During the 2012 academic year a record 73 international students, representing 27 countries, have studied at Luther Seminary.
The Rev. Dr. Falres Ilomo, a visiting scholar from Tanzania, joined the campus community for the spring semester. During this time, Ilomo taught classes, presented lectures and enriched learning by bringing an international perspective to the community. The visiting scholar program and other on-campus events centered on global mission happen regularly at Luther—all thanks to the work of the Global Mission Institute and its faithful donors.
The GMI serves as a center for global awareness, hospitality and networking at Luther Seminary. It is funded entirely by gifts and grants from individuals, congregations, foundations and corporations.
