Kathy Kuross Is Innovation Award Finalist

Submitted by Scott Krajewski, Director of IT, Information Technology

Kathy has been selected as a finalist for the UNIT4 innovation award. UNIT4 is the owner of Agresso, which runs our HR, Finance and Registrar systems. The winners of the innovation awards will be announced at the fall UNIT4 conference.

Kathy will be presenting at the UNIT4 conference this fall about her recent projects. One project was the conversion of all current and historic course records to the new credit and calendar system. The other project was redesigning how Agresso maintains Augsburg-specific dates such as end-of-term, drop/add deadlines and registration dates. Kathy will also contribute to a case study based on her projects.

Wanted: Camping/Canoeing Partner For Short Trip

Submitted by Sherilyn Young, Donor Relations Coordinator, Development

WANTED: Adventurous, flexible and easy going camping/canoeing partner for short trip up north

Why: Monitor loons on two lakes. Loons are indicator species and the Minn. state bird.
When: Approx. July 5-July 8 (last day to count loons is July 7)
How: Drive in my car with canoe on top
Who: Me and one or two of you who want to camp and have a basic skill level of canoeing. I am a seasoned loon monitoring volunteer and car camper.
Where: North of Finland, Minn.
Cost: Not very much. You chip in with food/firewood and pay personal expenses.

I need a partner who can help take the canoe on and off the car and who can canoe with me on the two lakes I've volunteered to monitor. We go at our own pace so it's not too hard for novice canoeists. The rest of the time is just hanging out and relaxing, swimming, canoeing, reading or whatever. It's so beautiful and peaceful, but there are plenty of mosquitos. I provide canoe, paddles and life preservers, tents, sleeping bags and the cooking items we might need. Cooking over a fire. Nice pit toilets and drinkable water, no sinks or showers.

Are you game? Contact Sherilyn at 612-330-1462 or youngs@augsburg.edu
