Public Service Loan Forgiveness Updates

submitted by vachta@augsburg.edu

As you may have seen, the past few months have been filled with significant student loan changes that could directly impact your community. Last week, the Supreme Court announced that the Trump administration can proceed with mass layoffs at the Department of Education. In March, President Trump issued an executive order that reshapes organizations’ eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Most recently, the negotiated rulemaking process concluded, which will usher in even more changes to the PSLF program.

Savi is offered to Augsburg employees and their immediate family members as a tool to explore the various PSLF options and navigate enrollment. To better understand these policy changes and implications, Savi is hosting a stakeholder call on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025, to share the following:

– How the Department of Education layoffs affect student loans, including application review and payment counts
– What and when to expect changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program
– What action borrowers should be taking right now

Emergency Medical Help for Both My Parents – Please Help

submitted by garcia10@augsburg.edu

Hi, My name is Beth Garcia I am a 3rd year Biopsychology and Chemistry student. As I was wrapping up my summer research through McNair.

On July 25th—my mom’s birthday—both of my parents were hospitalized. My dad is battling pneumonia, and my mom had to undergo emergency surgery to remove her appendix. She’s also experiencing respiratory issues.
This has been incredibly hard on my family, emotionally and financially. We’ve created a GoFundMe to help with their medical bills and recovery costs.
If you’re able to donate or even just share the link, it would mean the world to me.

Beth Carlson Retirement

submitted by eolson@augsburg.edu

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.

Augsburg is also home to TRIO McNair Scholars.

TRIO SSS, one of eight federal TRIO programs funded under the Higher Education Act of 1965, removes social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. Since its inception in 1968, it has helped millions of low-income, first-generation students graduate, contributing to their communities and the economy.

President Paul Pribbenow and Provost & Senior VP for Academic and Student Affairs, Paula O’Loughlin, have supported the program’s mission. Amanda Burgess and Catherine Maun, Student Financial Services, have also committed to the program and its students.

The grant writing team, including Katy Hahn, John Anderson, Kelsey Richardson Blackwell, Kevin Cheatham, and Tina Tavera, has secured the grant through their hard work and expertise.

All Eyes on Augsburg’s Corpse Flower

The hot, sweaty weather of July has brought a truly extraordinary botanical curiosity out of dormancy. The giant corpse flower, or titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), is famous for producing an enormous, sinister, powerfully malodorous, but thankfully short-lived bloom. At 94 inches tall as of July 14, Augsburg’s very own corpse flower is getting ready to put on its first floral display as soon as this week!

Follow @augsburg_greenhouse on Instagram for updates and information about viewing (and smelling) “Lady Gag-Ugh” in bloom.
