Rachel Brummond '15
In Washington, D.C., the Cherry Blossom Festival is winding up, and so is my time here. It's been a rewarding experience, and I am continually amazed at the incredible network of Lutheran colleges of which Luther is a part. Similarly, I've had some remarkable experiences with Luther alumni, including a member of the Board of Regents who took a group of Luther students out to dinner--his treat! The conversations and levels of intellect that are a part of the fabric of Luther are what makes me so proud to have represented the college here in our nation's capital. Those elements of Norse life are represented even in this edition of the Parent Newsletter. This month we have sports, science, art, and student activities, as well as a taste of the Luther humor and good-natured spirit that abounds on our campus. As always, if you have questions, comments, or concerns, I encourage you to contact us at parentnewsletter@luther.edu

Message from Corey Landstrom, vice president and dean for student life

We are near the home stretch as Easter weekend approaches. Students will return from Easter break with the realization that there are only a few weeks left in the semester. What does this mean? It's time to hone in, focus, and be productive: complete reading assignments before class, participate in class discussions, and engage with faculty and classmates through a myriad of tools outside the classroom.
While upholding their class responsibilities is important, it's also critical that students pay attention to their own health and well-being. All-nighters and other extreme measures can cause more harm than success. Research suggests such measures are not effective. I remember my first quarter in college and feeling like I needed to do an all-nighter for finals week. So, I did an all-nighter. That was the first and last one I did in seven years of college and graduate work. I was not at the top of my game, after staying up all night, and it showed in my exams. READ MORE...

Marcks works presented at Luther
Over the course of World War II, thousands of valuable artworks were lost, either through willful destruction or as collateral damage. Many works were lost even through the oppression of artists. An exhibit titled "Gerhard Marcks: Woodcuts from the Fine Arts Collection," featuring works created by Gerhard Marcks, an artist living in Germany at the time of the Nazi regime, will be on display April 7-May 25 in Preus Library on the Luther College campus.
