Teaching and Learning
January is Mentoring Month
"As we explore critical features of young adult development, it is vital that we learn to do so with an eye to both venturing and dwelling. If we understand human development not simply as departures and arrivals but also as transformations in the meaning of home, then the young adults with whom we have the privilege of making meaning may become more viably at home in the universe. If we accompany them well, they may grace us all by becoming citizen-leaders, adults who can both belong and distinguish themselves, connect and separate, venture and dwell. To be good company, we need to understand the transformations in thinking, feeling, and belonging that are embedded in the promise of young adult lives."

Submission of Timesheets and Absence Reports
To ensure that the vacation and sick carryover balances are correct for all employees as we process the January payroll, we ask that all staff submit any timesheets or absence reports from 2007 that have not already been turned in. The deadline for these forms is January 15 in order for us to complete all the data entry in time for processing payroll.
As a general reminder, for non-exempt staff, monthly timesheets are due in HR three days after the end of the month that the timesheet covers. For exempt staff, absence reports can be turned in as days are taken, or can be turned in at the end of each month. Ideally, any time off taken during the month should be turned in not later than the 10th of the next month to Human Resources. If your absences occur over more than one month, please complete one report for each month.
Thank you!

Focus the Nation Update
The Focus the Nation teach-in is still accepting presenters and looking for professors to commit to bringing their classes to the sessions. Please contact Halen Bower (bower@augsburg.edu) as soon as possible if you are interested.
FOCUS THE NATION: THE TEACH-IN
Jan. 31, 2008
The primary goals of Focus The Nation
The primary goal of FTN: Augsburg College is to educate the Augsburg community for individual action and build momentum for permanent environmental conscious practices and institutional actions. This includes:
- sustainable energy
- zero-waste management systems
- consumption awareness
- following the President’s Climate Commitment
***Augsburg College Focus The Nation Teach-in Model
Faculty participation across the curriculum is critical to building a teach-in that engages thousands or even tens of thousands of students on campuses across the country. In the model below, faculty are asked to present for only 10 minutes about topics related to CLIMATE CHANGE from the perspective of their discipline.
***Critical Information:
- Presenters: Submit presentation request to Halen Bower at bower@augsburg.edu for the Priority Deadline: Dec. 20, 2007
- Final date to submit presentation request is Jan. 11th, 2008.
- E-mail Halen Bower with Name, identify yourself as a professor, staff, alumni, student, etc.. If a professor, clearly indicate your commitment to bringing your Thursday class or not. If bring your class, how many students are enrolled. What time you would like to present at. Lastly, your presentation’s subject title.
***Who is able to give a presentation?
Any member of the Augsburg community including alumni, students, faculty, and staff are able to give a presentation. Preference is given to professors commit to a presentation during their Thursday course and bring their classes to a session. Student(s) from a class are able to participate as well. Students must gain the professors permission to move the class to the session location. Professors who sponsor a student presentation must e-mail Halen Bower at bower@augsburg.edu to confirm the student’s arrangement. Alumni and staff are also able to present. Those who do not bring a class are given second priority. However, do not be discouraged, the FTN Recruitment Committee is coordinating all teach in requests and wants to hear from every willing member of the Augsburg community.
***Who is going to attend the teach-in? Every session is open to the public!
- Three presenters per 1.5 hour session
- Students from presenting professors’ classes
- Professors, who are not presenting, but brought their classes
- Any Augsburg community member interested in attending this advertised session
***What will a presenter do? (Preference afforded to professors bringing their class)
- Provide a 10-minute presentation on how your subject would approach issues concerning climate change.
- Twenty minute discussion follows presentation guided by open ended questions
- Professors are encouraged to provide questions related to their presentation
- The organizers formed these three questions to be asked:
• Do you know what Augsburg is doing to be green? (Proposed by first session’s professor)
• What can individuals do to make a difference? (Proposed by second prof.)
• Third professor hands out “What are you willing to do?” sheet listing options for students to circle. (More information to come as FTN Finance Committee continues its investigatory efforts!)
***Where are these presentations going to be located?
This schedule permits for 15 presentations. FTN organizers are working to obtain more locations to provide such as SCI 123 and Old Main 18. Again, professors who are willing to present and bring their class are given priority. We are attempting to educate as many people as possible.
- Sateren Theater:
> 8 - 9:30 a.m. Session 1
> 9:40 - 11:10 a.m. Session 2
- Chapel: Mini-Convocation (Special treat to come)
- East Commons
> 11:50 a.m. -1:20 p.m. Session 3
> 1:30 - 3 p.m. Session 4
> 3:10 - 4:40 p.m. Session 5
Other locations are to be announced as more presenters request a time. The FTN organizers wish to, at least, fill the 15 available spots in Sateren and East Commons first with presenting professors, who bring their Thursday class, from a variety of disciplines. After these slots are filled, other sessions will be held in other locations around campus. A schedule of presenters will be used for advertising Focus The Nation. Therefore, if you want to present, but are not a professor with a Thursday class to bring, submit a request anyway! More the merrier!

MINNEAPOLIS (1/7/08) -- Augsburg College men's hockey forward Chris Johnson (SO, Verona, Wis./Madison Memorial HS) was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Men's Hockey Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday.
Johnson was honored for his performance in Augsburg's first victory of the season, a 7-3 home triumph over Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Saturday. Johnson recorded his second collegiate hat trick with a three-goal, one-assist night in the win over the Blugolds. Two of his goals were power-play markers. The goals were Johnson's first three goals of the season, and he has nine points (three goals, six assists) on the year.
On Thursday night, Johnson scored a second-period power-play goal and assisted on another power-play marker, as the Auggies topped the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology 2-1 in an exhibition contest, the lone loss suffered by SAIT in its three-game trip to the Upper Midwest (SAIT beat Wisconsin-Stout 5-1 on Friday and St. Thomas 5-3 on Saturday).
In his two seasons at Augsburg (39 games), Johnson has 11 goals and 17 assists for 28 career points. Johnson was fifth among MIAC first-year players in overall scoring last season (eight goals, 11 assists, 19 points).
Augsburg, now 1-10-2 overall, has two nonconference games this weekend, playing at Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Friday (1/11) at 7:05 p.m. and at Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Saturday (1/12) at 7:30 p.m.
