Reminder: Augsburg Christensen Center is a polling place on August 13 from 7 AM – 8 PM.
Please remember to not wear campaign-related items (shirts, buttons, etc) on election day in Christensen, and don’t post any signs in public areas of the building that are of a political nature. In addition to the building itself, there is a mandated 100-foot buffer around the building in which there should be no campaigning / political signage, as well. Please help us maintain this neutral space for voting!

The Interfaith Institute, Religion and Philosophy Department, and Center for Teaching and Learning received a grant from the Interfaith America and John Templeton Foundations to implement a year-long faculty cohort focused on a campus wide effort on teaching religious diversity and pluralism. We invite full-time Augsburg University faculty to apply for the fellowship program. Limited fellowships are available and fellows will receive a stipend of $500.00. Faculty from any department are encouraged to apply.
The goals of the yearlong fellowship are to develop new material for courses, new approaches to teaching, and to learn from other faculty members in the cohort. We will be leading workshops on religious pluralism, teaching religious diversity, and understanding how to engage worldview diversity in the classroom and beyond. If you’re not familiar with teaching religious and worldview diversity, this cohort is a wonderful opportunity to learn more and build your skills and familiarity with these topics. We will work with you to integrate content and skills in your context and academic discipline.
Sessions will include presentations on topics and the opportunity to workshop ideas with other cohort members. Some brief pre-reading will be required.
The cohort will meet via Zoom:
Thursday Oct. 10th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Nov. 7th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Feb. 6th 3:30-5:30
Thursday Feb. 20th 3:30-5:30

In Fall 2024, Heather Brady of Grand View University (Iowa), will host four virtual conversations on the theme of community engagement and vocation. The purpose is to gather faculty and staff with some expertise and previous experience in this field in order to grow a community of practice. The outcome of these conversations will be to define the parameters and scope of the field, identify key concepts in the field, and gather resources to share out in a second conversation series, to take place in Spring 2025. At that time, a different group will participate in monthly conversations around the curriculum created by the first group in Fall 2024. The goal of the second series will be to inspire others who are less familiar with the topic to reflect on vocational exploration though community engagement. Both series will focus on themes of place and belonging, encounters with otherness, privilege and power, active listening, and visions of justice and equity. It is my hope that the dialogue created by these conversations will create new strategies for enlivening student learning.
There will be one virtual meeting each month, on Friday from 1:00 to 2:30 CST.
Participants will receive a copy of the book Called Beyond our Selves: Vocation and the Common Good, edited by Erin VanLaningham.
Please email Heather Brady at hbrady@grandview.edu to express your interest.

Parking permit sales will begin for all eligible Students, Staff and Faculty on Monday, August 5. Unlike previous years, all eligible users will be able to purchase a permit starting on Monday, August 5; with the exception of the underground garages. If you are interested in purchasing an underground parking space, you will need to email parking@augsburg.edu on the following dates depending on your status:
Monday August 5 – Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Tuesday August 6 – Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Wednesday August 7 – Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Thursday August 8 – First Year commuter students, and all Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students
Friday August 9 – Open to all eligible users (including Staff and Faculty)
Underground garage spaces will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, and spaces will not be held if you email parking ahead of the scheduled sales date for your group (example, if a Staff member emails parking@augsburg.edu on August 8 about wanting an underground space, that Staff member will be placed on a wait list and will only be considered for a space after all other users who emailed on the correct date are placed).
When purchasing a parking permit, please consider the following to avoid any tickets being issued throughout the semester/year:
Enter all known license plates that may be brought to campus under your 2024/25 parking permit
Double check that each license plate is entered correctly – if you notice a mistake after entering the license plates and are unable to change it yourself, email parking@augsburg.edu as soon as possible to get the correct license plate number entered
If you have any questions or concerns about whether your permit is active or was purchased correctly, please contact parking@augsburg.edu as soon as possible to verify you have an active permit.

My name is Rin Heise and I’m new to Augsburg via the TRIO SSS office! I’m interested in finding a few folks on campus who may be interested in pet-sitting my two ferrets, Pip and Pop, sometime in the future. They are four-year-old females who are very sweet and curious. Past pet-sitters can attest that they are fun and relatively easy to care for. We are located in St. Paul, but I may be willing to let them stay elsewhere if the environment is the right fit. The ideal pet-sitting candidates will have prior experience with ferrets, but experience with pet-sitting and animal care is ok too.
Check out @sable_sisters_startup on Instagram for photos!
Email me at heisekat@augsburg.edu if you’re interested and I can provide further details. Thank you for your consideration!

Friends,
Today is my last day at Augsburg University serving as your Web person.
I really appreciate the time I have spent here. As an undergraduate and graduate student of Augsburg it was an honor to come back and work with a school that showed me a unique and beautiful higher education experience.
While I am taking a new role, one that I am not giving up is being part of this community of amazing people.
Working for Augsburg truly has been a dream come true. When I took this role, I was very vocal about my admiration & yearning for working at Augsburg.
I appreciate everyone that I have served and if I had the opportunity to work with you directly, I absolutely loved it.
I have made a lot of friends working with you all and will hold this space graciously in my heart, mind and soul.
Please if there is anything I can do to help, do not hesitate to reach out. As my grandma always said, “don’t be bashful”.
With love & peace,
Jasvir

July 16 marks the second anniversary of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline! Help us celebrate by taking action for 988!
Please contact your members of Congress in support of three key policy bills that will help ensure that anyone struggling with a mental health, substance use, or suicide crisis is connected to local support and services in a timely manner. Our key bills are:
Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act (S.1236/H.R.2802) to require colleges and universities to include contact information for the 988 Lifeline, Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health center on student identification cards and on their websites. Making it easy for students to find and share the 988 Lifeline number will improve access to lifesaving crisis resources and destigmatize reaching out for help
Local 988 Response Act (S.3444/H.R.4974) to connect people contacting 988 to services in their own state as quickly and safely as possible, while protecting privacy. Connecting people to a crisis center near their physical location—a process known as georouting—improves access to local, life-saving services.
CONNECT Act (H.R.6928) to establish grant funding to support follow-up services for individuals who receive suicide prevention and crisis intervention services. Providing follow-up services, such as phone calls, mental health appointments, or information about mental health resources significantly reduces the likelihood of suicide.
Together, we can ensure a robust and reimagines 988 system
