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.

Dear Augsburg Community,

I am writing to share the sad news that our dear friend Gladys Boxrud Strommen ’46 passed away peacefully Monday night with family by her side.

Gladys and her husband, Clair ‘46, who passed away in 2001, served and supported Augsburg in significant ways throughout the years.

Through a generous gift, the family established the Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work in recognition of their personal commitment to creating meaning and purpose in work and life.

They commissioned the Burning Bush sculpture in front of the Christensen Center and have two endowed funds: a scholarship fund and a program fund for the Strommen Center. Both Gladys and Clair served on the Augsburg Board of Regents and hosted many alumni gatherings at their homes in Minnesota and Florida. We will post the obituary and information about the memorial service, when it’s available.

Her loss is a big one, but her legacy will continue to be felt by generations of Auggies to come.

Paul C. Pribbenow
