UMACS is grateful to Luther College for hosting the conference!

We are nationally recognized for our unique, engaging Paideia program and ongoing commitment to sustainability—as well as our impressive roster of Rhodes and Fulbright scholars. Our curriculum, experiential approach to learning and welcoming community inspire students to learn actively, live purposefully and lead courageously for a lifetime of impact. We hope you will take time to explore Decorah and the surrounding area. See below for suggestions from Luther College students for things to do!
