LSAT Test Prep Registration Now Open
If you are interested in Law School, please join the Office of Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity for an LSAT prep course this Spring. Our course instructor scored in the top 1% of test-takers and has taught LSAT seminars for 14 years. Most corporate tutors charge $175/Hour! URGO offers this 3-week course for only $150. It’s never too early to take this course, even if you are just thinking about Law School.
The course meets Wednesdays from 6-9 PM for three weeks (May 11, 18 & 25) in Oren Gateway Center 113. The cost is only $150, which includes test prep materials; this is a fraction of the cost when compared to similar classroom GRE prep courses offered by Kaplan or the Princeton Review who charge over $1,000.
Alums and non-Augsburg students are also welcome to register.

Project Homeless Connect Seeking Volunteers
April 27, 2011
Dear Friends of Project Homeless Connect,
Project Homeless Connect
Monday, May 23, 2011, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Minneapolis Convention Center
You are needed!
Thanks very much if you have already signed up to volunteer. If not, please sign up today. We have not yet reached our goal of 1250 volunteers and we need you to make the difference. You may share this e-mail with anyone who may be interested in volunteering.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Ending homelessness, one person at a time.
Project Homeless Connect is a one-stop shop for delivering services to people experiencing homelessness. Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis are partnering with service providers, businesses, citizens, and faith communities to bring multiple resources to one location where people can come to find the services they need. These services include:
housing providers, employment specialists, medical care, mental health care, benefits specialists, eye care, haircuts, transportation assistance, food and clothing.
1250 volunteers needed for Monday, May 23
I am writing today to ask you to help at the May 23 event. The Convention Center space will be set up with many tables, rooms, and areas for the various services available and volunteers will assist the guests in connecting with the assistance they need or request. With about 2000 participants expected for this event, at least 1250 volunteers are needed to make the day successful. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
Volunteer Shifts and Training
The May event will start at 10 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. with two shifts for volunteers: (1) 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and (2) 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All volunteers are asked to arrive by 9:00 a.m.
A 90 minute fun and informative training for Project Homeless Connect is required for everyone except those who trained and volunteered for a previous event. At this training, Cathy ten Broeke, the project director, will orient the volunteers and answer questions about the event. While volunteers at previous Homeless Connects do not need to attend training each time, we strongly recommend attendance at the training sessions. Lots has changed in this event over the years, and we want to make sure that the guests and volunteers have as meaningful and productive a day as possible.
Training sessions are scheduled for:
