Paideia Institute

Are you interested in improving discussions in your classes or wondered how to conduct Socratic seminars? If so, you are invited to attend the Augsburg Paideia Institute's 19th annual summer institute June 23-27. The fee for faculty is $400, and if you haven't used your dean's fund this year this would be a good opportunity to do so.

Ultimate Frisbee--Faculty and Staff

You've probably been anxious to join the faculty and staff frisbee games. Have you wondered if you would be welcome? Were you concerned your frisbee handling skills would not be good enough?

Have no fear. We love it when new people join us, and I can't even throw straight. Never once has anyone complained.

Tuesday May 13, 20 and 27 we play on the field at noon.

New players -- skilled and less skilled -- are always welcome.

Transition from Sodexho to A'viands

Use them or lose them!

As we transition from Sodexho to A'viands for campus dining services, we want to communicate some changes that will affect our community. On May 31, 2008 all Sodexho gift cards, coffee cards, and points on board plans will expire. Although this is unfortunate, the good news is that you have the month of May to use up anything you have left. So say thank you to someone by buying them a cup of coffee or a smoothie.
