Your LFC team and guest presenters will share a variety of tools and resources that can be applied in your day-to-day activities and in special projects that arise. For example, Moodle 2 and its new features! The presentation will be informal so please feel free to come and go as your schedule allows - we've designed the program with this in mind! Community lunch participants are welcome. Content is appropriate for users with all levels of computing experience.
We look forward to seeing you!

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.
General Announcements
Agresso Self Service
Dear Staff and Faculty,
As part of our strategic initiative of moving more of the transaction work to self service, we have launched an enhancement to the self service module for all staff and faculty. Currently, you are able to view your pay slip on the self service module. Now you will be able to view a variety of your personal information that is maintained in the HR system.
The following tabs will be available to view:
1. Personal Information – Name, social security number, gender, marital status, birth date, and bank account(s)
NOTE: Most of these fields are used in government reporting and must follow the government guidelines. This is not intended to be a contradiction to our commitment to being an inclusive campus.
2. Contact Information – Address, phone number(s), and email address
3. Employment – Position Information
4. Emergency Contacts
5. Relations – W-4 information, benefits information, number of months worked, number of months paid
This is a great opportunity to verify your information. For corrections, outside of bank account and W-4 information, please complete the Address & Name Change form on the HR Moodle site. Bank account and W-4 information changes require you to complete the appropriate form on the payroll site at http://www.augsburg.edu/payroll/forms.html
HOW TO GET THERE

WHAT IS COMING
There are more changes to come after IT has completed the upgrade to Agresso. One of our top priorities is to expand the functionality of self-service to include more on-line updating of information that will make it easier for you to review your elections and update specific information yourself. In addition, we will be moving toward a manager self service as well.
We look forward to rolling out additional enhancements to the self service module.
We would like each of you to review your information for accuracy and complete any necessary change forms.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Raspberry Plant Fundraiser Monday 4-5:15
The Augsburg Community Garden is looking to fund raise by selling raspberry plants. A typical plant costs $5 in the garden store, is real small, and won't bear fruit for a year or two. We'll be taking from mature plants in the garden and off site that may provide berries once or twice even this year (our varieties are ever bearing) if you're lucky.
If you are interested in purchasing a plant in a half gallon container for $5, we will be selling them out of the garden this Monday 4-5:15. Email me or look in the A-mail later in the week to see if we have extras.
The money will be used to purchase compost, mulch, water, and all the other supplies needed to make the Augsburg Community Garden beautiful and nutritious.

Creating an Inclusive Campus– Save these Dates
Creating an Inclusive Campus Conference – Save these Dates
May 22-24
All faculty, staff, and students are invited to participate in the fourth annual conversation to co-create an inclusive campus. As our mission states, "The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work." What does it mean to be committed to intentional diversity? It means that we recruit a diverse student body and create an inclusive, supportive learning environment that enables them to succeed . It means that we prepare all students to work collaboratively in a diverse, global environment. Finally, it means that we hire diverse faculty and staff, and create an inclusive, supportive work environment that enables them to be meaningfully involved in the work of Augsburg College. This conference allows us to celebrate what we are doing right and engage in dialogue about how we can continue to improve.
The opening session, "Transformative Conversations: The Art of Building Bridges and Civil Spaces," includes a panel of students sharing their experience of transformative dialogue across differences. You will explore concrete skills that can support the authentic connections necessary for creating an inclusive campus community. Applications will include conversations about political and religious issues that often become divisive in an election year.
Other sessions address the needs of adult learners, developing intercultural competence, using the neighborhood as a classroom, embedding global learning in a calculus course, undoing racism, understanding student experiences of racism, making use of our international resources, hiring diverse faculty, supporting LGBTQIA students abroad, reimagining the theater department, and developing intercultural leadership.
The closing session, "Fighting Poverty in Augsburg," is an outgrowth of last fall's Life of the Mind retreat on global poverty and inequity, and efforts to address this issue locally. This session aims to: (1) raise awareness in the college community about the reality of poverty and its consequences for many Augsburg students; (2) provide resources for students, faculty, and staff to address some of the consequences of poverty, such as acquiring textbooks and finding housing options for homeless students; and (3) explore realistic short- and long-term solutions to address the issue of poverty among Augsburg students.
Please join us to help co-create a more inclusive campus. Look for posters and flyers that provide more information on the schedule and how to rsvp.
