Do you have a great idea for a TV show, but you’re not sure how to get it on the page? Do you have a script in the drawer that’s begging to be finished, but something just isn’t quite right?

Throughout the year, Augsburg University and Playwrights’ Center, a Twin-Cities-based national organization supporting playwrights and new play development, partner to offer online, accredited playwriting and television-writing courses, taught by today’s leading writers in the field to students all over the country.

This three-hour weekly class is designed as an online workshop for students who are interested in learning the art and craft of writing for television. Students will study the fundamentals of professional writing for broadcast, cable, and digital platforms. They will explore the principles of television series creation by developing a compelling premise and executing a viable, character-driven pilot script.

Registration for this course is processed through the Schwartz School of the Arts. Please reach out to creativearts@augsburg.edu with your interest.

Win $20 by Filling Out Campus Kitchen Survey

submitted by pageimo@augsburg.edu

As the semester wraps up we have an important ask: please fill out Campus Kitchen’s 2025 Impact Survey! The results from this survey help us to prioritize the ingredients and supplies you want to see in the Campus Cupboard and set shopping hours that work for the most people, as well as letting us know about cooking workshops you’d like to see, SNAP/WIC application support needs and nutrition and food needs on campus in general. This information also helps us to apply for funding to keep the cupboard stocked!

2 randomly selected students who fill out the survey will receive $20 cash each! Please complete the survey by May 16, and share it with 3 friends who have also shopped at the Campus Cupboard or come to our events!

The survey only takes a few minutes, and filling it out helps us meet your needs better each year. Fill it out today!

The Augsburg University IT Team is excited to announce a campus-wide transition from our existing landline telephone system to Zoom Phone over the next few months. Zoom Phone is a cloud-based phone service that can be used to make, receive, and manage calls from multiple devices, using your existing campus phone number. This change will provide you some additional features like text messaging and the ability to answer your phone from off-campus, along with saving Augsburg money.
