with a Day of Service by volunteering as a whole class. We believe that connecting as a cohort not only helps break the ice and grow stronger as a group, but serving the community around us strengthens the commitment to the kind of medical providers we strive to become and teach. Our latest Day of Service was held at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2harvest.org\/second-harvest-heartland-local-minnesota-wisconsin-food-bank\">Second Harvest Heartland<\/a>, a local organization that provides food to local shelves and food pantries in order to provide food to families around MN &amp; WI who suffer from food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Keep checking in to see new events and learning opportunities. As a program we host various fundraiser drives, donation drives, and even fundraiser run\/walks that people outside of the program are welcome to participate in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Current students can email &#112;&#x61;p&#x72;o&#103;&#x40;&#97;&#x75;g&#115;&#x62;&#117;&#x72;g&#x2e;&#x65;&#100;&#x75; for more details about current experiential learning opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Augsburg University PA Program aims to foster a sense of community and service for the local residents around the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":513,"featured_media":0,"parent":2387,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4609","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/513"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4609"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4649,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4609\/revisions\/4649"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
