Dear Augustana College (Aka University) Alum of 1977! February, 2017 Dear Augustana College (aka University) Alum of 1977! February, 2017 Hello friends! I never seem to have time to write anything when the deadline for publication is due, and here is that time again, but this time, I’m putting together some thoughts fast! Brian and I (class of 1977) have been Augustana Association representatives from Nebraska the last number of years. This is a wonderful day at Augustana the first Friday of December, as we get to see and hear firsthand the current status. We got in a little visit to the Froiland Science Complex (must-see!) and brought some treats to share with Doc and Phyl Krueger that afternoon. We’re so grateful for all those fine professors we had who taught us so very much. It’s most gratifying to be able to spend time with them today and tell them how grateful we are for their hard work and fine teaching! Augie continues to be a wonderful place where such great learning takes place, and we are most proud that such great things are happening. I would encourage each of you to find some time to visit and see for yourself. This fall will be the 40th anniversary celebration of our graduation! There are annual homecoming events to which we’ll be invited. Bob Boyce has created a Facebook Augie Class of 1977 page—40th Year Reunion, Augustana University, Sioux Falls. The main purpose is to determine a time when we can gather and enjoy fellowship together, so please check it out and share your thoughts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1838912949660216/ Meanwhile, here are links to some highlights. Enrollment at Augustana this fall was the highest it has been in 26 years. Our total headcount — including part-time, full-time and graduate students — was 1,937. That number includes students from 34 states and 38 countries. Our Student Success Center reported that 98% of the Class of 2015 grads are employed in their major or chosen field. Grads are working in 20 states and four countries around the world. After winning the NCAA Division II National Championship last March, the Augustana men's basketball team was then invited to play Duke University in an exhibition game in November. Many alumni, parents and fans traveled to Duke to cheer on the Vikings. Last April, members of the Augustana Choir performed with music icon Barry Manilow during a concert in Sioux Falls. During interim, the Choir embarked on a two-week tour, performing and learning in Germany and Italy. The new Froiland Science Complex was dedicated and opened for classes last fall. At 125,000 square feet, the facility represents the largest and most complex building endeavor in Augustana's 156-year history. Last July, Forbes magazine again ranked Augustana among "America's Top Colleges," and in November, CBS News named AU the best college in the state of South Dakota. (But we already knew that!) On Thursday, March 2, we will launch our first ever Augustana Giving Day and invite friends, employees, and especially alumni to join together on this one day to "Give Like a Viking." You will hear much more about it as the day approaches, but please know that during those 24 hours, you will have the opportunity to make an impact that will last for 365 days and potentially even a lifetime. Hope to see you in Sioux Falls Oct. 13-15, 2017. Deb Piehl Lund, Augie Class of 1977 P.S. A note from the alumni office: It’s time to celebrate your class! This fall, you’ll be celebrating a milestone reunion during Viking Days. Mark your calendar to celebrate with us October 13 – 15. While this is a great time to reconnect with classmates and revisit campus, it’s also a great time to give a gift to your alma mater. We invite you to give in thanksgiving for the experiences you had while you were a student and for what you’ve accomplished since graduation. More information will be forthcoming about our Milestone Reunion Year giving program, but you can give at anytime. Visit www.augielink.com/milestone to make your gift today. .

  • CHART A: INFORMATION SOURCE Social Media 10% Faculty Or Staff 6%
    After Augustana: Post-Graduation Career Outcomes Report for the Class of 2019 Billie Streufert | Student Success Center The numbers are in — and they speak for themselves. Augustana’s liberal arts degree prepares graduates for success in a variety of careers. The Student Success Center, in collaboration with the Office of Assessment, presents the following data on undergraduate alumni using standards set by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).1 Data includes the activities within six months of graduation of individuals who completed a baccalaureate degree in the 2018-2019 academic year (Summer 2018, Fall 2018 or Spring 2019). Augustana contacted these alumni via surveys, emails, phone calls, and social media to determine their post-graduation activities. The Success Center continues to gather information graduates self-reported to faculty, academic advisors, or coaches. Respondents select one post- graduation activity category: working full-time, working part-time, further education or study, military service, volunteering full-time (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, mission work), other commitments (e.g., family, moving, travel, etc.), or looking for work. Augustana obtained information on 91% of these graduates, which exceeds the minimum NACE knowledge rate by 26%.2 Sources of information are identified below in Chart A. CHART A: INFORMATION SOURCE Social Media 10% Faculty or Staff 6% Survey 57% SSC Outreach 27% Outcomes Summary Data from the Class of 2019 once again demonstrates Augustana’s ability to offer an education of enduring worth. Of the respondents who provided information, 99% were employed (part-time or full-time) in their major or chosen field and 98% achieved a positive career outcome (e.g., continuing their education, working, serving in the military, or volunteering).3 Each graduate was only counted once in this aggregate statistic.

  • Annual Report 2017 Dialogue in Divided Societies
    Annual Report 2017 Dialogue in Divided Societies Presented by It is a great honor for Augsburg University to be host and home to the Nobel Peace Prize Forum in Minneapolis with our many organizing partners, including the University of Minnesota. On behalf of all the student and faculty attendees, thank you for supporting us in the work of sending out into the world better informed and equipped peacemakers. — Paul C. Pribbenow, Augsburg University President GREETINGS FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR reetings from the office of the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, hosted at Augsburg University. It has been a momentous year, with the return of the Forum to the Augsburg campus as we marked our transition from a college to a university. This year’s return to campus and the Cedar-Riverside community refocused on both student and community involvement, with an increased emphasis on action and engagement with ongoing peacemaking efforts. The Grepresentatives of the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet—our honored laureates this year—were gracious, wise, and good-humored. It was easy to see how they were able to bring together the fractious parties in Tunisia to foster a pluralistic democratic system during a time of serious risks of social fragmentation and violence. More than 1,700 people attended the 2017 Forum, triple the level from 2016, and this year’s participants engaged with a rich array of accomplished guests and speakers. We were pleased to host the Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Olav Njølstad, and appreciated his willingness to participate during the busy weeks leading up to the October 6 announcement of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
