Subject: IRB Workshop TOMORROW, 2/14

Submitter:

Are you about to start a research process that requires IRB approval? In a brief session, faculty on the IRB will take you through the process and answer questions:

De-Mystifying the IRB Process
Tuesday, February 14, 3-5:00 p.m. in the Marshall Roon

Subject: Friday Seminar, February 17 with John Schmit

Submitter:
Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message:
Stuff you already know: a peek inside the structures of language
*Warning: Obscenity and profanity will be prominently featured in this presentation

Because the capacity for language is innate in humans, we need to learn much less than we imagine about language and how to use it. It is fascinating, then, to look at the knowledge we have innately or acquire unconsciously and to see how it informs our manipulation of linguistic structures. And how could it be that we have a deep familiarity with linguistic rules that no school would ever allow us to put into practice?

Since most of the examples to be used in this presentation are unprintable, you'll have to show up for the seminar to find out what they are.

John Schmit, a member of the Augsburg Community since 1990, has spent way too much time studying prosodic phonology, an endeavor that has left him irreparably twisted. When you see the stuff that he's interested in, you'll see what we mean. Schmit's academic training spans linguistics and literature, especially the study of poetic meters and rhythmic organization in non-metrical poetry.

Refreshments are served at 3:30 in Lindell 301; the presentation begins at 4.

Re: Augsburg College's Next President

On behalf of the Board of Regents and the Presidential Search Committee, we are delighted to announce that on Friday morning the Board of Regents in a unanimous vote elected Dr. Paul Pribbenow as the next president of Augsburg College.

We are confident that Dr. Pribbenow has the vital qualities of leadership and passion needed to continue President Frame's work here at Augsburg. He has already demonstrated that he is an accomplished communicator, a person who can demonstrate his own sense of Christian vocation, a skilled administrator, and a visible leader, actively participating in the life of the campus and surrounding community.
