\"AWE<\/a>Augsburg Women in Philanthropy (AWE) is excited to formally create the AWE-Inspired Philanthropy Council. The Council functions in an advisory and support capacity to the Office of Advancement. Our goal is to strengthen the culture of philanthropy among Augsburg women of all ages. We will focus on ways to educate, engage and celebrate Augsburg\u2019s alumnae donors.<\/p>\n

Just two years ago, a small group of AWEsome women put up a bold goal\u2014to raise $100,000 and sponsor a student study lounge in the Center for Science, Business, and Religion. We went on to surpass our goal and to date have raised $126,000. There is still time to be a part of this landmark campaign that will close on December 31, 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This shows what a committed group of women can do. It is no surprise that the secret to making positive and lasting change in the world is hidden in plain sight. In fact, it is more than half of the population. Women vote more, volunteer more, and give more to charities than men. They control more than half of the total wealth in America!<\/p>\n

\"Brick5\"<\/a>Buy a Brick, Build a Legacy
\nThis campaign has generated so much enthusiasm and renewed so many wonderful memories and stories of Augsburg legacy. Before the campaign closes on December 31, there is still time to honor a special person, a faculty member, Auggie family members, and classmates.<\/strong> The personalized brick wall will have a prominent space in the new building.<\/p>\n

Some inspiring examples include:<\/p>\n
