Performance Appraisal Form and Training Sessions
Submitter:
Cynthia J Greenwood, Director, Human Resources, Human Resources
Message:
Last fall HR held a series of open forums on the topic of work culture. One of the issues discussed was the performance appraisal form and process. We've listened to your feedback and are pleased to present a new staff performance appraisal form that is simplified and more flexible, yet captures performance, achievement, and development information.
Please join us for an opportunity to see the new form and learn about the new process and a new way of thinking about performance management.
As a supervisor, you will discover how to use the performance appraisal process to motivate and achieve top performance from your employees.
As an employee, you will discover how to use the performance appraisal process to highlight your achievements and plan for future projects and professional development.
Completed performance appraisals, using the new form, will be due in Human Resources for all staff employees on October 31, 2006.
Please join us at one of the following sessions:

Bohemian Flats Celebration!

Second Annual Bohemian Flats Day Celebrates Forgotten Minneapolis Community
Minneapolis, August 19th, 2006 noon-5 p.m.
Bohemian Flats Park on the Mississippi River
2100 West River Parkway
(beneath the Washington Ave. Bridge)
The 2nd Annual Bohemian Flats Day celebrates on the historic site of the old Bohemian Flats, also known as Brewery Flats, Danish Flats, and Slovak Flats. This is an area beneath the Washington Avenue Bridge where many immigrants thrived from the early 1860s to 1932, when the last flats resident was carried away.
We don't want this to be another heritage festival. We want to remember the Bohemian Flats and its residents, but we also want to talk about the American immigrant experience in general. We would like to distinguish ourselves as a festival that uses art to interpret immigration and find artists and creative Bohemian types that explore topics such as sense of loss, displacement, adjustment, alienation, creative living and culture clashes,ä said the organizers.
At 2 p.m., the Slovak Lipa dancers will perform in traditional costumes, and many of the former Flats residents are invited to speak about their experiences of living on the Flats. The Bohemian Flats Day organizers are still looking for interested participants and vendors who would like to display their art, sell food, and perform.
***Volunteers are needed for a variety of positions that day.
If you are interested, please contact Mary Laurel True, truem@augsburg.edu.

Student Writing Contest - $150 in gift card prizes
Submitter:
Melissa M Bawek, Assistant Director of the Augsburg Fund, Development
Message:
We need YOUR Augsburg story!
Do you know that scholarships awarded to students are funded in part by the generosity of alumni and benefactors of the college? Do you know that tuition does not cover the complete costs of an Augsburg education and college experience? Do you know where those critical dollars are found?
The answer is The Augsburg Fund. Every year The Augsburg Fund reaches out to alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of the college to ask for their help in supporting Augsburg. From scholarships, to the new Si Melby addition and Gateway building, to renovations and campus repairs, donors to The Augsburg Fund are there to help.
But why do they give? Because of YOU the students, and they want to hear your Augsburg story!
The annual fund is looking for your inspiring student Augsburg story to share with our donors. As such, we are conducting a writing contest to solicit your Augsburg story. This writing competition will offer one first-place prize, and ten runner-up selections. Here are the guidelines:
*Maximum of 500 words.
*The writer of the story chosen must be willing to work with our editorial guidance in creating an appeal for our audience.
*The ãfirst-placeä story chosen will receive a $50 gift card to Target, and will be the signator of our Fall 2006 annual fund appeal.
*Runner-up stories will receive a $10 gift card to Target, and will be used for monthly communications to our donors.
*A picture of the writer and their signature will accompany the story.
*Deadline to submit your work: Please email your story to Melissa Bawek at bawek@augsburg.edu by 12:00 Noon on Friday, August 25th.
*Open to current, enrolled Augsburg students only.
*Winners will be announced by September 5, 2006.
Please contact Melissa Bawek if you have any questions either at 612-338-4819 or bawek@augsburg.edu
