Got Coffee?
The end of the semester can also be stressful for faculty, but nobody sends us a care package. How do you navigate all the grading? How do you end the semester on a high-note? Come share your ideas, listen to those of your peers, and get caffeinated so you can do what needs to be done to support your students. Please join your colleagues from departments across the college at this CTL-sponsored coffee discussion.
Wednesday, December 3
10:15-11:15 a.m. (drop by or stay the whole hour)

Let Us Give Them Hope
Three years ago, I was a senior in a high school in Gaza,
Palestine. My Father, who is a mechanic, could not
afford to send me to college. I used to look at college
students and wonder if one day I will end up in college
or in a workshop like my father. Today, I am a senior at
Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota majoring
in computer science and double minoring in Math and
MIS thanks to The Hope Fund nonprofit organization.
Read more on their website: TheHopeFund.org
The Hope Fund gave me that chance to change my life
and the lives of those around me. Many Palestinians do
not have that chance, so let us give them that chance!
Let us empower them with education!
