The eighth president of Augsburg College, Charles S. Anderson oversaw significant growth in the College’s enrollment, student diversity, program offerings, and commitment to its Lutheran heritage. To honor his legacy, Augsburg will rename its music building the Charles S. Anderson Music Hall.

Anderson Music Hall occupies a central location on campus and houses an array of music programs that welcome students of diverse musical interests. More than 100 students each year pursue traditional liberal arts music studies as well as degrees in music business, music education, music performance, and music therapy. More than 350 students—music majors and non-music majors alike—participate in the College’s numerous vocal, concert band, symphony orchestra, and jazz ensembles.
Marketing and Facilities are working to update campus maps to distinguish Anderson Music Hall from Anderson Residence Hall — the latter of which was named for former Augsburg President Oscar A. Anderson, who served as president of the College from 1963 to 1980.
