The 2024 Lutheran Studies Conference, "Where the Waters Begin: Indigenous Education, Tribal Sovereignty, and the Legacy of Cecelia Svinth Carpenter" celebrates the life, work, and commitments of PLU alumna Cecelia Svinth Carpenter, connecting PLU’s past, present, and future with the Nisqually, Puyallup, and other Coast Salish people and tribes. 

Throughout the day, we will celebrate Ms. Carpenter’s legacy in Indigenous education, tribal sovereignty, and cultural revitalization through panels, presentations, guest speakers, and sharing of food, song, and dance.
