Deborah K. and Douglas R. Wagman
“Augsburg gave me the foundation to build on, for what I have today. I owe them so much for helping me get started. If I can help someone at Augsburg and continue to grow the profession, that’s my legacy.” – Deb Wagman ’78 on her planned gift for the Deborah K. and Douglas R. Wagman Education Scholarship
