Creating an Inclusive Campus Conference
May 22-24
All faculty, staff, and students are invited to participate in the fourth annual conversation to co-create an inclusive campus. Please register, so we can get a sense of how many people will be attending each session. You can register at: http://augsburg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2s09aFEvydM0lKs
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.
CTP Portfolio Workshop
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. The workshop is facilitated by Diane Pike and Su Doree and will be held at the following time:
Thursday, May 24, 1:00-4:00 in Lindell 202
Following the workshop, participants are encouraged to form groups to review each other's portfolio materials and provide feedback and support. If you plan to attend this session, please rsvp to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

Art Reception - Gage Gallery: FRIDAY
Blessings
KimyiBo
Opening Reception: Friday, May 18, 5 -7 p.m.
Gage Family Art Gallery, Oren Gateway Center
"Blessings" is a large scale print installation made up of 144 double-sided paper tiles tessellated in a three-dimensional space. The octagonal shaped tiles are silkscreened with crosshatched-line-patterns on one side and color washed with soy emulsion and dry pigment on the other. The tiles gradually shift in chromatic and achromatic values and can be viewed as a projection of a hyper (four-dimensional) cube.
The exhibition explores the idea of change. In KimyiBo's own words, "I record shifting emotions through abstract images…ordering space with changing patterns, playing with the dynamics between flatness and depth, and creating tension between two opposing forces."
KimyiBo received her BA in Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and an MFA in Printmaking from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. She has had solo exhibitions at Gallery Gaia in Seoul, Korea and the UV House in Heyri, Korea. She is a co-op member at the Highpoint Center for Printmaking and currently lives and works in the Twin Cities.
Exhibition Dates: May 18 - July 20, 2012
