First Lutheran Student Association of America (LSAA) Council Meeting, Madison, WI, 1923

The Lutheran Student Movement is a pan-Lutheran student led organization active at the local, regional, and national level created to promote the active participation of students in the life and mission of the Lutheran Church on their campuses, in their communities, and as individuals.

The Lutheran Student Association of America (LSAA, formed in 1922) and many students previously involved with Delta Gamma (formed in 1928 and sponsored by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) came together in 1969 to create LSM-USA.

Internationally LSM-USA has been an associated movement of the World Student Christian Federation since 1922. LSM-USA is diverse in its membership and in the styles of organization that make up the movement on campuses around the country. Joined together in faith, those who make up the movement seek to more clearly understand and advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the exploration of social and spiritual concerns.
