If there is ever a time to see the way the Luther community comes together, it is over Homecoming. We would like to express our most sincere thank you to the Luther family for all of the prep work that went into preparing for the weekend and the hours spent over the weekend helping Luther alumni and their families feel at home. To individually name everyone, or even each department, would take over most of the Tuesday-so we will simply say thank you students, staff and faculty for caring about this place so much and helping us celebrate another fantastic Luther College Homecoming!
---President Carlson and Thomas Schattauer
