Syllabus Workshop - Wed. Aug. 24
Are you frustrated by students who do not read your carefully crafted syllabus? Are you wondering if your syllabi contain too much, or not enough, information? Bring your syllabi and be ready to apply the CASE method (Copy And Steal Everything) in this hands-on syllabus construction deconstruction workshop. We will look at best practices in syllabus design, share and promote common language, and with any luck get some actual work done. Please bring your laptops and/or electronic copies of your syllabi. Led by CTL Faculty Fellows Jenny Hanson, Communication Studies, and Joe Erickson, Education.

LGBTQIA Workshop for Faculty - Thurs. Aug. 18
The first CTL workshop of the year is this Thursday! In this hands-on, discussion-based workshop, faculty will discuss strategies for creating welcoming, inclusive, and equitable classrooms and curricula for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) students, with a special focus on what they as faculty are experiencing in the classroom. Faculty are asked to bring examples of classroom situations they would like to discuss, syllabus statements they would like to workshop, and any other materials they would like feedback on.
This workshop does not meet the Ally Training requirement for the Diversity and Inclusion certificate; however, it does count toward the Advanced Standing certificate. This workshop is particularly suitable for faculty who have already completed Ally Training and want additional time to focus on specific classroom needs.
Led by Michael Grewe, Director of LGBTQIA Student Services and Assistant Director of Campus Activities and Orientation, and Adriane Brown, Assistant Professor and Director of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies.

General Announcements
The Civic Studies Initiative
Beginning in the 2016-17 academic year, the Civic Studies Initiative, co-sponsored by the Sabo Center, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Education Department, will acquaint the wider college and its community partners with the theory and practice of civic agency and its transdisciplinary field of Civic Studies.
The Civic Studies Initiative will include four symposia open to all faculty, staff, students, and the public. These symposia will introduce Civic Studies as presenting a different definition of citizen, citizen as co-creator, and what that implies. They will also explain how to integrate civic agency skills into courses and student activities; look at how the "democracy college" lens calls for rethinking assessment to emphasize cooperative excellence; and explore what "public scholarship" looks like with a Civic Studies lens. The first symposium will be held on Thursday, Sept. 22 from 8 to 9:30 a.m.
Another aspect of the initiative will be the selection of Civic Studies Augsburg Fellows and Community Fellows. These will be chosen from a variety of disciplines and staff units as well as community partners, forming a learning community, which will help organize the subsequent symposia, undertake more thorough study of Civic Studies, and develop projects for policy and culture change.
Learn more at the following link and stay tuned throughout the year for more details on upcoming symposia.
