Subject: Take the Augsburg Leadership Survey
Submitter: Will O'Berry, Asst. Dir., Campus Activities & Orientation/Coord LGBTQIA Srv, Campus Activities and Orientation

Message: The Augsburg College mission is to “nurture future leaders in service to the world ...” Thus, an Augsburg education asks students to fully explore what kind of persons they will be and how they will live meaningfully in the world. An Augsburg education involves the whole student. Faculty and staff are partners in each student’s education. This holistic approach by Augsburg matches very well with the C. Charles Jackson Foundation's mission and values.

Augsburg received a grant from the Jackson Foundation to support a one-year project to analyze the leadership activities currently in place within the co-curricular program on campus. The key purpose of this project is to review current practices around student leadership development and to determine their consistency with the College’s mission.

Here is your opportunity to be a part of this exciting task by completing this short survey and sharing your experience/involvement with leadership development. Please follow this link to the survey: http://academics.augsburg.edu/surveys/leadership.survey

The records of this study will be kept private. In any sort of report that we might publish, we will not include any information that will make it possible to identify any specific student. Research records will be kept in a secure file on a secure server.

Your decision whether or not to participate will not affect your current or future relationships with Augsburg College. Questions regarding this survey can be directed to Ramon L. Knox, Christensen Center 1B, 612-330-1111.

On behalf of the Augsburg Leadership Committee, we thank you in advance for your assistance. Committee members: Nina Exley, Ann Garvey, Ramon Knox, and Will O’Berry.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (6/9/07) -- Augsburg College wrestling alumnus Mark Simmonds '05 placed fourth in the 120-kilogram (264.5 pounds) Greco-Roman class at the 2007 USA Wrestling Senior World Team Trials, held on Saturday at the Thomas and Mack Center.

Simmonds is a Damage Controlman Third Class (DC3) in the U.S. Navy operating out of the Mayport, Fla., Naval Station, and is a member of the Navy's wrestling team.

In Saturday's challenge rounds, Simmonds opened with a 3-0, 1-4, 1-1 decision win over former Brigham Young University wrestler Brandon Ruiz (Sunkist Kids), then lost a 3-0, 3-0 decision to eventual runner-up Russ Davie (New York Athletic Club), a three-time NCAA Division I tournament qualifier in his collegiate career (Cleveland State, 2000-04). In the consolation semifinals, Simmonds claimed a 5-0, 4-0 decision victory over Kenny Lester (Sunkist Kids), an Arizona State University wrestler who was coming off a title in the 2007 University Nationals. Simmonds finished his competition with a loss in the third-place match 1-1, 4-0 to Timothy Taylor (U.S. Army).

Dremiel Byers (U.S. Army), the 2002 world champion at the weight class, won the competition for the third straight season and seventh time in his career on Saturday, and will represent the United States in the World Championships in September in Baku, Azerbaijan.

A Minneapolis native (Edison HS), Simmonds competed for two seasons at Augsburg (2003-05) after transferring from Southwest State University. He earned All-American honors twice at Augsburg, finishing fourth in the NCAA Division III national tournament at heavyweight in both 2004 and 2005. He also qualified for the Division II national tournament as a freshman at Southwest State in 2001. He finished 102-50 in his collegiate career, including a 68-18 record at Augsburg.

He was a health and physical education major at Augsburg and joined the Navy following his graduation. As a member of the Navy wrestling team, Simmonds finished second in the 120-kilogram Greco-Roman class at the 2007 Armed Forces Championships in Fort Carson, Colo., in March. He went 2-1 in competition at the Armed Forces meet, with his only loss coming to the Army's Beyers.
