Scholarly Writing Retreat
Scholarly Writing Retreat
May 15-17, 2016
Dunrovin Retreat Center
Do you wish you had uninterrupted time to write / work on scholarship? If so, you will want to take advantage of the annual Jessica Nathanson Scholarly Writing Retreat. Jess established a tradition of allowing faculty and academic staff time away from campus to focus entirely on scholarship. There is no schedule for this retreat - it is simply time and space to work on scholarship. The Provost and the Center for Teaching and Learning will cover the cost of the retreat.
The retreat will take place Sunday, May 15 at 1:00 p.m. (after lunch) through Tuesday, May 17 at 1:00 p.m. (after lunch). Please email ctl@augsburg.edu to reserve your space.

Future Auggie Panel on Tech Expectations 4/15
Lindell 301
Friday April 15, 2016
3 - 4:30 p.m.
What do future Auggies expect from Augsburg when it comes to technology?
What do future Auggies expect from their courses, faculty and campus?
The Augsburg IT Department is sponsoring a future student panel to explore what technology future Auggies expect. Come see a panel, moderated by a current Auggie, where three incoming first year students will talk about what they expect from Augsburg's technology.
Teenagers have grown up in a world where technology is everywhere and how they learn is infused with technology. Many K-12 systems have laptop programs, smartboards, and use tools like moodle. This sets an expectation and shapes how they learn -- we need to understand this digital reality so we can help students succeed in the college environment. Come and hear from this panel and engage with them on questions you have about their digital reality.
Celebrate Faculty Work with "Scholarship Tapas"
This event is designed to provide an opportunity for the Augsburg community to learn about the variety of faculty research projects. We have intentionally named the event Scholarship Tapas to underscore that each invited faculty member will be given 5-10 minutes to outline your research - a tapas tasting, if you will! Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about colleagues' research in an informal, round-table discussion format. Please join us in celebrating your fellow colleagues' work!
Wednesday, April 6
3:45-5:15 pm
Marshall Room
Sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning. Actual tapas will be served. All are welcome!

New Process Proposed For Study-away Courses
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Center of Global Education and Experience are working to develop and implement a new process for off-campus course approvals. The new process will ensure initial screening for financial viability and institutional risk; it will also support a collaborative review (including the department and dean) to identify required resources in advance of the annual spring budget development cycle. Courses and programs deemed viable in the initial screening by Academic Affairs and CGEE would then move through the academic approval process, if/as necessary. We expect to implement the new process toward the end of the 16-17 academic year, with a submission deadline in November 2017 for any study-away courses proposed for the 18-19 fiscal year.
