Research Participants Needed
This summer Megan Steffl is working on an URGO summer research project that is in need of volunteers. The study is looking at Christian-Muslim relations through the lens of friendship. The only requirements for the study are that one friend is Christian while the other is Muslim, and that you consider yourselves to be "close" friends, close enough where you would be able to talk about your friendship in detail.
Interviews will be taking place in the library study rooms, however if your friend lives far away Skype interviews can be an option. Interviews take between an hour and a half to two hours. There are no direct benefits to this study except the opportunity to help attempt to improve Christian-Muslim relations. For more information please contact Megan directly at steffl@augsburg.edu, or by telephone at 612-330-1224.
Grade Due Dates
Spring Rochester grades are due Friday, 1 Jul.
Spring WEC/Grad grades are due Wednesday, 6 Jul.
SSI grades are due Monday, 11 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.

SITE MONITORING
We are setting up a system for monitoring the eight sites we serve at (we are receiving federal funds that require intense reporting). We are looking for 1-2 students who will be briefly trained as monitors, and can visit these sites to ensure correct reporting, and always enjoy a meal onsite.

Event Announcements
Forgive and Forget?
Approximately 20 high school students from around Minnesota will gather at Augsburg College on Sunday June 26th to spend a week studying theology at our annual Augsburg College Youth Theology Institute. This year's theme is “Our Wild and Reckless God: What Does Forgiveness Mean?” Dr. Mark Tranvik, Professor and Chair of Religion at Augsburg College, will guide the students through a theological exploration of forgiveness in class during the week. The students' classroom learning will be enhanced with a variety of community-based learning experiences including a visit to Mt. Zion Temple, the Basilica of St. Mary, Thrivent's religious art gallery, and Campus Kitchen. We also take in a fair share of fun and good food during the week. If you see this group on campus, be sure to ask them what they know about forgiveness.
