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. GRE Prep is offered this summer on campus through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity. You’ll learn the most effective ways tackle the Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing sections on the GRE.
The course meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30-8 p.m. for four and a half weeks (May 14—June 18). The cost is only $125, which includes the official GRE test-prep book and a 6-month subscription to the online study tool, Magoosh; this is a fraction of the cost when compared to similar classroom GRE prep courses offered by Kaplan or the Princeton Review who charge over $1,000.
New this year, students can also earn a full-refund scholarship. Those who attend 9 of the 10 classes (including the final practice test), will receive a full refund for the course.
Students, alum who graduated from Augsburg, and staff are also welcome to register.

The Strommen Center for Meaningful Work held our first annual Employer Recognition Event on Tuesday, April 24th. The event was a huge success and we would like to especially recognize the following award recipients:
Faculty Champions – Tony Clapp, Exercise Science; George Dierberger, Business Administration; Nancy Fisher, Sociology; Stacy Freiheit and Bridget Robinson-Riegler, Psychology department.
Recognizes those faculty members who teach internship seminars/serve as advisors to large numbers of students completing internships for academic credit and otherwise are advocates of the work of the Strommen Center.
Rising Star Recipients – U.S. Bank & Fairview Health Services – IT
These employers have demonstrated increasing engagement with the Strommen Center in multiple ways, including attending our job fair, hosting information sessions, conducting on campus interviews, partnering with us on new initiatives (such as MSP TechHire) and hiring increasing numbers of interns and full-time employees from Augsburg.
Outstanding Employer Partner – Travelers
Recognizes the employer that has made a significant investment of resources in the quest to help our students develop professionally. Through EDGE, Travelers has provided 33 scholars with financial and professional development support.
We also would like to thank Nicolas Adducci ’16, Mubarik Hassan ’18, Dustina Granlund ’14 and Kevin Tran ’18 who each shared reflections on what their internships have meant to them and how their internship has launched their careers.
Congratulations to all of the award recipients!

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.

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.

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.
