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.

Do you want to have fun and make a difference for new first-year students this summer? Augsburg TRiO/Student Support Services (TRiO/SSS) is now accepting applications for the position of Summer Bridge 2011 Residential Peer Mentor (RPM).

TRiO/SSS Summer Bridge selects 25 first-year TRiO students to get a head start on their Augsburg education. During this five-week residential program, students take two college courses for credit, and attend academic support seminars, workshops, and other activities to help provide for a smooth transition to Augsburg in the fall. Summer Bridge participants also participate in TRiO/SSS for the rest of their enrollment at Augsburg.

Augsburg TRiO/SSS started in 2001 and is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and Augsburg College. TRiO/SSS annually provides individual and group services to 160 students so that they develop the skills and motivation necessary to achieve a bachelor’s degree.

RPMs will support the efforts of the TRiO/SSS program to provide a quality summer residential and academic experience for program participants that meet the goals established in the TRiO/SSS federal grant. The role in the residence hall is to facilitate and introduce incoming TRiO/SSS students to a healthy living experience. The RPM is not a 24-hour police officer, but a 24-hour role model–authoritative without being authoritarian.

There are four openings (2 male, 2 female) for this live-in position. This position may be considered an internship for transcript notation or academic credit. The RPM position is full-time, with variable hours from July 10 - August 11, 2011, and with additional training dates in May or June, and July.

A complete job description, job requirements, additional compensation and application information are available in the TRiO/SSS Office (SCI 152) and online through Human Resources: www.augsburg.edu/hr

Green's Wintery Words & Waterman's Poetic Pigs

English Professor Doug Green read his poems as part of the Northfield Arts Guild's Winter Words program, last Saturday, 5 Feb, at the NAG Gallery on Division Street. He was featured in an article on the event in the 29 January edition of the Northfield News <http://www.northfieldnews.com/news.php?viewStory=56105>, the print version of which included his poem "Chicago Heat."

Professor and Poet Cary Waterman will be reading at Micawber's Books <www.micawbers.com>, 7 pm on Tuesday, 1 March, in a program celebrating the new anthology, LOW DOWN AND COMING ON: A FEAST OF DELICIOUS AND DANGEROUS POEMS ABOUT PIGS, edited by James P. Lenfestey and designed by Scott King of Red Dragonfly Press. Professor Waterman will read along with fellow contributors Naomi Cohn, Jim Lenfestey, and Susan Thurston.

The book is a corpulent, beautifully designed hardcover anthology of 133 poems (and one recipe) by 103 poets (and one architect), edited with an introduction by James P. Lenfestey. The anthology is dedicated to poet and essayist Bill Holm, whose idea it was before he died unexpectedly in 2009. Eric Utne, founder of the Utne Reader, says this anthology finally "proves that pigs do fly." Editor Lenfestey declares, "These are poems you can EAT!" Lenfestey has gathered together poems from around the world and throughout literary time, including poems by a Nobel Prize winner (Pablo Neruda, in a new translation), two US Poet Laureates (Donald Hall, Ted Kooser), five state poet laureates (Robert Bly, Jane Gentry, William Kloefcorn, David Lee, Linda Pastan) and one Provincial treasure (John B. Lee). Plus nearly 100 others, some published here for the first time, others multiple blue ribbon winners. All the poets seem to find in our close porcine cousins something both delicious and dangerous, "so right it's wrong," as one poet says of his gourmand love.
