New Class This Fall | Study Leadership
Interested in learning more about how to be an advocate for important issues and projects? Do you think of yourself as a leader or as a developing leader? If so, there is a new course this fall -- LS 205: Introduction to Leadership Studies. This course is part of the new Minor in Leadership Studies and is open to all students, regardless of major. Students can enroll in LS 205 without committing to the minor. This course will help students more clearly understand the practice of leadership as well as their own capacity to lead.
Enroll today. For more information, please contact Jolee Lilja at liljaj@augsburg.edu
Launch of Website Refresh
On Monday, August 22, Augsburg will launch a refreshed design of our public website, www.augsburg.edu. The changes are designed to make the site easier to navigate for visitors (in particular, prospective students), encourage prospective students to stay on the site longer, highlight the characteristics that make Augsburg distinctive, and ultimately drive more prospective students (day, graduate, and adult undergraduate) to inquire about attending Augsburg.
The changes will include a new homepage layout and complementary refinements to department websites. High-traffic landing pages--including Admissions, About, Academics and Campus Life--also will be refreshed. You can find a preview of the new look at https://drive.google.com/a/augsburg.edu/folderview?id=0Bw3TkarzIotWaEJTb2FZSnlIaFk&usp=sharing.
Content managers have been notified about the changes. There should be no website down time during this transition, although you may notice some web pages in the new layout and others still in the old format during the course of the roll-out on the 22nd.
Please send any questions or concerns to mannj@augsburg.edu.
Farewell Reception for Eric Canny
Dear faculty and staff colleagues,
I hope you will join me as we say good-bye to Eric Canny, who will be leaving Augsburg at the end of this month to pursue a new leadership opportunity as the Vice President of Program Management, with CEA Study Abroad, an organization that provides international education experiences. A reception with light refreshments and a short program will be held on Monday, August 22, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in OGC 100.
I know I am joined by many who are thankful for Eric's leadership and expertise with the global education programs provided by Augsburg over the past two years. We wish Eric all the best in this new time in his career!
