Welcome Weekend

The Augsburg for Adults office is organizing a "Welcome Weekend" event where we invite faculty, staff, administrators and student leaders to greet new and returning undergraduate and graduate adult students and guide them to their classes.

Our last several Welcome Weekends were very successful; as students appreciated the warmth and individual attention they received from participants. We hope to duplicate that success with your help.

For the fall trimester, we have three different shifts to choose from:

Friday, September 5, 2008: 5-6:30 p.m.
Saturday, September 6, 2008: 7:30-9 a.m.
Saturday, September 6, 2008: 11 a.m. -12 noon (to guide students to Convocation)

As a reminder, Opening Convocation takes place on Saturday, September 6, at 12 noon in the Hoversten Chapel.

If you are interested in creating a welcoming atmosphere for our new and continuing students, please contact me with your shift preference at foxwilso@augsburg.edu. I will contact participants with more information.
