Graduating Seniors: Class of 2012

Hey Class of 2012! Did you know that Augsburg College gives over $22 million dollars a year in financial aid? Some of that aid is possible because of the donations of loyal alumni, parents, and friends of the College. Show your loyalty to Augsburg & pay this generosity forward by accepting the Senior Class Challenge: Donate to The Augsburg Fund this year in honor of your graduation, and pledge to give annually the next four years. It doesn't matter the size, even $10-- which is what you spend on ONE pizza-- can add up to make a big difference.
Our goal is to have 10 graduating seniors participate each day. An added bonus: all donors will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 Visa gift card! Visit the Senior Class Challenge table in Christensen Center next week April 9th -April 13th.
