What are some activities you’ve been involved in while at Luther?

I play Ultimate Frisbee, and I’m the facilitator for FOCUS. I’ve been really involved in College Ministries all three years – the religion department too. [I consider] the religion faculty and pastors here role models. I’ve never had any issues with feeling accepted here at Luther.

The sun is peeking through the clouds, the flowers are blooming and the slacklines are sprouting up.

Slacklining has become more and more popular on campus over the last couple years.
“It’s really just a big test of balance, patience and the ability to want to keep progressing,” Matthias Broner (‘14) said.

It’s a blader! It’s a boarder! Wrong, it’s Matt Boelter (‘16) on his unicycle.

What are some activities you’ve been involved in while at Luther?

I’ve been a part of Luther cross country and track for all four years and some of my greatest memories are with the team. I’ve run at Cross Country Nationals three times and Track Nationals for the steeplechase twice, so I’ve gotten a lot of great opportunities to compete while here.

At 5:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, most students are sound asleep or counting sheep. Mary Ferrian (‘13), on the other hand, is traveling to greener pastures. Clad in overalls and steel-toed boots, she embarks to begin another morning of milking cows.

Maia Mastel (‘14) is used to making people’s days brighter.

Mastel makes the drive four times a week just past Walmart to local nursing home Wellington Place in order to give her time to the elderly residents.

What are some activities you’ve been involved in while at Luther?

I did Norsemen my freshman year and I’ve been playing in Philharmonia since sophomore year. I organize a lot of music for student ensembles – that’s really what I do here, write music and find people to play it. The music faculty [at Luther has been] incredible, and the composition teacher is amazing.
