Call for Proposals: Creating an Inclusive Campus

Creating an Inclusive Campus is an Augsburg conference (previously known as the Diversity and Global Learning conference) intended to address both the breadth and depth of issues related to diversity and global learning and make our mission of intentional diversity a living one. The conference will be held May 9-11, and is co-sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Office of International Programs, General Education, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Human Resources, and is designed for Augsburg faculty, staff, and administrators.

Your collaboration, as a session facilitator or participant, is essential for creating a meaningful conference. This year's conference will have three program tracks with six sessions of 90-minutes each. It is possible to request two consecutive sessions, if needed, We are seeking thought-provoking proposals for each of these tracks. Sessions are expected to be highly interactive, and involve some form of self-reflection or application.

This year's opening session will focus on the challenges faced by students of different sexual orientations and gender identities, and what we can do to better include them in the Augsburg campus community. This session is being organized by Michael Grewe.
Engaging All Students

This track is intended to help faculty and staff understand how to create an inclusive learning community that values all of its members. It includes discussions of teaching, advising, and coaching skills, and dialogues about specific differences and how they impact a sense of inclusiveness. It may include topics such as:

• Culturally Inclusive Pedagogy and Differentiated Instruction
• AVID Strategies for Engagement and Inclusiveness
• Differences in College Readiness
• Ethnically Diverse Students
• Low Income and First Generation Students
• Students with Disabilities
• Generational Differences Among Faculty and Students
• Religiously Diverse Students
• Gender and Sexism
• Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
• Veterans and Students in the Military
• Students Dealing with Addiction
• Politically Diverse Students
• Undocumented Students
• International Students
• ESL Students
• Graduate Students
• Weekend and Non-Traditional Students
• Academic Advising and Skills Coaching

We are especially interested in sessions that clarify the challenges represented by differences and strategies to help students succeed and feel included as part of the Augsburg community. Student panelists or facilitators are also welcome.

This track will be hosted by Cari Maguire and Ali Pickens.
Embedding Diversity and Global Learning

This track focuses on Augsburg's Model of Diversity and Global Learning and how it is being used to help embed diversity and global learning in the curriculum and co-curriculum. It may include topics such as:

• Understanding Augsburg's Model of Diversity and Global Learning
• Developing Personal Competence – use of the Intercultural Development Inventory and other self-awareness tools to better understand oneself and how self-identity affects perceptions and interactions with others
• Developing Interpersonal Competence – use of intergroup dialogue, listening skills, deliberative practice, and other communication processes to develop empathy and improve relations with others
• Developing Intercultural Competence – use of cultural immersion and other experiences to develop a better understanding of other cultures and how to develop meaningful intercultural relationships
• Developing Contextual Competence – use of history and literature to clarify perspectives on issues such as colonialism, globalization, immigration, white privilege, power, and racism to understand social injustice, war, and poverty; and how to address these issues

We are especially interested in sessions that clarify how these competencies are being applied to develop student capabilities. We welcome specific examples from both curricular and co-curricular work.

This track will be hosted by Emiliano Chagil and Matt Marrugi.

Developing Our Community

This track is intended to feature examples of ways departments, programs, and cross-functional groups have worked together to gather input and implement strategies to foster community engagement and inclusiveness, and work toward social justice and equity. Initiatives in our residence halls, our classrooms, student organizations, departments, and across the campus are all . It may include topics such as:

• Assessing How Inclusive We Are - what we've learned from using models, tools, and instruments to assess where we are individually and collectively
• Recruiting Diverse Faculty, Staff, and Students - what we've learned from our attempts to use different recruitment strategies to attract and select more diverse faculty, staff, and students
• Retaining Diverse Faculty, Staff, and Students – what we've learned about engaging, mentoring, and developing diverse faculty, staff, and students
• Confronting Isms and Bullying – what we've learned about addressing prejudice and hate of any form, and what we're doing to prevent it
• Developing Ourselves – what we've learned from attempts to develop our own capabilities to create an inclusive campus (e.g., anti-racism groups, Ally training, cultural celebration weeks, intergroup dialogues, service learning)

We are especially interested in what we've learned from specific initiatives to develop ourselves, but also welcome ideas about what we could do. Workshops designed to develop our own capabilities (e.g., intercultural development, intercultural conflict styles, strengths-based leadership, values clarification) are also invited.

This track will be hosted by Laura Boisen and James Trelstad-Porter.

Submitting a Proposal
If you would like to lead a session, please submit a proposal to Velma Lashbrook (lashbroo@augsburg.edu) by Sunday, April 17. In your proposal, please include: a title for your session, the names and departments of facilitators, a 150-250 word description of the session and intended outcomes (that can be used in the program), and the target audience (faculty, staff, and/or administrators).

Scholarly Writing Retreat

Dunrovin Retreat Center, May 16-18, 2011

The Center for Teaching and Learning invites faculty to participate in the second annual Scholarly Writing Retreat at Dunrovin. The retreat gives scholars time and space to work on scholarship, undistracted by meetings, classes, or even children and family responsibilities. Last year, many participants came specifically to plan an approach to a new project; it was an opportunity to focus new ideas so that participants could spend the summer further developing these projects. And for some, it was a chance to finish articles that they had been working on during the year; one person, for example, used the time to complete a piece for publication.

Comments from last year's attendees:

"I can honestly say that I was able to get more quality writing done in the 48 hrs. we were there than any time since my sabbatical."
"The group that went to Dunrovin was wonderfully supportive of each other, and the environment seemed to make everyone's work productive."

The retreat will take place Monday, May 16 at 10 am through Wednesday, May 18 at 3pm. There are 15 openings. First come, first served - those who attended last year are welcome to sign up again. There will be no charge for participants. Please email hedstrom@augsburg.edu to sign up.

Portfolio Workshop

For Faculty Preparing for CTP Reviews
May 13, 9:00-3:00 pm, OGC 100

The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates for any type of Committee on Tenure and Promotion (CTP) review to determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Faculty Handbook language as it applies to an individual. It does not represent the views of the CTP committee; rather, this is a long standing CTL workshop to help support candidates' preparation and is one that many colleagues have found useful. The workshop is facilitated by Diane Pike and Su Doree. Participants are encouraged to form groups to review each other's portfolio materials and provide feedback and support following the workshop.

If you plan to attend this session, please rsvp to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu)

Looking for Volunteers for Earth Day Event

Want to get your hands dirty for Earth Day? The Environmental Stewardship Committee is looking for volunteers to help with the 2011 trash audit on Thursday, April 21, from 3:30-5:30pm. You might be surprised by how much of what goes into the trash is actually recyclable or compostable. The trash audit helps the school determine the success of our organics collection and recycling programs and figure out where improvements can be made.

Participating in the trash audit would consist of sorting through a week's worth of waste to separate recyclables and organics from the trash and weighing the contents to determine the percentage of each type of material (gloves are provided!). Come and help us as we work to cut Augsburg's waste, and have fun getting messy with other students who care.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Renee Van Siclen at vansicle@augsburg.edu.

Campus Transportation Survey - Respond TODAY

Throughout the week of April 11th -15th, the Augsburg Environmental Stewardship Committee is conducting a survey of transportation choices made by campus commuters. We urge all faculty, staff and students to respond to the survey at

http://augsburg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eyRIzLrDJJ4SkQY

All responses will be kept anonymous so please be as accurate as possible.

Commuter transportation is becoming a larger portion of our carbon footprint as we continue to reduce other contributors to our overall carbon emissions. In FY 2009 commuter transportation was 17% of our overall CO2 emissions. This survey will allow us to get the accurate up-to-date information for our FY 2011 green house gas emissions inventory to be completed this summer. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Tom Ruffaner at ruffaner@augsburg.edu.

Thank you for your participation- we greatly appreciate your input!
