Event Announcements

A Calling to Embrace Creation Vocation Conference

The eighteenth annual Vocation of a Lutheran College Conference will convene at Augsburg from Monday, July 30 - Wednesday, August 1. This year's theme is "A Calling to Embrace Creation: Lutheran Higher Education, Sustainability, and Stewardship."

The agenda for the conference is available at: http://www.augsburg.edu/acfl/documents/2012Agenda.pdf

The ELCA sponsors teams of up to five faculty and staff from each of the ELCA Colleges to attend this annual gathering. Each year this conference brings together our Lutheran college colleagues to explore the distinctive roles we play in higher education. As was true for the last three years, one of the benefits being the host site is that we have the option of inviting more than five faculty and staff to attend.

To register for the conference, go to: http://www.augsburg.edu/acfl/conferenceapplication.html

If you have questions about registration, contact Lonna Field at 612-330-1467 or acfl@augsburg.edu. If you would like more information about the conference, contact Tom Morgan at 1773 or morgan@augsburg.edu
