Scheduling Interfaith Fellow Wendy Goldberg to lecture in your course

submitted by fieldl@augsburg.edu

Dear Augsburg Faculty,

Welcome back! I’m delighted to be in my second year as a Christensen Interfaith Fellow. I’m available to lecture in your classes throughout the school year, but this fall have very limited availability during daytime courses, so created a sign-up for you to connect with me. I generally teach the basics of Judaism, but can tailor a class to your needs related to Judaism.

Evening classes are pretty easy for me to do Monday-Thursday. For daytime hours, you can sign up for me to teach in your class through this online form: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f44aeab29a6f49-wendy

Looking forward to connecting with you. The best ways to reach me are:
wengold66@gmail.com or 612-386-1191

submitted by peacock@augsburg.edu

Abdi Nor Iftin, author of “Call Me American”, will be speaking at a Club Book event on Monday, September 17th at 7:00 PM in Hoversten Chapel. Iftin’s immigration story begins in war-torn Mogadishu, where he risked his life chronicling the rise of Islamic extremism in Somalia as an underground NPR correspondent. He narrowly escaped to a refugee camp in Kenya, where against long odds he received an invitation from the U.S. Embassy to interview for a visa in 2014. His story was the subject of a popular episode (“Abdi and the Golden Ticket”) of the radio show and podcast This American Life. This event is being sponsored by Hennepin County Library.
