McNair Scholars Program Recruiting for Fall 2013

Augsburg College's TRIO McNair Scholars Program is recruiting for admission Fall 2013. The goal of the program is to prepare Scholars for graduate study through academic preparation and involvement in undergraduate research and other scholarly activities. McNair teams you with other academically strong students who aspire to graduate study, and helps you to achieve that dream.

The McNair Scholars Program works with students who are members of groups underrepresented in graduate education and who exhibit strong academic potential. The program provides coursework, workshops, advising in preparation for doctoral degrees. Also, programming assists with securing admission to and financial assistance for enrollment in graduate programs. You will acquire the research skills necessary to succeed in graduate school through a paid research internship ($4,000) with an Augsburg faculty member during the Summer of 2014.

The McNair Scholars Program is a federal TRIO grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, to be eligible you must be first-generation (neither parent graduated from a four-year college) AND low-income OR may be persons from groups underrepresented in graduate education. The Department of Education defines these groups as African-American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hispanic/Latino. Additionally, eligible applicants are either U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents.

If you are interested in learning more about the McNair Scholars Program, please contact Lara Crombie, Program Assistant at crombie@augsburg.edu or (612) 330-1380 to schedule an appointment.

Spread Cheer and Do Good When You Buy Rotary Roses

Spreading cheer and doing good couldn't be easier when you place an order for a dozen roses from the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights Rotary Club. You get flowers to brighten the day of a friend or colleague, while profits support projects that impact students and families close to Augsburg's backyard.

The Club, whose motto is "service above self," annually sells roses to raise money for many programs including:
--Neighbors Inc. Food Shelf
--Henry Sibley High School ALMAS (Anglos Latinos Motivated to Succeed)
--360 Communities' domestic violence prevention services
--Loaves & Fishes, through which the Club serves about 2,000 meals per year on the West Side of St. Paul
--Rotary International's global work to eradicate polio through purchase and administration of polio vaccines

Orders are due by April 17 for campus delivery on April 24 (Administrative Professionals Day). The roses are a cheerful way to say "thank you" to colleagues and friends who help make Augsburg go. Roses also make a great day brightener for the people you like and love.

The cost for a dozen roses is $15, and payment is due in advance (check preferred).

To order by April 17:
--Pick your color -- a dozen red or a dozen "lollipop" (pastel) roses
--Make check payable to "West St. Paul-Mendota Heights Rotary"
--Send check and order to: Stephanie Weiss, MarComm, Box 145, Anderson Hall, Suite 25
--Include your office number/on-campus delivery location

Be sure to have a vase at your office on delivery day -- April 24 -- so your roses stay fresh!
