Joann Reeck (Ed.D. student) was promoted to vice president for Equity and Inclusion at Augsburg University.

Publications by recent alumni, faculty, and students include:
Hudda Ibrahim (Ed.D. student) is an author, community advocate, and educator. Her closet is full of hijabs in different styles, patterns, and of course, colors! Her first book, “From Somalia to Snow,” explores how central Minnesota became home to Somalis. Ibrahim hopes this book brings joy to the girls who wear hijabs and brings light to all of the people they meet. “What Color is My Hijab?” is a children’s “learn your colors” book where a Muslim girl chooses what color hijab she’ll wear today. In the book, women of all different professions, including doctors and teachers, artists and politicians, are featured wearing their very colorful hijabs and a variety of clothing. Ibrahim says the variety is intentional, as it illustrates that like all Americans, Muslim women come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and abilities.
