All-Hands Planning Summit on Monday

Dear Augsburg faculty and staff,

I hope your plans are set to join the All-Hands Planning Summit on Monday from 9-11:30 a.m. in Si Melby gymnasium. We'll spend a few minutes looking back at the remarkable progress we have made on Augsburg2019 during this academic year, and then turn our attention to the hard work ahead. Our goal is to open up a wider campus conversation on Augsburg's future, with a particular focus on the second dimension of Augsburg's strategic plan--Augsburg's reputation and identity: Augsburg is at the table, framed by a presentation from Susan Brower, Minnesota's state demographer.

We'll hear responses to Ms. Brower's presentation from Dr. Jacqui deVries, Director of General Education and Professor of History, and Joanne Reeck, Chief Diversity Officer and Director of Campus Activities and Orientation. I'll share some remarks on what these demographic trends might mean for Augsburg's role in the region, and we'll ask you to engage in some table conversation to explore concrete next steps.

See you Monday at 9 a.m.!
