ROCHESTER SEMESTER/HUB UPDATE
We are excited to share an update to the Luther campus one week into the launch of Luther's new Rochester Semester program. Also noteworthy is that both  KTTC  and  KIMT  news stations in Rochester picked up the story and interviewed our students for stories that recently aired.
  • After a summer and fall of internship development as well as preparing students, we are thrilled with where they have landed.  Fourteen students, with nine majors represented, will be spending 20+ hrs/week under the direct guidance of a major researcher, director, or executive in diverse environments. They will also engage with community leaders and non-profits through their coursework.
  • There are 22 applications for the 2020-21 year in progress, but we need everyone's help in sharing the opportunities of this program to complete next year's class. The deadline for both semesters is Mar 1. Informational sessions will be held on Thursday, Feb 20, at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. in Valders 262. 
  • We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us ensure that students are aware of this new program. Please emphasize to any students that you engage with that this program is open to all majors.
  • Luther leased and furnished a floor in a housing community in downtown Rochester, and it offers unprecedented opportunities for our students year-round, including during Jterm (no additional cost) and the summer (economical rates).  However, any Luther student seeking Rochester housing for a summer job or internship needs to notify us as soon as possible, as any open summer rooms will soon be filled by Mayo Clinic Summer Research Fellows.
