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 p.m. (after lunch) through Tuesday, May 17 at 1 p.m. (after lunch). Please email ctl@augsburg.edu to reserve your space.
Faculty/Staff Seminar Trip to Germany--Apply Now
In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, Augsburg College faculty and staff are invited to apply for a seminar trip to Germany from May 8-19, 2017. The trip will be led by Dr. Russell Kleckley and Dr. Mark Tranviik of the Religion Department. We will visit Berlin, Wittenberg, Leipzig, and end our trip in Prague. The focus will be on how vocation has been understood in the Lutheran tradition and how it still informs the life and work of the college today. All are welcome...you don't have to be Lutheran to come!
Seminar participants will be asked to pay $500. For faculty, an additional $500 can be available from CTL funds. Staff should speak with their supervisors about equivalent financial support from the College.
Those interested should submit a brief statement describing their interest in the seminar and the anticipated benefits for both the individual and the College. About two paragraphs should be fine. This should be sent to Mark Tranvik (tranvik@augsburg.edu) or Russell Kleckley (kleckley@augsburg.edu) by no later than May 2. Profs. Tranvik and Kleckley will also take your questions or concerns.

We will be collecting food items for Augsburg College's Campus Cupboard, which provides free food to students throughout the year.

In 2015, the Cupboard served 110 students, with a total of 244 visits to take home 985 free grocery items. This is a fantastic resource we have for our students and it wouldn't be possible without donations from folks like you!
Donations will be accepted in the Human Resources office from April 6 through April 15.
Items that the Cupboard is in need of (and what our students would like to see more of) include:
grains (e.g., cereal, rice, etc)
canned tuna
canned soup (not just canned broth)
canned vegetables and beans
non-dairy granola bars
chicken Alfredo sauce
tomato paste
pancake mix and waffle mix
snacks like Cheez-its and crackers
The Campus Cupboard will accept a variety of other non-perishable food items, which makes it even easier for us to help our students as they head into final examinations and summer!
If you have any questions, please let me know at peterlin@augsburg.edu.

Judge Debate in Spanish and Earn Money
The Minnesota Urban Debate League (MNUDL) is looking for volunteers to judge debate rounds. High school and middle school students will debate issues surrounding drone surveillance on the U.S.-Mexican border, and the debates take place entirely in Spanish. No prior debate experience is necessary to judge; the only requirement is that volunteers are fluent in Spanish. It's also a flexible volunteer commitment. We have three tournaments in total, but volunteers can commit to as many or as few tournaments as their schedule permits. By volunteering with MNUDL, you support local students in their education and extracurricular activities.
In exchange for your time, we pay $55 for each tournament that you attend.
Our upcoming tournament is listed below:
April 13, 2016 from 3:00 to 7:00pm at South St. Paul High School
