Hello Everyone
On Friday (10/7), there is an All School Reunion taking place at Hagfors. With this event taking place, there will be some parking restrictions on 10/7. Please read through this very carefully:
1. By 3pm, all cars from 21st Ave & Lots D & A must be cleared
2. If any cars are in these spots by 3pm, they will be towed to Lot L at the owner’s expense. No exceptions
3. If you plan on attending the event, still park in Lot L. We are clearing the lots for those who are attending the event and not working with Augsburg as we are expecting quite a large turnout
4. There will continue to be A Mail postings and another email on Thursday with this information. We will also be posting ‘Warning Slips’ on cars in the lots. These Warnings aren’t actual violations and won’t be charged to your account.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email parking@augsburg.edu.
Have a good Homecoming week

Informed mentoring/advising of our students can be critical to their success, on-time graduation, and achieving their academic goals. The Degree Audit we’ve been using since 2021 is designed to help students and their faculty mentors better and more effectively communicate with each other about university and discipline-based requirements specific to each student as well as documentation of the student’s progression toward graduation.
In response to faculty requests, the Registrar’s Office Graduation Team is pleased to offer two sessions to help faculty learn more about the Degree Audit and how to use it as a tool for mentoring/advising students. Faculty may attend one or both workshops, and should RSVP planned attendance to one or both by sending an email to graduation@augsburg.edu no later than 11am the day of the session.
Faculty Development Workshop: Degree Audit Tutorial [NEW! Repeat of Monday October 3rd Session]]
October 5 from 11:10am-12:20pm in Sverdrup Hall 201
Description: Receive step-by-step, hands-on degree audit training from the Registrar’s Office Graduation Team. Feel free to bring your own laptop. RSVP by 11 am the day of the event by sending an email to graduation@augsburg.edu.

October 5 from 3:40-5:10pm in Sverdrup Hall 205 (computer lab).

Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Junior Summer Institute is an intensive seven-week summer program that focuses on preparing students for careers as policy professionals, public administrators and other leadership roles in public service. The program was started to address the lack of diversity across the spectrum of professional public service, including government, nonprofits, public policy institutions, and international organizations. The purpose of the JSI Fellowship is to prepare students to obtain a Master’s or joint degree, in public policy, public administration, international affairs, or a related field.
Selected participants spend the summer at one of six participating universities (University of Minnesota, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, University of Washington or University of Michigan) where they take courses, learn from top leaders in the field and build their professional skills. Students must have junior or senior status and be planning to graduate between December 2023 and August 2024. To be competitive for this opportunity, students should have a 3.5 GPA or above. There is no cost to attend and participants receive a stipend.
Application Due Date; November 1, 2022.
Contact URGO at urgo@augsburg.edu and reference your interest in PPIA before October 7 to set up a meeting to learn more.

October is cyber security awareness month. Every faculty and staff member has an important role to play in protecting the security of the data kept by the University.
In our digital lives data is at the heart of it. Augsburg has been trusted with data on our students, employees, alumni and donors. Your login information provides a key into Augsburg and that key needs to be protected. Also, as part of Augsburg’s Title IV financial aid requirements and insurance requirements employees must complete training twice a year for Augsburg to be compliant.
This year we have selected a new training provider with current topics and a more engaging delivery. You will see notification emails coming this week will be from system@litmos.com which is the training platform. The content should take you less than 30 minutes to complete.

Do you like art of all different mediums? Do you believe art should be more accessible to the Augsburg community? Do you think getting art published should be accessible to anyone and everyone in the Augsburg community? If you agree, you’ll be a great addition to the Thó Wiŋ Magazine editorial board!
We are looking for editors and a graphic designer to help us with our student organization that has been around since the mid 70s. These are stipend positions $$$ and a great way to dip your toe into the wonderful world of publishing.
There are a few open positions for anyone and everyone of any skill level or experience. We do especially encourage BIPOC, AAPI, queer, trans, non-binary, women, and/or underclassmen to apply.
If you have any questions, please reach out to one or both of our lead editors Jack J [he/him/they] (jensen11@augsburg.edu) or Corey H [they/them] (haydenc@augsburg.edu)
