Picture of Jodi Collen. Jodi Collen
Director of Events & Services

Some at Augsburg consider Jodi's existence to be a myth, as she can often be seen around campus only as a blur rushing between events and conferences. Before joining the Auggies, Jodi worked as a senior events planner with Thrivent, traveling to such places as Germany, the Czech Republic, Peru, Austria and Mexico. Jodi earned her Masters of Tourism Administration (emphasis in Event & Meeting Management and Sport Management) from George Washington University and her BA in Marketing from Wartburg College. She is a Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) and is a member of the International Special Events Society (ISES). Phone: 612-330-1107. E-mail: collen@augsburg.edu.
