Day Student Government Resolution-Catering Policy

On Friday, December 9 the Echo printed a resolution passed by Day Student Government regarding the Augsburg College catering policy. There has been some confusion over what this resolution means. Please read below for clarification:

The Day Student Government passed what is called a resolution, which is a non-binding formal statement of opinion. In other words, this resolution is the formal statement of opinion of the Day Student Government in regards to the catering policy at Augsburg College.

Please note that nothing about the current catering policy has changed. It may have appeared in the article as though the catering policy was altered, but in fact, student groups and college departments are still required to utilize A'viands for on-campus events that have 25 or more people.

For questions about the catering policy, please contact Event & Conference Planning at events@augsburg.edu. For questions about the resolution, please contact the Day Student Government at stugov@augsburg.edu.

Event Announcements

Billy Mills Event

Billy Mills, 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist in 10,000 Meter run, will present here at Augsburg College on Friday, January 13, 2012 at 7 PM in the Chapel. He is an amazing speaker who motivates and inspires by telling his story. Please join us!! Free and open to everyone!!

Billy Mills was born and raised on the Pine Ridge (Lakota) Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Although Pine Ridge is very rich in culture and spirit, it is continually recognized economically as one of the poorest communities in America with unemployment reaching 80%.

Billy was orphaned by the age of 12 and sent to boarding schools. He graduated from high school at Haskell Indian School. Billy became involved in distance running and earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Kansas. Never winning a major race in track and field or cross country, he continued to show promise by his performances, making NCAA and AAU All-American seven times. Upon graduating from the University of Kansas, Billy was commissioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps., and continued training for the Olympic Team. He made the Olympic Team in two events, the marathon and the 10,000 meter run. He had trained his body, mind, and soul for "Peak Performance." And the world was about to see the greatest upset in Olympic history unfold.

Today Billy is an accomplished businessman, author, and National Spokesperson for Christian Relief Services. As National Spokesperson, he has helped raise over 500 million dollars in cash and in-kind for charities worldwide. He has received five honorary doctorates, and is the recipient of the Distinguished Service Citation, the highest honor that the University of Kansas Alumni Association can bestow upon an individual to acknowledge outstanding achievement for the betterment of mankind. A major motion picture has been made about Billy, titled "Running Brave," and has been a positive influence on many of our American youth. Billy Mills was recognized on several end-of-the-millennium lists, including being chosen as Sports Illustrated's Athlete of the Century for the state of South Dakota and Runners World Magazine the second greatest Olympic moment. In 2009, his race was chosen by Running Times Magazine as the greatest distance race on the track in the history of the Olympics. He is the only person from the Western Hemisphere to ever win the Olympic 10,000 Meter Run.
