Fulbright Occasional Lecturer Webinar
Webinar scheduled for Wednesday, December 2, 2009, from 2 – 3 p.m. EST: Opportunities for Institutions: The Occasional Lecturer Fund.
This webinar will explore the Occasional Lecturer Fund (OLF), which enables Fulbright Visiting Scholars, who are currently in the U.S., to accept short guest lecturing invitations at colleges and universities. Through OLF, visiting scholars may offer department- or campus-wide lectures for students or faculty, participate in informal gatherings of students and faculty or hold meetings with community organizations or religious groups. This is a great way to have interesting people on campus, and to build or enhance our connections with foreign colleagues and institutions that might set the stage for larger programmatic initiatives. Please let me know if you would like to participate in this webinar. Carol Forbes --- forbes@augsburg.edu

Holiday Food, Clothing, and Toy Drive
Omicron Delta plans to take on the task of raising food, funds, clothing and toys for local food shelves this holiday season. Through the wonderful resource of Second Harvest Heartland, we are able to have our own fund raising website! Second Harvest Heartland is serving as a facilitator for this fund raiser. Our food donations will be hand delivered by Omicron Delta members directly to the community shelves we have collectively selected.
This is really wonderful, as one of our goals for this fund raiser was to donate to those food shelves serving the "in between" population, i.e. those that make too much to qualify for a lot of resources and that make too little to have everything they need for the holidays, as well as food shelves really struggling to provide this year given the state of the economy and the higher usage by this "in-between" population.
Members of the Augsburg community, we would like to invite you to help us with this fund raiser by donating what you can this holiday season! Also, feel free to forward this to other people you may know who may like to help us out with this food drive as well. Our first priority is food, clothing and toys, but if you or someone you know would like to contribute, but is unable to dropoff a donation on campus, there is a monetary donation option on the website as well.
Here is our link: http://www.2harvest.org/goto/omicronaugsburg
On the site you will find a listing of items needed and contact info for setting up a donation drop off.
We will be tabling November 30th through December 2nd in Christensen Center to take donations, as well as provide information for other donation drop-off options.
THANK YOU so much for your time and efforts!
