We work to tell the stories of Luther College, showing how the Luther community learns actively, lives purposefully, and leads courageously for a lifetime of impact. Our goal is to deliver these stories to the right people at the right time so that they take action to join the Luther community and support the college.

The team of professional staff creates postcards, posters, brochures, email headers, digital signage, and other promotional items primarily for the divisions of Enrollment Management, Alumni and Development, and Communications.
The Luther College logo is a distinct and significant symbol that represents the institution. This logo sets the foundation for understanding who Luther College is and serves as our key identifier in every communication product.
