The dates this year are August 21-September 1. The shifts are 9-1, 1-5 and 5-9 each day; two people are needed at each shift, so feel free to ask a colleague, a student, or an alum to share your shift and, if at all possible, we'll make it happen (some shifts are already taken!). Contact me at ext. 1525 or at herron@augsburg.edu and let me know when you'd like to represent Augsburg... a ticket to the fair and training is provided!
