RERUNS

Finals Prep Week  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 include only athletic events, social gatherings, Christmas in the Union, and Kwanzaa.

The Development Office is looking for engaging students for a work study position. Job duties would include communicating with alumni to update contact information and asking for donations to the Luther Fund. Ideal candidates are great communicators and have a lot of Luther spirit! Hours are in the evening and are flexible.  Visit our application  to apply. Contact Asmita Bharam with questions.

Who needs a flu vaccine?   YOU!  Protect yourself, loved ones, and the Luther community! There will be another opportunity to get the flu vaccine on Monday, December 3 in the   Regents Center (lower level) from 2:00-4:30 p.m.  Students may charge their student account and do not need to pay at the time of service. Faculty and Staff will need to pay with cash or check and will receive a receipt for reimbursement. The vaccine is $25.

Resist phishing emails — Watch for these clues that a message could be a scam: poor grammar and punctuation, threats, a sense of urgency, and asking recipients to click on a link or provide personal information. If unsure about a message, contact the Technology Help Desk or 387-1000. For more information and tips, visit  www.luther.edu/helpdesk/safecomputing/phishing/
