For the second year now, college is hosting a luncheon and speaker series for all alumni, parents and friends of the college. Please join us for this great opportunity to network and socialize with others in the Des Moines area and learn from interesting and dynamic speakers.

Dr. James Martin-Schramm

"Luther's Renewable Energy Projects and Climate Action Goals"

In September 2011 Luther took a historic step toward substantially shaving its carbon footprint by erecting a 1600 kilowatt wind turbine west of campus. In the summer of 2012 Luther began leasing a 280 kilowatt solar photovoltaic array to power Baker Village. Professor Martin-Schramm will talk about how these renewable energy projects and others are related to Luther’s Climate Action Goals, which call for a 50 percent reduction in campus greenhouse gas emissions by 2015, 70 percent by 2020, and net zero emissions by 2030. 

The schedule includes a buffet lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Come and go as you need, but don't miss Dr. Martin-Schramm's presentation at noon.
