Newsletter

Welcome to the Augsburg University Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Newsletter!

The Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Newsletter is a monthly, opt-in, electronic bulletin that highlights various on- and off-campus events and suggests relevant and/or timely literature to the Augsburg community around the topics of diversity, inclusion, and equity during the academic year.

The events and literature included in the Newsletter may help Augsburg faculty, staff and students to grow, not only in their individual intercultural competency development, but also in the approaches they employ to better cultivate a University environment that respects diversity, practices inclusion, and seeks equity.
