Augsburg College to become 鈥樅＝巧缜�� September 1

Posted on

(MINNEAPOLIS)鈥擜ugsburg College will become 海角社区 effective September 1.

The change reflects the reality that Augsburg already offers nine graduate degree programs鈥攊ncluding Minnesota鈥檚 first program for physician assistants鈥攊n addition to its more than 50 undergraduate degree programs.

鈥淏ecoming 海角社区 does not change our dedication to our liberal arts mission or our commitment to being small to our students and big for the world,鈥� said Augsburg President Paul C. Pribbenow.

鈥淎s we lean into our reality as a university, we will continue our drive toward the intentional diversity for which we are known. We will ensure we are student-ready and can provide those of academic ability with opportunities for hands-on learning, undergraduate research, international study, and internships so that all Auggies are prepared to share their gifts and talents with the world.鈥�

The name change decision was made after a thorough review that included conducting market research, studying the process and impact of name changes by other institutions, and holding open dialogue sessions with a broad set of stakeholders, including students, alumni, faculty, staff, and regents.

More information about the change is at augsburg.edu/university.

Augsburg creative writing mentor Neal Karlen describes connection to Prince in Star Tribune column

Posted on

Minneapolis Star Tribune - logoNeal Karlen, a mentor in聽Augsburg College’s Master of Arts in Creative Writing program, described the unlikely friendship he developed with music icon Prince in a recent Star Tribune column. Karlen is among an elite group of writers granted in-depth interviews with Prince in the mid-1980s. Over time, discussions between the print writer and the songwriter聽developed into something akin to friendship, according Karlen.

“I always told Prince I knew he really didn鈥檛 consider me a friend, but as one of the few people in Minneapolis who was probably awake, like he always was, in the middle of the night, and was ‘Willing and Able,’ as my favorite song of his is titled, to talk about loneliness and death,” Karlen wrote.

“I even rubbed it in, in the opening of my second Rolling Stone cover story聽on Prince, published in 1990.

‘The phone rings at 4:48 in the morning,'”
