The event, which continues the College's commitment to intentional diversity, will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and explore how students are prepared for a life of collaboration in a diverse, global environment, and how the College can live out its mission.

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 Fall
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
