Faculty, staff, and students are already planning a series of projects that includes an app, videos, and 10-episode podcast to showcase Augsburg’s Sesquicentennial.
View this Inside Augsburg page for descriptions of projects such as Auggie Political Engagement: A History; the Cedar-Riverside Community Partnership; Auggie Athletic Highlights, and many more.
More information will be shared in the coming months.
2019 marks 150 years since Augsburg’s founding in 1869. Starting in September, the Augsburg community will hold a year-long celebration to lift up our founding principles, honor our history, and look to the future.
The celebration kicks off September 27 with the Sesquicentennial Gala. Information about discounted tickets will be available next week and sold for a limited time to Augsburg employees.

The goal of the September 10 and 11 Focused Conversations is for Augsburg faculty and staff to discuss planning for the sesquicentennial celebration starting next fall.
Co-Chairs Darcey Engen ’88 and Jeff Swenson ’79 as well as Project & Event Manager Jodi Collen and Programming & Content Manager Katie (Koch) Code ’01 all shared information.
More details will be available here in the months to come. Quarterly meetings will be held to share updates, field questions, and facilitate discussion.
