The 2007-08 Solberg Staff
Kristin Abeln – Solberg Hall Director/Coordinator of Residence Life Programming
I live in Solberg Hall with my husband, Justin Boerboom, and our puppy Charlie. We lived in East Hall last year as I finished up my Master’s degree program in Student Affairs Administration at South Dakota State University. In addition to working with students, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and meeting new people, learning about new things and seeing new places!
This year I can’t wait to get to know the residents of Solberg Hall and to run into the previous residents of East Hall in the Augie community! I am very excited to help freshmen make the transition into such a great place and to do some really fun things with them and the Solberg staff. I am also really looking forward to fulfilling my additional role at Augie – coordinating Residence Life Programming (where I get to help plan some of those really fun things). It is going to be another great year!

Why did you apply to be on Residence Life Staff and what are you looking the most forward to with your floormates next year?

What has been a highlight of your being at Augustana?
Meeting lots of fun new people, making friends, stuff like that. Maybe just as much, though, I have enjoyed the self-discovery Augie has offered me—I feel like I have changed here, and I liked it!
Favorite campus activity?
Just chillaxin in the dorms. It is really tough for a dance or coffee house event to beat simply hanging out in someone’s room with a bunch of people watching a movie or something.
Favorite commons meal?
Hmm… I’d say grilled chicken Caesar salad (made to order, subway style) with a side plat e of pasta and meat sauce, topped off with some soft-serve ice cream.

I would like to get to know the incoming frosh, and be part of that whole first-year experience thing. I am looking forward to… well, I guess getting to know my floormates, obviously, but we are going to have some sweet floor activities too.

Why did you apply to be on Residence Life Staff and what are you looking the most forward to with your floormates next year?
Since the very beginning of the year, I knew I wanted to become some sort of leader on campus. I decided I would like to be a PA in the freshmen residence halls because I wanted to help incoming freshman have the best time possible into the college scene. I really look forward to helping my floormates get accustomed to college life and developing a great community between us all.
