Two Auggies Earn Volunteer of the Year Awards

submitted by froehlic@augsburg.edu

The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, announced its Volunteer of the Year awards last night.

We want to send our congratulations to Ingri Ramirez, who earned the overall Judge of the Year Award, and Liya Tesfaye, who earned the East African Debate Judge of the Year Award!

Our Volunteer Coordinator, Johan Fullard, said at the ceremony:

“East African Debate is one of our most fun programs because the kids are so competitive and ready to compete. We need judges who can explain their decisions well and help them improve through l feedback. Liya writes great ballots and she’s helped us across multiple programs, not just East African Debate. She’s always there with a smile to support the kids!”

Ingri was chosen as the Judge of the Year because she completed a significant number of hours across the entire debate seaon, working with both middle schoolers and high schoolers and English and Spanish debates. She also recruited a significant number of judges through her network of friends and colleagues. That’s one of the most helpful things you can do for our work as a volunteer.

Thanks so much to these Auggies for showing up for our students!

They didn’t just help kids improve their public speaking skills. Competing in debate helps students become engaged learners, critical thinkers, and active global citizens who are effective advocates for themselves and their communities.

Full-Time Faculty: Apply for an Advancing Religious Pluralism Fellowship

submitted by truesmit@augsburg.edu

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

Save the Date – Imagine Cedarfest, September 8, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Save the date! Imagine Cedarfest, September 8 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

Imagine Cedarfest is a big, family-friendly block party for neighborhood connection and community organization. This event is a fantastic way to experience artists, musicians, and local businesses from the neighborhood and imagine a better future together.

When the Minnesota Highway Commission (now the Minnesota Department of Transportation or MnDOT) routed and constructed I-94 through the urban core of the Twin Cities in the ’60s, it destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses and displaced thousands. Now, as MnDOT evaluates options for the highway’s future, we have the opportunity to influence one of the biggest policy decisions in decades.

BONUS! Got a Weinie Dog?! Start training now and register for the Weinie Dog Race!!!
This is the second annual Wienery Wiener and Wiener-Wannabe Dog Race. This will take place on Sunday September 8th in front of the Wienery during the Imagine Cedarfest event.

We will see how many registrants we get. If we have enough “pure” dachsunds, we will run a separate race just for wiener dogs. Otherwise, we will group dogs by size to try to keep things fair. We may also choose to run multiple heats.

Register for the race here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvJUYs5TQ8SSH0wWs62wwxmS5FeJYjI4ASS6GHyQKTA_d1UA/viewform

NetVUE Reading Group on Critical Community Engagement and Vocation, Fall 2024

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

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.

ISO Ferret-Sitter

submitted by heisekat@augsburg.edu

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!

The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, is seeking a Community Engagement Fellow to serve through the Minnesota Alliance With Youth AmeriCorps Groundwork Fellows program from September 1-May 31.
