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.

Faculty Help Needed: Undergraduate Sneak Peek
Dear Faculty:
I have a late request for help recruiting faculty participation in our upcoming Sneak Peek event that takes place on Wednesday, April 25 and Thursday, April 26 for Undergraduate Admissions.
As you may have heard from Carola or Julie, this event is considered our "home run" event. Only accepted and deposited Augsburg students are invited to attend and it is traditionally a night when several accepted students make their final decision to attend Augsburg and deposit on the spot. On average, we receive approximately 25 deposits between the two nights.
We definitely need to recruit:
--one more Fine Arts faculty member for the 3rd session (5:45-6:05) on Wednesday
--one non-History faculty member for all three sessions (4:55-6:05) on Thursday
--at least one more Social and Behavioral Science Faculty member for all three sessions on Thursday (4:55 -6:05)
--a Natural Science and Mathematics Faculty for the 3rd session on Thursday (5:45 - 6:05)
The requests below are not mandatory but it would be nice to have additional representation in the following areas:
--1 additional Fine Arts faculty member for the 1st and 2nd sessions on Wednesday and the 3rd session Thursday
--1 additional Humanities faculty member for Wednesday
--1 additional Professional Studies faculty member for Wednesday
--1 more Social and Behavioral Science faculty member for all sessions on Wednesday
--1 additional Natural Science and Mathematics for 2nd session on Thursday
Sneak Peek Schedule

Education Majors
Hi Education Majors!
As I am graduating in these next few weeks I have many education text books from Augsburg Courses that I am looking to sell. If you are new to the education field or are looking for some of your text books for cheaper than bookstore prices, please email me at waskosky@augsburg.edu and I can let you know which books I have (most brand new condition no markings!). I also have many MTLE practice books, like new with no markings or bends. They have helped me to pass every exam on the first time.
Please email me with questions about books and prices.
Thanks,
Samantha Waskosky
