The new president is expected to take office in July 2027.<\/p>\n<p>As a new kind of urban, student-centered university, Augsburg educates students to thrive in their lives\u2014to be successful professionals, good neighbors, and stewards of an inclusive democracy, engaged in their communities and uniquely equipped to navigate the complex issues of our time. The successes and progress of long and stable presidencies, including two decades under Pribbenow\u2019s transformative leadership, have created a solid foundation for the new president to lead the Augsburg community into its next chapter. The next president will be called to embrace Augsburg\u2019s urban setting and Lutheran ethos of service to neighbor, building on the university\u2019s 150-year legacy to extend Augsburg\u2019s reach and influence in the next decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"parallax-bg-image-section panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"parallax-bg-text-content panel-cell-style panel-cell-style-for-2-3-0\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-2-3-0-0\" ><div id=\"pl-w6a833e849bf4d\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w6a833e849bf4d-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w6a833e849bf4d-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w6a833e849bf4d-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sidebarbutton SidebarButton panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><a type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-default btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/about\/\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 320px;\">Discover Augsburg<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"parallax-text-block panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-4\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Graduation_227.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-10  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Graduation_227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Graduation_227-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-2-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-2-4-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Position Profile<\/h2>\n<p>The position profile outlines the desired qualities and characteristics of Augsburg\u2019s next president.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-default btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1EgUp_T-tc733k50pwk-CcQV3_MLbQh8c\/view?usp=sharing\">View position profile<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2-5\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"parallax-text-block panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-5\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-5-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2-5-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Viewbook_09.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-18  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Viewbook_09.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/2026\/06\/Viewbook_09-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-2-5-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2-5-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-2-5-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Apply<\/h2>\n<p>Academic Search is partnering with Augsburg University in the search process.
