CTL Night at the Theater

During both fall and spring semesters, CTL reserves tickets to an Augsburg theater production and offers them to faculty, staff, and their significant others. Theater offers a unique way of learning or knowing – from stories that touch our hearts and mind. Experiencing it together adds a social dimension that allows us to discover what the stories mean to others and what new possibilities they see. Through theater we can be healed and transformed, as well as entertained. All productions are in the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater.

Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to attend either or both of these productions, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu). This year, we have reserved tickets for:

Debt
Developed by Sarah Myers
Site Specific Performances: October 25-November 2
Town Hall Meetings: November 1
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center

What does debt mean to you?

Debt isn't a conventional theater production—it's not a production at all, in fact. The students who are chosen to be part of this project will lead a series of four town hall meetings about student debt using participatory, popular theatre techniques. Think of it as an interactive four-day forum. Leading up to this forum, there will also be a week of short performances, projects, and events throughout the Augsburg campus designed to generate conversation about student debt and encourage students, staff, and faculty to attend the town hall meetings.

As a Town Hall Nation project, Debt is part of a national engagement initiative inviting arts organizations, colleges, and other community groups to create events that demonstrate, present, or embody an ideal town hall meeting.

Cabaret
By Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Darcey Engen
Music Direction by Sonja Thompson

April 12, at 7 p.m.

Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center

Set in the fictional Kit Kat Klub in 1930s Berlin, the musical Cabaret depicts the immense political upheaval taking place in Germany during the rise of Nazi power. Based on a book by Christopher Isherwood, with music by Kander and Ebb, the story portrays several couples that meet and fall in love, only to see their relationships unravel as the Nazis begin to infiltrate all elements of their lives.

Leadership Series

2012-13 Reading Circle
Julie Clow's The Work Revolution: Freedom and Excellence for All
Facilitator: Paul Terrio
Schedule: Tuesdays 8:30-10 a.m.
(October 2, November 6, December 4, January 8, February 5, March 5, April 2)
Location: Augsburg Room – Christensen Center

Embrace connectivity, increase empowerment, and achieve better work-life blending.

We live in a new age of global organizations, hyper-access to information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling portrait of a different kind of work.

"I believe freedom in the workplace is worth fighting for and every person and every organization can be excellent."

Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force, the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving, liberated organizations (such as Google, which is repeatedly named as the Best Workplace) into clear principles that any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create sustainable and engaging lives.
• Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend
• Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to change
• Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to enable greater autonomy and impact
• Outlines organizational culture principles that support and nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear options for instituting cultural change based on specific organizational challenges

Rejecting productivity Band-Aids and quick fixes, The Work Revolution conceptualizes a completely new workplace that embraces the always-connected reality to create organizations in which high achievers can sustainably thrive.

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss. If you'd like to attend, please register with Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu) and pick up a book. Let her know if you prefer to receive an e-book.

Community Building Series

2012-13 Reading Circle
Seth Godin's Linchpin: An Unsettling Call to Be Indispensable
Facilitator: Ashok Kapoor
Schedule: Thursdays, 3:30-5 p.m.
(September 20, October 18, November 15, February 7, and March 14)
Location: Augsburg Room-Christensen Center

First Reading: Chapters 1-4

In our society linchpins are those individuals that hold things together. Yes, organizations might succeed or thrive for a while without them, but eventually as pressure is applied and structures are tested, things will fall apart. Godin clearly illustrates that we are in a critical time in history when a new breed of worker and leader are required. We need linchpins to solve our problems, keep us connected, and inspire us with art. People who are linchpins are creative, good at connecting with others, and able to see solutions like no one else. They truly are indispensable.

As Seth Godin explains this concept to his readers, he turns their minds upside down in order to convince them that they are in some way capable of being one. He explains how we got here, criticizing the public education system for creating cogs to fill factories and consumers to buy what they produce. He argues that we get exactly what we focus on. In the end we wind-up with drones that do what they are told.

There is no shortage of pundits today that criticize the flaws of our education system, but few will offer a solution. He challenges teachers to inspire student to think instead of follow rulebooks and ace tests. He even goes as far as telling us to give ourselves a D for the rut we have fallen into.

Linchpin could be Mr. Godin's greatest work so far. He treats the subject with history and sociology as well as a compelling mix of fact, story and philosophy. Using examples that will both shock and inspire, Linchpin leaves you feeling like you have no choice but to reassess your current situation and make the changes he so eloquently urges us toward.

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss. If you'd like to attend, please register with Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu) and pick up a book. Let her know if you prefer to receive an e-book.

Inclusiveness Series

2012-13 Reading Circle
Susan E. Pick and Jenna Sirkin's Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development
Facilitators: Matt Maruggi and Joe Underhill
Schedule: 12:00-1:30 p.m.Wednesdays
October 10 - Marshall Room
November 7 - Riverside Room
December 5 - Riverside Room
January 23 - Riverside Room
Batalden Convocation, February 20 at 10 a.m.

Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms.

The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development.. Through powerful testimonies, the book shows how the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs assists people in taking the control of their lives. Our discussion will examine how this approach can apply to our work at Augsburg.

Susan Pick, a professor of psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, will give the Batalden Symposium in Applied Ethics on February 20.

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss.

Community Building Series

2012-13 Reading Circle
Andrew Delbanco's College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be
Facilitator: Doug Green
Schedule: Tuesdays 3:30-5 p.m.
(September 25, October 16, November 20, February 19, March 26, April 16)
Location: Lindell 301

As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the narrow aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. The traditional four-year college experience--an exploratory time for students to discover their passions and test ideas and values with the help of teachers and peers--is in danger of becoming a thing of the past.

In College, prominent cultural critic Andrew Delbanco offers a trenchant defense of such an education, and warns that it is becoming a privilege reserved for the relatively rich. In arguing for what a true college education should be, he demonstrates why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.

In a brisk and vivid historical narrative, Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. Acknowledging the serious financial, intellectual, and ethical challenges that all colleges face today, Delbanco considers what is at stake in the urgent effort to protect these venerable institutions for future generations.

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss.
