Faculty Recognition Luncheon
May 3, 11:45 am -2:30 pm
East Commons
As part of our annual faculty recognition luncheon, CTL sets up tables to display faculty work. It includes both a focus on scholarship – books, articles, art, and performances by faculty – and teaching – Moodle sites, syllabi, significant learning experiences, and other course materials that illustrate diverse approaches to teaching that have been effective. If you have scholarship or teaching materials that we could display, please send your name, department, the materials you will provide, and your email address to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu). Please deliver a copy to Sarah by May 1; she will return them after the luncheon.

The Jessica Nathanson Scholarly Writing Retreat
The third annual Scholarly Writing Retreat will be held at Dunrovin Retreat Center near Marine on St. Croix from 10:00 am on Tuesday, May 29 to 1:00 pm on Thursday, May 31. Initiated by Jessica Nathanson, the retreat gives scholars time and space to work on scholarship, undistracted by meetings, classes, or even children and family responsibilities. Some come to plan an approach to a new project to be completed over the summer; others use it as an opportunity to finish articles they have been working on during the year. Those interested in participating should contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu). Registrants are accepted on a first come-first serve basis.

Dr. Melissa Hensley, Assistant Professor of Social Work, was honored with the designation of "Everyday Angel" by the Guild Incorporated, a non-profit agency that provides integrated services for people with mental illness. In her service to the agency, Dr. Hensley developed and leads monthly self-empowerment group for clients who participate in the Guild's Community Support Program.

Prom Dress for Exchange Student
Do you have a prom dress you would be willing to donate or lend to a high school exchange student from Turkey? She is living with me this year and wants to go to prom. We have been shopping the resale shops but haven't found a dress that fits. She is hoping to find a long or short dress, size 11/12 and, not too revealing on top. If you have such a dress and would be willing to donate or lend it, please email kinnerp@augsburg.edu or stop by and see Pat Kinner in Lindell 227 (Academic Advising). Thanks.
