Many, many thanks to Jennifer Simon for all of her work on the Powwow that occurred on Saturday. Planning for such a major community event takes many months. The reason for such great success was Jennifer’s planning and engaging so many Auggies as well as members of the broader community in support of the Powwow. Thanks goes out to all of the volunteers who helped the Powwow go so smoothly. And congratulations to all of the graduates whom we celebrated for their accomplishment!

Wouldn’t it be GREAT if you could get paid to do an internship?

You may be able to do just that because of a grant awarded to Augsburg College. This program serves juniors and seniors who receive financial aid, improving their odds of graduating and preparing them to enter the workforce with real-world experience in their fields of study.

To be eligible:

* Students must be in good academic standing (2.0+ GPA).

* Students must be a college junior or senior (60 credits completed) at the time of the internship. (Second semester sophomores can apply as long as they hold junior standing BEFORE the internship begins.)

* Students must be eligible for financial aid (work study). Not sure if you are eligible? Email studentfinances@augsburg.edu or check your awards package.

* The internship must be related to your major or career aspirations.

* Internships will take place Summer 2017, Fall 2017, or Spring 2018.

Act now! Priority consideration is given to students who complete the short Augsburg application, so we recommend you complete it soon.

To learn more about the grant, visit http://www.augsburg.edu/strommen/. Apply for the grant through Inside Augsburg, On Campus Jobs. Search for “Great Lakes Grant.”

If you already have an unpaid internship lined up and would like to see if it can be turned into a Great Lakes site, please contact us at 612-330-1148, and we will assist you.

The community garden is looking for paper egg cartons, paper towel or toilet paper rolls, and paper coffee cups (like those ones from Einsteins, perhaps) to help us start some seedlings for our gardeners to plant. Drop off supplies any time this week outside the Sabo Center (basement of Anderson Residence Hall), and let Allyson (greena@augsburg.edu) or Nora (barre@augsburg.edu) know if you want to take some seedlings to your sunny office or home window to nurture for the next month and a half.
