Teaching and Learning
Assessment Day, February 24, 2015
Please note that no classes will be meet between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 on the Minneapolis campus for Assessment Day. Undergraduate departments and programs are generally expected to plan assessment activities with their students as part of their major/program assessment work for this academic year.
Assessment Day activities may include administering discipline-specific tests, convening focus groups, interviewing majors, and other activities. Because classes will not be held, day students can be required to participate during this time. The coordinator of assessment for each department/program should submit a plan for Assessment Day by January 30, 2015 to Katie Bishop (bishopc@augsburg.edu).
Faculty members who are not directly involved in Assessment Day activities should plan to attend an assessment workshop during that time. If you have questions, please contact Amy Gort (gort@augsburg.edu).

Career Quick Stop Days/Times Changing for Spring

About Quick Stop:
These drop-in hours are designed to expand access to career coaches and to accommodate impromptu student career questions as they arise. During Quick Stop hours students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis for brief, 15-minute drop-in appointments. These times are meant for quick career questions, brief resume or cover letter reviews, or help getting started with an internship or job search.
Quick Stop is not intended to replace longer appointments, and we regret we cannot accommodate career assessment requests during Quick Stop hours (please schedule an individual appointment: 612-330-1148).
Wells Fargo Makes $100,000 Gift to the CSBR
In recognition of Augsburg College's leadership in closing the higher education disparity gap for students of color in Minnesota, Wells Fargo has made a gift of $100,000 to the campaign to build the Center for Science, Business, and Religion (CSBR).
Wells Fargo joins several other corporations (including U.S. Bank, 3M, and General Mills) in supporting the CSBR.
In a statement, Dave Kvamme, CEO of Wells Fargo Minnesota, expressed admiration for Augsburg's commitment to partnering with College Access programs like College Possible to help recruit, support, and retain first-generation and low-income students.
"We support Augsburg College's commitment to provide opportunities for a college education for those students who may face life challenges to attain it," said Kvamme. "We know our donation will help Augsburg be successful in developing Minnesota's future business and community leaders."
In addition to this grant, Wells Fargo continues to fund a scholarship program through the Minnesota Private College Fund. The fund, started in 1976, provides scholarships at each of the 17 Minnesota Private Colleges, including Augsburg. Over 100 Augsburg alums are currently employed by Wells Fargo.
Delegates from Wells Fargo's Diversity Council Leadership Team visited the campus on December 18th, 2014 to present a check to a group of Augsburg student leaders.
