Interactional Teaching Workshop - Nov. 12
How can we motivate students so they persist? This faculty workshop "Interactional Teaching: Creating a Culture of Shared Responsibility in the Classroom" will provide you with some practical and easy to implement techniques that promote motivation. We will discuss and practice using social interaction and formative assessment techniques designed to provide feedback and motivate your students (and maybe even motivate you too). From giving students choices to using Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATS), you are sure to find a little something you can even apply this semester!
Thursday, Nov. 12th, 11:30am–12:30pm in the Marshall Room, Christensen Center.
Sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Academic Year Research Grants Available
URGO Academic Year Research Grants are now available for undergraduate students who wish to gain research experience with an Augsburg faculty member. This is a great way to ease into research if you have never done it before, or to continue work on an existing project. Students from all disciplines are invited to apply, and past projects have ranged from biology lab work to theater performance. Contact a faculty member within your major to discover research in progress that you may be able to join. Alternatively, you can work collaboratively with a faculty member to develop a new project. Once you have a project in mind, work with your mentor to fill out the application found on our website: http://www.augsburg.edu/urgo/ under "applications."
Grant winners may receive up to $1,200 for research supplies and/or a student stipend. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so do not hesitate to talk with a faculty member and get the ball rolling!

Help an Auggie with Medical Mission Trips
Auggies,
Please take a look at the link for the Go Fund Me Campaign. I have done several trips to Haiti, and have always paid out of pocket. However, I am a full time DNP/FNP student, and am asking for a little help with the financial burden. Take a look and if you feel the cause is just give a little or give a lot, but at least share this on social media to get it out there.

Warmest Regards,
Topher Lee SFNP/DNP
