First Day of Classes at Augsburg

So, today is the first day of classes at Augsburg. The energy around campus is buzzing. You would barely recognize that just a week ago it was still "summer". Yep, we are moving quickly into the fall season. Here are the tell-tale signs:

*Athletic sports are in full swing. There are football, soccer, and volleyball games happening on most nights. The track and field team is in full gear as well. If you want to follow Auggies Athletics, check it out here: http://www.augsburg.edu/athletics/landing/

*The air is crisp and even chilly. Especially in the morning and evening. Last night I went to the men's soccer game and put on jeans for the first time in months. Personally, I like the change of seasons and the feeling of putting jeans and a sweater on. It's cozy. It's comfortable. Fall is nearly here.

*High school students are applying to Augsburg. I read 5 international student applications just yesterday and met with a sister of an applicant from Congo this morning. I LOVE this part of my job. Working with international students and forming relationships with each individual and their families. This year Augsburg welcomed 18 new international students to our campus from countries such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, Vietnam, Pakistan, Argentina, Ecuador, Sweden, Slovenia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Norway, and Canada.

Fall is here.
The recruitment cycle begins again.
Life is good.
