We reached out across our social media channels to gather stories about how Augsburg community members show their Auggie pride. Here are some of their photos and responses:<\/p>\n

We had karaoke at our wedding (2022) and A.J. Bohler \u201912<\/strong> requested and played the Auggie fight song!

I love my fellow Auggies! \u2014Elisabeth (Clemans) Habisch \u201911<\/strong> via Facebook<\/p>\n

I try to give back what generosity and support I was given during my academic career. I went from being homeless to being one of three air toxic scientists in the state of Minnesota. Anything is possible! \u2014Derek King \u201917<\/strong> via LinkedIn<\/p>\n

My Augsburg education prepared me to take on the world at an international level\u2014Italy just happened to be my first stop.
