Subject: New Faculty and Staff Dinner Invitation
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message: TO: Augsburg College New Faculty and Staff

FROM: Carol Knicker, Assistant Director, Center for Teaching and Learning

RE: Campus Connections Dinner

If you were able to attend orientation earlier in the week, we wanted to thank you for your presence. We realize you were given quite a bit of information in a short amount of time and we are appreciative of your attention. However, that was just the beginning of your orientation to Augsburg, and there will be other events throughout the year to which you will be invited.

The Augsburg Paideia Seminar for New Faculty begins on the 14th. The Campus Connections will have its first meeting on the 22nd at noon in the Minneapolis Room.

Prior to that gathering, we are inviting you to a dinner at St. Martin's Table on Thursday the 7th of September from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. St. Martin's is an easy walk from campus as it is located a 2001 Riverside Avenue. The evening will be a chance to socialize with your colleagues and resume friendships you might have begun at the orientation. Dinner will be simple; soup and salad accompanied by St. Martin's wonderful bread. We hope the evening will be a relaxing time after the first few hectic days of students arriving and classes beginning.

So that we may give St. Martin's an accurate count of how much food to prepare
please RSVP to Terry Martin (martin@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1229) by Wednesday the 7th.

Message: If you are working with the CLASS office or the Access Center, you need to meet with us to get your accommodations and meetings set up for the semester. You need to meet with your specialist EVERY SEMESTER if you want to access accommodations.

If you are a new student who has a disability and you haven't yet contacted CLASS or Access, please contact us as soon as possible.

Subject: FACULTY: The letters students give you from CLASS & Access
Submitter: Regina Hopingardner, Administrative Assistant, CLASS Program

Message: Students will be letting you know that they work with either the CLASS Office or the Access Center by giving you a letter to sign. It does actually contain vital information. The main thing to look at is the accommodations section which lists those academic accommodations that a student is eligible for. The back of the letter also has details about the procedure faculty should follow when a student is taking a test in the Groves Lab.

When a student gives you one of these letters, please sign it and keep the white copy for your records. Students can only take their tests with us if they give you the letter and return the signed yellow copy to us--and then fill out a proctor request form for each test.

If you have any questions, please call us at x1053. We have more faculty information at: http://www.augsburg.edu/classprogram/faculty.html
