Augsburg will celebrate first–generation students, faculty and staff the week of November 3-8. First-Generation College Celebration Day is celebrated annually on Nov. 8 to commemorate the signing of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Federal TRIO/ programs were created as part of the HEA to promote postsecondary access, retention and completion. The term “first-generation college student” was introduced by the TRIO community in the late 1970’s. A first-generation college student is typically defined as a student whose parents or guardians never earned a four-year bachelor’s degree. The Council for Opportunity in Education (COE), in partnership with NASPA, initiated the national first-generation college celebration.

Augsburg’s celebration will include a series of events from Nov.3-8. All in the Augsburg community are invited to celebrate. During the kick-off in the Christensen Center on Monday, we will have placards and buttons for folks who identify as first-generation and for those who support first-generation students. We also encourage staff and faculty to fill out the First-Generation Augsburg Community Survey: https://forms.gle/zzTmXfK4QQoFDmoE6.

Students will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for Sony Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Headphones. Students will receive one entry for each event they attend, and can enter the drawing by scanning a QR code at the event.

We hope you’ll join the celebration.

Have you ever seen a contrabass flute? It’s like a human-sized paperclip bent into the shape of the number four. Ever heard eleven flutes playing all at the same time? It’s like taking in the full spectrum of visible light, but through your ears.

If your answer to these questions is no, here’s your chance to change that!

The Augsburg music department gleefully invites you to enjoy a performance of music for woodwind instruments. The program will feature the Augsburg University Flute Ensemble and solo performances by students of Joan Hutton and Julie Johnson playing pieces by Claude Bolling, Francis Poulenc, Otar Taktakishvili, Lucien Niverd, Jennifer Higdon, Paul Creston, and more. Maybe you’ve never heard of these composers—that’s okay, you should come anyway!

See you there 🙂

In partnership with Augsburg, the Minnesota Private College Council is asking the state legislature to support college affordability for all students in Minnesota.

If you receive the Minnesota State Grant, we invite you to write a short note to your state legislators to help ensure you and future generations of Auggies continue to receive crucial financial support. Sharing your story with legislators only takes a few minutes, but it makes a lasting impact.

Join us at Augsburg’s Letters to Legislators event tomorrow:

Tuesday, October 14, 2025
10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Christensen Center Lobby

All you have to do is stop by! We’ll take care of the rest, including providing you with writing supplies, a sample note, info about your legislators, and more.
