Tutors Needed

We are currently looking for students interested in volunteering their time and talents by tutoring adults from the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Tutoring will occur on Tuesdays-Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 in Foss.

We are looking for students from all scholarly disciplines to tutor. This is a great opportunity for students to meet adults in the community and to not only refine communication and teaching skills, but to engage with adults from a variety of ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

The Trinity-Augsburg Partnership (with the help of the Sabo Center and the Bonner Program) is making this program possible.

Please e-mail Elena Eveslage at eveslage@augsburg.edu if interested in tutoring.

Social Entrepreneurship Survey

Dear Current Augsburg College Student:

We are MBA students working on our MBA Capstone Project (MBA 580) with Dr. Bruce Batten (Associate Director of MBA Program).

Augsburg is considering developing a new multidisciplinary program offering in Social Enterprise/Social Entrepreneurship. As part of a feasibility study we are conducting a survey to gauge your interest in socially oriented businesses and careers. Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems. Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and/or persuading entire societies to take new leaps.

The below survey will help us in our research for Augsburg College in identifying the feasibility and attractiveness of such a program offering. Please participate in this survey by cutting and pasting the below link into your browser:

http://augsburg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5C6Zzoba6FlJ3CY

Thank you in advance for your valued input and participation in our research.

Sincerely,

Kelsey Duncomb, Jay Isaman, Famata Barrie, John Kiiza
MBA 580 Augsburg College Consulting Team

Scholarly Writing Retreat

Dunrovin Retreat Center, May 16-18, 2011

The Center for Teaching and Learning invites faculty to participate in the second annual Scholarly Writing Retreat at Dunrovin. The retreat gives scholars time and space to work on scholarship, undistracted by meetings, classes, or even children and family responsibilities. Last year, many participants came specifically to plan an approach to a new project; it was an opportunity to focus new ideas so that participants could spend the summer further developing these projects. And for some, it was a chance to finish articles that they had been working on during the year; one person, for example, used the time to complete a piece for publication.

Comments from last year's attendees:

"I can honestly say that I was able to get more quality writing done in the 48 hrs. we were there than any time since my sabbatical."
"The group that went to Dunrovin was wonderfully supportive of each other, and the environment seemed to make everyone's work productive."

The retreat will take place Monday, May 16 at 10 am through Wednesday, May 18 at 3pm. There are 15 openings. First come, first served - those who attended last year are welcome to sign up again. There will be no charge for participants. Please email hedstrom@augsburg.edu to sign up.

CTL Night at the Theatre

The Living Newpaper Project

The Center for Teaching and Learning invites Augsburg faculty and staff to attend and bring a guest to the Theatre Department's production of The Living Newspaper Project on February 10th at 7:00 pm in the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater.

Inspired by the original Living Newspapers of the Federal Theater Project in the 1930s, this student-devised performance will use a range of nonfiction sources to explore a current social issue. Ensemble members will gather interviews, articles, and multimedia—and generate their own writing—to create and stage a totally unique piece of socially conscious theatre. The production is directed by Sarah Myers.

Attendees are invited to a panel discussion, talk-back with the student actors, and a dessert reception immediately following the production. Please join us for this event. A limited number of free tickets to this showing will be available to the first faculty and staff contacting Sarah Hedstrom at hedstrom@augsburg.edu .

Biology Faculty Candidate Seminar - TODAY

Biology Faculty candidate Dr. Catherine Kirkpatrick will present: "Not Just Glue: Roles of Proteoglycans in Development and Disease"

Cells in a multicellular organism are connected with each other through the medium of the extracellular matrix. This external environment, synthesized by the cells themselves, typically provides structural support for cells and tissues, while allowing neighboring cells to communicate with one another. In animals, one abundant component of the extracellular matrix is a class of carbohydrate-modified cell surface proteins called heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). HSPGs interact with many other extracellular and cell surface proteins such as growth factors and signaling receptors, and thereby regulate cell-cell communication. Studying HSPGs in mammals is complex, but research using model organisms like the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has helped to reveal how these molecules function. I will describe some of my research on the roles of Drosophila proteoglycans in cellular signaling during development, and how disruptions in proteoglycan function can lead to disease in mammals.

When: Thursday, February 3, 2011 from 4:15 – 5:15 p.m.
Where: Science Hall 123

Whole Leaders See Things Whole, Tom Morgan, Feb 17

Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies invites you to attend a workshop entitled "Whole Leaders See Things Whole," presented by Tom Morgan.

Date: Thursday, February 17
Time: 5:30 p.m. social time with refreshments; 6:00 p.m. presentation
Location: Oren Gateway Center, Room 100

Morgan will introduce a framework for thinking about our lives as a set of relationships among three dimensions—identity, purpose, and stewardship—each with its own needs, desires, and preoccupations. While these dimensions can pull us in different directions, when we are at our best, they offer us complementary perspectives that allow us to see things whole.

In this workshop, you will complete the Seeing Things Whole Profile, a 39-question survey designed to take a multi-dimensional snapshot of your life and well-being. The profile helps you explore your strengths within the three dimensions and can give you perspective around challenges you face.

You will also receive a workbook, WholeLife Aspirations and Goals, to help examine how your life purpose connects to your life choices. The workbook offers a powerful exercise for clarifying what is important to you and what you plan to do to make your dreams a reality.

Morgan is the executive director of the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning and professor of business at Augsburg College. He has served as a member of the steering committee for the Faith in the City Collaborative since its inception and serves on the boards of the Augsburg-Fairview Academy, Seeing Things Whole, and Select Learning Resources.
