Teach an Honors Elective: Call for Proposals

No, really. We'd love to hear your ideas about teaching electives in the Honors Program.

We're looking for interesting courses that might be offered multiple times, on a regular basis -- no need to worry about one-off course design. A fully developed syllabus is not needed at this point. We just need some really good ideas.

Please submit your concept proposals, for possible offering in the fall 2016 or spring 2017, by October 30, to:
honors@augsburg.edu

More details and the application form are available at:

Hecker, Lilija winners of Auggie Pride Award

We are delighted to announce that Sue Hecker (Office of Admisssions) and Jolee Lilija (Office of Leadership Studies) have received the Auggie Pride Award for the month of September. The Auggie Pride Award is presented to Augsburg staff as a token of appreciation for their dedication and work that goes above and beyond what is expected.

Nomination for Sue Hecker:
Sue is the Data Processing Coordinator for the Office of Admissions. Her attention to detail to all of our student records is extremely important to the admissions process but also to the university as a whole as it is critical that all student records are complete prior to student matriculation. However, that is not where it ends. At times there can be glitches within a process that need fixing or a student situation is complex and requires trouble shooting across departments. Sue's ability to look at all perspectives is so important and welcomed when the issue is not always simple. She does all of this with a smile and respect for her fellow colleagues. Sue holds a position that is behind the scenes within the admissions process, but we couldn't support our students the way we do without her ability to handle so many details.

Nomination for Jolee Lilija:
Jolee, a 2015 graduate of the MAL program, is the new program director for the Master of Arts in Leadership and the Center for Leadership Studies. In the few months that she has been at Augsburg, she has launched a LinkedIn page for MAL students, faculty, and alumni; developed expertise in Qualtrics for the department to use in surveying current, former, and prospective students; and has made several constructive changes to the MAL new student orientation program. MAL is undergoing an institutional program review this year and her work has helped lay a solid foundation for that work.

To nominate an Augsburg staff for this monthly award, email the name of the staff person and reason for your nomination to staff senate@augsburg.edu.

Wanted: A Good Home for Two Cats

Two brother and sister cats need a good home, preferably together. Could this be your home? Their caretaker and human companion passed away last week so they are in need of a new, permanent home. My good friend is taking care of them until one can be found. They are seven years and four months old and have always lived together. They are a mature male and female who have been spayed and neutered. On Monday they went to the vet and are now up-to-date on their shots. Health records available. Call Trina at 612-987-7144 for more information and she'll call you back.
