Last month, Ben Krouse-Gagne ‘11 joined the Institutional Advancement staff as Assistant Director of Annual Giving. Ben is returning “home” to Augsburg from St. Catherine University, where he served as the Annual Fund Assistant for the past two years. Ben brings strong experience with volunteer management, reunion giving, Phoneathon, e-philanthropy, and working with recent graduates. He has many ideas to strengthen Augsburg’s annual giving program.
“I had a great experience at Augsburg as a student and now I am proud to call this place my home once again,” says Ben. “I am excited to engage with the alumni and friends of Augsburg to keep strengthening this place.”
Ben graduated from Augsburg in 2011 as a Political Science major and History minor. During his time as a student at Augsburg, he served as Day Student Body Vice President and worked as a student caller at the on-campus Phoneathon. Ben also served as a member of the Young Alumni Council and has served as a lead volunteer for Auggie Volunteer Nights. He is incredibly dedicated to Augsburg, brings great passion for annual giving, and is eager to connect donors with ways to support the College.
