Sadao Watanabe Works Exhibited on Campus   


Sadao Watanabe once remarked that he preferred that his prints hang in the ordinary places of life: "I would most like to see them [his prints] hanging where people ordinarily gather, because Jesus brought the gospel for the people." Such is the mingei philosophy of art for and by the people.
 
The Luther Seminary Fine Arts Committee presents an exhibit of 15 Watanabe prints in the Board Room of the Olson Campus Center. The exhibit runs through October.

Welcome New Students!

President and Mrs. Bliese welcomed the new international students to campus during their orientation. The new students are from Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, South Korea, Sweden, and Tanzania. This year, 55 international students from 21 different countries are studying at Luther Seminary.

Online Version of Global Vision!

The Spring 2009 issue of Global Vision launched an electronic version of the GMI's newsletter. We encourage you to sign up to receive our free, bi-annual newsletter in this new format. It is our goal to be able to more readily connect with students, alums and friends in the states and around the globe.

Moving in the direction of an online newsletter will also allow the GMI to be good stewards of our resources.

Along with good stewardship, an electronic edition of Global Vision will allow readers to be more connected to additional resources and updates from the GMI and Luther Seminary.
