Members of the Environmental Stewardship Committee and Campus Cupboard are coming together to create a Campus Share Shop for the students of Augsburg! Our purpose is to create a space where students can check out goods they need, rather than purchasing new items. By doing this, we hope to:
-Reduce the consumption of material goods
-Reduce students’ costs
-Create a community space where students can take part in informal learning around sustainable practices and skill-sharing.
This is a project created by students for students, so we are reaching out to you to find out what you would want to see in the share shop. Please take a few minutes to take a short survey that will aid in creating a share shop that will properly serve the students of Augsburg.

If you’ve got a two-wheeled chariot, we encourage you to join us for our second Coffee Clunker. We’ll be supporting local coffee establishments, while celebrating summer and getting a few extra miles under our belt. Feel free to hop off the route whenever you need to leave.
This is an open ride for any cyclist at any ability level.
When: Friday, July 26 from 4:30 p.m. – ?
Where: We’ll gather in front of the Foss Center, on the grassy area
Why: To be healthier, to create community, to support local businesses, to relieve a bit of stress
Can’t join us? We’d still love you to join our group, track your miles, and keep in touch for future rides — we’re hoping to have one a month over the summer. A link to the route and mileage tracker can be found within the calendar event below, so make sure to add it to your calendar. Feel free to share the event!!
Have questions?
