Augsburg University Campus Ministry invites you to join us on Tuesday, March 22, at 10:00 am as Augsburg University welcomes Pastors Ingrid Rasmussen and Angela Khabeb for the sixth annual Fosdick Lecture in Preaching.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, located just off of Lake Street in the 3rd Precinct, found itself at the heart of the explosive response to the brutal killing of George Floyd and the centuries of trauma that preceded his death. During the months that followed the uprising, the church responded by distributing donated food, diapers, toiletries, plywood for boarding up broken windows, cleaning supplies, and tools to the community. This remained a primary part of Holy Trinity’s work throughout the summer and fall of 2020. Pastors Rasmussen and Khabeb will share their insights on preaching during this time of crisis and reflect on how these experiences continue to shape their understanding of theology and ministry.

Come, join the conversation!

10:00 am Welcome, Lecture and Q&A

Auggie Connect on Zoom

Did you know labor unions are associated with higher productivity, lower employee turnover, improved workplace communication, and a better-trained workforce?!

Did you know there are THREE unions on campus at Augsburg? The facilities and custodial staff have a union, the adjunct faculty have a union, and the support staff have a union, too!

The Augsburg Staff Union was voted in in January 2020, and we’re in the midst of negotiating our first contract. Come meet some of the Augsburg Staff Union–you’ll see some familiar faces. We’re your librarians, advisors, coaches, and more.

Join members of the Augsburg Staff Union in the lobby of the Christensen Center to meet with us on the following dates/times:

2/28/22 + 3/2/22 from 12-1pm and 3/4/22 from 10:30am-1pm

Undergraduate students from 12 Minnesota private colleges, including Augsburg, will present their research VIRTUALLY at the annual Scholars Showcase event, happening tomorrow, Tuesday, February 21, 11:00am to 1:00pm.

With disciplines ranging from philosophy to history and chemistry to economics, the breadth of the subject matter presented here represents the wide range of student learning that occurs every day at Minnesota Private Colleges.

The Showcase will feature six concurrent, proctored sessions at any one time. Students will present on their research projects and be eager for your questions. (Each presentation will be offered twice, consecutively.)

Fellow students, faculty, legislators, and members of the public are all welcome to attend!
