On June 21 and 22, former Augsburg classmates, roommates and teammates from the 1980s reunited on campus for the 1980s Leadership Summit to learn about the college’s top priority, the Center for Science, Business, and Religion. The Summit began with a warm welcome from Karina Karlén ’83 and an inspirational speech from Chris Ascher ’81 who encouraged his classmates to invest in this new signature facility that will engage future leaders in collaborative inquiry and, through them, shape our world.
The second day of the Summit provided the attendees with an opportunity to see first-hand how the CSBR will impact the campus and the student experience.
“Saturday’s tour of the current Science building, faculty panel and then break-out discussions really had a positive impact on everyone in attendance. We all left with a greater sense of ownership in the future of our alma mater,” said Chris Ascher ’81.
