Alumni families were greeted by alumni director, Katie Koch \u201801, volunteer engagement manager, Katie Radford \u201812, Associate Provost James Gross, and Rochester administrative\u00a0staff.<\/p>\n<p>Alumni from the Minneapolis and Rochester programs who live in the Rochester area met new friends and reconnected with classmates, co-workers, and neighbors. One of the highlights of the family gathering was to watch so many kids playing together and enjoying new Auggie gear won in the raffle, including mugs, t-shirts, padfolios, and sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p>The Alumni Association looks forward to the next alumni event in Rochester, and is thankful to all who spent the afternoon celebrating summer and our connections to Augsburg.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-47213 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
