Diversity Strategic Plan Update - Tuesday, Aug. 19
Augsburg College launched the diversity strategic planning process in February, 2007. Many individuals and departments were involved in the process, including participation in surveys. From the variety of inputs, we're proposing specific areas to focus on for the next year. Campus community members are invited to the presentation and conversation about this on Tuesday, August 19, 3-4 p.m. in OGC 111.
If you are unable to attend, please note we will have more of these information sessions and plan to provide update via the website.
Fall Semester Transit Passes on Sale Now
Go-To College transit passes are now on sale at the student services counter in Sverdrup 100. Go-To passes are a generously discounted transit passes that allow students to use the metro transit system for the whole semester for only $125.00. This price is more than a 50% discount from the regular price of monthly bus passes. Metro Transit provides the main portion of the discount and Augsburg College contributes an extra $25.00 to reach the $125.00 per semester cost.
Passes are good for all light rail and bus rides, anytime of day, 7 days a week. Students who leave their car at home and take advantage of this great benefit, save money, help the environment and make campus parking a little easier for those who cannot use the transit system for their daily commute.
Students who opt for transit over the single occupancy vehicle commute can save thousands of dollars a year that can go towards other living and college expenses. Augsburg's central location makes a transit lifestyle easy and hassle free.
