As previously announced (see link, below), Augsburg is onboarding two new partners this spring to support our campus store. eCampus is our new partner for course materials. To prepare for the transition from Barnes & Noble to eCampus, please note the following important dates:
1) Initial faculty training: In preparation for switching to the new system, eCampus will conduct a training on its online adoption platform on May 15 at 1 p.m., as part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Days in May schedule. The session will be recorded, and additional sessions will be scheduled at later dates.
2) Deadline for Summer Time 2 and Fall adoptions: The best way to ensure eCampus will have sufficient time to source course materials for your Summer Time 2 and Fall courses is to ensure your course material adoptions are SUBMITTED IN THE EXISTING BARNES & NOBLE SYSEM BY MAY 21. Barnes & Noble will provide eCampus a data file of all adoptions submitted by that date, which eCampus will use to prepare for Summer Time 2 and Fall.
We are still working to confirm when the eCampus adoption portal will be available for use, but it is NOT recommended that you wait for that system to go live to submit Summer Time 2 or Fall adoptions, as that may result in insufficient lead time for eCampus to source the required materials.

PWC 320: Writing for Television
Summer 2025 | Saturdays, June 7 through August 30 | 10 a.m.–1 p.m.
Instructor: Jessica Huang (https://www.jessica-huang.com/)
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.

As we approach the fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, Faculty Development is pleased to announce an upcoming book club event co-sponsored with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Sociology. The featured book will be the recently published Minneapolis Reckoning: Race, Violence, and the Politics of Policing in America (2024), by sociologist Michelle Phelps.
In the book, Phelps profiles how Minneapolis embraced police reform after the Black Lives Matter protests against police violence in 2014; and yet in 2020, we were rocked by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers. As a result, Minneapolis became a national emblem for the failures of police reform. This book “shows how the dualized meaning of the police—as both the promise of state protection and the threat of state violence—creates the complex politics of policing that thwart change. Phelps’s account of the city’s struggles over what constitutes real accountability, justice, and safety offers a vivid picture of the possibilities and limits of challenging police power today.”
Copies of the book will be available during Days in May and participants will have all summer to read it in preparation for small group discussions that will be held during the CTL Back to School program in late August. You can reserve a copy of the book on a first-come, first-served basis by completing the Google Form that is available on the CTL website (look for the heading “Summer 2025 Faculty Book Club”): https://sites.augsburg.edu/ctl/.
As a special bonus, the Annual Torstenson Lecture in Sociology scheduled for the fall of 2025 will feature the author of the book, allowing an opportunity to hear more on the topic and engage in Q&A.
We hope you can join us!

College Possible Minnesota is a long-time Augsburg partner that helps students from low-income backgrounds find the right college, navigate the admissions process, secure financial aid, and stay on track to graduation. In the midst of uncertainty around federal funding, College Possible is asking supporters to contact Congress about the importance of continuing AmeriCorps programs.
Advocacy Request from College Possible:
Individuals can use the link below to access the form to email legislators.
To make a call, you can use the following trusted links to find your congress members’ contact information:
• U.S. House of Representatives: house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
• U.S. Senate: senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
• You may also call 202-224-3121 and input your zip code to be forwarded to your member’s office.
Sample phone or email script:
“Hi, my name is XXX, and I’m a supporter of College Possible Minnesota/a former AmeriCorps coach with College Possible Minnesota/I am a College Possible Minnesota student alumni.
I’m calling to urge [Senator/Representative] to stand up for AmeriCorps and ensure its funding and operations remain intact.
AmeriCorps members support programs like College Possible — helping thousands of students each year stay on track to college and changing the lives of both the students and the service members.
This is not a partisan issue — national service brings Americans together and offers a strong return on investment for local communities. I hope [Senator/Representative] will ask the White House to fully support National service and will continue to support the longstanding bipartisan investment in AmeriCorps.
Thank you for your time.”
Contact your senators and representatives to support AmeriCorps.

PARADISE PARK ZOO
The animals at the zoo are very busy—experimenting with meditation, processing their relationships, honing their wilderness survival skills, hosting community meetings, arguing about doors. No one is talking about the cages. The cages are not important…or are they?
Paradise Park Zoo is a dark-comedy that follows a group of zoo animals as they struggle to free themselves from their own cages. This fantastical dark-comedy critiques our lack-luster dating pool, our ineffective work meetings, and how our people-pleasing tendencies are caging the true and wild animal within.
Complete with a live band, group dance numbers, and several public break-ups, Paradise Park Zoo is a theatrical event not to be missed.

Following a competitive bid process conducted this academic year, Augsburg has selected two new partners to run its campus store. Beginning in late May, eCampus will be the university’s partner for adopting and ordering course materials; and University Gear Shop will run the on-campus store, offering branded merchandise, supplies, and a service center for students to pick up and return course materials purchased or rented from eCampus.
We have engaged staff and faculty from various areas of campus to support this transition. Initial work is underway in IT integration, student accounts processes, and review of the physical store space. We are working with both new partners, as well as Barnes & Noble, to establish a number of key dates, including:
>>faculty training on the eCampus course adoption site,
>>final deadline for Summer Time 2 and Fall course material adoptions on the Barnes & Noble AIP system,
>>switching over to the eCampus course material adoption site and course materials online store,
>>closure and move-out of the Barnes & Noble store and re-opening of the Augsburg University Campus Store, run by University Gear Shop.
For departments needing to order Augsburg-branded merchandise in the near term, please contact marketing@augsburg.edu. The Marketing team will collaborate with University Gear Shop to help you select items and get orders placed.
Finally, as noted in the Provost’s Weekly Update, faculty should complete all Summer and Fall course material adoptions in the current Barnes & Noble AIP system as soon as possible. Between now and the to-be-confirmed cutover date, Barnes & Noble will periodically provide eCampus with data files listing all course materials adopted for Summer Time 2 and Fall terms. The earlier your adoptions are captured in the system, the more time eCampus will have to source the needed materials for your courses.
Please watch for future A-mail posts for specific transition milestone dates, as they are confirmed.

As we near the end of another year please don’t forget to take care of your campus mailbox. This includes checking it for any mail, returning your lock and filing out the survey for what you would like us to do with your mail after this semester.
Two weeks after the spring semester ends (on May 23, 2025) we will close all student campus boxes unless they responded to the End of Year survey. If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please fill out this survey
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen8Hb9X2VU3VbQWqr9sPleUUk0pJROmx7iM6sr-lfY4vjgMw/viewform?usp=sharing).
Before the fall semester starts we will reassign campus boxes to all residential students. Without completing the survey, it will most likely be a different number.
We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail. Packages must be looked at case by case. Some USPS will allow forwarding. (Reply to the Augsburg package email and we will look at that package.) Other packages (UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc.), magazines, non-profit mail and standard mail will not be forwarded. We can also only forward to USA addresses. The forwarding period for the Augsburg Mailroom is two months from when the request is submitted. Afterward any additional mail we receive will be returned to sender.
We request that you contact the people/business sending you mail and update your address with them. Augsburg is classified as a business so you will not be able to do so through the US Post Office itself. Enrolling in online/electronic bills or statements can also be a smart option, it is environmentally friendly, secure and will often save you time (and sometimes money). Asking us to forward your mail does not change your mailing address with the USPS or Augsburg University, just with the Mailroom.

Augsburg celebrates the creativity and scholarship of undergraduate students with its annual Zyzzogeton Student Research Symposium. The symposium falls at the end of each academic year and is a culmination of achievement featuring work across departments.
This year Zyzzogeton will feature posters from more than 60 undergraduate researchers in the science, social science and humanity disciplines.
Zyzzogeton will take place on Tuesday, April 15, 3 – 4:30pm in Hagfors Center. There will be a convocation schedule for that day and no classes scheduled during the event time, so we hope that all students, faculty and staff are able to attend!
Those who need any disability-related accommodation to fully participate in this event are encouraged to contact University Events at events@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1104. Remember to have the name, date, and time of the event with you when contacting their office. Please allow for sufficient time to arrange the accommodation.
