Augsburg Women Engaged: moving in a new direction

Share this:

The Augsburg Women Engaged Philanthropy Council has grown in the past year. Augsburg alumnae formed AWE in 2009 to unite women with shared interests and passions through events, mentorship, and philanthropy. Today, AWE inspires women to connect, learn, and give.

AWE highlights:

Connect—Members gathered at Homecoming for a painting party to prepare pieces of a mural titled “Emergence” that will be installed in the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion.

Learn—AWE hosted a discussion following the 2016 Center for Wellness and Counseling Convocation and a pre-concert reception at the annual Woman Voice: Voice of Hope choral performance.

Give—Members raised more than $100,000 for the “Emergence” mural and are engaged in planning to raise an additional $1 million for scholarships.

AWE’s participation has nearly doubled during the past year and includes Augsburg women from all generations, degree programs, and career fields.

If you are interested in learning more about AWE, contact Martha Truax, associate director of leadership gifts, at 612-330-1652 or truaxm@augsburg.edu.
