Each year, Augsburg College celebrates the creativity and scholarship of undergraduate students with its annual Zyzzogeton Research Symposium. The event falls at the end of each academic year and is a culmination of achievement featuring work across departments. More than 80 students participate each year, showcasing their research. A "zyzzogeton" is a green leaf-hopper as well as the last word in the Webster Collegiate Dictionary, which is a fitting symbol to mark the end of the academic year. The public is welcome, so feel free to invite family, friends, and those from the community to this exciting event!

And there will be crowd favorites nachos and Italian sodas to boot!

Hosted by URGO, McNair, and STEM Programs

Thanks For The Scarves -- And A Few More Needed

Sisterhood is celebrating its birthday week and having a sale all week (20% off) and a birthday party on Sunday afternoon. Right across from OGC.

The Augsburg community has donated over 45 scarves. Thanks you!
Sisterhood still needs a few more to get to a hundred!
