Hot Water Shut Off in Melby

There will not be any hot water in Si Melby and the Ice Arena beginning the evening of Sunday, June 24, through 4 p.m. on Friday, June 29, due to maintenance repairs. Toilets and sinks will still have water and will be functional, but there will not be hot water. Kennedy will not be affected by this work, and it will have both hot and cold water in the facilities during this time period.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate your patience while we do these repairs. If you have any questions, contact Terri at adamsth@augsburg.edu or call extension 1566.

2012 Vocation of a Lutheran College Conference

The eighteenth annual Vocation of a Lutheran College Conference will convene at Augsburg from Monday, July 30 - Wednesday, August 1. This year's theme is "A Calling to Embrace Creation: Lutheran Higher Education, Sustainability, and Stewardship."

The agenda for the conference is available at: http://www.augsburg.edu/acfl/documents/2012Agenda.pdf

The ELCA sponsors teams of up to five faculty and staff from each of the ELCA Colleges to attend this annual gathering. Each year this conference brings together our Lutheran college colleagues to explore the distinctive roles we play in higher education. As was true for the last three years, one of the benefits being the host site is that we have the option of inviting more than five faculty and staff to attend.

To register for the conference, please go to: http://www.augsburg.edu/acfl/conferenceapplication.html

If you have questions about registration, contact Lonna Field at 612-330-1467 or acfl@augsburg.edu. If you would like more information about the conference, contact Tom Morgan at 1773 or morgan@augsburg.edu
