An extraordinary welcome for an unprecedented incoming class

Following tradition, the 2015-16 academic year kicked off with an Opening Convocation celebration where the Augsburg College community greeted incoming students and introduced them to facets of their new Auggie identity. A record 478 first-year, traditional undergraduate students arrived on campus this fall, and a talk by Associate Professor of Chemistry Joan Kunz highlighted “The five essential elements of an Augsburg education” with both flair and flare. Kunz is the most recent recipient of the College’s Excellence in Teaching award.
