[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Alumni from throughout the decades have responded to a\u00a0charge presented by Augsburg College Regent Wayne\u00a0Jorgenson \u201971 and former Alumni Board President Christopher\u00a0Ascher \u201981. The two men established alumni Class Challenges\u00a0to create a friendly philanthropic-giving competition between\u00a0their respective classes, and to invite all alumni to give back to\u00a0the College to help build the Center for Science, Business, and\u00a0Religion (CSBR).<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly gifts from alumni and friends of the College made\u00a0it possible for each of us to experience a great Augsburg\u00a0education,\u201d Ascher said. \u201cWe are convinced. Now is our time to\u00a0make the investment and help open doors for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo other campus we know has created such an exciting\u00a0intersection of disciplines\u2014science, business, and\u00a0religion\u2014to serve students and forge a pathway to a better\u00a0future for all of us,\u201d Jorgenson said.<\/p>\n

Many classes already are involved in Class Challenges,\u00a0and some have surpassed their goal of donating $1 million to\u00a0the campaign. As of October 15, 42 classes had contributed\u00a0more than $25,000 (see chart below).<\/p>\n

The Class Challenges, combined with a recent gift of $10\u00a0million from a member of the class of 1965, bring the CSBR fund\u00a0to more than $25 million. The overall goal for the campaign is\u00a0$50 million.<\/p>\n
