We are now taking applications for the 2026-2027 cohort of Christensen Scholars. Apply at the link below by Friday March 27, 2026.
Christensen Scholars spend a year in community exploring questions of faith, identity, and vocation through a Christian theological lens. Students should be open to engaging seriously and openly with these topics, but it is not a requirement that a student be an active member of a faith community. Applicants need only be open to sharing about and listening to a diverse set of perspectives within the Christian tradition.
BENEFITS:
• Develop a deeper understanding of your own vocation in a caring community.
• Create a deeper sense of belonging among your peers.
• Learn new ways to live out your faith on a daily basis within the community.
• Experience a remote mountain retreat center in the middle of winter.
• Receive a small scholarship and a $500.00 stipend to cover expenses.
• All-expenses-paid winter pilgrimage in mid-January.
• 4 upper division Religion credits (can be used toward your major or minor)
NOTE: RLN 100 is a prerequisite for this year-long course. We will gather every other Thursday evening (6pm-8pm), both Fall and Spring semesters. Additionally, the pilgrimage during the end of your winter break in January 2027 is mandatory. Students admitted are expected to have good attendance and participation in the sessions and on the trip in order to earn course credit.
Christensen Scholars program is co-led by Dr. Jeremy Myers (myers@ausburg.edu) from the Christensen Center for Vocation and Rev. John Schwehn (schwehn@augsburg.edu) from Campus Ministry.

Taught by Prof. Ibrahim Hirsi
Course Description
Immigration shaped this country. An estimated 48 million people in the United States identify as Black. Their migrations—forced and voluntary—began in 1619 and continue to the present day. They came from Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and South and Central America. Many are descendants of enslaved people; others have emerged from places like Somalia and Ethiopia and Ghana and Jamaica. This course provides an overview of the journeys and experiences of African Americans and Black migrants and examines their unbroken ties—imagined and real—to the African continent. The course draws from a wide range of interdisciplinary sources, exposing students to major historical themes and significant Black figures. Through lectures, discussions, and thesis-driven writing assignments, students gain a substantive understanding of the African diaspora’s historical formation and develop critical reading and writing skills essential to successful careers.
Prof. Ibrahim Hirsi completed his Ph.D. in Immigration History at the University of Minnesota, after working as a journalist for the Sahan Journal, MinnPost, and Minnesota Public Radio. In addition to English, he speaks Somali, Arabic, and Swahili.
