Constitution Day is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is celebrated on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787 in Philadelphia.
One of the key responsibilities of citizenship is voting. This year, Election Day is Tuesday, November 5 and Augsburg has made Election Day a holiday during which classes are canceled so that all eligible voters have time to vote. The office of the Minnesota Secretary of State has sample ballots and information about voting. Please visit the Sabo Center website for helpful voter information resources.

University Events has been working hard to launch a new request form for all events and meeting reservations. So that all requests can be saved in the same place, it is essential that faculty and staff use this form to submit all requests regardless of whether your event is basic or more complicated. Please note that if your event requires any special set up, catering, AV requests, etc. we require at least 15 business days (but more time is strongly recommended to ensure your event is a success). The new form, as well as all resources for planning your event, can be found at https://sites.augsburg.edu/events/
Student groups and organizations should submit event requests through Auggie Life.
If you have trouble submitting the form, please screenshot the issue and email it to events@augsburg.edu so that we can look into fixing the issue.

My Body Is My Vocation: Embracing Self-Care as a Sacred Calling
Chanequa Walker-Barnes
Thursday, September 19th, 11:00-12:00
Foss Center, Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University
In religious contexts, vocation is usually defined as the work that the Divine calls us to do on behalf of others. But what if our vocation starts much closer to home, with the ways that we care for and nurture ourselves? This lecture explores how self-care transcends mere indulgence to become a spiritual discipline and vocation that helps us to cultivate resilience, compassion, a deeper connection with our faith, and ultimately, greater love for the world.
Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Ph.D., is a prominent scholar, theologian, and author, known for her thought-provoking work on racial justice and spirituality. With a deep commitment to social change, she combines her expertise in clinical psychology and theology to tackle issues of systemic oppression, cultural trauma, and their impact on individuals and society.

The library is putting the finishing touches on “James” and “Jean,” our self-service model! We have updated our search (the catalog) to make it easier for students to understand interlibrary loan (ILL) services:
– For electronic articles available at other institutions, the ILL button will now read “Email it to me for free.” Here’s an example: https://augsburg.on.worldcat.org/oclc/425479288
– For books, and other physical items, the ILL button will now read “Request Free Delivery to Jean (1st Floor Pick-Up Lockers).” Here’s an example: https://augsburg.on.worldcat.org/oclc/20040515
As part of this change, we will decommission the outdoor bookdrop on Monday morning. Please return materials inside the building – and check the hours beforehand! (library.augsburg.edu/hours)

Students from all majors are welcome to apply, though preference is given to applicants that are interested in pursuing a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all participant slots are filled.
The TRIO McNair Scholars Program works with students who are members of groups underrepresented in graduate education and who exhibit strong academic potential.

Students will acquire the research skills necessary to succeed in graduate school through a paid research internship ($6000) with an Augsburg faculty member during Summer of 2025.
The McNair Scholars Program is federally-funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, to be eligible, applicants must be first-generation (neither parent graduated from a four-year college or university) AND low-income AND/OR may be persons from groups underrepresented in graduate education. The Department of Education defines these groups as African-American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hispanic/Latino.

My Body Is My Vocation: Embracing Self-Care as a Sacred Calling
Chanequa Walker-Barnes
Thursday, September 19th, 11:00-12:00
Foss Center, Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University
In religious contexts, vocation is usually defined as the work that the Divine calls us to do on behalf of others. But what if our vocation starts much closer to home, with the ways that we care for and nurture ourselves? This lecture explores how self-care transcends mere indulgence to become a spiritual discipline and vocation that helps us to cultivate resilience, compassion, a deeper connection with our faith, and ultimately, greater love for the world.
Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Ph.D., is a prominent scholar, theologian, and author, known for her thought-provoking work on racial justice and spirituality. With a deep commitment to social change, she combines her expertise in clinical psychology and theology to tackle issues of systemic oppression, cultural trauma, and their impact on individuals and society.

Interested in having class outside? In Spring 2024, students in ENV/URB 492 designed and constructed a cart for use in outdoor teaching.

The cart includes seating for 24, a whiteboard (can be used for projection as well), blackboard (with chalk), data projector (with battery & solar panel), clipboards, a folding podium, and Wi-fi hotspot. There are also guy ropes and stakes for stabilizing the cart if the wind picks up. For the truly adventurous there are optional tarps for rain or sun protection. The cart is available for classes or other groups to use. To reserve the cart, you can email Joe Underhill (underhil@augsburg.edu) to schedule a time for checking it out.

Starting in October 2024, MnDOT will begin bridge preservation and maintenance work on five bridges along I-94 in Minneapolis. Construction is expected to last through November 2025.
The project area includes:
– I-94 bridge (Dartmouth Bridge) that spans the Mississippi River
– Riverside Ave bridge over I-94
– I-94 over Cedar Ave
– I-94 over the Light Rail Transit (Blue Line)
– I-94 over Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave
Project fact sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z_2zwssvyVUmx1TyFxc8DwvEsbnoERRt/view?usp=drive_link
In fall 2024, motorists can expect overnight and some daytime lane closures on I-94 between downtown Minneapolis and the Franklin Ave bridge over I-94 to construct crossovers that will allow crews to shift traffic the following year.
During construction in 2025, motorists can expect I-94 to be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave and the Franklin Ave bridge over I-94. Crews will also need to temporarily close ramps along I-94 at Huron Blvd, Riverside Ave, Cedar Ave, and 6th St and 7th St near downtown Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board will be wrapping up its Murphy Square renovation work next week. Park Board staff will review the park next week to determine where fencing will need to remain up and where they determine to take it down.
For this fall, here are the guidelines for use of the park:
1) ONLY use the paths and the areas where the grass is fully growing/areas that were not disturbed by project work.
2) Stay away from all seeded areas.
3) Leave all fencing in place.
The seeded areas are expected to grow new grass beginning in the spring. The Park Board anticipates formally issuing use permits for the park at that time.
