| Affordable Housing and Homelessness // Augsburg students are working to pass the Housing Solutions Act this legislative session. Students attended Student Lobby Day on Thursday, February 28 to meet with their representatives to voice their support for the Housing Solutions Act. On campus events include a Homelessness Awareness sleep-out on the quad coming up in the spring. Students are also gearing up for another trip to the State Capitol for a Housing Solutions Act Vigil in April.
Environment // Augsburg is going green! Campaigns include working with Student Senate to institutionalize a student environmental fee on campus, reducing styrofoam on campus, working with facilities to find hybrid/bio-diesel campus vehicles, installing a green roof on Murphy Place, doing a teach-in in the dark (using natural sunlight), promoting campus energy wars, prepping for Clean Energy Lobby Day and organizing a student forum with Governor Pawlenty.
