Share your news with Luther.

The Advancement Office maintains records to enable alumni and friends to keep in touch with Luther and with one another over the course of their lives. Sharing information with Luther helps us sustain and strengthen your connections with Luther and others in the Luther community.
NorseCONNECT
NorseCONNECT is an alumni and donor self-service portal and Luther’s online alumni directory. We encourage you to use it to stay in touch with friends from Luther, as well as to view and update your information, view your giving history, and manage your communication preferences.
Host your own Luther event.
We love helping alumni, parents, and friends host their own Luther events. It’s a fun and casual way to gather with fellow Norse in your community! Let us know when you have an event in mind, and Luther will provide supplies and help spread the word.
