Liberal Arts and Professional Studies - Wed. June 4
Summer Conversation Series
Integrating Liberal Arts and Professional Studies
Through a series of off-campus experiences, faculty will have the opportunity to engage in cross-disciplinary conversations and challenge the assumption of a dichotomy between Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. This opportunity made possible with an Innovation Grant and open to ALL Faculty. The first experience is:
June 4: Industry and Energy in the Heart of the City: The Mill City Museum
11-1 p.m. No homework. Includes free lunch at D'Amico's. Bring your walking shoes.
RSVP by June 2. Space is limited.
Summer Hours - Writing Lab
Summer term is well underway and you may find the Writing Lab helpful. The Lab is open for summer term students on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30-7 p.m. You can find the WL in Lindell Library, street level, left of the circulation desk. Tutors can help students with written assignments for any class and at any stage of the writing process. Any questions, contact Kathryn Swanson, English Department.

Additional Sessions for New Web Time Entry System
Everyone is invited to several hands-on open labs about our upcoming move to a new web time entry system. Now that we have made the transition it is a great time to sharpen your skills in the system.
The key benefits of the new web time entry system are:
- no Java except for what is in your coffee mug
- easy time entry for students with multiple jobs
- supervisors able to view time worked by student workers in all jobs
- up to the minute benefit accrual time information on the main screen showing time taken, available and requested
- easier reporting options for supervisors
The new time entry system is the place where the benefit accrual time is calculated each pay period for the benefit-eligible employees. It is the main keeper of the benefit accruals.
Hands-on training sessions are listed below. These will be open labs. Come when you want and leave when you want.
Employee-focused sessions:
Friday June 6, 12 noon - 3 p.m., Sverdrup 201 Computer Lab (NEW!)
Supervisor-focused sessions (NEW!):
Thursday May 29, 1 - 2 p.m., Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab
Thursday June 5, 12 noon - 2 p.m., Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab
If you have any questions please let myself or Theresa Gade (gade@augsburg.edu) know.
Website Work Session TODAY 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Open work session today from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. in the Sverdrup 201 computer lab. This is a free-form, come-and-go session where the computer lab is reserved for website content managers to come in and work on their websites. I will be there, along with your fellow content managers, to answer questions and offer assistance.
Leadership Training - Spaces Still Available
We are pleased to announce a free day-long Leadership Training opportunity. Typical professional development courses cost hundreds of dollars and require employees to travel to off-site locations. So Augsburg Human Resources is bringing the training to you!
The Leadership Training session will be facilitated by Diane Hinds from Achieve and will be held in the Marshall room. Lunch will be provided and all fees will be covered by the HR office.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain new information, skills, and network with colleagues from across the College community!
