The Lutheran Campus Center is the ELCA Campus Ministry located on the UW-Madison campus. It is our mission to contact Lutheran students and give them information about the Lutheran Campus Ministry at the university they are planning on attending in the fall.
Unfortunately, most universities have become unwilling to provide religiously affiliated organizations with student contact information. Because of this, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get in touch with incoming Lutheran students. Therefore, each year we send an appeal to Wisconsin congregations asking for the names of students who will be graduating high school in the Spring and entering college in the Fall. With your help, we hope to better reach out to new university students and help them find a home within Campus Ministry.
If there are any students in your congregation that are planning on going to any college next year, we would greatly appreciate their names, home addresses, and the schools they will be attending, plus any other contact information you may have. It is especially important that we know which university each student will be attending so we may either contact them ourselves, or forward their information to the Campus Ministry in their universities’ area.
We understand that you may not have this information available to you at this time, have no graduates, or won’t know about your high school seniors’ plans until a later date. If this is the case, please let us know, and then send us the information as soon as it becomes available to you. If your church’s policy does not permit giving information to third parties, please tell us that in order to prevent future messages. In this event, we ask that you inform your students about Campus Ministry. If you have any questions about the services we offer to students, please view our web site at www.lccmadison.com, e-mail us at lccoffice@tds.net,
or call us at 608/257-7178.
Thank you very much and God bless!
