Call for Proposals – Symposium in Kigali, Rwanda
Go to Kigali, Rwanda to present your work, share your research, and generate knowledge at the SIT Symposium "Conflict, Memory, and Reconciliation: Bridging Past, Present, and Future" January 10 - 13, 2012. The objective is to explore together the meeting points of memory studies and of post conflict, peace building, and reconciliation studies, and generate knowledge about the pedagogy and ethics in teaching post-conflict in a study abroad setting.
If you desire to present, abstracts of your session are due June 1, 2011. In addition to the symposium, there will be a site visit to Kigali Genocide Memorial with focus on the pedagogy of teaching memory, peace building, reconciliation, and social justice.
Details are available at http://www.sit.edu/symposium.
Portfolio Workshop
For Faculty Preparing for CTP Reviews
May 13, 9:00-3:00 pm, OGC 100
The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates for any type of Committee on Tenure and Promotion (CTP) review to determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Faculty Handbook language as it applies to an individual. It does not represent the views of the CTP committee; rather, this is a long standing CTL workshop to help support candidates' preparation and is one that many colleagues have found useful. The workshop is facilitated by Diane Pike and Su Doree. Participants are encouraged to form groups to review each other's portfolio materials and provide feedback and support following the workshop.
If you plan to attend this session, please rsvp to lashbroo@augsburg.edu
Scholarly Writing Retreat – Last Call
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 lashbroo@augsburg.edu to sign up.

Creating an Inclusive Campus – May 9-11 Conference
For All Faculty, Staff, and Leaders
Co-Sponsored by CTL, General Education, the Center for International Programs, Human Resources, Academic Affairs, and Student Affairs
Once a year we gather together to share what we are doing to create an inclusive campus and to plan future initiatives. Previously known as the Diversity and Global Learning conference, this event focuses on a wide range of issues associated with making intentional diversity a reality at Augsburg College.
Monday, May 9, 8:30-4:30 (Chapel and OGC 113, 200, and 201) – Opening and Concurrent Sessions
Join us for a continental breakfast in the Foss Atrium before the opening session in the Chapel. The initial session, led by Michael Grewe, will focus what it means to be an ally with our LGBTQIA communities at Augsburg, what Augsburg is doing, and what we need to do. After lunch, there will be concurrent sessions divided into three tracks: Engaging All Students, Embedding Diversity and Global Learning, and Developing Our Community. Sessions led by faculty, staff, students, and administrators will address how inclusive we are, how to engage students in recovery from addiction, how to embed diversity and global learning in curricular and co-curricular experiences, how to raise issues of sexuality in the classroom, new approaches to hiring diverse faculty, and what we do when something goes wrong.
Tuesday, May 10, 8:00-4:30 (OGC 113, 200, and 201) – Concurrent Sessions
Join us for a continental breakfast in the OGC Atrium before continuing concurrent sessions. The track on Engaging All Students will include sessions on how to differentiate instruction and engage ESL students, politically and economically diverse students, and students with psychiatric disabilities. The Embedding Diversity and Global Learning track will feature sessions on exploring "Isms," talking about race, addressing vocation and religious pluralism, and building intercultural competence. The Developing Our Community track will include a two-part exploration of a model for nonviolent communication and a two-part session on understanding our neighbors.
Wednesday, May 11, 10:00-12:00 – Working Sessions
Working sessions will be held with departments to debrief the conference and departmental diversity initiatives, and plan actions to integrate what they've learned into departmental plans. The sessions will be organized as follows:
Arts & Sciences, OGC 114 (Amy Gort and Lori Brandt Hale, facilitators)
Graduate & Professional Studies, OGC 113 (Lori Peterson and Velma Lashbrook, facilitators)
Staff, OGC 202 (Andrea Turner and Ann Garvey, facilitators)
Every department is expected to have at least two representatives at the working session.
