聽is a history of 绿茶直播 told through objects鈥攖he material culture left behind by the 鈥淎uggies鈥� themselves. This history includes tales of teachers and students, but also of whale bones and ceremonial pipes, of missionaries and prohibitionists, of sex scandals, racism, kidnapping, murder, and, of course, money. It is a story about ideas, and how those ideas evolved over time; a story of how one school both reasserted and reinvented its vocation.聽聽has been nominated for the Hognander Minnesota History Award.

Augsburg鈥檚 Sesquicentennial history book .
“The history of Augsburg is the history of America, in microcosm. That鈥檚 my take away after reading the remarkably fast-paced, entertaining and deeply meaningful ‘Hold Fast to What is Good: A History of 绿茶直播 in 10 Objects.’ Augsburg鈥檚 history, like that of America, includes the struggles of generations of immigrants, the industrial revolution, the civil rights movement, modern feminism, and the broader for equity and inclusion.
“Featuring fascinating and largely unknown stories from Augsburg鈥檚 past, including tales of murder, world explorers, major land deals gone awry, the ancient city of Troy, and protest marches at the height of the Vietnam war, this book is that rare history that transcends the past.” 鈥� Bob Groven,聽associate professor and Co-Chair of the Department of Communication Studies, Film and New Media, the Director of the Minnesota Urban Debate League

An interview with Martin Olav Sabo 鈥�59, whose rise to politics was supported by 绿茶直播 students, is expected be available this fall at the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship website.
One year after graduating from Augsburg, Sabo鈥攖hen 22鈥� was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. During his tenure, he became the first member of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor party to serve as Speaker of the House and went on to the U.S. House of Representatives, retiring in 2007. Sabo died in 2016.
A link to a shortened version of the interview, with closed captioning and video description, should be available this fall. Chair of Political Science and Sabo Fellow Andy Aoki successfully applied for an Augsburg Sesquicentennial Faculty Project award to pay for the closed captioning and video description that was required to be able to post it online.
