Message from the President
The year 2014‐2015 at our High School campus (LCHS) opened with the major event of
the grand opening of our new facilities on September 9 2014 Dignitaries attending
included the Minister of Education the Honourable Don Morgan past presidents
Morris Anderson and Richard Hordern as well as major donors Merlis Belsher (HSrsquo53)
and Gavin Semple (HSrsquo63) and many other friends and alumni of the school The new
facilities were ready for the opening of school and there was a great spirit of celebration
as old and new friends explored and experienced a refurbished Luther College High
School (LCHS) Chapel continued to be held in the old gym now called the Merlis
Belsher Heritage Centre though the configuration was different and soon thought to be
better as students faced the stage and gathered on three sides of the central speaker
usually our new chaplain Rev David Peterson Students were excited to use all the
facilities but the Student Commons turned out to be a particularly exciting new
addition for the students of LCHS
Fund‐raising for these new facilities continued with the capital campaign ATime to
Build At the end of June 2015 over $105M had been raised towards the $135M goal
Dedicated volunteers and staff continue to work towards the goal that will ensure the
school is not burdened with an onerous debt in future years
As the finishing touches were being put on the facilities a fire occurred in the kitchen
caused by needed renovations to the duct work in the kitchen This necessitated
alternate cooking arrangements in the form of a kitchen trailer until March Mike Stobbs
and his kitchen staff endured the extra work most admirably continuing to serve
appetizing and healthy meals to our students
On January 23 2015 a parentsrsquo group at Luther College High School hosted the first
ever lsquoBlack and Gold Galarsquo meant to both raise funds and promote fellowship among
the parents and friends of Luther College Over 175 people attended and because of the
superb organization of the parents over $40000 was raised for the new furniture in the
Student Commons The parent organizers themselves enjoyed their time organizing the
gala and are committed to making this an annual event
The LCHS strategic plan at the LCHS campus continued to unfold with major work
accomplished in the area of faculty professional development determining and
enhancing the place of the IB program in the Collegersquos academic offerings and
developing the position of Athletic Director with a renewed emphasis on the sports
teams and wellness aspect of the College The Senior Leadership Team also worked
hard at determining how to maximize the use of the new facilities Security was
determined to be an issue with the new facilities but money and worktime was set aside
for the summer of 2015 to ensure this aspect of the LCHS operation was addressed
Luther College Regina Annual Report 2014‐2015 4
At the University campus (LCUR) having had the strategic plan ldquoMeeting the
Challenges of a 21st Century Liberal Arts Collegerdquo approved by our Board in June of
2014 work began on its first year of implementation Teams were formed around
themes like academic programming student programming student diversity capacity
building marketing recruiting and physical plant
With money received from the Ministry of Advanced Education to remove the asbestos
in our residence a plan to renovate the forty‐four year old structure was approved by
the Board The renovation is expected to be finished by Christmas 2016 and involves
new windows new heating systems new furniture new showers and a host of
aesthetic improvements like carpeting and lighting The College also engaged a
marketing firm to help develop a plan for the College who like all other liberal arts
colleges in Canada is suffering from declining enrolments The marketing plan was
approved by the Board in June and key messages as well as significant aspects of the
plan will be rolled out in the fall of 2015 In an effort to ensure that students know that
our Christian context involves being hospitable to all students gender neutral
washrooms were dedicated by our chaplain in the spring of 2015
A search for a new permanent chaplain at the LCUR campus was initiated in the spring
of 2015 After interviewing four very strong finalists the position was offered to Pastor
Sean Bell who will begin in August of 2015 His crew of dedicated peer chaplains will
help most of whom have been in place for three years to ease the transition for him
and the College With the retirement of Mary Jesse our long‐serving and incredibly
dedicated Registrar a search was initiated by Dean Greifenhagen Again after
interviewing a strong slate of finalists the position was offered to Tatum Cruise who
will begin her position in the summer of 2015
Our Board was very active also Two more Regents completed training sponsored by
the Ministry of Advanced Education joining three other Regents in becoming certified
Professional Directors An Enterprise Risk Management policy inventory and registry
were developed and approved by the end of June 2015 filling a key gap indicated by
the Ministryrsquos governance policy inventory a year earlier Human resource policies
regarding the hiring of senior management were also approved Finally our
Governance Committee initiated a study regarding what alternatives there were to
what constitutes our corporate membership For now it was determined that we are
best to stay with the current legislation wherein our membership is constituted by that
of the national convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) In
this regard the Board also approved a memorandum of understanding that would see
further meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration between Luther College and
the ELCIC

High School Chaplaincy
Pastor David Peterson has completed his first year of working at LCHS Much of this
year has been an orientation to the different committees including Senior Leadership
Academic and Advising and the Board Pastor David has been grateful to Pastor Larry
Fry for his good advice and direction which has helped the transition immensely
Pastor David has participated in many of the school events throughout the year
including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

broaden the scope to include different spiritual traditions

Message from the President
The year 2014‐2015 at our High School campus (LCHS) opened with the major event of
the grand opening of our new facilities on September 9 2014 Dignitaries attending
included the Minister of Education the Honourable Don Morgan past presidents
Morris Anderson and Richard Hordern as well as major donors Merlis Belsher (HSrsquo53)
and Gavin Semple (HSrsquo63) and many other friends and alumni of the school The new
facilities were ready for the opening of school and there was a great spirit of celebration
as old and new friends explored and experienced a refurbished Luther College High
School (LCHS) Chapel continued to be held in the old gym now called the Merlis
Belsher Heritage Centre though the configuration was different and soon thought to be
better as students faced the stage and gathered on three sides of the central speaker
usually our new chaplain Rev David Peterson Students were excited to use all the
facilities but the Student Commons turned out to be a particularly exciting new
addition for the students of LCHS
Fund‐raising for these new facilities continued with the capital campaign ATime to
Build At the end of June 2015 over $105M had been raised towards the $135M goal
Dedicated volunteers and staff continue to work towards the goal that will ensure the
school is not burdened with an onerous debt in future years
As the finishing touches were being put on the facilities a fire occurred in the kitchen
caused by needed renovations to the duct work in the kitchen This necessitated
alternate cooking arrangements in the form of a kitchen trailer until March Mike Stobbs
and his kitchen staff endured the extra work most admirably continuing to serve
appetizing and healthy meals to our students
On January 23 2015 a parentsrsquo group at Luther College High School hosted the first
ever lsquoBlack and Gold Galarsquo meant to both raise funds and promote fellowship among
the parents and friends of Luther College Over 175 people attended and because of the
superb organization of the parents over $40000 was raised for the new furniture in the
Student Commons The parent organizers themselves enjoyed their time organizing the
gala and are committed to making this an annual event
The LCHS strategic plan at the LCHS campus continued to unfold with major work
accomplished in the area of faculty professional development determining and
enhancing the place of the IB program in the Collegersquos academic offerings and
developing the position of Athletic Director with a renewed emphasis on the sports
teams and wellness aspect of the College The Senior Leadership Team also worked
hard at determining how to maximize the use of the new facilities Security was
determined to be an issue with the new facilities but money and worktime was set aside
for the summer of 2015 to ensure this aspect of the LCHS operation was addressed
Luther College Regina Annual Report 2014‐2015 4
At the University campus (LCUR) having had the strategic plan ldquoMeeting the
Challenges of a 21st Century Liberal Arts Collegerdquo approved by our Board in June of
2014 work began on its first year of implementation Teams were formed around
themes like academic programming student programming student diversity capacity
building marketing recruiting and physical plant
With money received from the Ministry of Advanced Education to remove the asbestos
in our residence a plan to renovate the forty‐four year old structure was approved by
the Board The renovation is expected to be finished by Christmas 2016 and involves
new windows new heating systems new furniture new showers and a host of
aesthetic improvements like carpeting and lighting The College also engaged a
marketing firm to help develop a plan for the College who like all other liberal arts
colleges in Canada is suffering from declining enrolments The marketing plan was
approved by the Board in June and key messages as well as significant aspects of the
plan will be rolled out in the fall of 2015 In an effort to ensure that students know that
our Christian context involves being hospitable to all students gender neutral
washrooms were dedicated by our chaplain in the spring of 2015
A search for a new permanent chaplain at the LCUR campus was initiated in the spring
of 2015 After interviewing four very strong finalists the position was offered to Pastor
Sean Bell who will begin in August of 2015 His crew of dedicated peer chaplains will
help most of whom have been in place for three years to ease the transition for him
and the College With the retirement of Mary Jesse our long‐serving and incredibly
dedicated Registrar a search was initiated by Dean Greifenhagen Again after
interviewing a strong slate of finalists the position was offered to Tatum Cruise who
will begin her position in the summer of 2015
Our Board was very active also Two more Regents completed training sponsored by
the Ministry of Advanced Education joining three other Regents in becoming certified
Professional Directors An Enterprise Risk Management policy inventory and registry
were developed and approved by the end of June 2015 filling a key gap indicated by
the Ministryrsquos governance policy inventory a year earlier Human resource policies
regarding the hiring of senior management were also approved Finally our
Governance Committee initiated a study regarding what alternatives there were to
what constitutes our corporate membership For now it was determined that we are
best to stay with the current legislation wherein our membership is constituted by that
of the national convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) In
this regard the Board also approved a memorandum of understanding that would see
further meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration between Luther College and
the ELCIC
Luther College Regina Annual Report 2014‐2015 5
The year was a busy year with many accomplishments by our hard‐working staff and
faculty This annual report gives me a chance to express my appreciation to all those
who have worked so hard for the sake of our students as well as the well‐being and
future of our College I include in this number our volunteer Board who puts in so
many hours of deliberation and continues to amaze me with their creative and strategic
thinking As well our thanks go out to all our alumni and friends who continue to
support the College and make it a living embodiment of Godrsquos work of grace among us

High School Chaplaincy
Pastor David Peterson has completed his first year of working at LCHS Much of this
year has been an orientation to the different committees including Senior Leadership
Academic and Advising and the Board Pastor David has been grateful to Pastor Larry
Fry for his good advice and direction which has helped the transition immensely
Pastor David has participated in many of the school events throughout the year
including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

through a focus on the Golden Rule mutual respect justice and community building

broaden the scope to include different spiritual traditions

Message from the President
The year 2014‐2015 at our High School campus (LCHS) opened with the major event of
the grand opening of our new facilities on September 9 2014 Dignitaries attending
included the Minister of Education the Honourable Don Morgan past presidents
Morris Anderson and Richard Hordern as well as major donors Merlis Belsher (HSrsquo53)
and Gavin Semple (HSrsquo63) and many other friends and alumni of the school The new
facilities were ready for the opening of school and there was a great spirit of celebration
as old and new friends explored and experienced a refurbished Luther College High
School (LCHS) Chapel continued to be held in the old gym now called the Merlis
Belsher Heritage Centre though the configuration was different and soon thought to be
better as students faced the stage and gathered on three sides of the central speaker
usually our new chaplain Rev David Peterson Students were excited to use all the
facilities but the Student Commons turned out to be a particularly exciting new
addition for the students of LCHS
Fund‐raising for these new facilities continued with the capital campaign ATime to
Build At the end of June 2015 over $105M had been raised towards the $135M goal
Dedicated volunteers and staff continue to work towards the goal that will ensure the
school is not burdened with an onerous debt in future years
As the finishing touches were being put on the facilities a fire occurred in the kitchen
caused by needed renovations to the duct work in the kitchen This necessitated
alternate cooking arrangements in the form of a kitchen trailer until March Mike Stobbs
and his kitchen staff endured the extra work most admirably continuing to serve
appetizing and healthy meals to our students
On January 23 2015 a parentsrsquo group at Luther College High School hosted the first
ever lsquoBlack and Gold Galarsquo meant to both raise funds and promote fellowship among
the parents and friends of Luther College Over 175 people attended and because of the
superb organization of the parents over $40000 was raised for the new furniture in the
Student Commons The parent organizers themselves enjoyed their time organizing the
gala and are committed to making this an annual event
The LCHS strategic plan at the LCHS campus continued to unfold with major work
accomplished in the area of faculty professional development determining and
enhancing the place of the IB program in the Collegersquos academic offerings and
developing the position of Athletic Director with a renewed emphasis on the sports
teams and wellness aspect of the College The Senior Leadership Team also worked
hard at determining how to maximize the use of the new facilities Security was
determined to be an issue with the new facilities but money and worktime was set aside
for the summer of 2015 to ensure this aspect of the LCHS operation was addressed
Luther College Regina Annual Report 2014‐2015 4
At the University campus (LCUR) having had the strategic plan ldquoMeeting the
Challenges of a 21st Century Liberal Arts Collegerdquo approved by our Board in June of
2014 work began on its first year of implementation Teams were formed around
themes like academic programming student programming student diversity capacity
building marketing recruiting and physical plant
With money received from the Ministry of Advanced Education to remove the asbestos
in our residence a plan to renovate the forty‐four year old structure was approved by
the Board The renovation is expected to be finished by Christmas 2016 and involves
new windows new heating systems new furniture new showers and a host of
aesthetic improvements like carpeting and lighting The College also engaged a
marketing firm to help develop a plan for the College who like all other liberal arts
colleges in Canada is suffering from declining enrolments The marketing plan was
approved by the Board in June and key messages as well as significant aspects of the
plan will be rolled out in the fall of 2015 In an effort to ensure that students know that
our Christian context involves being hospitable to all students gender neutral
washrooms were dedicated by our chaplain in the spring of 2015
A search for a new permanent chaplain at the LCUR campus was initiated in the spring
of 2015 After interviewing four very strong finalists the position was offered to Pastor
Sean Bell who will begin in August of 2015 His crew of dedicated peer chaplains will
help most of whom have been in place for three years to ease the transition for him
and the College With the retirement of Mary Jesse our long‐serving and incredibly
dedicated Registrar a search was initiated by Dean Greifenhagen Again after
interviewing a strong slate of finalists the position was offered to Tatum Cruise who
will begin her position in the summer of 2015
Our Board was very active also Two more Regents completed training sponsored by
the Ministry of Advanced Education joining three other Regents in becoming certified
Professional Directors An Enterprise Risk Management policy inventory and registry
were developed and approved by the end of June 2015 filling a key gap indicated by
the Ministryrsquos governance policy inventory a year earlier Human resource policies
regarding the hiring of senior management were also approved Finally our
Governance Committee initiated a study regarding what alternatives there were to
what constitutes our corporate membership For now it was determined that we are
best to stay with the current legislation wherein our membership is constituted by that
of the national convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) In
this regard the Board also approved a memorandum of understanding that would see
further meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration between Luther College and
the ELCIC
Luther College Regina Annual Report 2014‐2015 5
The year was a busy year with many accomplishments by our hard‐working staff and
faculty This annual report gives me a chance to express my appreciation to all those
who have worked so hard for the sake of our students as well as the well‐being and
future of our College I include in this number our volunteer Board who puts in so
many hours of deliberation and continues to amaze me with their creative and strategic
thinking As well our thanks go out to all our alumni and friends who continue to
support the College and make it a living embodiment of Godrsquos work of grace among us

Academic and Advising and the Board Pastor David has been grateful to Pastor Larry
Fry for his good advice and direction which has helped the transition immensely
Pastor David has participated in many of the school events throughout the year
including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

At the University campus (LCUR) having had the strategic plan ldquoMeeting the
Challenges of a 21st Century Liberal Arts Collegerdquo approved by our Board in June of
2014 work began on its first year of implementation Teams were formed around
themes like academic programming student programming student diversity capacity
building marketing recruiting and physical plant
With money received from the Ministry of Advanced Education to remove the asbestos
in our residence a plan to renovate the forty‐four year old structure was approved by
the Board The renovation is expected to be finished by Christmas 2016 and involves
new windows new heating systems new furniture new showers and a host of
aesthetic improvements like carpeting and lighting The College also engaged a
marketing firm to help develop a plan for the College who like all other liberal arts
colleges in Canada is suffering from declining enrolments The marketing plan was
approved by the Board in June and key messages as well as significant aspects of the
plan will be rolled out in the fall of 2015 In an effort to ensure that students know that
our Christian context involves being hospitable to all students gender neutral
washrooms were dedicated by our chaplain in the spring of 2015
A search for a new permanent chaplain at the LCUR campus was initiated in the spring
of 2015 After interviewing four very strong finalists the position was offered to Pastor
Sean Bell who will begin in August of 2015 His crew of dedicated peer chaplains will
help most of whom have been in place for three years to ease the transition for him
and the College With the retirement of Mary Jesse our long‐serving and incredibly
dedicated Registrar a search was initiated by Dean Greifenhagen Again after
interviewing a strong slate of finalists the position was offered to Tatum Cruise who
will begin her position in the summer of 2015
Our Board was very active also Two more Regents completed training sponsored by
the Ministry of Advanced Education joining three other Regents in becoming certified
Professional Directors An Enterprise Risk Management policy inventory and registry
were developed and approved by the end of June 2015 filling a key gap indicated by
the Ministryrsquos governance policy inventory a year earlier Human resource policies
regarding the hiring of senior management were also approved Finally our
Governance Committee initiated a study regarding what alternatives there were to
what constitutes our corporate membership For now it was determined that we are
best to stay with the current legislation wherein our membership is constituted by that
of the national convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) In
this regard the Board also approved a memorandum of understanding that would see
further meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration between Luther College and
the ELCIC

including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty

focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

High School Chaplaincy
Pastor David Peterson has completed his first year of working at LCHS Much of this
year has been an orientation to the different committees including Senior Leadership
Academic and Advising and the Board Pastor David has been grateful to Pastor Larry
Fry for his good advice and direction which has helped the transition immensely
Pastor David has participated in many of the school events throughout the year
including information nights and student‐focused activities The chaplain regularly
connects with the Administration to keep abreast of events and concerns
Much of this yearrsquos energy has been spent in his first year of solo teaching This
involved familiarizing himself with the existing Christian Ethics 30 (CETH 30) material
and resources and adapting them The course focused on several themes including a
basic understanding of ethics Jesusrsquo ethics as portrayed in his parables and actions as
well as societal ethical issues such as justice This coming year will include designing a
specially tailored CETH 30 course that will accompany the upcoming El Salvador trip in
early 2016 This course will focus on issues such as poverty and wealth and more
internationally relevant concerns such as fair trade economies
The chaplain has on several occasions supported Pro‐D days with short reflections and
meditations In addition to prayers and scripture provided at ceremonial occasions (eg
Candlelight Service) worship opportunities were made available to staff and faculty
during Advent and Lent with early Friday morning communion The chaplain has
focused on an inclusive form of Chapel worship to support the many beliefs and

broaden the scope to include different spiritual traditions
