Retiring from Augsburg University

9/1/2019

7 Comments

 
Dear blog readers, 
 
Yesterday, President Paul Pribbenow sent the official notice announcing my retirement from Augsburg University. Before he did so, I sent this note to select colleagues, and now to you.
 
"My decision to retire from Augsburg was not made lightly, but it was made freely and by me alone. I look forward to focusing on my writing and research and see many exciting and fun opportunities ahead. I taught at Augsburg for almost two decades. Many of my fondest memories and deepest friendships formed there. I’ll miss all of you, but only in the sense of not seeing you with regularity on campus. I hope to see you elsewhere, and often."
 
Big changes. Time to update this writer's platform. Thanks for your patience while we undergo some construction.

Next blog entry: what will I do now?

You were a great addition to the Augsburg faculty and the best to you in your retirement. I've been anxious to read your new book on the History of Augsburg. Will you do a signing on campus or a book store? Do let us know. Thanks for all your great service to the college. All the best, Norman and Ilene Holen

You have made a fine contribution to Augsburg College/Univ., and have so much to offer whatever you choose next. My kind greetings to Saga, and fond remembrances of Clio. Keep us posted.

It was good until it lasted. I am pretty sure that you pretty had a good experience at Augsburg University. Teaching students and molding them to become an aid for a brighter future has always been your passion and I am confident that you did a good job. You're a good teacher that's why you students and your fellow faculty will miss you. I know that if you have a choice, you will not leave Augsburg University and will continue to teach but some things are bound to happen that way, so we should all go with the flow! Now, it's about time to seek for another level of happiness!

Your medieval camp impacted so many kids. Enjoy your journey.

So good to see you at the 150th!!! Albeit not or never enough time! Didn’t get a chance to ask you if you got my card(which I thought was most fitting)?? I mailed it to the college prior to the big bash. And I must say you did an extraordinary job on the history book. One day you’ll need to sign my copy. Warm regards my friend. .......Gida gah bines ikwe
