After more than 25 years of dedicated service, we announce the retirement of Beth Carlson, Licensed Psychologist at Augsburg University’s Center for Wellness and Counseling (CWC). Beth’s last day with Augsburg will be July 24th and will mark the end of an era filled with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support for our student body and campus community.
Throughout her tenure, Beth has profoundly impacted the lives of countless students—helping them navigate personal and academic challenges, persist through adversity, and graduate into successful and meaningful lives. Her clinical insight and her genuine desire to create meaningful connection have made her a trusted resource for students from all walks of life, and her ability to connect them with critical on- and off-campus supports has made a lasting difference in their journeys.
Beth’s commitment extended well beyond her counseling sessions. She has been a generous and insightful mentor to generations of CWC staff, offering guidance shaped by her deep understanding of student wellness, mental health, and the unique challenges faced by diverse populations. Known for her keen attention to detail, thoughtful approach, and unwavering commitment to go above and beyond for all students, Beth exemplifies what it means to lead with heart and purpose. Her legacy at Augsburg is one of care, excellence, and deep impact.Her knowledge of CWC’s history, policies, and best practices is unmatched, and her departure will be felt deeply within the department.
As we prepare to say goodbye, we invite you to share your well wishes with Beth by emailing her at carlson2@augsburg.edu. You are also welcome to reach out to schedule time to connect with her personally before her departure.
Beth, thank you for everything you’ve given to this community. You will be deeply missed, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter.
