EDITOR’S NOTEEditor’s noteWhat is an Augsburg education?Joan Griffin, Augsburg’s director ofgeneral education, writes that anAugsburg education is an education foraction. It is an education to preparestudents to become effective, informed,and ethical citizens. It asks students toexplore answers to the big questionswithin the context of values and beliefsthat matter. At Augsburg students arechallenged to discover the very best inthemselves.The new Augsburg Core Curriculum,highlighted in this issue, truly givesdistinction to an Augsburg education.The result of several years of thoughtfuland deliberate collaboration, the newcore curriculum offers a blueprint for alearning community that connects eachand every element of the College’smission with its vision. It respects andreflects the College’s heritage, includingits vital role in the community, workingin partnership to prepare students forresponsible citizenship.Augsburg has long believed, beforemany other colleges around the country,that students learn best when combiningtheir classroom learning with experienceoutside the classroom. In the AugsburgCore, every student is required tocomplete an Augsburg experience—through internships (and studentteaching, practica, cooperativeeducation, etc.), faculty-student research,service-learning, study abroad, or otheroff-campus immersion activities.Augsburg’s leadership role in this areahas been affirmed repeatedly—mostrecently and importantly by the honorbestowed upon sociology professorGarry Hesser as Minnesota’s Professor ofthe Year, from the Carnegie Foundationfor the Advancement of Teaching andthe Council for the Advancement andSupport of Education (CASE). Hesserhas also received national awards for hispioneering work in developingexperiential education and continuingnational presence in promoting it.Augsburg’s Center for GlobalEducation and service-learning programhave also received national and regionalawards for their excellence in programs.The new Augsburg Core has goodreason to make all Augsburg alumniproud of their Augsburg education.Enjoy reading about it, as well as aboutsome important events in our campuslife—Homecoming 2004, Advent Vespers25th anniversary, and the upcomingNobel Peace Prize Forum and Festivalin February.Betsey NorgardEditorGreetings of the seasonAugsburg Now is publishedquarterly by Augsburg College,2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis,Minnesota 55454.EditorBetsey NorgardAssistant EditorLynn MenaGraphic DesignerKathy RumpzaClass Notes CoordinatorSara Kamholz ’04PhotographerStephen GeffrePresidentWilliam V.
