MORTENSEN HALL: The new signage on Mortensen Hall is being installed. Last week, the top of the building was repainted. This week, letters were being installed. The crane will be on campus today to remove old letters. If you haven’t looked up from the Quad in the past few days, be sure to do so! The lettering looks fantastic and is just more proof that in only 29 days, we will be Augsburg University!

Additional information about becoming Augsburg University is available on the University Name Change Updates page.
