Subject: Conversation on Vocation: Art, Truth, and Politics
Submitter: Douglas E Green, Professor, English

Message: At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, 5 April 2006, in OM 18, ENG 480: Theory and Criticism is hosting a Critical Conversation on Vocation focused on dramatist Harold Pinter's Nobel Lecture: "Art, Truth, and Politics." In preparation for our 90-minute discussion (we have more time than that if we need to run over), we would like participants to go to www.nobelprize.org, to watch the 46-minute video of the speech, and, if they like, to download and printout the text of the speech. Watching the video is a powerful experience, because Pinter has 'engineered' his performance. While we might see a bit of the video to start, we don't want to rely on the internet stream when we gather. Everyone interested and able to come is welcome; if you have questions or plan to bring a class or small group, please contact Doug Green (x1187, green@augsburg.edu).

Subject: New Process for 2006-07 Financial Aid Awards
Submitter: Shana Erickson, Assistant Director, Student Financial Services, Enrollment Center

Message: The Enrollment Center is pleased to introduce a new way for you to see your financial aid award letter for the 2006-07 school year. You will receive notice of your award as follows:

1. After we have received all of your application materials (which are due April 15th, 2006) and you have been awarded, you will receive an email on your Augsburg account that will direct you to the Enrollment Center's website.

2. On that site, you will be asked to log-in using your AugNet username and password.

3. After successful log-in, you will have the ability to see your financial aid award information, specifically broken down by term. You will also have the ability to view both documents we have received, and those that our office still needs you to submit. In addition, we will provide directions and links to apply for loans, and you will also be able to see messages specific to your award. As the year progresses, we expect to add the ability to track your loan status through this on-line database.

We are confident you will find this process user friendly and much better than the paper process of past years. You will have quicker access to your award information, and it is more secure since nothing is sent through the mail. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR AUGSBURG E-MAIL ACCOUNT OFTEN, EVEN THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. If you have any questions about this new process, please don't hesitant to contact the Enrollment Center: (612) 330-1046 or enroll@augsburg.edu.
