and the dream continues Richard Green Dean of the College My first few months as Dean at Augsburg have been very eventful and most rewarding. In my address to the faculty at the 1980 Fall Workshop. I indicated that I was eager to start my new position at the college and that I felt that I did not have time to be new. I have found the situation to be exciting and the plans for the future of the Augsburg aca- demic program to be very encouraging. I am committed to the kind of educational program offered at Augsburg. I think that students are best educated in a setting where the liberal arts, academic excellence and the Christian faith are accepted as the foundations for learn- ing. Augsburg College, in addition to offering students a quality education in a Christian and caring community, makes a special effort to take advantage of its unique urban setting. I will make a special effort to help our stu- dents reap the benefits of this learning environment and hopefully, they will learn to live a full life while preparing for a calling as contributing members of society. — Richard Green Vice President for Academic Affairs Dean of the College 14 INTRODUCTION
