An Iowa College in the Liberal Arts Tradition
Being Community
Being a community is central to the mission of Luther College. In this time of a global pandemic, we have been called to a new way of being community. This resource is a place for us to educate, learn, and grow toward this ideal.
Luther is shaped by us.

COVID-19 Dashboard
As a residential college, Luther is a place of intersection. Founded where river, woodland, and prairie meet, we practice joyful stewardship of the resources that surround us, and we strive to be a community where students, faculty, and staff are enlivened and transformed by encounters with one another, by the exchange of ideas, and by the life of faith and learning.
