A task force on this issue will meet Thursday, Nov. 4, 1:30-2:30 pm Century Room (Christensen Center). All are welcome to attend.

We want to start involving the campus in this conversation. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey:

Thru Another's Lens - Wed. November 3

The Luther Hall/Oren Gateway Center (LOGC) ResLife Staff and the Department of Residence Life is beginning a safe dialogue series for community members with the goals of (1) creating awareness and knowledge around issues of human diversity and (2) contemplating how students, staff, and faculty can take action for social justice within their own communities and in the world. This series is entitled "Thru Another's Lens."

There will be 7 sessions in this series with one taking place approximately each month from November to April. The series will be one of single-issue focus, meaning a particular session will focus on oppression dynamics in one of the following social identity categories: class, disability/nondisability, gender, race & ethnicity, religious/spiritual identities, and sexual orientation.

The kick off to this series will occur on Wednesday, November 3 at 6:30 p.m. in Oren Gateway 100. This first session will look to develop a common conceptual understanding of oppression dynamics, broadly, allowing the series to take single-issue focus for the rest of the academic year. Basically, the first session on November 3 will set a foundation for continued conversations; however, please keep in mind that this series is constructed so that people can come to sessions of interest and not others.

So, if you want to join a discussion where you will leave with some tangible takeaways that you can apply, then come join us!

If you have any questions, please contact Will O'Berry at oberry@augsburg.edu or a member of the LOGC ResLife Staff.

Free sunglasses as well as dessert will be provided for attendees!
