URGO Summer Research App Due Feb. 4
The URGO Summer Research Program is a 10-week, on-campus program where students are funded to join a faculty member's on-going research/creative line or carry out an individually-designed project. Students receive support throughout the research process from their faculty mentor, weekly seminars, and roundtable discussions with fellow researchers. URGO provides full-time summer researchers with a $4,000 stipend while half-time researchers receive a $2,000 stipend. The program runs from the last week of May to the first week of August.
URGO is also rolling out a new Research Assistantship option this summer that provides funding for students to work for a professor as a research assistant on an ongoing research project. This is a 100-hour commitment over the course of the summer and comes with a $1,000 stipend. This is an excellent opportunity to try out research for the first time or focus on a specific aspect of a research project.
Visit the URGO website for directions on how to apply for these research opportunities:

Augsburg MFA-Creative Writing Nonfiction Mentor Jack El-Hai will read from his work on January 31 in the Admissions Lounge, ground floor of the Christensen Center. The reading is sponsored by the Augsburg Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, and begins at 6:30 p.m.
Lost Minnesota and The Lobotomist will be for sale, and Jack will be available to sign books. The Lobotomist is print on demand, so if you would like to purchase a copy, please email Laura Forgey at the bookstore at forgey@augsburg.edu by January 23 to make sure we have a copy for you.
Jack El-Hai is a writer of literary journalism and creative nonfiction. His books include The Nazi and the Psychiatrist (Public Affairs, forthcoming), Turbulent Air: A History of Northwest Airlines (University of Minnesota Press, forthcoming), and The Lobotomist: A Maverick Medical Genius and His Tragic Quest to Rid the World of Mental Illness (Wiley). The Lobotomist is currently in production as a TV series pilot for HBO and was previously adapted as a PBS American Experience television documentary.
Jack's newest project, The Nazi and The Psychiatrist is slated for publication by Public Affairs Books and has recently been optioned for stage and screen by Mythology Entertainment. The book explores the complex relationship between American psychiatrist Dr. Douglas M. Kelley and Nazi war criminal and Hitler's right-hand man Hermann Goering. It is the first to access Kelley's personal and professional papers from the Nuremberg Trial years, which the shrink's family had hidden away for years.
Jack's essays and articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Wired, Scientific American Mind, The History Channel Magazine, American Heritage, and The Saturday Evening Post. Winner of a Minnesota Book Award and a McKnight Artist Fellowship, he is a past president of the American Society of Journalists and Authors. He holds an MFA in creative writing from Bennington College and an undergraduate degree in English from Carleton College.
Gain Medical Field Experience as a Scribe
On January 30, URGO will be hosting an information session on medical scribing with Lead Scribe, an emergency department scribing agency in the Twin Cities. A scribe is a medical documentation specialist who works with an emergency department physician to produce medical notes recording what occurs during a patient's visit. The scribe is directly involved in patient interviews and physical exams and continues as an integral part of the treatment team throughout the patient's stay in the emergency department. Many students applying for medical school or other health-related fields have found scribing to be a great learning experience.
Scribe Information Session

Time: 6-7 p.m.
Location: Science 212
Pizza will be provided!
