The receipt of one of the largest planned gift commitments in college history has lifted Luther College to its greatest single year of fund-raising.

On May 4, Luther College dedicated a new space for outdoor informal gatherings on campus. The Davidson Møteplass (Norwegian for “gathering space”) was made possible by a gift from Luther alumni Thor Davidson, class of 1993, and Wendy (Jaycox) Davidson, class of 1992. It supports Luther’s strategic framework and campus master plan, and highlights Luther’s roots in Nordic culture, as the first college in the U.S. founded by Norwegian immigrants. 

The clinic serves patients who do not have access to professional health services, mainly because of cost.

Several generous donors are helping to make high-quality education accessible to all students.

The campaign raised more than $310,000 from 1,189 donors to support student-athletes.

The Ride for Ukraine fundraiser, organized by Luther College students, was a major success.
