President's Holiday July 1
As we were advised at the last All Hands Meeting, President Pribbenow has graciously proclaimed Friday July 1st as an additional paid holiday. This applies to all non-union benefits eligible staff, both exempt and non-exempt. It is in addition to the paid day off on Monday July 4th to recognize Independence Day.
These paid days off will be indicated on the time report with code PH (President's Holiday) on July 1st and code H (Holiday) on July 4th. For employees at less than 1.0 FTE, holiday hours are prorated. Temporary employees and student workers are not eligible for paid holidays. If a supervisor feels it necessary for an employee to work on July 1st, they will need to make arrangements with the employee to take a day off the next week and mark it as PH in the manner noted above.
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend!!

Faculty Volunteers Needed for SOAR: RSVP by June 30
The SOAR orientation program for new students greatly depends on faculty for its success. Students find it particularly meaningful to have the opportunity to meet faculty while they are on campus. To ensure the success of SOAR, we need your help!
SOAR this summer will run very similarly to last year in terms of schedule and requests for faculty involvement. It would be helpful to have each department represented for the SOAR activities below. Please contact Naomi Hagen (hagen@augsburg.edu or x1024) in the dean’s office by June 30 to indicate who will be present on which days from your department for the two SOAR activities below:
Here are the opportunities for faculty involvement on the first day of SOAR:
Friday, July 22
Monday, July 25
Wednesday, July 27
1)Neighborhood Excursions: 12:45 – 2:45 pm
Join a SOAR Neighborhood Group as they engage with and tour a specific neighborhood in Minneapolis. All arrangements will be handled by Orientation Leaders. Faculty may contribute as they choose or simply enjoy this time to get to know incoming students. (Faculty are welcome to join the neighborhood group at 11:45 am prior to leaving for the excursion.)
Students find their experiences in the neighborhoods worthwhile and exciting. They talk about it all year. This SOAR activity is an exciting, substantive, mission-based way for faculty to engage with students.
For questions about the Neighborhood Excursions contact CAO Orientation Programs at orientat@augsburg.edu or x1100.
To sign-up for the Neighborhood Excursions contact Naomi Hagen by June 30 at hagen@augsburg.edu or x1024.

Departments are also welcome to send someone to represent individual major(s).
For questions about the Academic Success sessions contact Academic Advising at advising@augsburg.edu or x1025.
