Last week in Norwegian 201, students explored Norwegian values and how they are displayed on campus. From community and equality to sustainability and appreciation for the outdoors, students took a closer look at how the values that shape Norwegian culture appear in everyday life at Luther College.

It was a great opportunity for students to connect what they’re learning in the classroom with the world around them and take a look at Norwegian Culture from a new perspective.

Looking back on the year with much gratitude that Luther College was given the opportunity to welcome His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to our campus.

This visit served as a powerful reminder that the ties between North America and Norway are not only historical but are very much alive and relevant today!

What does it mean to truly carry a tradition forward?

In this lecture, Norwegian artist and psychotherapist Mona Stenseth explores the difference between reproducing tradition and expressing through it.

Working at the intersection of identity and ornament, Stenseth approaches rosemaling not as decoration, but as a living language—shaped through rhythm, repetition, and human experience. Drawing from both her artistic practice and her background in expressive therapy, she reflects on how tradition is learned, internalized, and transformed across generations.
