    Remote Instruction Continues  – Thursday-Friday, Jan. 29-30

    Remote instruction will continue on Thursday and Friday for Hickory and Asheville locations.

    This decision reflects our ongoing priority to support the safety of our community as weather conditions evolve across the region. By making a decision about Friday now, we aim to provide clarity and allow everyone to plan accordingly.

    Important reminders:

    • Faculty: Continue to communicate directly with students regarding course expectations.

    • Staff: Remain in contact with your supervisors regarding work arrangements.

    We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and care for one another as we navigate these conditions together.

    We will continue to monitor the forecast and will communicate any additional updates as needed.

Help Preserve Our Legacy!


Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary is embarking on an exciting project to document its rich history. As we prepare for our 200th anniversary in 2030 and commemorate our move from Columbia to Hickory, we invite you to share your stories.

Your voice matters!


By sharing your experiences as an alumnus/a, faculty member, student, friend or staff, you'll help create a valuable historical record. Your stories will be preserved in an online archive, ensuring that our legacy lives on for generations to come.

How can you help?


  • Share your story: Participate in oral history interviews or submit written reflections.
  • Volunteer your time: Assist with project tasks, such as transcribing interviews or organizing materials.
  • Spread the word: Encourage others to contribute their stories and support the project.

Together, we can preserve our past and shape our future.

This project is in its beginning phases. If you have questions or ideas, please contact Cat Niekro at cat.niekro@lr.edu.
