Augsburg First Year Students
You belong at Augsburg
because you aren’t satisfied with simple answers or the status quo.
You’re ready to soar past limitations and to question why those limits exist in the first place.
You want to make a difference
and still have a social life.
Instead of taking shortcuts to get ahead,
you create pathways for others to succeed.
So bring your street smarts and your book smarts to face local challenges and global issues.
Study with Fulbright scholars and champion athletes.
Hang out with world travelers, scientific masterminds, and talented artists.
Come hungry to learn.
Graduate ready to serve
and lead with confidence.
You belong at Augsburg.
We Are Called. Auggies.
