Luther College's Asha Aden receives the 2020 Jenson medal

Luther College's Asha Aden of Rochester, Minnesota has been awarded the college's Jenson Medal for the class of 2020.

Luther's Jenson Medal is presented annually to a senior who best demonstrates the college's ideals of service to students and the college community.

"As a Luther student, it was important for me to serve my fellow students and college community because we live in such a divided world," says Aden. "I wanted Luther's community to be a beloved community. This can only happen if we are united against hate and work toward equity, justice and liberation for all people...It was difficult to have these kinds of conversations, but it was rewarding experiencing the positive changes in policies and responses among the Luther community."
