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.

Prof Lapakko Finalist in Great American Think-Off
Congratulations to Communication Studies Professor David Lapakko, who is once again a finalist in the Great American Think-Off, a philosophy competition that is held each year in New York Mills, MN. This year, out of hundreds of essays that were submitted, Lapakko's was selected as one of the four best. The debate question this year is, "Does technology free us or trap us?" On June 13, Lapakko will head to New York Mills to debate the other three finalists in competition for the gold medal. In 2013, David was also a finalist and bronze medal winner on the topic, "Which is more ethical: sticking to principle or being willing to compromise?" Now in its 23rd year, the Great American Think-Off is an event sponsored by the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center and is held in the town's high school auditorium.
