Teaching and Learning

Lois Olson is Retiring

You may have missed this message in the flurry of end of semester notices, so I will post it once more. In case you did not know, LOIS OLSON is retiring at the end of this Academic Year.

As many of you know, there has been no one who has contributed more in the past 25+ years to the execution and deepening of Augsburg’s efforts related to community-based learning, experiential education and career development. Behind the scenes, and always available to us and to our students, Lois has become another of those giants “on whose shoulders we stand”. Making operational and “putting legs” on what others of us dreamed up or brought to campus was her abiding gift to us: Internships, Cooperative Education, the Augsburg Experience, Bonner Fellows, Strommen Center, Career Development, the Lilly and Kemper endeavors, the Sabo Center—the list goes on and on, and it does not begin to do justice to what Lois has meant to us as a colleague and friend.

So, take a moment and let her know just how much she means to you and how much she will be missed. Thanks

Make Pillowcases for ConKerr Cancer

On Thursday, May 17 from 9 to noon in OGC 111, we will be making pillowcases to brighten the hospital rooms of children and teens in cancer treatment centers in the city. Please join us if you can help cut, iron, or sew; it's just straight lines, so even basic sewing skills would help! We can use fabric if you have some to donate (think kids and teens) but we also need sewing machines, scissors, irons, and ironing boards. If you're interested, contact Jen Nagorski nagorski@augsburg.edu or Wendi Wheeler wheelerw@augsburg.edu.
