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.

Moody’s Investor Service has revised Augsburg University’s outlook to stable from negative and affirmed the University’s Baa3 credit rating.
Moody’s cited Augsburg’s improved liquidity, effective fiscal oversight, successful fundraising, diverse program offerings, and urban Twin Cities location as strengths supporting its credit opinion. The report also noted that Augsburg continues to operate in a highly competitive student market and has moderately high debt relative to cash and investments.
“This favorable outcome is a great accomplishment, and one we’ve worked hard to achieve,” said Augsburg President Paul C. Pribbenow. “It’s a reflection of Augsburg’s competitive strengths — including our distinct market identity and diverse enrollment — as well as our intentional, sustained efforts driving dramatic improvements in liquidity.”

Yesterday, Associate Professor Mzenga Wanyama and his wife, Mary, had a check-in appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The outcome of the meeting was that ICE has given the Wanyamas 90 days to depart the United States.
Friends and supporters of the Wanyamas, including members of the Augsburg community, Augsburg President Paul Pribbenow, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, attended a rally outside the ICE offices before yesterday’s meeting. Earlier in the week, the offices of U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton reached out to the assistant field office directors in the ICE office requesting that ICE continue to exercise its prosecutorial discretion in allowing Dr. Wanyama to stay in the U.S. to pursue a new J-1 waiver application and a motion to reopen based on changed country conditions in his home country of Kenya.
Following the meeting, Augsburg issued a statement from President Pribbenow. Click the link below to access the statement and additional updates.

Since I was in community college, I’ve been participating in extracurricular activities and clubs like the Latinxs club as President, the LGBTQIA club, intramurals, and Student Government where I had the honor to serve my school as President. Being part of a student government where students come together and have the ability to change and create policy for the benefit of everyone in school and the community around us, has always been a passion and a reason for me to be part of it. What I wish to contribute to the Student Government, if elected, is my experiences, my connections, my knowledge, my struggles and achievements in order for the student body to thrive in our University.
