While we aren't taking sides in the big game today, we're thrilled for Luke Shanno '09, the senior director of corporate communications for the Kansas City Chiefs. He found a minute in the run-up to the Super Bowl to shoot us a quick note and this photo with his parents, Diane and Randy.
"This has been an incredibly memorable year and I feel lucky to have found a career that rarely feels like work. I appreciate the support I have from my family as well as the messages of congratulations I’ve received from my larger Wartburg family over the past few weeks.
"I do my best to keep tabs on what’s going on in the Wartburg community, especially in the athletics world, and it’s fun to know that people are keeping an eye on what’s going on in Kansas City as well. Go Knights and Go Chiefs!”

A Trumpet headline from Feb. 23, 1987: "New twist may be added to housing sign-up."
The twist? Averaging lottery numbers, a suggestion from Andy Roquet, student body president.
And we're still changing — housing for 2023-24 will be done digitally!
There's a secret hiding in one of our halls: a time capsule! This suite in The Residence has a little hidey hole filled with photos of previous residents, and one of our students made a surprising discovery...
