On Thursday, July 18 the Young Alumni Council hosted the Young Alumni Leadership 
Summit at the Minneapolis Club in downtown Minneapolis. The Council set out to engage their peers in conversation around the colleges greatest priority to build the Center for Science, Business, and Religion. The event hosted over 100 young alumni from across the last decade. Guests enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with one another, hear from members of the Young Alumni Council, current 
faculty and students, as well as President Pribbenow and National Campaign Chair, Mike Good ’71.
We, the young alumni council, believe that our graduates are just as much the future of 
Augsburg College as those who currently attend and those who will attend in the future. The alumni have the ability to make a name and build a brand for their former school as much as the students and faculty present at the college. What do we want that brand to be and what do we want our college to look like 50 years from now?
We have the opportunity to open doors for others and for each other. Our opportunity is to invest in Augsburg College and to build our brand in our community, in our workplace, in our network, and between each other. We achieve this by committing to our alma mater and by staying involved in the process. By being here this evening, you have declared yourself as a leader in our young alumni network. We, the young alumni council, ask you to join us.
