McNair Scholars Program Recruiting for Spring 2015
Augsburg College's TRIO McNair Scholars Program is recruiting for Spring 2015 admission. The goal of the program is to prepare Scholars for graduate study through academics, involvement in undergraduate research and other scholarly activities. McNair teams Scholars with other academically strong students who aspire to graduate study, and helps them 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 and advising in preparation for doctoral study. Also, the program assists with securing admission to and financial assistance for enrollment in graduate programs. Students will acquire the research skills necessary to succeed in graduate school through a paid research internship ($4000) with an Augsburg faculty member during the Summer of 2016.
The McNair Scholars Program is a federal TRIO grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, to be eligible, students 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, applicants must be 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. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions about the program or if you're unsure whether or not you qualify.
Application Deadline: Friday, March 27, 5 p.m.

Augsburg College 7th Traditional Powwow - March 28
Augsburg Indigenous Student Association (AISA) and American Indian Student Services invites our Augsburg community to join us on Saturday, March 28th, 2015 for our 7th Traditional Powwow on campus in the Si Melby Gymnasium. This event has grown to be one of Augsburg's largest events attracting Native and Non-Native individuals from the region, including Canada. This event is open and free to all and we encourage you to bring your families and friends.
If this is your first time experiencing a Powwow, be prepared to learn, observe, and participate (optional) in a strong, rich culture of many different Native Nations coming together to 'dance' in celebration of New beginnings, blessings, community, etc. We hope that you can join us.
Grand entries (start of a session) are at 1 PM and 6 PM. This is when all the dancers enter the 'circle' aka dance arena at the same time to begin the day. These are very powerful to experience. Dancing will happen throughout the day (until roughly 9:30 PM) so feel free to come at any time.
Our 10 Augsburg American Indian Graduates will be honored at 3 PM and it would be nice for people to be there to share in that experience for them as well. Our brothers and sisters, a Aztec dance group, Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue will be dancing following the Honoring Ceremony (3:45 PMish).
We hope that you will come and join us this year!

Profit and Loss in Indigenous Communities
Plan to see the next film in Augsburg's Native American Film Series.
"Profit and Loss" documents how indigenous groups in Papua New Guinea and near the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, fight the loss of land, water and health to mining and oil industries.
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
Screening of Profit and Loss begins at 7:00 pm
Reception 6:15 pm-6:45
Discussion to follow film in Sateren Auditorium, Anderson Music Hall
Hosts: Dr. Cecilia Martinez (The Center for Earth, Energy and Democracy) and Tom Goldtooth (Indigenous Environmental Network)
FFI: augsburg.edu/filmseries/2014/12/17/profit-loss/
Thank you to our sponsors:
Augsburg College, American Indian Studies Department, Environmental Studies Program, Institute for Global Studies, University of Minnesota, Center for Earth, Energy, and Democracy, Indigenous Environmental Network
Profit and Loss exposes industrial threats to native peoples' health, livelihood and cultural survival. In Papua New Guinea, a nickel mine that violently relocated villagers to taboo land is building a new pipeline and refinery, and dumping mining waste into the sea. In Alberta, First Nations people suffer from rare cancers as their traditional hunting grounds are strip-mined to unearth the world's third-largest oil reserve. Rare verité scenes of tribal life and intimate interviews allow indigenous people to tell their own stories—and confront us with the ethical consequences of our culture of consumption. Narrated by Graham Greene (Oneida).
