Syllabus Workshop Tomorrow
Do students often ask this and other questions in your class? While these questions can't be eliminated, they can be reduced by having clear and well-written syllabi.
The Center for Teaching and Learning will be offering two sessions of a syllabus writing workshop taught by Diane Pike. The two sessions will be offered in Lindell 202 on:
Thursday May 14 from 9-11
Wednesday, May 27 from 3-5.

Richard J. Thoni Award Nominations Due Friday
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 Develop.m.ent, 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.
Frame of Mind
Faculty and staff are invited to a Frame of Mind event at Augsburg House on Wednesday, June 17, 5:15-7:30 p.m., for a discussion of "The End of White America?" from the January/February issue of Atlantic Monthly. A light supper will be served.
Because this is a discussion, the group will be limited to 20 participants. Sign up soon by calling Barb Gaiser at x1212, or emailing gaiser@augsburg.edu.

Everyone Deserves a Lifetime--Donate Today
Please support me in solidarity with Jessica Nathanson, Kristin Anderson, and many other Auggies, as I walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. On the weekend of August 21-23, thousands of women and men will unite and walk 60 miles through the Twin Cities. The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a weekend of hope, as we honor lives lost, celebrate survivors, promote breast cancer research and help bring breast cancer care to those who so desperately need it.
The support that the Augsburg campus has shown thus far has been outstanding! Together, we have raised $1,345.01 and counting! I have a goal of $2,300 to reach before August! Would you consider donating $20 today?
Net proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Day benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure to fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs, as well as the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, which provides an endowment for breast cancer initiatives.
Please read my story and consider donating at: http://www.the3day.org/goto/emilyrandall
