Breaking Through and Building Up: Using Your Story to Inspire Action
Wednesday October 21, 2026
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University
We are living at a time when the need for community and truth is more urgent than ever. The barriers we face are political, technological, and cultural. They feel larger than any one person or organization can handle. Yet, in spite of all these barriers, people are organizing around pressing issues and breaking through bubbles of mis- (or dis-) information with authenticity, personal connection, and storytelling. Their motivation for action comes from a variety of sources, but a shared calling is moving people to identify problems and pragmatically work toward solutions, inspiring others to action in the process. Ross will help you understand the influence you already wield and how to inspire and equip people to act for social justice through your media platforms and real-life communities.
Ross Murray (BA ’00, MBA ’09) is the Vice President at the GLAAD Media Institute, where he uses GLAAD’s best practices to provide activist, spokesperson, and media engagement training/education for LGBTQ and allied community members, the media industry, and advocacy organizations to accelerate acceptance.

Our Mission in Practice: Complete the Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program
Federal policies may change, but Augsburg’s mission has not. We remain an engaged community committed to “intentional diversity in its life and work” and to educating students to become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Living out that mission requires more than good intentions. It asks each of us to continue learning, reflect on how our experiences shape our interactions, and develop the skills to create a community in which students and colleagues of all identities can thrive.
The Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program offers faculty and staff a meaningful way to strengthen those skills. Through seven workshops, participants develop greater capacity to:
Communicate and navigate conflict across cultural differences
Recognize and interrupt unconscious bias
Create more welcoming and inclusive spaces
Better support LGBTQIA+ communities
Understand disability as an important dimension of diversity
Recognize and respond to microinequities
Engage thoughtfully and effectively across differences
Whether you are beginning the program or have only a few workshops remaining, you are encouraged to take the next step toward completing your certificate.
To view upcoming workshops and register for a session, click:
https://sites.augsburg.edu/diversity/events-calendar/
To learn more about the Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program, workshop descriptions, and completion requirements, click:
https://sites.augsburg.edu/diversity/certificate-program/
Participation may no longer be required per federal policy, but the work remains central to who we are. Every employee contributes to the culture our students and colleagues experience. Completing the certificate is one tangible way to deepen that contribution and help bring Augsburg’s mission to life.

The Bernhard M. Christensen Symposium
submitted by myers@augsburg.edu
Ross Murray (BA ’00, MBA ’09) will be our speaker at this year’s Christensen Symposium.
Breaking Through and Building Up: Using Your Story to Inspire Action
Wednesday October 21, 2026
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University
We are living at a time when the need for community and truth is more urgent than ever. The barriers we face are political, technological, and cultural. They feel larger than any one person or organization can handle. Yet, in spite of all these barriers, people are organizing around pressing issues and breaking through bubbles of mis- (or dis-) information with authenticity, personal connection, and storytelling. Their motivation for action comes from a variety of sources, but a shared calling is moving people to identify problems and pragmatically work toward solutions, inspiring others to action in the process. Ross will help you understand the influence you already wield and how to inspire and equip people to act for social justice through your media platforms and real-life communities.
Ross Murray (BA ’00, MBA ’09) is the Vice President at the GLAAD Media Institute, where he uses GLAAD’s best practices to provide activist, spokesperson, and media engagement training/education for LGBTQ and allied community members, the media industry, and advocacy organizations to accelerate acceptance.
Our Mission in Practice: Complete the Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program
Federal policies may change, but Augsburg’s mission has not. We remain an engaged community committed to “intentional diversity in its life and work” and to educating students to become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Living out that mission requires more than good intentions. It asks each of us to continue learning, reflect on how our experiences shape our interactions, and develop the skills to create a community in which students and colleagues of all identities can thrive.
The Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program offers faculty and staff a meaningful way to strengthen those skills. Through seven workshops, participants develop greater capacity to:
Communicate and navigate conflict across cultural differences
Recognize and interrupt unconscious bias
Create more welcoming and inclusive spaces
Better support LGBTQIA+ communities
Understand disability as an important dimension of diversity
Recognize and respond to microinequities
Engage thoughtfully and effectively across differences
Whether you are beginning the program or have only a few workshops remaining, you are encouraged to take the next step toward completing your certificate.
To view upcoming workshops and register for a session, click:
https://sites.augsburg.edu/diversity/events-calendar/
To learn more about the Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program, workshop descriptions, and completion requirements, click:
https://sites.augsburg.edu/diversity/certificate-program/
Participation may no longer be required per federal policy, but the work remains central to who we are. Every employee contributes to the culture our students and colleagues experience. Completing the certificate is one tangible way to deepen that contribution and help bring Augsburg’s mission to life.

Welcome 2026-27 Campus Ministry Pastoral Intern
submitted by coleda@augsburg.edu
Campus Ministry is excited to announce this year’s pastoral intern, Sarah Root. Sarah (she/her) grew up in West Milwaukee, WI and attended the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, majoring in psychology. She is studying for her Masters in Divinity at Luther Seminary to fulfill the call that she has held throughout her formative years. Sarah grew up going to church and was always very involved. She attended two youth gatherings, once as a student and a second as a servant companion. As a high school student, Sarah served on her synod’s council for two years.
Sarah lives in St. Paul with her husband, Kyle, their nearly 1-year-old son, two cats, a bearded dragon, fish, and a very fat frog. Sarah has spent her four years of academics at Luther Seminary working on homework, making memories, and baking a lot of pizza at Toppers. Her Campus Ministry internship is the final step in this part of her academic journey.
Stop in to Campus Ministry Office 110, in the Foss Center, to welcome Sarah. As someone who is very focused on self-care, Sarah provides a listening ear, mindful activities, calming objects, games, and snacks. Her door and her ears are always open.

My summary of 2025 scams blog post lists common red flags and what to do if you get scammed. https://sites.augsburg.edu/it/2026/01/08/happy-2026-a-look-back-at-phishing-and-scams-in-2025/
Trust your gut. If something seems too good to be true it probably is. There will be more scams as sure as there are pronto pups at the State Fair.

Our Mission in Practice: Complete the Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program
Federal policies may change, but Augsburg’s mission has not. We remain an engaged community committed to “intentional diversity in its life and work” and to educating students to become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Living out that mission requires more than good intentions. It asks each of us to continue learning, reflect on how our experiences shape our interactions, and develop the skills to create a community in which students and colleagues of all identities can thrive.
The Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program offers faculty and staff a meaningful way to strengthen those skills. Through seven workshops, participants develop greater capacity to:
Communicate and navigate conflict across cultural differences
Recognize and interrupt unconscious bias
Create more welcoming and inclusive spaces
Better support LGBTQIA+ communities
Understand disability as an important dimension of diversity
Recognize and respond to microinequities
Engage thoughtfully and effectively across differences
Whether you are beginning the program or have only a few workshops remaining, you are encouraged to take the next step toward completing your certificate.

Participation may no longer be required per federal policy, but the work remains central to who we are. Every employee contributes to the culture our students and colleagues experience. Completing the certificate is one tangible way to deepen that contribution and help bring Augsburg’s mission to life.

Last Week’s Employment Scam Email
submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu
Last week another job scam email was sent to some Augsburg folks – “ Student Employment Opportunity – Virtual Data Entry Assistant.” Thank you to the people who notified us about the scam — good scam-sense! You can mark the message as phishing or spam if you received it.
Here’s some red flags I saw in the scam email
– It is from a random .org email address.
– It directs you to an odd form and not our employment site.
– It references “StudentofCalhounCountyISD” at the bottom of the email.
For more scam tips, see this IT Blog post on scams and phishing. https://sites.augsburg.edu/it/2026/01/08/happy-2026-a-look-back-at-phishing-and-scams-in-2025/
