The infamous Nyberg’s Ace Gjallarhorn at ҹɫ��Ƶapp’s Midco Arena has been suspended on the northeast corner of the building since opening in 2024. Now, thanks to alumni Kevin Nyberg '79, Dr. Mark Berdahl ‘81 and Dean Versteeg ‘82, Viking fans can view the gjallarhorn up close and at eye level during NCAA Division I Augustana Men’s Hockey games. Take a photo with the Viking ship facade and tag @goaugie on Facebook, Instagram and X.

ҹɫ��Ƶapp and Dr. Lucas Hamilton, assistant professor of psychology and director of the aging studies program, are partnering with Active Generations — a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting positive aging for adults. The partnership will kick off with the 2025 Lifelong Learning Program, where Hamilton will host a series of interactive TED Talk-style sessions at both of Active Generations’ locations. The sessions, which are scheduled to start in April, will focus on well-being, the power of music and brain health. Learn more at augie.edu/LifelongLearning.

Participating schools include AU, Concordia College Moorhead, Gustavus Adolphus College, Bethel University, the University of Northwestern, St. Paul and University of Wisconsin, Stout.

Thanks to the Jean Schroeder Educational Trust, ҹɫ��Ƶapp has received nearly $1 million for endowed student scholarships. The trust was established by Dr. A.T. (Andy) Anderson in memory of his late wife, Jean Schroeder ‘60.
