About the Wagner Guild
The Guild has a remarkable 100+ year history. It was founded in 1918 to assist and support Wagner students, who at that time were Lutheran seminarians. Women from nearby Lutheran synods would provide meals, sew buttons and offer other services to the students. Today, the Guild has over 200 members and supports the college with scholarships. The luncheon will benefit the Make a Difference Fund, a fund that provides emergency financial aid to students in need.
