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 with just over $33 million committed, President Jenifer K. Ward announced prior to the 2024 Commencement.

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.
