Auggies Named as 2015-16 Thrivent Fellows

Three Augsburg College faculty and staff members have been named to the 2015-2016 Thrivent Fellows Program: Kelly Anderson Diercks, associate athletic director; Jacqui de Vries, professor of history and director of General Education; and Rebecca John '13 MBA, vice president of marketing and communication.

The Thrivent Fellows Program is a rigorous, 12-month program designed to develop and equip high-capacity leaders for leadership roles in Lutheran colleges and universities. The program is sponsored by the Lutheran Educational Conference of North America, Thrivent Financial, the Concordia University System of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the Congregational and Synodical Mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Candidates for the program were selected based on their dedication to the mission and distinctiveness of Lutheran colleges, seminaries and universities; a strong record of service to these institutions; a clear potential for top-level leadership; and their vocational calls to lead these important institutions.

Pleases join me in congratulating Kelly, Jacqui, and Rebecca and supporting their work in this program.

Campus-Wide IDI-Guided Development Reboot

In response to student input from the spring 2014 focus groups and the fall 2014 survey, and the "Great Colleges to Work For" survey, the Diversity and Inclusion Committee Core is implementing five initiatives, one of which includes increasing the intercultural competence of faculty and staff (and students when applicable). An associated action step includes the campus-wide revitalization and reboot of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) and IDI-guided development process first implemented in 2010.

The IDI is Augsburg's preferred tool of measurement of intercultural competence and the IDI-guided development process offers Augsburg faculty and staff a confidential Individual Development Plan to support movement on the development continuum, i.e. growth in personal intercultural competence. Ultimately, Augsburg would like to have all faculty and staff complete the inventory and plan on a rotating basis so that individuals have an opportunity to monitor their personal growth.

Human Resources, in partnership with the Diversity and Inclusion Committee Core, is pleased to support five cohort groups completing the IDI. In addition to completing the IDI, each participant will receive a confidential Individual Development Plan with a consultant before the end of this fiscal year. This cohort group mainly includes new hires, individuals who have expressed interest in taking the IDI, and individuals from critical roles (such as supervisors) and departments with a high volume of student contact. Within the next few days these individuals will receive invitations to participate in the cohort group. For individuals who are not included in this May cohort group, please note that we are budgeting for additional cohorts in the new fiscal year. It is our goal to have all faculty and staff integrated into a rotation within the next couple of years.

Questions can be directed to Joanne K. Reeck at reeck@augsburg.edu.
