URGO Academic-Year Research Application Available

submitted by kundell@augsburg.edu

Each year URGO offers $1,000 research grants for undergraduates who wish to gain research experience with an Augsburg faculty member. These grants require 100 hours of research over the course of the academic year and are a great way to ease into research or to continue work on an existing project.

The application is available at the URGO website (www.augsburg.edu/urgo) at the “on-campus research” page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so student-faculty research teams are encouraged to submit proposals in the fall. The URGO Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly and will begin reviewing proposals September 10th.

If you have any questions about undergraduate research opportunities, please contact Kirsten O’Brien at obrienk@augsburg.edu or x1446

URGO Conference Travel Grants Available for Student Researchers

submitted by kundell@augsburg.edu

URGO offers up to $850 in travel funding for Augsburg undergraduates who have been accepted to present research at a professional conference. These funds can mitigate the high costs of travel such as airfare and lodging, and can contribute to students’ professionalization.

The application is available at the URGO website (www.augsburg.edu/urgo) at the “conference travel” page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to work with their research mentor to submit a travel application as soon as possible after receiving acceptance to a conference. The URGO Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly throughout the school year and will begin reviewing applications September 10th.

If you have any questions about undergraduate conference travel opportunities, please contact Kirsten O’Brien at obrienk@augsburg.edu or x1446.

Hear from past researchers and get the scoop on writing a strong application!

URGO Summer Research Program
The URGO Summer Research Program is an 11-week, on-campus program where undergraduate students are funded to conduct research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Student researchers gain important analytic, technical, and writing skills that are important for graduate school and careers. The URGO program also includes a weekly Speaker Series focused on research skills and professional development, as well as weekly seminars with fellow researchers. Students from all disciplines are invited to participate, and past projects have ranged from biology lab work to theater performance. URGO provides full-time summer researchers (400 hours) with a $4,000 stipend while half-time researchers (200 hours) receive a $2,000 stipend. Both receive a significant campus housing discount as well. The program runs from mid-May to the end of July and students must plan to be enrolled at Augsburg for Fall 2019 to be eligible.

URGO Summer Research Assistantships
In addition to the URGO Summer Research Program, URGO also funds 100-hour summer research assistantships where undergraduate students assist a faculty member with an ongoing research project. Research Assistants and mentors determine how to spread the 100 hours of work over the course of the summer and it is an excellent opportunity to try out research for the first time or focus on a specific aspect of a research project.

If you have any questions regarding the program or cannot make it to an info session and would like to learn more, please contact urgo@augsburg.edu or call 612-330-1446 to set up an appointment.

Sesquicentennial Story Circle Next Monday

submitted by thompso2@augsburg.edu

Please join us for the next SESQUICENTENNIAL STORY CIRCLE – Monday, November 12 at 7:00pm in the Foss Green Room. We need your “Augsburg Story” to create a new Music-Theater piece celebrating the diversity of Augsburg University. We will gather for 1½ to 2 hours to tell stories, write down thoughts, and share experiences about Augsburg. Theater professionals Leah Cooper of Wonderlust Productions and Aaron Gabriel (‘01) of Interact Theater will facilitate, posing questions such as, “Tell us about your first day at Augsburg and what that was like.” “Tell us about a moment when you realized this was exactly the right or wrong place for you.” “Tell us about your favorite place, object or person at Augsburg.” If you don’t feel like sharing, you can just listen. Nobody’s story or experiences will be used in the play directly (like a documentary); they’ll be blended together into a fictional story, protecting the privacy of those who share.
We hope to see you and hear your stories – crazy, funny, serious or whatever – next Monday evening! To RSVP, or if you need accommodations because of a disability, please contact Sonja Thompson (thompso2@augsburg.edu). Feel free to invite other Augsburg colleagues and friends!

Interested in the U.S. food system? Check out this documentary screening

submitted by jacobsn@augsburg.edu

Up to 40 percent of the food in the United States is never eaten. But at the same time, one in eight Americans struggles to put enough food on the table. This amounts to 21% of the U.S. agricultural water usage, and growing, processing, transporting, and disposing that uneaten food has an annual cost of $218 billion (National Resources Defense Council).

Join us for a discussion and viewing of the film Wasted! The Story of Food Waste

November 13 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Augsburg campus, Science Hall, Room 123
