The AGB Search team sends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Richard Torgerson, who passed away on Sunday, October 30. Rick was a well-loved figure in the higher education community, having spent 30 years in faculty and administrative positions, eventually becoming President of Luther College from 1999 to 2013. In addition to his leadership roles in the Lutheran Educational Conference of North America and the NCAA Division III Presidents Council, Rick served as an AGB Search Executive Search Consultant and is fondly remembered by his colleagues.
"It was well over 50 years ago that I met Rick Torgerson when we were both undergraduates at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN," remembers Loren Anderson. "We worked in the same vineyard, Lutheran Higher Education, for our entire campus careers, we were Presidential colleagues, and then colleagues at AGB. Rick and Judy have been among our closest friends — we traveled together, biked together, laughed together, cried together."
