submitted by tetzlafa@augsburg.edu

Applying to graduate school this fall or fall 2019? Most masters and doctoral programs, as well as some health professional schools, require the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) for admission.

Celebrate 2018 Graduates with the Tassel Challenge

submitted by bogen@augsburg.edu

Today Wednesday, April 25th, Augsburg is kicking off our Tassel Challenge fundraising event. This online giving event is an opportunity to celebrate all of Augsburg’s 2018 graduates, and help support future Auggies by donating to the Sesquicentennial Scholarship fund.

A donor has generously offered to match any donation dollar for dollar, up to $10,000. Our goal is to fully utilize that matching gift and raise $10,000 for student scholarships!

The Tassel Challenge is a great way to recognize your favorite graduating Auggie. If you choose to donate in honor of a student, we will make sure they know they were recognized, and send you and the student an Augsburg tassel keychain.

The Tassel Challenge will run through May 2nd. If you have any questions please contact bogen@augsburg.edu.

Test-Optional Admissions Pilot

submitted by gorr@augsburg.edu

In the April 11 faculty meeting, the Augsburg faculty approved a test-optional admissions pilot recommended by the University Council Enrollment Committee and endorsed by the Faculty Senate. The four-year pilot program would make test score (ACT/SAT) submissions optional (except in specific circumstances) for traditional undergraduate first-year and transfer applications beginning in fall 2019.

More than 1,000 higher ed institutions across the U.S. have already adopted a test-optional approach. In Minnesota, the most notable example is Gustavus Adolphus College, which adopted a test-optional admission process more than a decade ago.

In addition to increasing Augsburg’s pool of completed applicants each year, a test-optional admissions policy aligns with Augsburg’s mission of intentional diversity. For a number of student populations, standardized test scores may not provide an accurate indication of academic ability — including, for example, people without access to test preparation courses, people with learning and physical differences, and English language learners.

The Admissions team will continue to counsel the majority of applicants to submit their ACT/SAT results. For all applicants, Augsburg will continue to consider high school GPA (grade point average) and practice a holistic admissions approach to assessing fit and preparedness. Applicants choosing not submit a test score as part of the admission assessment may submit it post-admission for proper placement into writing and math courses. Current alternative math and writing assessments will continue to be available.

For additional information about the test-optional process, see the first-year admissions website.

Lindell Library Digitizes “One Day in May,” 1968

submitted by vanclev1@augsburg.edu

Almost fifty years ago, following the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Augsburg canceled class on May 15, 1968 for a day of listening and discussion that focused on racism in Minneapolis and beyond. Leaders from Minnesota’s black community delivered speeches about how racism intersected with economics, education, police brutality, politics, residential segregation, sex, and more.

The Augsburg audiovisual department recorded each session, and thirteen of the original recordings have been digitized by Lindell Library’s Digitization Lab to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU). PASU began as a consequence of the discussions that took place on “One Day in May” and will be celebrating its 50th anniversary later this week.

For more information about the Digitization Lab or Augsburg’s digital archives, please contact Stewart Van Cleve, vanclev1@augsburg.edu.
