Community Organizing -- Telling Your Story, Nov. 20

All student leaders, activists, and allies are invited to a session in one of the skills needed for faith-based community organizing; I Love to Tell the Story. Stories are very powerful vehicles for transmitting moral or practical points, for revealing our moral values and for engaging others in causes important to us. But, powerful as stories are on their own, they benefit from being told in a way that increases their impact.

A public story links how you became the person you are, how the community or organization you are part of came to be, the people they are, and the challenges–choices–outcomes facing those people, that community, to achieve their goals. Intuitive as this may sound since it starts with something we are all experts on (ourselves), doing it requires training and practice to arrive at stories that are specific, are only sufficiently detailed for understanding, that tap into emotion, include challenges-choices-outcomes, offer hope and communicate our values.

Also part of the training is how to listen, how to help others hone their stories down so the story connects the dots. In this way, not only are you trained to have the stories you tell have the impact you desire, you are trained to help others achieve the same skill. Active listening and good coaching are important in this regard.

This strategy has been used successfully by Lutherans Concerned/North America in their work for full inclusion of LGBT people in the Lutheran Church. Come to train with Emily Eastwood, Executive Director of Lutherans Concerned/North America. This will be a practical workshop, where people will practice telling their story with a partner and for a group.

Come and join us on Thursday, November 20 at 5:30 p.m. in the Century Room (note room change). Email questions to murray@augsburg.edu.

Students Leave for School of the Americas on Nov. 21

40 Augsburg Students and two staff members from CSWL will depart Friday morning at 8 am from the Foss Center to travel to Columbus, Georgia to attend the School of the Americas Protest. The protest seeks to close the School of the Americas (SOA). The SOA has trained over 64,000 Latin American soldiers in courses such as counterinsurgency, psychological warfare, and interrogation tactics. Graduates of the school have been consistently linked to human rights violations and to the suppression of popular movements in the Americas.

Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, "disappeared", massacred, and forced into refuge by those trained at the SOA.

Please come to send off students taking this trip this Friday morning at 8 am. There will also be a send off at the end of Wednesday's Chapel.

Wendell (JR, Princeton, Minn./Charles M. Russell (Mont.) HS) earned All-MIAC honorable-mention recognition, it was announced on Monday.

For See, the honor marks his third straight entry on the All-MIAC first team, while it's Hildebrandt's second all-conference honor, after earning All-MIAC honorable-mention honors in 2006. Hildebrandt was also named to the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team.

Both Loyd and Wendell earned their first all-conference honors with the All-MIAC honorable-mention recognition. Loyd is one of just four first-year students among the 37 athletes selected to the All-MIAC first-team and honorable-mention squads. A defender, he has started 21 of 22 games, with two goals and one assist for five points.
