The performance will take place on Thursday, Sept. 4 from 7 - 9 p.m. We will be providing a basic sound system.

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.

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. - Noon (to guide students to Convocation)

As a reminder, Opening Convocation takes place on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 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.
