40-Year Reunion

Your reunion committee is hard at work planning a fun and connective reunion weekend celebration. Stay tuned as reunion plans come together!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4 
CLASS OF 1985 REUNION RECEPTION
Steyer Opera House, Hotel Winneshiek 5:30

The Saturday night reunion is the main event! The reception format makes it easy to mix and mingle, and hearty hors d’oeuvres will be served. Wine, beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.

There is no formal dress code, and we encourage you to dress as you like

Registration will open this summer. Check back soon!

Join your Class Facebook Group! While you’re there, get in the reunion spirit by sharing photos and memories, and tagging classmates.

This fall, your class will celebrate the foundational role Luther College has played in your lives and enjoy the connections you formed with each other. By making a gift in honor of your 40-year reunion, you also make a difference for today’s Norse seeking the same transformative experience you had.

Thanks to the generosity of your classmates, your gift to the Luther Fund this year will go twice as far! Your contribution will make an immediate difference by supporting scholarships and financial aid, improving buildings and grounds, and creating new opportunities for student organizations and academics.

The dollar-for-dollar match is available until met, up to $50,000. Gifts and multi-year pledges (up to five years) given to the Luther Fund will activate matching funds.

Reunions matching challenge fund generously sponsored by Ann Bentdahl ’85 and Roger Smith, Linda (Rosholt) Hash ’85 and Lee Hash ’84, Susan Aspenson Murray ’85 and David Aspenson ’84, Nancy (Nygaard) Johnson ’85 and Jim Johnson, Kris (Hahn) Henderson ’85 and David Henderson, and Nancy Fincham ’85
