The Augsburg Writing Center offers free writing support, both online and in-person. Skilled Augsburg students will work with you one-on-one at whatever stage of writing you are in – the idea-development stage, the drafting stage, and the revision stage – and can show you how to choose an appropriate essay topic, how to develop a thesis statement and paragraphs, how to revise your essay, or assist with any other writing needs you may have. Tutors will be alert listeners and ask questions, and will not judge or evaluate the work in progress. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to seeing you!

Augsburg has partnered with BetterMynd, an online therapy platform, to offer students access to free teletherapy sessions from a diverse network of licensed mental health counselors.
It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up. Here’s how to get started:
1) Visit http://www.bettermynd.com and click “Register” in the upper right hand corner. Be sure to use your campus email address. Check your email to verify it.
2) You now have a BetterMynd account! Read the terms and conditions. Then fill out a few brief questions about yourself.
3) Take a brief intake survey. This allows BetterMynd to help match you with the best counselors and resources for your specific needs.
4) You now have access to your student dashboard. View counselors and schedule your first session. This is also where you’ll attend your teletherapy sessions.
Note: BetterMynd is a new option for Auggies. Free in-person or virtual counseling services are still available to all students from the Center for Wellness and Counseling! To get started with a counselor in CWC, email cwc@augsburg.edu.

Please join us in Hoversten Chapel today at 11:30 for our next Uncovering Vocation chapel. Paul Vang, Pan-Asian Student Services Program Manager, will share his story. Paul is a first-generation college graduate and is a son to Hmong refugee parents. He graduated from St. Cloud State with a Bachelors of Science in Social Work. Paul is passionate about instilling leadership in young people and impacting systems that bring positive change, this pushed him to obtain his Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Crown College. His professional experience includes nonprofit, public and educational sectors where he served mainly youth and young adults in positions such as Community Social Worker, Program Director, Youth & Family Program Specialist, and District Homeless Liaison. What excites Paul about the Pan-Asian Student Services Program Manager position is the ability to mentor students who reflect his educational and professional journey.
