Dear Class of 1989,
It’s been quite some time since you heard from a Class Agent! The COVID-19 turmoil and unrest in our world is difficult for all of us. Perseverance, adaptability, and flexibility seem to have become a way of life today. Please know you are all in my prayers as we continue to remain steadfast in hope for better days ahead.
As many of us have recently turned 55 or see it just around the corner, we will continue to show flexibility. That is one of the qualities of the liberal arts education experience we had at Luther. While we majored in one area, our lives may have taken us into many other directions. We became well rounded, enabling us to have flexibility in many facets of our lives.
Luther has certainly shown its flexibility in meeting the educational needs of students and the college is still actively adapting to the surrounding situations. The escalating costs of education have faculty and administrators adapting to stretch resources while maintaining quality. Some have been challenging adaptations as curricular options have closed. Others show Luther’s continuing response to the needs of the world around as new programs are devised.
The academic year at Luther is progressing, and spring semester is well underway. Seniors are looking forward to their graduation. Remember that day, the march to the field, and having our families there to share that special experience with us? Remember the anticipation of that last semester at Luther? I thought about that final semester as I reminisced and made a pledge to the seventh annual Giving Day on Thursday, March 10th. Did you miss your chance to contribute? Your gift, at any time, has a strong impact and allows the college to adapt and change with the flow of time. I continue to credit my Luther education in giving me the necessary flexibility and adaptability on which I have come to rely.
May your flexibility continue!
