Claim Your Place

From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I felt Luther was the perfect fit for me. My passion is to help at-risk students change their lives for the better. Being involved in a community as diverse yet inclusive, proactive, and genuine as Luther’s has allowed me to make connections with people of all denominations, life experiences, and ethnic backgrounds.
