Would You Like to be Published?

Do you have an academic paper you're particularly proud of? It might be worth even more than the grade you received. The Augsburg Honors Review wants to publish your work. All you have to do is submit it!

What to Submit:
We will consider papers from all disciplines that successfully articulate an original and compelling thesis.

Why Submit?
Being a published author is one of the best ways to demonstrate your writing skills to graduate schools, professional schools, and employers.

How to Submit:
Please send your work to review@augsburg.edu and include the following information:

-- The first and last names of all authors and faculty advisors,
-- Your anticipated graduation date,
-- A reliable way to contact you other than your college-provided email address,
-- The name of the institution where your research was conducted (if other than Augsburg), and
-- The title of your paper.

We prefer Microsoft Word format (.doc) for all attachments.

The priority deadline to submit your work for the 2010 publication is April 20, 2009.

What is the Augsburg Honors Review?
The Augsburg Honors Review is an interdisciplinary journal exhibiting outstanding work by undergraduate students. The goal of the AHR is to give students the opportunity to participate in scholarly conversations within their disciplines and to expose them to the dialogue between a journal and a contributor in editing an article for publication.

For more information, please contact Shawn Boonstra (boonstra@augsburg.edu).

Donate to Abused Women and Children

For thousands of women and children, home can be frightening, lonely and for many it is a very dangerous place. The Lewis House, located in Eagan, is dedicated to helping these women and children find safety and get them back on their feet. The Lewis House provides shelter, food, daycare and education about safe relationships for women and children who seek their services. To support these women and children, a few students from Augsburg College will be running a donation drive. We will be collecting items from now until the first week in April, at which time we will deliver all donated items to the Lewis House and help pass things out to the women and children.

Items the Lewis House needs are:
bath sized towels
wash cloths
twin size sheets/comforters
pillowcases
diapers
infant formula - all varieties
baby bottles/nipples
craft supplies (markers, crayons, construction paper, special kits)
school supplies (notebooks, folders, back packs)
educational toys, puzzles, videos and learning games
toothbrushes/toothpaste/floss
old cell phones with chargers
women and youth clothing (any age, gently used or new)

We will be setting up a table in Christensen to collect items and will be available to answer any questions a few times in the coming weeks. People can also drop off items at the Enrollment Center.

Please contact Ashle with questions at neunsing@augsburg.edu.

Farmers' Market on Campus

The Campus Kitchen Project is working to organize a weekly farmers' market to happen for a few hours each week on campus, to be run in conjunction with the Brian Coyle Foodshelf Farmers' Market. In order to make it a market that will work for you (in terms of time/location), please follow the link and answer the couple questions we have.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=iIU2zseDWkOrGJudK0lopA_3d_3d

Also, Augsburg will continue to be a host for Community Supported Agriculture shares, where you become a member of a farm who delivers a 20-25 lb box of produce each week through out the summer. If that system works better for you (or you're up to the challenge of working with unfamiliar produce), please let me know. Thanks!

Last Day of Ultimate Frisbee TODAY

A group of staff, faculty, and an increasingly more aggressive crew of students have been playing ultimate frisbee underneath the dome every Tuesday. Today's the last day, and with the students gone we 1) will have a much more relaxed game, and 2) we need everyone possible on the field so we have a good number of folks to play. We hope to see you there!

$1200 out of $3000

It takes approximately $12,000 worth of food to fulfill the minimum needs of the Brian Coyle Food Shelf to provide to our neighbors in need. With March being National Food Drive month, we have set a goal of collecting $3,000 during this month to allow the food shelf to do what they need. Every $1 in the hand of the food shelf is worth $4 in control of the food shelf, as they can take advantage of bulk buying programs.

So at $1200 collected so far, we're moving towards the goal of $3,000 that will purchase the $12,000 worth of food. You can contribute at any Augsburg Dining cash register (and earn a coupon in return) or send cash or a check out to 'Brian Coyle Foodshelf' to The Center for Service Work and Learning, CB 310. Thank you for whatever you give.
