Vehicle Safety Tips

submitted by publicsafety@augsburg.edu

The Department of Public Safety has received a few reports related to motor vehicle break-ins in the area in recent days. As a reminder, to discourage vehicle break-ins and theft:

— Do not leave valuables such as computers, cell phones, or backpacks in your vehicle.
— Do not leave cash, coins, credit cards, auto registration or other important papers in plain view or in the glove compartment.
— Whenever possible, bring valuables with you once you have parked your car. If you can’t bring them with you, lock all valuables in the trunk and out of sight.
— Always roll up windows, close the sunroof, and lock your doors before leaving your vehicle.

For assistance or to report suspicious activity, contact the Department of Public Safety at (612) 330-1717.

Applying for a Fulbright or Grad School? This Workshop Can Help

submitted by devries@augsburg.edu

Writing a personal statement is a standard part of all applications for Fulbright awards, other major grants and fellowships, and graduate school. But finding the right story line and voice is often hard. What exactly is a personal statement? What does it need to do? And what does a good one look like?

If an application is on your horizon, make time to attend a workshop on writing personal statements. This 90-minute session will help you understand what a personal statement is (and is not) and provide examples to guide and inspire.

Tuesday, June 30, 7 to 8:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)
Thursday, July 9, 12 noon to 1:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)

I can offer additional options if these times don’t work for your schedule — just contact me to discuss.

Last Day for Writing Contest

submitted by starckl@augsburg.edu

The local nonprofit Threads Dance Project (one of our neighbors!) is hosting a summer writing contest and hoping that members of the Augsburg community will participate.

Participants are asked to create a piece of writing inspired by one of four photographs from the Threads archives. Two winners will be chosen, and their work will be transformed and choreographed into a live performance piece that will be presented this fall. The new deadline is TONIGHT at 11:59 p.m. See below for more details.

“Dance Inspired By You” –

Threads Dance Project is holding an open call for community stories to celebrate our fifteen-year anniversary of telling stories of the human condition, often grounded in social justice. The extension deadline is Friday, June 26th, 2026.

Threads Dance Project Artistic/Executive Director, Karen Charles, is continuing this tradition, but in an expanded way, by calling on the community to create stories based on photographs that will form the basis of a new work, “Tell Me A Story”.

Threads is seeking Twin Cities-based artists, writers, and community members who want their words to come to life. Winning submissions will receive a $500.00 cash prize and have their work transformed into dance as part of our fall “Love Evolving” Anniversary Show.
