LUTHER RECEIVES GRANT TO TELL THE STORIES OF ITS NORWEGIAN-LUTHERAN HERITAGE
The college has received a NetVUE Reframing the Institutional Saga grant of nearly $40,000 to prepare and publish a collection of essays that explore the college’s identity as a Norwegian-Lutheran liberal arts college.
“It's a great honor to receive this grant and to engage in broad conversations about Luther’s identity. Personally, I am energized to have the conversation with students, colleagues, and community members to think about how we see our Norwegian-Lutheran foundation as being inclusive and how we develop a strong story about these identities and what they mean for the college moving forward while being rooted in history.”
- Maren Johnson, associate professor of Nordic studies and project lead
