Subject: Friday Seminar, March 2
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Subject: Life of the Mind Retreat, March 16-17
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message: Last call for participants...

"The Road": From Here to Where?

The dates of the annual Life of the Mind Retreat are the Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon leading into Spring Break, March 16-17 . The retreat is at the Luxe Conference Center in nearby Chaska. We can accommodate 20-24 faculty and staff; there are still a few spaces remaining.

Cormac McCarthy's short, well-reviewed apocalyptic novel "The Road" is the centerpiece of the retreat and has already attracted colleagues from the humanities, arts, sciences, and professional studies. We will couple this with some short selections from scientist Richard Dawkins' provocative book on atheism, "The God Delusion," and Sam Harris's "The End of Faith," as well as some counter-responses. We'd love your suggestions for additional readings, counter-readings, films, etc. And we're likely resurrecting the 1983 film "Testament" as a complement to McCarthy's vision.

Please join us and encourage your colleagues to attend. Whether you're a newcomer or an old-timer, the retreat is a great way to meet colleagues across campus and to reconnect with old friends. The food and company and talk will be great.

Copies of “The Road” are available for retreat participants. Because of the cost of the retreat facility, we need firm commitment and early registration for the overnight stay. If you plan to join us for this intellectually stimulating gathering, please contact Terry Martin (martin@augsburg.edu, x1229) at the Center for Teaching and Learning.
