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

Augsburg University has proudly partnered with Knack—a platform enabling Augsburg students to book course-specific peer tutoring and mentoring services. Knack Tutors are Augsburg students who have previously aced the courses they offer assistance in; tutoring is completely free and sessions can take place in-person or online.
To get started, visit the Knack website and log in with your Augsburg account. Indicate the course and topics you need assistance with, and a tutor that has aced your class will contact you to schedule a session.
Contact Academic Advising or drop by Lindell Library 227 with questions!

Please join us on Tuesday, September 24 at 11:30 for our next Uncovering Vocation chapel. Paul Vang, Pan-Asian Student Services Program Manager, will share his story. Paul is a first-generation college graduate and is a son to Hmong refugee parents. He graduated from St. Cloud State with a Bachelors of Science in Social Work. Paul is passionate about instilling leadership in young people and impacting systems that bring positive change, this pushed him to obtain his Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Crown College. His professional experience includes nonprofit, public and educational sectors where he served mainly youth and young adults in positions such as Community Social Worker, Program Director, Youth & Family Program Specialist, and District Homeless Liaison. What excites Paul about the Pan-Asian Student Services Program Manager position is the ability to mentor students who reflect his educational and professional journey.
