From Muffins to Merlot: Diversity and Global Learning Infusion Workshop will be held on Tuesday, May 8 in the Minneapolis Room of Christensen Center. All faculty and staff are invited to attend. R.S.V.P. to Terry Martin at x1229 or martin@augsburg.edu by Thursday, May 3.

This workshop will prepare the Augsburg community for the increasingly diverse student population that will be coming to the college in the next decade. It is a part of a larger initiative that will help define thinking about diversity and global learning on campus and how it can be incorporated into the curriculum.

Participants will engage in a series of interactive and reflective activities that examine a global issue, look at different cultural perspectives on that issue, and examine personal perspectives on what to do about it. There will then be a conversation about different ways to apply the model in classes.

It is one of many development sessions designed to help infuse diversity and global learning into the curriculum.
