Please go to your Augsburg email from Nov. 5-8 (it contains your individual participant code) and click on the link to participate. Students who participate will be entered into a drawing for one of two great prizes provided by A'Viands - two Google Chromecasts! ALL RESPONSES ARE CONFIDENTIAL. This log-in code is only used to let us know which students participated so that the prize drawings may be held.

Keeping Track of Auggies

Leroy Nyhus '52 Supports the CSBR with a CGA

If you attend football, basketball, hockey, or baseball games at Augsburg College, you likely will see Leroy Nyhus '52 in the stands, supporting the team. Living in suburban Minneapolis gives him easy access to home games and some away games.

Supporting the team is one way he demonstrates his appreciation for Augsburg. Another important way is supporting the educational mission financially. He gives annually and also has established charitable gift annuities (CGAs), providing him with fixed income for life. Learn more about CGAs here: http://www.gftpln.org/Article.do?orgId=5038&articleId=9416

Leroy set up a charitable annuity some years ago at Augsburg. Recently he decided to create another, supporting the Center for Science, Business, and Religion (CSBR), a facility that will enhance cross-disciplinary work.
