Oliver Dahl '45 Sponsors Faculty Office in CSBR
Oliver Dahl '45 has had an 80-year relationship with Augsburg College. From the ages of 10-15, he went to campus to practice basketball while on a Trinity Lutheran Church youth team in Minneapolis.
The relationship between Trinity and Augsburg was very close. Several Augsburg students and esteemed professor Dr. Warren Quanbeck '37 taught Sunday School at Trinity. Oliver's sister Dagmar '36 married Quanbeck.
Dahl was Augsburg's first wrestling coach
Dahl enrolled at Augsburg in Fall 1941, and in 1942 served as the College's first wrestling coach. He left to join the U.S. Army during WWII. Later he graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in business.

Jim and Kathy Haglund Sponsor CSBR Lobby
"Our family has been blessed," Jim says, "and it gives us great joy and satisfaction to share those blessings with Augsburg College, a place that resonates with our values."
Jim says he was not always so generous, adding, "Philanthropy needs to be learned." He and Kathy scaled up their level of giving after learning what a friend was giving their congregation, Calvary Lutheran of Golden Valley. Jim recalls: "We were being asked to give a campaign pledge there, and I saw what my friend wrote on his pledge card. It was much larger than what I had planned to give. I knew his financial circumstances and knew our own, and realized we could be giving much more. I scratched out what I initially wrote down and increased the amount substantially. That's what got us going on this path."
