[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Travelers Companies, Inc. gave a $50,000 grant to Augsburg University in September 2020 to support Travelers EDGE<\/a>. The program\u2014which stands for Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment\u2014provides scholarships, internships, job shadowing, professional development opportunities, and career advice. More than 100 Augsburg students have participated in the program since 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is much more to be gained from Travelers EDGE than solely professional development,\u201d said Ann A. Ulring<\/b>, program manager at Augsburg\u2019s Strommen Center for Meaningful Work<\/a>. \u201cBy the time scholars graduate, they are confident, career-focused, and empowered to share who they are and what they have to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

EDGE scholar Samantha Lopez \u201922<\/b>, who completed a summer internship at Travelers, said, \u201cTravelers has opened so many doors for me. It was amazing to learn firsthand what goes on inside a corporation and find out I can do the work. Travelers provided me with the support, skills, and confidence I need to pursue a business career.\u201d<\/p>\n
