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.

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 Nov. 7th 3:30-5:30

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.

Reminder: How to Schedule Events
submitted by obeys@augsburg.edu
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.

Christensen Symposium: Spirituality and Self-Care
submitted by maruggi@augsburg.edu
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.
Changes to Library Website (ILL)
submitted by vanclev1@augsburg.edu
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)
Please contact Stewart Van Cleve (vanclev1@augsburg) with any questions.
