SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2023. United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities today debuted its newly redesigned, reimagined, and reinvigorated website, modernized to better serve our mission and our communities.

On the revised site, prospective students, current students, alums and other community members will find:

  • A sitewide menu with organized, tiered information
  • Landing pages for each of United’s five degrees
  • One standardized admissions interest form for degree and admissions pages
  • United’s Four Pillars on a page that explains our values and our corresponding degree programs

Our responsive design offers prospective applicants, current students, alums, and our wider community a more enjoyable experience. A new sitewide menu and interactive sidebars allow for greater contextualization, serving our communities’ varied needs with organized content.

Most importantly, our mission—our core values—are reflected clearly throughout our new site. Updated imagery and graphic elements frame the rich, ongoing story and legacy of United’s work in the world. 

United President Molly T. Marshall reflects:

A website provides a window to the world, a portal through which one learns of the unique identity of a school and discerns whether it provides what one is seeking. United’s new website invites those who love theological education or are simply curious about its formative work to take a closer look. We hope to meet you there soon.

We invite you to take time to get acquainted with our redesigned site, and hope that United’s artistic, diverse, and hopeful spirit shines through.

Lauren Busey (’07) Ministers to a New Beloved Community at Pickledilly Skokie

  Lauren Busey (’07) grew up in the Lutheran church,  earned an undergraduate degree from Luther College, and thought she would probably attend a Lutheran seminary. Then, at a Luther College women’s retreat, Rev. Dr. Christie Cozad Nueger (’80)— Professor Emerita of Pastoral Counseling and Pastoral Theology (1992–2005)—was the featured speaker and knew Lauren’s campus pastor. “So,” Lauren remembers, “we just kind of got to talking, and within a couple of weeks, I was enrolled at United.”  United “was a good fit,” Lauren asserts. She found a welcoming community of fellow students and treasured professors. Those who had the greatest impact include Rev. Dr. Jann Cather Weaver (Associate Professor Emerita of Worship, and Theology and the Arts, 2001–2012), Dr. Marilyn Salmon† (Professor Emerita of New Testament Theology, 1989–2014), and Dr. Carolyn Pressler (Professor Emerita of Biblical Interpretation, 1990–2020).  (more…)

Images of Hope: Advent in Art

Art has the tremendous power to restore us in a time when our world seems to make no sense and we need a moment of respite and encouragement from our daily struggles. A single photograph of a flower or a laughing child can buoy our spirit to carry on. (more…)

Alex Sánchez Rodriguez Finds Vocational Inspiration at United

  Alex Sánchez Rodriguez, who plans to graduate from United in 2026 with an MA in Religion and Theology, was initially drawn to the seminary’s Interreligious Chaplaincy program. Since taking more classes, engaging with his professors, becoming involved in the Student Leadership Collective, and taking on other extracurricular activities, he has settled on a new calling. “I discovered,” Alex shares, “that I have a natural affinity toward academics.” In fact, he admits, “I want to be like my professors.” Before coming to United, Alex was a substitute teacher in Puerto Rico. Since he moved to Minnesota, he has been working in student development and promoting student success. The priority of student success is the throughline, Alex perceives, from his current role and an academic career. “If I am to go into academia,” he explains, “part of my success as a teacher, professor, and researcher depends on the success of my future students.”  (more…)
