As part of the Reformation 500 celebration, students contributed their thumbprints to a Luther’s Seal mural outside Wittenberg Auditorium. AIM, the Art in Ministry club at MLC, facilitated this project. For one week in October 2017, students like Eric Dorn (Illinois LHS / Trinity-Crete IL, pictured) lined up after morning chapel, dipped their fingers in […]
Christian Willick (LPS / St. John-Wauwatosa WI) and Jacob Klug (Lakeside / St. John-Juneau WI) organized the ensemble that braved freezing temperatures to wake up the campus with Reformation hymns for the campus Reformation 500 festival. They played on the Luther Student Center roof.
“We had a crazy come-from-behind victory in the fifth set,” says Taylor Weber (KML / Bethlehem-Germantown WI, the libero in red). “We were losing 14-7, and then we came back to top the Bethany Vikings 16-14. It was the most thrilling game I have ever played in, and I’ve never felt so proud to be […]
Students on immersion trips pledge to speak only Spanish (or Chinese if they’ve landed further east).

Did it seem a little scary at first? Yes! Did I get […]
The “Back to the Luther” Homecoming theme sent students scrambling across campus to take pictures with MLC icons, including the Luther bust in the library. Lucy Matteucci (CLHS / Living Hope-Wildomar CA, pictured right) says, “I loved that history was mixed in with our campus life in this event. We don’t realize that history is […]

Isaac Hayes (pictured far left) explains: “The purpose of these gatherings is the brotherhood and fellowship with our fellow brothers who are on the pastor track—not just among the students, but the […]
Their faces say it all. In May 2017 Amber Zibrowski (MVL / Mt. Olive-Mankato MN) and Seth Zoellner (St. Croix LHS / Bloomington-Bloomington MN) heard they were called to the Milwaukee area, Amber to St. Lucas-Milwaukee and Seth to Trinity-Waukesha.
