CTL Summer Scholarship Grants
Applications due March 15
Applications should be submitted online at http://inside.augsburg.edu/ctl/grant-applications/
The purpose of the Dean's Summer Scholarship Grants and the Grangaard Summer Scholarship Grants is to support well-defined faculty scholarship projects. The expectation is that receipt of the grant will make it possible for faculty to accelerate completion of a significant project.
Two $4,000 Dean's Summer Scholarship Grants will be awarded for Summer 2013. All tenured or tenure-track, full-time faculty who are in at least the second year of their contract are eligible to apply.
Three $2,000 Grangaard Summer Scholarship Grants will be awarded for Summer 2013. All full-time faculty are eligible to apply; priority is given to tenure-track faculty who have not received this grant in the previous three years.
Please complete the online Summer Scholarship application form (available at http://inside.augsburg.edu/ctl/grant-applications/) describing the project, explaining its potential significance, summarizing the work already accomplished, providing a timetable and plan for completion, explaining how it will accelerate project completion, and describing how it fits with your department's definition of scholarship. Submit a curriculum vitae (PDF document, please) as an email attachment to ctl@augsburg.edu. Applications should be submitted no later than March 15, 2013.
Applications will be reviewed by the full Faculty Development Committee, and awards will be announced in early April. All grant recipients must submit a progress report by September 1, 2013. Recipients of the Dean's Scholarship Grant must submit a short final report by February 1, 2014.
Staff Development Series
Subject: Facilitating Access for All
Date: Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Time: 8-9:30 a.m.
Location: Riverside Room, Christensen Center
In your job at Augsburg, do you:
- Send email?
- Create documents that are distributed to students, faculty, staff, or outside parties?

This interactive session includes some time visiting different campus spaces.

CTL Night at the Theater
April 12 at 7 p.m.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center
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 the spring production, RSVP to ctl@augsburg.edu This year, we have reserved tickets for:
Cabaret
By Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Darcey Engen
Music Direction by Sonja Thompson
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.

Change to Website Page Templates
Attention website content managers! In the next few days, I will be making a change to our page templates on www.augsburg.edu that will affect how "featured images" display.
The new templates will create a slight change in how featured images look on the page, but will not change how you add a featured image. Let me emphasize: you do not need to do anything to prepare for this change, nor will it change what you currently do to add or remove a featured image. If you have any questions, contact Joe Mann at mannj@augsburg.edu

Keeping Clean Yard Sale
As Spring slowly arrives, we all begin to clean out our closets, dorm spaces, homes, and apartments in celebration of warmer weather.
Augsburg Step-Up and members of Project Management Section A, are asking for your help by donating your gently used clothing, accessories, dorm room/apartment furnishings, and electronics. Items will be donated to the First annual Keeping clean Yard Sale, Fundraiser and Informational. Being held on Friday April 5, 2013 In the Oren Gateway Atrium (Date Change) from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

All the proceeds made from this yard sale will go to the building of a Scholarship fund that would benefit the countless students within the Step-Up program who cannot afford the ever rising cost of tuition, housing, and books.
With the help of donations from the Augsburg community and the broader surrounding Twin Cities area, we hope to make a difference and show our support for a pivotal group in our Augsburg community. All donations can be made to us in the Christensen Center on:
