Pivotal Moment of Choice: Choosing to be a transformational neighbor

Paul Pribbenow is a social ethics scholar, President of Augsburg University, and leader in a global movement of ‘anchor institutions’ seeking empowering relationships with their neighbors. In this episode, we’ll learn how a campus tragedy prompted Pribbenow to double down on Augsburg’s community relationships in Cedar Riverside – one of the Midwest’s most diverse and densely populated zip codes.

Pribbenow leads the Cedar Riverside Partnership, a collaboration of leaders from local government, community organizations, a major health care provider, and a real estate developer. As partners, they have achieved some impressive, tangible outcomes for the Cedar Riverside community in employment pathways, community safety and placemaking.
