CSA, Farmers Market, Community Garden

The garden has things sprouting all over, and it's clear that fresh food is almost here. Here's how to connect to it this summer at Augsburg:

1) CSA - We're a drop off site for The Ploughshare Farm's Community Supported Agriculture program. Become a member and pay at the beginning of the season, and have fresh veggies delivered each week until October. They'll be delivered Thursday mornings to the Christensen Center. For more info and to sign up, go to http://www.ploughsharefarm.com/

2) Farmers Market - Augsburg will host a small market with 3-4 vendors each Tuesday from 2-5 on the sidewalk leading up the Foss Chapel. This will begin the first week of July.

3) Bruce Rowe, Arly Madigan, and the grounds crew will be helping add 16-24 new plots to the community garden next week. Let me know if you're still interested in a spot.

Richard J. Thoni Award Nominations

Richard J. Thoni Award Nominations

Submitted by Jessica Fox-Wilson, Augsburg for Adults Coordinator, Augsburg for Adults
Faculty are asked to nominate a graduating senior for the Richard J. Thoni Award by May 15, 2009. This award honors a graduating senior student from the Weekend College (Twin Cities or Rochester) whose actions, commitments, and future aspirations most profoundly demonstrate a commitment to Augsburg's motto of "Education for Service."

In making a nomination, faculty should provide their name and the name of the student they are nominating, and write a nomination entry including a response to the following questions:
1. As you consider the nominee's time at Augsburg, describe ways in which s/he has been called to service and how s/he has acted on this call.
2. As you consider the nominee's future aspirations, describe how the nominee's education as an adult learner will shape his/her service to others, in one or many roles (community member, parent, employee, citizen, etc.).

Please forward nominations to Jessica Fox-Wilson, CB65, Oren Gateway Center, Suite 115, or foxwilso@augsburg.edu

The Richard J. Thoni Award

Richard J. Thoni (known to most of us as "Rick") came to Augsburg College in 1972. He spent the first part of his career at Augsburg working as a part-time psychology professor and counselor in the Office of Student Affairs, but Rick's role and impact evolved with time. Rick has served the Augsburg community as the Associate Dean of Students, the Acting Vice President of Student Affairs, the Vice President for Research and Development, the Vice President for Enrollment Management, the Director of the Weekend College program, and most recently, the Director of the Rochester Program.

Rick led a committed group of individuals who shared their knowledge and skills to found the Weekend College in 1982. The program, which began with sixty-nine students, soared to 1260 students in less than ten years. Today, the Weekend College is a signature academic program of Augsburg, educating adult students who wish to complete undergraduate degrees. Rick also played an instrumental role in establishing the Rochester Program, and served as the program's director until his retirement in 2007. It is fitting that we as a college community pay tribute to Rick Thoni as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Weekend College Program. For his 35 years of devoted work and leadership to Augsburg and the communities it serves, we give thanks.

In recognition of Rick's commitment and service to the College, I am pleased to formally announce the establishment of an award that will be given annually to a graduate of the Weekend College program. The formal text of the award reads as follows:

Established in 2007 to honor the retirement of Richard J. Thoni, whose professional work at Augsburg and commitment to its students exemplified Augsburg's mission. The Richard J. Thoni Award is an annual award honoring a graduating senior student from the Weekend College whose actions, commitments, and future aspirations most profoundly demonstrate a commitment to Augsburg's motto of "Education for Service."

The recipient of the Richard J. Thoni Award will be nominated by the staff and faculty who work with the Weekend College program. A committee appointed by the President of the College will review nominations and meet with the President to determine the award winner. The award (including a plaque and honorarium) will be announced on an annual basis at the Weekend College commencement.

Payroll Notice Regarding Campus Beautification Day

We want to take the time to clarify the recent message regarding the Campus Beautification Day on June 5th and try to answer questions that may come up about how to indicate this day on time sheets or absence reports.

This is considered a day of work if you are normally scheduled to work that day; however, anyone taking the day off and not participating in the Campus Beautification Day will need to use benefit time and indicate such on their time sheet or absence report.

We hope many employees are able to participate and enjoy this time working and socializing together.

Have a great summer!
