The Writing Center will be open during our regular hours on Wednesday 11/26 but closed on Thursday 11/27. We’ll be open again on Sunday!
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!

It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Charlotte Swanson, our Student Employment Specialist extraordinaire, has decided to embark on a new chapter. Charlotte’s official last day at Augsburg will be Friday December 6.
Charlotte joined Augsburg in January 2020, initially planning to support the Human Resources team for just a few months. Nearly five years later, her dedication, resourcefulness, and kindness have transformed our department and left a lasting mark on the university. From building and streamlining HR and student employment processes to offering compassionate guidance to countless Auggies and their supervisors, Charlotte has been a dependable and encouraging presence for everyone she’s worked with. Her ability to lead with care and enthusiasm (and a great playlist) has enriched the Human Resources team and the entire Augsburg community.
Charlotte’s impact will undoubtedly be felt for years to come, and her presence will be deeply missed. Please join us in celebrating her contributions and wishing her all the best for her next chapter.
We will celebrate Charlotte’s time at Augsburg with a farewell open house on Thursday, December 5, from 1–3 p.m. in the Human Resources office (Memorial 20).

During the June 9, 2020, town hall for faculty and staff, President Pribbenow announced seven new equity initiatives born out of response to the murder of George Floyd and Augsburg’s renewed commitment to accelerate and expand upon our university’s efforts to promote equity and inclusion during a national moment of racial and social justice reawakening. One of these initiatives was the requirement of Augsburg faculty and staff to complete an annual anti-racism training.
