Augsburg celebrates first–generation students, faculty and staff this week. 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.

However, if there are no elections to your Flexible Spending Accounts (healthcare, limited purpose, or dependent care) or Health Savings Account, your elections will be zero for the 2026 benefit year.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. Have you made a plan to vote? Here in Minneapolis, voters will choose the mayor, city council members, and parks board representatives.
There are no classes at Augsburg on Election Day. It’s a holiday for faculty and staff in order to make it easier for our community to vote, volunteer, and take part in the democratic process.
Students: If you live on campus, your polling place is in the Marshall Room, Christensen Center. If you did not already register to vote, your student ID will work as proof of residence if you are voting on campus OR in the city of Minneapolis, because Augsburg provided a list of students who live on campus or in Minneapolis to the county elections office.
If you have questions about voting or need help, you can call or text the Minnesota Secretary of State call center from 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
CALL: 1-877-600-VOTE (8683)
TEXT: 651-217-3862
For more information, visit the Secretary of State’s website.

In recognition of First-Generation College Celebration Day (Nov. 8), Augsburg will be hosting events that highlight the first-generation college experience during the week of November 3. These events will be geared to students, but all of the university community is welcome to attend. More information will be provided in the upcoming weeks.
In addition to this programming, we’re asking faculty and staff to complete this brief First-Generation Augsburg Community Survey. The information collected will be used to create ongoing resources and support for first-generation students here at Augsburg. Please provide as much information as you’re comfortable sharing. NOTE: This is the same survey we released previous years, so if you already submitted a response, no need to do so again!
If you have any questions or comments about this survey or about the Augsburg First-Generation project, please contact Vern Klobassa, Batalden Assistant Dean of Student Success and Belonging, klobassa@augsburg.edu.
