Strategic Themes

Luther College developed these five strategic themes following the development of the revised Vision, Mission and Values in 2022. The Luther Rose is at the center which highlights the fact that the Lutheran faith and tradition are at the centre of our identity, and are part of what makes us unique. You can read more about this in our Strategic Plan: Vision 2025.
