Where Are They Now?

Where are LSTC alumni now, and what has unfolded in their lives since graduation? This page gathers brief snapshots from alums across decades and callings: where they’re serving, what they’re learning, and the moments that have shaped them along the way. You’ll find reflections on vocation, community, and faith in motion—along with words of wisdom for today’s students. If you’re an LSTC alum and would like to be featured in a future profile, we’d love to hear from you! Reach out to advancement@lstc.edu, and we’ll get started.
