Director’s Corner You probably know my signature but not my face.

I’m Professor Ron Brutlag, director of admissions, and I’ve been signing letters to high school seniors, or “rising freshmen,” for many years. I’ll be retiring at the end of the 2010-2011 school year, and I will greatly miss my ministry here at MLC. As a last hurrah, I’d like to share a checklist with you seniors. Whether you’re planning on MLC or another college—or you aren’t sure yet what you’re going to do—this checklist will keep you on track.

• Keep on keeping on: It’s no time to coast! Keep your grades up. Keep busy with clubs and teams. And run for office—it’ll look good on your college app!

• Chat with admissions counselors when they’re at your high school.

(Wondering about MLC’s visit? Check your guidance office. Or just email us!)

• Take your ACT or SAT: Take it early in case you’ll want to retake it later.

The next test dates are October 23 (register by September 17) and December 11 (register by November 5). MLC gives merit awards to students with ACT scores of 27 and above.

• Apply to your favorite schools: Can you get your list down to two or three? Fill out their application forms and send them in.

• Request recommendation letters from teachers, guidance counselors, coaches, or employers. Provide the forms, special instructions, and stamped, addressed envelopes. Write them thank-you notes afterwards.

• Complete your FAFSA: File your income tax ASAP after January 1. Mom and Dad should too. Then complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at fafsa.ed.gov. MLC’s code is 002361.

• Send in MLC’s Financial Aid Application by April 15 to qualify for MLC merit awards for next fall.

• Apply for scholarships—as many as you can. You might be surprised what you’re eligible for! Remember to report any private scholarships and grants to the college you attend.

• Get transcripts to college(s): Ask your guidance counselor to send your transcripts to the college(s) of your choice after first and second semester.

• Compare financial aid packages: You’ll be receiving acceptance letters and financial aid packages from the colleges you’ve applied to. Read carefully! One college might have higher tuition but offer much more aid, resulting in less expense to you.

• Pick the winner: Choose a school!

On our cover: The dorm staff met the first-years with funky T-shirts and a great big welcome.

2

• Meet your deadlines: Don’t be late. Send in your tuition deposit. Sign and return the financial aid award letters, your housing and food plan choices, course selections, and more!

This is an exciting time. Make the most of your last days of high school while looking ahead to the next phase of life.

Introducing

Nick Schmoller Your New Admissions Counselor “If there was one thing I was sure about when I went into high school, it was that I didn’t want to be a called worker.”

Those are the words of MLC’s newest recruiter, Pastor Nick Schmoller. Far from a shortcoming though, Nick’s early reluctance may help make him an excellent admissions counselor! He’ll understand your doubts and questions, because he had them as well.

Nick was born in San Francisco and raised in Watertown, Wisconsin, where he went to Trinity-St. Luke (“home of the Tigers”) and then Luther Prep. On the coed soccer team freshman year at Prep, he met Katherine Valleskey. He’d marry that girl one day, but all he knew at the time was that she started on the team and he didn’t. “It was a good way for me to be humble,” he says.

By sophomore year at Prep, Nick was busy with French horn and soccer—and he made a decision: he wanted to be a pastor. “The event that sealed the deal,” he says, “was Taste of Ministry, when I followed a pastor around for a few days. I saw the variety of his days, how no day was like the last, and the blessings unique to ministry that he and his family enjoyed. I realized this was something I really wanted to do.”

Nick says the highlights of his four years at MLC were friends, a successful soccer team (his nickname, btw, was Schmo-Go), and being one of the male cheerleaders.

At seminary he continued his training. “Vicar year showed me how really great being a pastor was going to be. The

The parents know: My college decision process was a big struggle. I can be a very indecisive person sometimes. However, after visiting MLC with my family, my parents left with smiles on their faces, confident that I would pick MLC in the end.

They know me too well.

Cool worship: Compline is one of the coolest worship opportunities MLC has to offer. When the week ahead seems so stressful, taking a study break for Compline on Monday nights helps me start out my busy week with peace of mind.

Making friends: EASY! You just need to put yourself out there and get involved. I met so many awesome people my first year at MLC. I love MLC and I feel as though it’s my home.

God willing: My dream is to be a high school biology teacher. God’s creation amazes me whenever I learn about it, and I want to inspire that same feeling of awe in my students someday.

Nick Schmoller and Katherine Valleskey married in 2007. Little Mia (not pictured) was born in 2009. They still battle in tennis and soccer although sometimes, Nick says, “we get a little too competitive for our own good.”

best experiences were with Bible information classes for adults. Some had never gone to church. Some had gone to church for years but never understood the gospel. And some rejected this ‘Bible nonsense’ as long as they could, until the Holy Spirit changed their hearts. I got to watch the Holy Spirit work firsthand. How awesome is that.”

And that’s where you come in. “I want to share my ministry experiences, experiences that changed my life and changed the lives of others through the grace of God. I know that deciding what to do after high school is a tough decision. My goal is to show students the blessings that are truly unique to the public ministry—and then assure them that no matter what they decide, God will bless their decision and use them to benefit his kingdom.”

Shanna 4 (St. Croix LHS) Padfield

in their own words

Her first day: To be honest, I was scared stiff to start college, but after going to classes my first day I knew that the teachers were not the super-strict type I expected and that the other students were very friendly.

A declaration of independence: College helps students mature into adults by forcing independence. Not only do you have to learn how to keep tabs on your schoolwork, but you also have to establish a routine that will balance all the many things you must do.

Her future: I would like to serve in an early childhood setting. However, I have no idea what future plans the Lord has for me. My boyfriend was called to an Apache reservation in Arizona—the last place I would’ve ever guessed! It’s best to have an open mind and follow the plans the Lord has for us.

If you’re not sure about MLC . . . because everybody else in your family has gone there, try to view yourself as an individual and see if you can honestly imagine yourself on one of the career paths MLC offers.

WELCOME, FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS Austin City Limits: I was ecstatic about my acceptance in the Plan II Honors Program at the University of Texas @ Austin. The program featured a curriculum that ranged from the Greek Classics to String Theory. But I felt an inability to truly lead a life centered on Christ there. I finally came to Martin Luther College to fill a spiritual void.

Summer 2010: This summer I worked with seven other college students in the Jesus Cares Ministry. We traveled over 10,000 miles, championing the efforts of congregations interested in serving people with developmental disabilities by acting out Bible skits, singing, canvassing, eating, and worshiping together.

I cannot emphasize enough how edifying it was for my faith.

Maybe someday: I’m considering teaching in Southeast Asia after I graduate.

Over the next 25 to 50 years, there will undoubtedly be a reOrientation (pun intended) of the world. As Southeast Asia awakes to the world, we need to be at the frontlines educating them about God’s Word.

Introducing

Student Admissions Ambassadors Six MLC students will be filling an important new role in the admissions office this year. Caleb Schmiege (Lakeside LHS), Sarah Krajewski (Luther High), Ben Schone (Minnesota Valley LHS), Katelyn Hauf (Manitowoc LHS), Jacob Steinmetz (Great Plains LHS), and Malissa Smatlak (Kettle Moraine LHS) are the new Student Admissions Ambassadors. Why these six? Admissions Counselor Lori Unke notes their servant mindsets, outgoing personalities, and continued connections with their high schools.

These ambassadors will assist the admissions department primarily with on-campus recruitment, especially Focus on Ministry weekends. Their training will begin the first week of school. So watch for them—and maybe in a couple years, we’ll be asking you to be a Student Admissions Ambassador.

in their own words

They call it time management: It’s a constant struggle. Whether you are in an extracurricular activity or a part-time job, you realize you no longer have parents policing you and you must make these choices for yourself.

Chapel matters: I appreciate the maturity and respect students give to the chapel services. At MLC there undoubtedly is an environment that persuades you to make your relationship with God a higher priority.

The profs have been there: Professors at MLC are willing to tell students of their journey throughout their career, and this transparency makes them an easy source for advice and inquiry.

He likes these people: They aren’t complete bookworms or without personality. They’re normal just like back at home. There are students from each demographic, which allows you to find your own niche.

Daylight I nternational and the Thalassa Prize If you attend MLC, you’ll have the chance to serve overseas! Through MLC’s Daylight International, about 50 students and grads are serving around the world right now. Some of them submitted photos and essays for our fourth annual Thalassa contest. The $1000 grand prize winner was Gretchen Schmiege ’07. Paul Kelm ’86 was one of the runners-up. Remember, the world is waiting . . . and MLC can take you there!

“A Look through the Door”

“Lights Shining Brightly”

A time-lapse video of skyscrapers stacking higher and higher like steel Legos. Rushing crowds of black hair and beeping cell phones. Tea shops and fans. A red flag with five golden stars. One foot edging tentatively forward and one foot facing directly backward.

Southeast Asia is a place of wild contradictions . . . No one knows what will happen in this country’s future.

No one, that is, except the Director of human history.

While we blundering humans look through the open door with bright eyes and cautiously glance over our shoulder, the Director holds that door open, for now. . . .

. . . Parents, friends, and neighbors crammed into the school’s small chapel to hear their little ones sing and recite Bible passages and songs in Czech and in English. Near the end of the service the lights were dimmed and candles were lit as students sang “Ticha Noc” (“Silent Night”). . . .

By Gretchen Schmiege ’07 — Southeast Asia

Gretchen Schmiege taught English as a foreign language to middle school students in Southeast Asia, from February 2008 to June 2009.

Dorm life: It’s like spending the night at your friends’ house 24/7. My class at Prep had a bunch of great guys, and once we got to MLC we just added more great guys to the group. The friendships you make here will last a lifetime.

Don’t mess with . . . Texas is a wonderful place, and you miss it a lot when you’re freezing in two feet of snow, but it made coming home that much better.

The new chapel: It’s amazing. Having chapel in the Chapel of the Christ twice a day has kept my faith strong. Singing hymns with everyone is the best.

Es verdad: Spanish is tough, but I learned more in my one year of college than I did in my three years in high school. It would be really cool if I could use that Spanish to be a missionary somewhere in South America. Greek is okay too. One day we had an entire Greek class in a batman voice with Professor Schmidt. It was awesome.

in their own words

Fox Valley LHS NWC 1982

Her decision: Senior year had rolled around and I still had no idea where I was going. My guidance counselor knew MLC was on my list and told me to give it a shot for a year. If I wasn’t supposed to be there, she said, I would know. I’m starting my junior year, and I know this is where I’m supposed to be. I love MLC. Cafeteria cravings: Having ice cream available all the time is very tempting.

I’m down to only a couple bowls a week.

It was a cold and stormy night: A friend and I had a bad case of cabin fever one winter night, so we bundled up and went around to the parks in town. We trudged through snow up to our knees to play on the abandoned jungle gyms. It was cold, but we had fun!

Her spiritual muscles: It’s hard to articulate how my faith has grown here.

I can only say that it has—a lot. I always look forward to returning to campus and being in this faith-filled place. It’s priceless.

What a privilege! The chapel is absolutely gorgeous! I remember tearing up during the dedication service because of how overwhelmingly beautiful the singing sounded. It was like a taste of heaven. I love that I have the privilege of worshiping there every day with fellow Christians.

She had her doubts: Early Field Experience helped me with my doubts about being a teacher. It’s a good way to see what you’re getting into. I loved it!

Lost and found: My freshman year I thought that I was going to get lost, but that wasn’t the case at all. And making friends is not hard either. Whether it’s during biology lab, lunch in the cafeteria, or in the dorms, there’s always someone to talk to.

Her advice: If MLC is on your mind, give it a shot. You’re not the only one who isn’t sure. You may find out that teaching or preaching is exactly what you want to do in life.

What’s Chapel Like?

See for yourself! Morning chapel services are live-streamed at 10:45 am, and they’re archived so you can watch whenever you want.

Grow in your faith as MLC profs share the gospel. Sing and pray along with the MLC family. Listen to the MLC choirs and instrumentalists.

Jesus said, “Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” At MLC, it’s more like 700 coming together—and through technology, that number grows even more. Join us! Go to mlc-wels.edu and then click on “MLC TV” on the top bar.

English and Evangelism South of the Border In July 2010, MLC graduate Ryan Kolander and senior Tim Patoka alit in Leon, Mexico, to begin a year of teaching English and doing evangelism. With the support of WELS Kingdom Workers, Ryan and Tim will be working closely with Missionary Mike Hartman and his wife, Rachel Hartman. They’re replacing two other MLC preseminary students, Andrew Gerlach and Derek Bartelt.

Decisions, Decisions How many times should I hit the snooze?

How hot should I make the shower?

How much coffee should I make?

These are the decisions I face daily between 8 and 9 in the morning (save for Saturdays, when the same choices are postponed until 12 to 1 pm). The answers are usually the same: too many, too hot, and too much. Morning is not a particularly stressful part of my day.

Later in the day, a new set of choices presents itself.

Should I watch Scrubs or Friends?

Should I call Paige or Skype her?

Should I eat crackers or cereal?

Still, not all too stressful. But somewhere in the midst of all these instant, microwavable choices are the ones simmering in the crock-pot, cooking low and slow: How can I pay my tuition?

How should I get to school next semester?

Should I visit my brother or my parents?

And suddenly, I’m neck-deep in choices. It seems like everything is on my shoulders.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. John 15:16 And suddenly, I realize: the important choices are not mine to make. The important choices have already been made.

Paul is spending 2010 in Edna, Texas, where he teaches English as a second language and leads Bible study. He’ll be back at MLC in January 2011 to finish his education degree.
