What is the Cloud ERP Project, you ask? Augsburg is moving to a new comprehensive cloud-based information system between 2025 and 2029. If you’re a student, faculty, or staff member, then this project will be changing how you interact with Augsburg online over the next few years—registering for classes, submitting grades, viewing payslips, and more.

Part of this process will be on campus visits from three vendors showing what their solutions offer. The majority of these sessions will be with key departments (Human Resources, Finance, Registrar, and Advising) and some sessions will be aimed at a more general audience.

Below are times for the first vendor demonstrations by Workday aimed at a general audience. All are welcome to attend these sessions, though your role will determine which one is most relevant to you.

The Sabo Center is hosting a reading group for the 2021 book, Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira.

This book helps us learn how to:
– Reimagine how we respond to crisis and relearn how to interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity, and failure
– Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for pain and grief
– Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm
– Create space for change that isn’t driven by desperate hope or a fear of desolate hopelessness

We’re tentatively planning to gather the week of February 17th, the first full week of March, the week of March 24th, April 7th and 28th.

Please know that space is limited, we cannot guarantee a place for everyone. Email Jenean Gilmer (gilmerje@augsburg.edu) with any questions. To express interest, please fill out this form:
