When a water droplet hits the surface of a pond, it causes a ripple effect that spreads across the pond\u2019s surface. That\u2019s how my dear wife and Augsburg Regent Nancy (Mackey ’85) Mueller sees the effect a gift to the Augsburg endowment can have on the University\u2019s future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Nov. 17, Augsburg hosted a brunch to thank scholarship donors who have given generously to Great Returns: Augsburg\u2019s Sesquicentennial Campaign<\/em> and to announce the ambitious goal of securing 150 new scholarships in honor of the 150th anniversary of the University\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n

As of mid-November, 65 new scholarships have been established toward this goal. During the brunch, donors were recognized with a special gift\u2014a hand-blown glass water droplet. Each glass water droplet is one of a kind and has been signed and numbered by the artist. These small works of art symbolize the impact each benefactor has and will have on the lives of Augsburg students today and in the future.<\/p>\n

As President Pribbenow said at Saturday\u2019s brunch, \u201cYour generosity is life-giving and sustaining. Your support ripples out to touch the lives of students for generations to come. It also ripples out to inspire other donors.\u201d<\/p>\n

These scholarships play a key role in the Great Returns<\/em> campaign as they increase our endowment and make Augsburg more accessible to students. We are pleased to report the campaign reached $36 million in October and continues to grow through the philanthropy of the amazing Augsburg community.<\/p>\n
