Contact Your Legislators About the MN State Grant Program

submitted by farrisr@augsburg.edu

Did you know that the Minnesota State Grant program supports 62% of Augsburg undergraduate students, with an average grant amount of $6,000?

A $131 million shortfall in funding for the program means that without action, many low- and middle-income students will lose their grants or see them dramatically cut starting next fall.

Lawmakers can prevent these cuts by providing additional funding for the State Grant program during the legislative session that is underway in St. Paul. Augsburg is encouraging policymakers to do just that, speaking up on this with other private nonprofit colleges. It is also critical for individual constituents—including Augsburg students, faculty, and staff—to ask for action on this issue.

If you live in Minnesota, please consider sending a note of your own to the state legislators who represent you, asking them to fully fund the State Grant program. A sample note you can edit and a simple tool for sending it is available from the Minnesota Private College Council.

Learn more and contact your legislators by March 31.

Community Defense Training

submitted by rankiniz@augsburg.edu

As a united University community, we continue to seek ways to offer resources that support faculty and staff, both on and off campus. The need to pay attention to what is happening around us remains.

For those who are interested in community defense training, the following options are available:
• States at the Core, who offer multiple online training sessions each month to a nationwide audience.
• Monarca, a local Minnesota organization that offers several in-person training sessions throughout the greater Twin Cities and western WI.

For those who are interested in attending training in community, Human Resources, the Provost’s Office, and the Post 1/20 Task Force have reserved space on campus, and will be streaming a 90-minute live webinar presented by States at the Core on the following dates:

Wednesday, April 1 (OGC/Oren 201)

The webinars are identical; is not necessary to attend all of them.
• The webinar will begin at 6:00 p.m.
• Augsburg will register as an institution, no individual registration is required.
• As this is a nationwide webinar, the audience is not visible.
• Those who are interested in attending the training off-campus should individually register.

As additional training and resources become available for faculty and staff, we will continue to provide those opportunities to all.
