It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Charlotte Swanson, our Student Employment Specialist extraordinaire, has decided to embark on a new chapter. Charlotte’s official last day at Augsburg will be Friday December 6.
Charlotte joined Augsburg in January 2020, initially planning to support the Human Resources team for just a few months. Nearly five years later, her dedication, resourcefulness, and kindness have transformed our department and left a lasting mark on the university. From building and streamlining HR and student employment processes to offering compassionate guidance to countless Auggies and their supervisors, Charlotte has been a dependable and encouraging presence for everyone she’s worked with. Her ability to lead with care and enthusiasm (and a great playlist) has enriched the Human Resources team and the entire Augsburg community.
Charlotte’s impact will undoubtedly be felt for years to come, and her presence will be deeply missed. Please join us in celebrating her contributions and wishing her all the best for her next chapter.
We will celebrate Charlotte’s time at Augsburg with a farewell open house on Thursday, December 5, from 1–3 p.m. in the Human Resources office (Memorial 20).

2025 Open Enrollment: November 11 – November 24, 2024
Open Enrollment is the only time of year when you may elect or change your benefits for the coming year, unless you experience a qualifying life event.
During open enrollment, no action means no coverage.
Employees who fail to act by November 24 will not have coverage effective January 1, 2025, and must wait until the next open enrollment period to elect coverage, unless a qualifying life event occurs.
Access the 2025 Enrollment Form: Inside Augsburg > Administrative Tasks > Open Enrollment
Every benefits-eligible employee must act by electing or declining health, dental or vision insurance coverages and a flexible spending or health savings account.
Your 2024 elections WILL NOT automatically carry over to 2025
Benefits-eligible employees are required to complete the online enrollment form for the 2025 elections even if you elect to waive your 2025 coverage.

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. Participating in debate helps Twin Cities students gain crucial academic skills like argumentation, public speaking, and critical thinking.
We are seeking volunteers to serve as debate judges for our Saturday MSHSL debate tournament. The topic of the debate is the implications of AI and intellectual property rights.
No previous debate experience is required! We’ll train you. Volunteers listen to students debate, weigh the arguments, pick a winner, and provide constructive written and verbal feedback to help students improve.
The tournament will take place in Blegen Hall at the University of Minnesota West Bank (right across the street from Augsburg University.) The volunteer shift will last from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Judges will be provided a meal (Boca Chica) for participating. Plus, every hour you spend with us puts you in consideration for the MNUDL Volunteer of the Year Award!
Thanks to funding from the AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund, we can provide Uber rides to individuals who need transportation to the tournament site. Let Johan at udlvolunteers@augsburg.edu know if you need assistance.

Please join us in Lindell 216 for a farewell open house on Tuesday, November 19 at 3:00. p.m. Lauren has contributed so much to Augsburg by coordinating our accommodated testing, helping students find technology to assist them in their work, and consulting with faculty to make their course materials accessible.

This year’s student-directed play “Tian” starts auditions today through tomorrow. Whether you are already experienced on stage, or want to dive into a new adventure – we are so excited to meet you. All necessary information, including our Instagram and the sign-up sheet, can be found here: https://linktr.ee/tianplay
Play Description: Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece Tian centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

Call for Plastic Bags!
Hey Augsburg University community!
As part of The Great Northern Festival this coming winter, a faculty from the Art & Design Department is creating an installation piece to raise sustainability awareness.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We’re collecting clean plastic bags (no need to wash them, but no food residue) for this installation. If you have any plastic bags you’d like to donate, please drop them off in collection boxes: Christensen (outside of the Gallery) by November 15th or on the main floor of Old Main.
Let’s come together to support this creative initiative and make a positive impact!
Thank you for your contributions!

During the June 9, 2020, town hall for faculty and staff, President Pribbenow announced seven new equity initiatives born out of response to the murder of George Floyd and Augsburg’s renewed commitment to accelerate and expand upon our university’s efforts to promote equity and inclusion during a national moment of racial and social justice reawakening. One of these initiatives was the requirement of Augsburg faculty and staff to complete the University’s Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program and stay in good-standing every year following completion.
