Teaching and Learning
Electric Bass - MUP 116 / 216 / 316/ 416
Did you know that Augsburg College is the first of its kind in the nation to offer lessons in Electric Bass as a unique "Classical" instrument in addition to its traditional popular music role?
Be one of the first to join this pioneering Auggie program today by enrolling for your first lessons.
Lessons are designed to help students develop solid ergonomic technique which builds strength and stamina; while emphasizing time, rhythm, phrasing, feeling, and tone.
Since the first mass production of the Fender Precision Bass in 1951, the Electric Bass is arguably the single most important contribution to the development of popular music in the mid-late 20th century. Without its invention, Rock and other popular forms never would have evolved the way they did in the 1960s. Today the electric bass is used in a wealth of traditions around the world and benefits from a growing repertoire by classical composers.

Lilly Faculty Development Grant – Apply by Oct. 1
Interested in learning from your colleagues who teach abroad? Curious how to incorporate faith and vocation into your teaching? Please consider applying for the Lilly Faculty Development Grant offered through the Office of International Programs. The purpose of the grant is to provide Augsburg faculty with an opportunity to participate in professional development opportunities at Center for Global Education (CGE) sites that include reflection on faith and vocation in a global context. This can be done in the context of the CGE professional development seminar taking place summer 2009, by participating as a co-leader on an existing Augsburg Abroad faculty-led program to a CGE site, or by attending one of the open trips that CGE advertises.
All Augsburg faculty are eligible, but preference will be given to faculty who have not yet led a study abroad program to a CGE site, but are considering proposing a program. Preference will also be given to faculty in disciplines that are under-represented in study abroad (i.e. science, math).
The grant covers up to $2000 in travel costs per person for three faculty members in the 2009 calendar year. The application is available in the Office of International Programs public file, under "Lilly Funding Applications." The deadline to apply is October 1, 2008.

Recovery Month Tidbits
Why Alcoholics Anonymous Is "Anonymous"
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of A.A. It disciplines the Fellowship to govern itself by principles rather than personalities. We are a society of peers. We strive to make known our program of recovery, not individuals who participate in the program. Anonymity in the public media is assurance to all A.A.s, especially to newcomers, that their A.A. membership will not be disclosed.

Staff $3.75 Lunch
It seems that Sodexo was charging a staff lunch without filling the legal tax required by Minnesota State and federal tax laws. Because as staff we are not tax exempt, we have to be charged the proper .0715 on all purchases causing the $3.50 lunch to become $3.75 with tax. Once again, Augsburg dining would like to apologize to this confusion and would like to thank you for your business. You make us possible.
