MLC Alumni Association members share a common bond. Well trained and prepared to share their Savior, they are committed to serving him however and wherever the Lord chooses to use them.

The MLCAA is made up of more than 10,000 graduates and attendees of Martin Luther College, Dr. Martin Luther College, Northwestern College, and Martin Luther Academy/Dr. Martin Luther High School. Together, we support and pray for the current students and the ministry of MLC. We also take advantage of opportunities to gather together and encourage one another.

The board meets on campus annually during Homecoming weekend to provide direction, plan events, coordinate funding efforts, and devise communication plans. They also meet throughout the year via teleconference. The 2023 on-campus meeting took place on September 29, and the 2024 gathering is slated for October 4.

The association is extremely excited about the successful completion of the 2022-23 projects, which provided our students with the Christian Worship Psalter and Teq Lite tables. The Psalter is used by students in worship, instruction, personal devotion, and choir. The Teq Lite tables provide new indoor activities for the long winter months and develop skills for our soccer and volleyball players. Also, 70% of all gifts from the 2022-23 school year supported the MLCAA Scholarship. Online gifts can be made here, or checks can be sent to MLCAA, 1995 Luther Ct., New Ulm, MN 56073.
