This Juneteenth, we honor the enduring pursuit of freedom, equality, and opportunity.✨ As Luther alumni, we understand the transformative power of education to open doors, strengthen communities, and create pathways for generations to come. 💙

"Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that freedom, truth, and human dignity are values worth protecting and advancing. In the spirit of Luther College's commitment to community and inclusivity, may this day inspire us to deepen our understanding, strengthen our connections, and work toward a future where all may belong."
– Dr. Robert Clay, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer

We are saddened to share the passing of Luther Legend, Kent Finanger '54.

If you have nine minutes to spare, relive Coach Kent in an interview after receiving the Spirit of Luther Award in 2012.
