Our Belonging Organization

In 2019, the SEM division embarked on a journey to be a belonging organizational structure. Our division鈥檚 strategic enrollment management impact is guided by the updated Augsburg 150 Strategic Plan. 听We are passionately committed to the importance of our collective and individual sense of belonging as the primary element for well-being, which in turn sets us up to achieve our SEM goals.听 Our belonging organizational structure requires each of us to mindfully reflect, set our own intentions, and prioritize balance in a world that often seems out of balance.听 We strive for a sense of individualized intention led by the mantra of 鈥渇eel loved鈥攁ct strategically.鈥澨�听

Guided by the Gallup Q12 Belonging Index, we are each in our own ways becoming active belonging adventurers.听 The journey thus far strives to cultivate a sense of belonging where individual’s perspectives, promise, and purpose are shared and supported.听 Many tools and activities continue on an annual basis- the Results Support Management framework, wellness check-ins, a hire-in hire-up practice, the EDIFY personal advocacy storytelling curriculum, and national conference presentations/media. The work behind being a SEM belonging organizational structure is never complete, it is tirelessly ongoing all the time.
