The Interfaith Institute, Religion and Philosophy Department, and Center for Teaching and Learning received a grant from the Interfaith America and John Templeton Foundations to implement a year-long faculty cohort focused on a campus wide effort on teaching religious diversity and pluralism. We invite full-time Augsburg University faculty to apply for the fellowship program. Limited fellowships are available and fellows will receive a stipend of $500.00. Faculty from any department are encouraged to apply.
The goals of the yearlong fellowship are to develop new material for courses, new approaches to teaching, and to learn from other faculty members in the cohort. We will be leading workshops on religious pluralism, teaching religious diversity, and understanding how to engage worldview diversity in the classroom and beyond. If you’re not familiar with teaching religious and worldview diversity, this cohort is a wonderful opportunity to learn more and build your skills and familiarity with these topics. We will work with you to integrate content and skills in your context and academic discipline.
Sessions will include presentations on topics and the opportunity to workshop ideas with other cohort members. Some brief pre-reading will be required.
The cohort will meet via Zoom:
Thursday Oct. 10th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Nov. 7th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Feb. 6th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Feb. 20th 3:30-5:30
Thursday March 27th 3:30-5:30
To apply, complete the Advancing Religious Pluralism Faculty Fellows Application

Between 20-25 new international students will soon join us for Fall Semester 2024!
As we collaboratively welcome this group, we plan for different experiences, including a dinner potentially hosted by you—our faculty and staff members—in your home.
These events create a space for our new students to connect directly with members of our community, AND the dinner provides an opportunity for you to learn about the incoming international students and their goals at Augsburg. It’s really a win-win situation!
Here are the details:
Date: Tuesday, August 20, 2024
Time: Pick up at 5 p.m. with a return to campus around 7 p.m. — Pick up at Einstein’s!

Save the date! Imagine Cedarfest, September 8 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Imagine Cedarfest is a big, family-friendly block party for neighborhood connection and community organization. This event is a fantastic way to experience artists, musicians, and local businesses from the neighborhood and imagine a better future together.
When the Minnesota Highway Commission (now the Minnesota Department of Transportation or MnDOT) routed and constructed I-94 through the urban core of the Twin Cities in the ’60s, it destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses and displaced thousands. Now, as MnDOT evaluates options for the highway’s future, we have the opportunity to influence one of the biggest policy decisions in decades.
BONUS! Got a Weinie Dog?! Start training now and register for the Weinie Dog Race!!!
This is the second annual Wienery Wiener and Wiener-Wannabe Dog Race. This will take place on Sunday September 8th in front of the Wienery during the Imagine Cedarfest event.
We will see how many registrants we get. If we have enough “pure” dachsunds, we will run a separate race just for wiener dogs. Otherwise, we will group dogs by size to try to keep things fair. We may also choose to run multiple heats.
Register for the race here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvJUYs5TQ8SSH0wWs62wwxmS5FeJYjI4ASS6GHyQKTA_d1UA/viewform
