Staff are nominated by their colleagues for this award and recognized for their professional accomplishments as well as their dedication to their work and to serving the students, faculty, and staff.

Carly Eichhorst, associate director of financial aid, nominated her boss and mentor Paul Terrio. She says, “Paul approaches problem solving from a perspective of maximizing our resources. He has fostered a departmental culture that emphasizes creativity and working smarter. He helps us all see our role in shaping the community at Augsburg. He believes we are collectively called to live out the mission of the college.”

Nathan Lind was nominated by Carol Enke and also received letters of support from the education department. Carol writes, “Nathan is incredibly patient, thorough and conscientious. With Nathan as my LFC, if I want to learn how to do a new task, he is more than willing to take the time to teach me, step by step. In meetings with him, he continually challenges me to learn more about what a computer can do and shows me how a particular program will improve my efficiency. His knowledge in his field is extensive, but he has never made me feel inadequate (although oftentimes I am) when it comes to maneuvering any computer program. I have absolutely no qualms about contacting Nathan when a need arises.”

What’s with all this free stuff? It’s Auggie Night at the Races, a fun-filled evening for Augsburg alumni, faculty, staff, and students at Canterbury Park. Every year since 2005, Curt Sampson, Canterbury’s owner and a former member of the Augsburg Board of Regents, has opened his doors to the Augsburg family for an exciting night of live horse racing. This year’s event will be held Thursday, Aug. 7.

Since its first year, Jack Osberg ’62 of the office of Alumni and Parent Relations has attended Auggie Night at the Races with his family. The event gives Osberg, who coached Augsburg football for 14 seasons, an opportunity to reminisce with former Auggie football players and other athletes and to meet their families.

Sally Daniels ’79 and Amanda Storm, also of Alumni and Parent Relations, encourage staff and faculty to attend. “It’s a great way to connect with alums,” Storm said, “and to hear about their Augsburg experience.” Daniels added that she enjoys going to the races because it’s a sporting event she doesn’t usually get to see. “I love learning how the races work and cheering for the horse I bet on,” she said.

Want to join us for Auggie Night at the Races? Load up the car with your family and friends, don’t forget your mosquito spray, and make your way to Canterbury Park. We’d love to see you there! The gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the first post is at 7 p.m. Canterbury Park is located off of Highway 169 in Shakopee. For directions and information, go to www.canterburypark.com.

Contact Becky Taute tauter@augsburg.edu or Amanda Storm storma@augsburg.edu to RSVP by Wednesday, Aug. 6.
