General Announcements

A Big Thank You

I am extremely happy to announce that just over 80 staff members completed their Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Group Profile Sessions last week and will continue with their Individual Profile Sessions this week and next. This level of commitment to further developing personal intercultural competency will help Augsburg College as a whole continue to move towards the fully inclusive and affirming campus for which we all strive.

An additional thank you to Jim Trelstad-Porter, David Hamilton, and Leah Spinosa de Vega for joining me as facilitators for these sessions.

For more information about the Campus-Wide IDI-Guided Development Reboot, please contact Joanne K. Reeck at reeck@augsburg.edu.

Fall Major/Career Exploration Weeks Coming in 2015

Get involved! New pilot program coming for Fall 2015: Fall Major/Career Exploration Weeks

To better support students in exploring options for majors and careers, Career & Internship Services is partnering with URGO to plan a new five-week program series for fall 2015 - and we hope you will be involved! (Details: http://www.augsburg.edu/strommen/calendar/fall-majorcareer-exploration-series/)

The program is designed to help students explore majors and careers by disciplines in alignment with our academic divisions, plus a week focused on pre-health and one designed to meet the needs of undecided students or those still exploring majors or careers.

During each of the five weeks Career & Internship Services and/or URGO will host a panel discussion featuring a mix of alumni, employers, faculty, and other experts linked to the majors and disciplines featured that week.

In addition, faculty, staff and students are invited to plan additional offerings during the weeks that most closely align to their major, department, or organization mission/focus (see list of dates below and online). Career & Internship Services will promote the full slate of offerings to students, provided information is received by our deadline.

The Fall 2015 weeks are scheduled as follows:

Week of Sept. 21: Professional Studies
Week of Sept. 28: Fine Arts & Humanities
Week of Oct. 5: Natural & Social Sciences
Week of Oct. 12: Pre-Health Week
Week of Oct. 19: Undecided/Exploratory Student Week

Special Screening Tomorrow: Exodus Documentary

Islam, Christianity, and Judaism memorialize "The Exodus" -- the escape of the descendants of Abraham from slavery in Egypt. But historians have asked, "Did the Exodus actually happen?" "Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus" sifts the archeological evidence.

Tuesday, May 5, 7-9 p.m. in Sateren Auditorium.

Admission: Free

This award-winning 2014 documentary challenges both "literalist" and "minimalist" understandings of history and the Bible. In addition to a screening of the film, there will be time for Q&A with local filmmaker, Tim Mahoney, as well as with David Rohl, one of the scholars featured in the film. Hosted by the Augsburg College Religion Department. For more information about the film, check out the website: http://www.patternsofevidence.com/en/
