for a complete list of events happening this week.
Finals Prep Week
- A campus programming reminder to all that Tuesday, Dec. 10 through Sunday, Dec. 15 is considered Finals Prep Week and is intended to provide additional space for students to prepare for tests, papers, and finals. These six days are set aside for academic preparation for finals, and Luther does not schedule public events during this time, including student-led events. Exceptions are social gatherings, athletic events, Christmas in the Union, and Kwanzaa.
Vagina Monologue "Zine"
- In congruence with the final production of the Vagina Monologues, we are planning to put together a “zine” to sell at the show to fund-raise for Helping Services in Decorah. We are looking for Luther students, staff, or faculty (of any gender expression) to write a brief piece about their experiences, struggles, and triumphs with their body or their sexuality. We will also accept visual interpretations. This is in an effort to broaden the stories that are told through the Monologues and show a diverse set of experiences that the Luther community have lived through that are not captured in the on-stage production. Authors may choose if they would like their name published in the zine or if they would like to remain anonymous. Please submit your piece using
this form
before Feb. 16, 2020.
