Eighteen Lutheran college fairs are planned for fall at locations around the country.
Representatives of the schools — the Synod’s 10 colleges and universities and those of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod — will be at the fairs to share information and answer questions. Most fairs also will have career planning and financial-aid seminars.
Sponsored by the Lutheran Educational Conference of North America (LECNA), the college fairs are primarily for high-school sophomores and juniors, along with their parents. Funding the fairs are LECNA-member schools and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
