Augsburg AD Jeff Swenson will retire at the end of the academic year, concluding a 24-year tenure leading the Auggies. Swenson: “As we celebrate 100 years of Augsburg athletics, and having been a part of athletics here for nearly 50 years, counting my undergraduate years, my family and I felt that the time was right to make a transition. Being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in June 2022 certainly entered into my thought process as well. I'm looking forward to helping Augsburg transition to the next athletic administrative team, and finishing up our fundraising for the men's locker room project and other university priorities. […] My goal has always been to provide the best possible experience for our student-athletes and to improve one percent each day in everything we do. I hope we've accomplished that in the areas I've had the opportunity to be part of at Augsburg during the last five decades. We have great coaches, an incredible support staff and an awesome administrative team, and I'm confident that Auggie athletics will continue to thrive and improve.” The university will launch the search for Swenson’s successor in early 2025.
