Our collective goal is to engage and support high school students in their college search.

The men and women who graduate from our Lutheran colleges and universities are disproportionately involved in our church communities, from lay leadership at the congregational level to positions of prominence in the larger church. This is in part because their faith and commitment have been nurtured through four years of college.

We want to continue to enroll Lutheran students at our colleges and universities. Your help at the congregational level is crucial. Here are five easy ideas you can implement this year to help us achieve this goal:

• Organize a Lutheran College Sunday and invite alumni in your congregation to wear clothing from their alma maters;
• Help students and families organize carpools to a Lutheran College Fair in your area;
• Identify a Champion of Lutheran Higher Education at your congregation who can talk to prospective students (and receive support and resources from lutherancolleges.org when they sign up on our website or join our network of Champions on Facebook);
• Post a map of the Lutheran colleges and universities in a central area at church (printed copies are available by request);
• Talk to a neighbor or friend about the value of a Lutheran higher education experience and point them to lutherancolleges.org for more information.
