Concordia University, St. Paul Alumni Association

Today we celebrate CSP's Founders Day. In 1893, Concordia High School was founded to provide a Christian learning environment for young men preparing to enter the professional ministries of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Since then, we've remained true to our roots while expanding to serve more people for thoughtful and informed living.

Students were welcome to get ice cream and learn about CSP's history on Wednesday, September 11. We are honored to teach our current students about the decades of history at CSP.

Join us to learn "Strategies for Leading Through Inevitable Setbacks". You will walk away with a framework to guide decision-making, set boundaries, prioritize your focus areas, and get clarity on your next move.

Let’s face it: Everyone has anxiety. Furthermore, our ongoing quest to rid ourselves of this ubiquitous human emotion worsens it. What if, instead of fighting our anxiety, we could turn it into a strength?
