– Describe your role at Augsburg. What do you find meaningful and positive in the work you do?
My role at Augsburg is to be a good team member on Jeff Swenson’s athletic department team. Jeff lays out the initiatives and the game plan and I do my best to follow the plan. My heart is to help the student athletes get better in the classroom and on the golf course and enjoy their experience at Augsburg!
– What is your favorite place in the neighborhood?
My favorite places in the neighborhood are the Athletics facilities, the Library and Einsteins.
Mike Fetting, Student Affairs Administrative Assistant
– How many years have you worked at Augsburg?
I have worked at Augsburg for four years as a staff member, also worked here as a student 2010-2014.
– Where is your office located?
Memorial 118 Suite (Academic/Student Affairs)
– Describe your role at Augsburg. What do you find meaningful and positive in the work you do?
Primarily I help support the day to day work of the Vice President for Student Affairs (Ann Garvey) and the Dean of Students (Sarah Griesse) although I get to work with many different departments in our division. I get to be sort of a utility player and really experience a wide breadth of the great work folks are doing here and learn from them. I find it very inspiring to see how many different roles our staff and faculty play in the lives and the success of students at Augsburg. I know so many who go above and beyond for the students they work with and I don’t think that’s present at every college and university.
– What is your favorite place in the neighborhood?
Code Blu on Franklin Ave, best coffee around.
