Paid Summer Program to Study Public Policy

submitted by pearsong@augsburg.edu

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.

TODAY: Solar Energy Demonstration Project on Campus

submitted by underhil@augsburg.edu

Today at 4:00pm the Augsburg community is invited for a celebration as we “flip the switch” on the first solar-powered building on campus. The demonstration project, funded by the student-led Environmental Action Committee and dubbed a “Unit of Resistance,” is a small work shed located on the south side of campus. The structure has a 2 kiloWatt solar array on its roof and a battery bank and power system that can be used for powering tools and other projects in this outdoor maker space. The blue shed with a bright red door (hard to miss) is located for now where 21st Avenue dead-ends at the freeway wall, at the west end of Lot B. After the system is turned on there will be some food, socializing, discussion of other ways to reduce Augsburg’s carbon footprint, and of other creative projects students can participate in.
