Each academic year brings new and returning faces to Luther Seminary. New students will begin their seminary journey, while fourth year Master of Divinity students will return from internships to begin their final years of study before graduation. In keeping with the tradition of welcoming new faces each fall, “Life at Luther” invites students to share their stories of seminary life during this academic year.
In its third year, the “Life at Luther” blog provides glimpses of Luther seminary life and learning with the seminary community and friends. The 2008-09 academic year blog team has expanded to include six students. These students are:
- James Brooks, Distributed Learning M.Div., currently resides in Chicago, Ill. James is a member of the first cohort in the Distributed Learning Master of Divinity program.
- Chase Foreman, M.Div. Middler, originally from St. Paul, Minn. His aspiration is to become a pastor and hobbies including gardening and music.
- Jennifer Falkman, M.Div. Senior, originally from Longville, Minn. Her hobbies include listening to music, reading and running.
- Nina Joy, M.A. Senior in Children, Youth and Family Ministry, originally from Vermillion, S.D. Her hobbies include writing poetry, going on road trips and exploring all new things.
- Margaret Obaga, ’08 M.Th., First Year Ph.D., from Kenya. After receiving a Master of Theology from Luther last spring, Margaret is continuing her studies as a Ph.D. student in pastoral care and counseling.
