On October 1 we began our month-long Homecoming and Reunions celebration for 2021! This year Luther is gathering together class reunions (for class years ending in 1s and 6s) and celebrating award recipients throughout October in an effort to decrease the number of guests on campus at any given time and to align with the college's COVID-19 policies.

With gratitude we thank everyone who traveled to Decorah October 1-3, including members of the Classes of 2016, 2011, 1996, 1986, 1981, 1971, and 1966. During the weekend we also recognized Distinguished Service Award recipients, Athletic Hall of Fame inductees, and 2021 music award recipients. Read more about these special awards below!

We look forward to gathering with the classes of 2006, 2001, 1991, 1976, 1961, 1956, and 1951 on Saturday, October 16. This year's Phi Beta Kappa Symposium on the Liberal Arts will also be held on October 16 at 11:00 a.m. via Zoom, featuring speakers Dr. Stacie Mickens '02, Dr. Beth Willer '03, and Dr. Amanda Weber '08.

Over the weekend of October 29-31, we will celebrate the Class of 2020 with a special one-year reunion.

Happy Homecoming and Reunions month to all, near and far! Be sure to mark your calendars now for Homecoming 2022, October 7-9. We value you and deeply appreciate your support of the college - especially during these challenging times!

On September 11, members from the 1985 cross country team gathered on campus for the induction ceremony and celebration. The 1985 team, led by Head Coach Kent Finanger '54, is the only Luther team to win a national championship. 

Each year Luther recognizes alumni who have demonstrated meritorious service to society, loyalty and service to Luther, and fidelity to the ideals of Luther. On October 1, an on-campus program was held, featuring videos, to celebrate nine 2021 and seven 2020 Distinguished Service Award recipients.

On October 2, seven Luther alumni were inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame, honoring their achievements in college sports, professional careers, and community leadership.
