PASS Family Orientation- Saturday, July 29th from 10:00 AM-Noon at Hagfors Room 150

The PASS Family Orientation is an opportunity for incoming students and
current students who are not familiar with Pan-Asian Student Services to
learn more about us and meet current student leaders. We strive
to build a welcoming environment focused on mentoring and support of
historically underrepresented student populations. The aim is to have an
opportunity for students and their families to be fully engaged in the collegiate experience. For more information contact Paul Vang, PASS Program Manager, at 612-330-1530 or vangpa@augsburg.edu

Her last day at Augsburg will be Friday July 28th. Please join us to wish her well and to recognize the great work Sophia has done at Augsburg!

Sophia has been with Augsburg since 2020 and has made countless behind-the-scenes improvements to our payroll processes and benefits administration. Through her role as Payroll and Benefits Manager Sophia has interacted with nearly every employee on campus to provide support on accessing benefits, leaves of absence, and payroll questions with compassion and wisdom. She has provided leadership on audits and compliance requirements with outstanding diligence and attention to detail. Sophia has been a valued collaborator on the Human Resources team – she is smart, dependable, approachable, and a true professional. We wish Sophia well in her future endeavors, – she will certainly be missed!
