100% Clean Energy Bill Signed Into Law in Minnesota

submitted by mcdaniem@augsburg.edu

Last night, Governor Walz signed the 100% Clean Energy by 2040 bill into law. It requires Minnesota utilities to provide 100% carbon-free electricity to customers by 2040 taking great steps to combat climate change and expand clean energy jobs in the state. This is an exciting moment for Minnesota in furthering its climate action goals and has incredible potential to expedite Augsburg’s climate mitigation efforts.

I encourage you to read the Commentary piece on the legislation in the Minnesota Reformer. (https://minnesotareformer.com/2023/02/01/minnesota-college-students-write-on-the-urgency-of-the-legislatures-2040-climate-plan/) Augsburg senior and Environmental Studies major, Zoe Barany, was its co-author along with peers from universities across the state. They advocated for the very 100% Clean Energy legislation that Governor Walz signed into law. To read more about this law’s impacts on Augsburg climate goals, check out the latest Sabo Center blog post linked below.

A Message From Augsburg Staff Union

submitted by stoddard@augsburg.edu

Everyone is welcome to check out the Augsburg Staff Union’s first union contract on our website, linked below. We also wanted to share our excitement about the Parental Leave and additional personal days that President Pribbenow announced. These benefits are the result of the Augsburg Staff Union’s negotiations over the last two years. We are so glad that the administration decided to extend the benefits we secured in our contract to all benefits-eligible staff, even those not in our union. This was our hope when we formed a union– that we could help improve working conditions for everyone.

You will be assigned a peer coach who will work with you as progress through the study and guide you through the study components. Each of the sessions will last approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Finally, we will check in one last time 3-months after the study is over for a brief online survey.

Participants will receive up to $35 for their participation. $5 for each of the first three sessions, and $10 for both the fourth session and the 3 month follow-up. Alternatively, Augsburg University Psychology students will receive up to $25 and 4 research credits.

This event is an invitation to build community, foster collaboration, and create a more caring world through learning about religious/spiritual/worldview diversity, participating in enriching dialogue, and networking with exceptional interfaith leaders. By providing this opportunity to come together in fellowship and learn about each other’s worldviews and traditions, Augsburg aims to enable communities to dull sources of fear, open threads of conversation and build a relational ethic of care.
