iTerm: Now Open to ALL Students
Augsburg's innovative course, iTerm: Fate of the Earth 101, is now, by popular demand, OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS! We'd love for you to join us.
Here's the quick overview of what to expect:
Creative course delivery! Guest speakers! Film series! Off-site experiences! Students and professors learn from each other, choosing the books and designing the curriculum together. Final projects address real life problems and are presented to people who can make a difference.
The iTerm counts for 3 out of 4 academic credits for the student's entire semester. Rather than traditional grades, professors provide students with a narrative evaluation.
The iTerm (Integrated Term) offers the following credits:
HIS 101 (Humanities LAF, if needed)
SOC 121 (Social/Behavioral Sciences LAF, if needed)
ENL 101, 111 or 220 (depending on need)
Questions? Contact any of the iTerm professors for more information:

Menand Reading Group
Several faculty and staff are planning to read and discuss the well-received book on higher education by scholar and essayist Louis Menand: The Marketplace of Ideas. All faculty and staff are invited to join us. Here's how:
Copies of Menand's The Marketplace of Ideas are available at the CTL desk. The book is short and should be easy to read over the summer. The stipulation: Taking a copy obligates you to attend at least two of four discussion sessions Doug Green will organize in the fall. For further information, contact Doug Green <green@augsburg.edu>. To get your copy, sign for it with Terry Martin at CTL <martin@augsburg.edu>.

Grade Due Dates
Spring Rochester grades are due Friday, 2 Jul.
Spring WEC/Grad grades are due Friday, 9 Jul.
SSI grades are due Monday, 12 Jul.
Grading information can be found through the following link:
http://www.augsburg.edu/registrar/gradeentry.html
Timely grade submission is important to our students. Most of our WEC and Grad students are on company reimbursement and work under time lines for submitting their tuition claim (which requires a grade for the course). Many of our Day students are dependent on scholarships which require graded coursework for continuance or for application for new monies. Thank you for your efforts to support our students.

We have been notified that Augsburg Fortress will no longer be automatically sending out their little red appointment books. If you wish to order one for 2010-11, you will need to go to www.augsburgfortress.org. Orders must be received by July 31.
Payroll - Documenting Holiday Hours
Dr. Paul Pribbenow has graciously proclaimed July 2, 2010, as an additional paid holiday. This applies to all non-union benefits eligible employees, both exempt and non-exempt. This is in addition to the July 5, 2010 scheduled holiday for Independence Day.
To indicate these days off and to be ensured payment for the day, please indicate the number of hours to be paid, prorated for those working less than 1.0 FTE, with the code PH (Presidents Holiday) on July 2 and with the code H (July 4th Holiday) on July 5. This is to be done on timesheets or absence reports, depending on which the employee is required to complete.
If a supervisor feels it is necessary for an employee to work on July 2, please make arrangements with the employee to take another day off the next week and mark it as PH in the same manner noted above.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
Have a safe and happy long Fourth of July weekend!!
