McNair Scholars Program Recruiting for Spring 2015
Augsburg College's TRIO McNair Scholars Program is recruiting for Spring 2015 admission. The goal of the program is to prepare Scholars for graduate study through academics, involvement in undergraduate research and other scholarly activities. McNair teams Scholars with other academically strong students who aspire to graduate study, and helps them to achieve that dream.
The McNair Scholars Program works with students who are members of groups underrepresented in graduate education and who exhibit strong academic potential. The program provides coursework, workshops and advising in preparation for doctoral study. Also, the program assists with securing admission to and financial assistance for enrollment in graduate programs. Students will acquire the research skills necessary to succeed in graduate school through a paid research internship ($4000) with an Augsburg faculty member during the Summer of 2016.
The McNair Scholars Program is a federal TRIO grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, to be eligible, students must be first-generation (neither parent graduated from a four-year college) AND low-income OR may be persons from groups underrepresented in graduate education. The Department of Education defines these groups as African-American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hispanic/Latino. Additionally, applicants must be either U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents.
If you are interested in learning more about the McNair Scholars Program, please contact Lara Crombie, Program Assistant at crombie@augsburg.edu or (612) 330-1380 to schedule an appointment. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions about the program or if you're unsure whether or not you qualify.
Application Deadline: Friday, March 27, 5 p.m.
What Do You Do When the Conversation Gets Heated?
Staff and Faculty, have you ever had a class session or meeting meltdown because a controversy or conflict got too hot to handle? Our next CTL coffee will offer a chance to share stories, successes, and tips. A brief presentation featuring strategies to handle "hot moments" will also be offered. In preparation for the discussion, please read Managing Hot Moments in the Classroom http://web.augsburg.edu/ctl/ManagingHotMoments.pdf. While the article focuses on classroom discussions, our conversation will focus on several areas in which the moment can get heated.

Our Passion to Teach
Our Passion to Teach - Discovery and Fulfillment of Our Teaching Values, Vision, and Purpose
Author and educator, Parker Palmer states, "Community, or connectedness, is the principle behind good teaching, but different teachers with different gifts create community in surprisingly diverse ways, using widely divergent methods."
Building on Palmer's assertion, and reflecting on and rekindling our own passion to teach has compelled a group of us at Augsburg, led by Dave Conrad, to create and offer interactive opportunities for faculty to gather, reflect on our teaching values and purpose, and to share our discoveries, challenges, and successes in our quest to do what we love to do most - teach. Instead of just seeking gaps, errors, and flaws in teaching, our group's spirit and intent is to discover and help fulfill what we do best.
The initial conversation will be held on Thursday, March 26th, and we will take time to articulate what "Our Passion to Teach" dialogue series should be and become. If you want to join the conversation, please come to SVE 102 (note room change) from 3:45-4:45. All you need to bring is your passion to teach.
