Today we recognized our custodians' hard work and dedication to this campus at our first ever Custodian Appreciation event. Thank you for making Augsburg University a better place!
Augsburg’s supply drive was a success! Thank you to all who donated and volunteered to help out our so loved Cedar-Riverside community. It is in times like these where we must all come together as the thoughtful stewards that we are.

The Augsburg community is grieving the loss of our beloved Campus Pastor Emeritus Dave Wold. He touched thousands of lives with his ministry, humor, and passion for music and athletics. He will be missed by Auggies around the world.
Very sweet seeing Auggies and community members come together to support our beloved professor. Despite the situation, Dr. Mzenga Wanyama kept a smile on his face.
