We have called Pastor Angela Shannon as our new Dean of Student Life for Luther Seminary. She has been serving most recently as pastor in a large congregation in Dallas, Texas.
Pastor Shannon brings a wealth of experience to this position. She received her undergraduate degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice Sciences from Valparaiso University and her Master of Divinity from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She has held a number of positions in social work and, since receiving her M.Div. degree in 1996, has served in multiple rural, urban and suburban congregations.
Pastor Shannon will work closely with our seminary students and help them with the discernment process. She will also help prepare students for leading in church settings by sharing experiences from her ministry. We believe she will be a strong asset to our students and to Luther Seminary.
