Happy 40th Birthday LCWS!

​

SAVE THE DATE​

September 26, 2026​​

​​In the fall of 1986, students from Muhlenberg College came to DC to participate in a new semester program. Within a year, students from Gettysburg and Roanoke enrolled and the Lutheran College Washington Semester was born.  Forty years later, LCWS has had over 3000 students participate from nineteen colleges and universities around the country. This is a milestone worth celebrating!​​
