Subject: Who Went to Seminary? Who Went to Divinity School?
Submitter: Ross Murray, Campus Ministry Associate; Tutoring Services Coordinator; , Campus Ministry and Academic Skills Office

Message: Last week, I dropped the names of several faculty and staff who attended seminary or divinity school. According to my not-so-careful research, we have at least 28 staff and faculty who attended seminary or divinity school. The vast majority went to Luther Seminary (or a seminary that later became Luther Seminary) Find out who they are, where you can find them on campus, and where they went.*

*Disclaimer #1: My “research” was conducted by looking at faculty web pages for a seminary or divinity school degree in their educational history. This means that there is a number of adjunct faculty, or faculty who do not have web pages that list educational history that I may have missed.

*Disclaimer #2: Most staff members do not have their educational history displayed in an easy place, like a web page. To find what staff members have attended, I relied on my own knowledge and gossip about who attended seminary or divinity schools. Thus, this list may miss some folks.

*Disclaimer #3: I wrote “Luther Seminary” for some folks who went to a predecessor institution to Luther. While this may not be completely accurate, it does help students to understand what institutions exist today. It’s Luther Seminary today…get over it.

With those two disclaimers out of the way, here is the list I found. You will find the name, the department, and the institution(s).
Kristin Anderson, Art, Luther Seminary
David Apolloni, Philosophy, Luther Seminary
Janelle Bussert, Religion, Yale Divinity School
Lee Clarke, Business, Trinity Seminary
Larry Crocket, Computer Science, Luther Seminary
Mark Engebretson, Physics, Luther Seminary
Joe Erickson, Education, Luther Seminary

Lori Hale, Religion, University of Chicago
Garry Hesser, Sociology, Union Theological Seminary
Brad Holt, Religion, Luther Seminary & Yale Divinity School
Russell Kleckley, Religion, Southern Seminary
Lynne, Lorenzen, Religion, Claremont Graduate School & Luther Seminary
Mary Lowe, Religion, Luther Seminary & Graduate Theological Union
Ray Makeever, Campus Ministry, Luther Seminary
Jeremy Meyers, Religion, Luther Seminary
Ross Murray, Campus Ministry, Luther Seminary
Ron Petrich, Education, United Theological Seminary
Paul Pribbenow, President, University of Chicago
Phil Quanbeck, Religion, Luther Seminary
Patrice Salmeri, StepUP, Trinity Seminary
Bev Stratton, Religion, Luther Seminary
David Tiede, Religion, Princeton, Luther & Harvard Divinity School
Mark Tranvik, Religion, Yale Divinity School & Luther Seminary
Hans Wiersma, Religion, Luther Seminary
Jay Wiesner, GLBTQA Student Advisor, Wartburg Seminary
Dave Wold, Campus Ministry, Luther Seminary

If I left your name off the list, please make yourselves known to students. Please pray for the 15 students attending the Seminary and Divinity School Day at Gustavus Adolphus this Thursday. Also, please continue to ask these faculty and staff members about their experiences at their institutions.

Thank you,
Ross Murray, Luther Seminary ‘03
