Writing a personal statement is a standard part of all applications for Fulbright awards, other major grants and fellowships, and graduate school. But finding the right story line and voice is often hard. What exactly is a personal statement? What does it need to do? And what does a good one look like?
If an application is on your horizon, make time to attend a workshop on writing personal statements. This 90-minute session will help you understand what a personal statement is (and is not) and provide examples to guide and inspire.
Thursday, July 9, 12 noon to 1:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)

Email phishing campaigns are never ending and as a way to improve our email security we will be implementing something called Sender Policy Framework email authentication (SPF). It’s a way to digitally sign augsburg.edu emails from trusted sources. This makes phishing campaigns inherently untrusted and will help reduce their effectiveness.
We will implement SPF on July 7, 2026.
That means, if you’re using an external system that sends mail for you using your augsburg.edu address as the “From” it may be flagged as suspicious. Depending on the system you use, IT can authenticate the system if it is a legitimate system.
We have been in contact with the departments who use major systems we’re aware of. But we may not know about all of the ones in use. Contact your LFC to get the ball rolling on verifying your external system.
For departments where we have set up a special sending address, like admissions.augsburg.edu or academicsuccess.augsburg.edu, will be unaffected.
We don’t anticipate problems but we’ll be monitoring for issues. Please contact your LFC if your department uses a cloud service that sends email and you notice delivery issues after we implement SPF.

Please be aware that there is an email scam about a fake opportunity for a research internship using URGO and the Director’s name. This is a SCAM! Please do not fill out anything and report it as spam and phishing. Please note that the Director of URGO would only send these opportunities from the urgo@augsburg.edu web address. The email for the Director is not even the correct Augsburg email, but a fictional gmail account. This has been reported to Augsburg administrators and we have also made an announcement on the URGO Website with a copy of the fake opportunity to warn others.
