Augsburg College's formal awards gala to honor the achievement of Auggie student-athletes, the seventh annual Auggie Awards ceremony, will be held at Si Melby Hall on Monday, April 21.

The Auggie Awards ceremony is a formal-attire event, open to student-athletes, Augsburg athletics staff and special guests. A pre-ceremony reception will begin at 6 p.m. at Si Melby Hall, with the awards ceremony to follow at 7:30 p.m. The ceremony is styled after major awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars and ESPYs, complete with video highlights, music and more. A dessert reception will follow the awards.

There will be several special awards presented during the ceremony. Team awards will be the Men's and Women's Outstanding Teams of the Year, as well as the Men's and Women's Most Improved Teams of the Year and the Academic Teams of the Year. Individual awards will include the Men's and Women's Rookies of the Year, the Men's and Women's Outstanding Athletes of the Year in Individual Sports and Team Sports, and the Men's and Women's Honor Athlete Awards (the highest honor given to senior student-athletes). Student-athletes with the highest grade-point average will also be honored, and recipients of the Joyce Pfaff and Ed Saugestad Academic Awards will be honored.

Award candidates were determined by Augsburg athletics staff, and a preliminary vote of Augsburg athletics staff narrowed the initial candidates to four finalists in each individual category. A second vote of the finalists was held by the Augsburg athletics staff, along with members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), to determine the winners in each category. SAAC members will be presenting the awards at the ceremony.
