As Campaign Chair for <\/span>Great Returns: Augsburg\u2019s Sesquicentennial Campaign,<\/em> I\u2019ve met with hundreds alumni, parents, and friends of the University who are good learners, good citizens, and good and faithful people. As one of our most engaged supporters, I count you among them.\u00a0 Thank you for your continued attention to our drive to build Augsburg\u2019s endowment that will sustain its mission far into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n As a <\/span>Great Returns<\/em> insider, I want you to know that Augsburg has received nearly 1,000 early campaign gift commitments, five of which are at the 7-figure level. We\u2019ve created over 50 new scholarships. Two donors have made commitments to endow professorships. This is good progress and there are many more conversations we hope to complete in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n As our momentum builds, I\u2019m extra grateful for Regent Pam Moksnes \u201979 who has agreed to serve as Vice-Chair for the Campaign with a focus on supporting donors in considering a gift through their estate. To date, 25 donors have made planned gift commitments to <\/span>Great Returns<\/em>. Pam will be a terrific partner who has decades of professional experience supporting donors with a range of planned gifts from simple to complex.<\/span><\/p>\n These are exciting times for Augsburg! Please keep the University and its students, faculty, and staff in your thoughts and prayers. If you would like to have a gift conversation or have any questions about the campaign, please reach out to me (muellerp@augsburg.edu) or Vice President for Advancement Heather Riddle (riddle@augsburg.edu).<\/span><\/p>\n Warmly,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Paul S.
