PRESIDENT’S COUNCIL Luther students are at the center of all 2021 New Life Members we do, and donors at all levels take great †John ’53 and †Jean Bruemmer pride in joyfully sustaining the college’s Barbara Fuller ’72 mission. During these extraordinarily Katherine Johnson-Becklin and †Jay Becklin “ challenging times, with so many Sandra (Neitzel) ’87 and Jonathan Joppa ’85 unknowns, I take heart knowing Luther’s Haldis (Solem) ’81 and †Harris Kaasa ’50 President’s Council members remain Dale and Sunny Nimrod among our most generous, enthusiastic, Britt Sather ’78 and steadfast supporters. I am delighted Mark ’65 and Roxann Steine to welcome the new Life Members who Matthew ’01 and Jaime (Rowe) Titus ’00 attained this philanthropic milestone Estate of Luther Peterson ’61 Roger L. & Agnes C. Dell Charitable Trust in 2020 and celebrate their cumulative EY Foundation generosity to Luther College!” †Deceased —President Jenifer K. Ward A full list of 2021 membership, based on 2020 calendar year giving, is available at luther.edu/ magazine. “We were welcomed to the Luther and Decorah communities in 1967 with offers of opportunities and responsibilities that would become extraordinarily stimulating and satisfying over the years. We choose to give back to Luther because we are grateful, and particularly grateful that all three of our boys could be born and raised in this place, and that each would choose Luther College for his own life- shaping experiences. Mange tusen takk!” —Sunny and Dale Nimrod with their three sons (left to right): Adam Nimrod ’94, Andrew Nimrod ’90, and Jacob Nimrod ’01 NOTE: The President’s Council Life Members lists recognize donors whose CUMULATIVE giving to Luther College has reached $100,000 or more as of December 31, 2020.
