EARN $55 PER TOURNAMENT AS A DEBATE JUDGE!

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. Augsburg alum Awale Osman developed the Somali Debate Institute (now East African Debate League) to provide a culturally specific space for East African students to gain debate skills like public speaking, argumentation, and more. Our East African Debate League provides a space for East African students to celebrate their culture and community while learning debate skills.

This year’s debate topic, held in English, will center on the benefits and drawbacks of culturally-specific versus integrated education systems. 

We’re looking for caring adults who have deep ties to the East African community (with or without debate experience!) to join us. As a judge, you’ll listen to students speak, provide constructive feedback, and choose a winner of each debate at weeknight tournaments. 

You must be 18+ and pass a background check to volunteer and/or be paid $55/tournament as a debate judge.

Opportunities include: 

Tues., December 17th: 3:15-7:15 PM 
Tues., January 14th: 3:15-7:15 PM 
Tues., February 4th: 3:15-7:15 PM 

Sign up to be a debate judge here by clicking the shift of your choice: https://mnudl.augsburg.edu/volunteer-opportunities/

This is an excellent opportunity for East African-focused community or student groups to fundraise! Please reach out to Melekh Akintola at akintola@augsburg.edu for more information about fundraising as a group. 

(Concerned about transportation? No problem! Thanks to our AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund, we can book you an Uber for free! Please sign up and email our Volunteer Coordinator, Johan at udlvolunteers@augsburg.edu for more information.)

Hello Augsburg students, faculty, and staff,

Over the next 4–5 years, Augsburg will be changing its primary information system (called Unit4 or formerly Agresso). This change will involve moving from our current campus-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with numerous third-party systems to a unified, cloud-based ERP system.

This is a complex, multi-year, campus-wide project that involves how we manage student records, registration, human resources, finances, and more. Simply put, how you interact with Augsburg as a student or employee will be changing and improving once we have made the change. How you register for classes, record time worked and time off, submit grades for your courses, and so on—all will be modernized and, ideally, improved.

Such a change can be both exciting and daunting for people so we intend to support you in this transition with plenty of information, communication, and campus engagement as the project moves forward. The first steps will be to document business processes and engage key functional areas in preparation for campus visits by potential vendors this spring.

On the project web page https://sites.augsburg.edu/it/about-it/cloud-erp-project/ you’ll find information on project timeline, decision process, and project goals. That project page will grow and expand over time. If you have any questions about the project please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

– Scott Krajewski ’94, ’21 MBA
AVP for IT
