To celebrate our graduates, we will be creating a window of inspiration, filled with post-it notes with life advice, uplifting messages, and general words of wisdom. The idea is that our graduates can come through the library and take a post-it or two that brings encouragement, motivation for the future, or a message that just makes them smile. One message per post-it note!

We would love to have messages from across our campus community for our students to take with them. We have blank post-its at the Service Desk in the library, or if you contact Tanya the librarian with the email in this post, we will send some post-it notes to you or your department.

Please drop your notes to Library Service Desk by May 2nd, or feel free to put them on the window with the other notes, if you’d prefer!

By popular demand, the window of inspiration was put up early, which you can see in person or through our Instagram below!

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.

Join us in Hoversten Chapel during Earth Week for an opportunity to process, take seriously, and think hopefully about Climate Change. While the science of what we have to do to stave off and survive climate change is largely settled, it’s cultivating the will to do so that’s the problem. That makes Climate Change a spiritual problem as much as it is a scientific one.

On Monday 4/21 at 10:40, Tara and Tiffany will lead a Mindful Monday chapel that encourages a reconnection with the earth and nature.

On Tuesday 4/22 at 11:30, Prof. Leon van Eck will give a vocation chapel talk centered around his sense and experience of calling to care for the world (and not giving up in the face of climate change).

On Wednesday 4/23 at 10:40 Profs. Nancy Fischer and Lindsay Starck will lead a futurist exercise – having participants imagine years into the future what problems they might face as a result of climate change and how they may be of help.

On Thursday 4/24 at 11:00 Prof. Joe Underhill will talk about Augsburg’s River Semester as an example in alternative lifestyle living, as well as “wandering in the wilderness” during times of political and ecological crisis.

And on Friday 4/25 at 10:40 Prof. Cody Sanders from Luther Seminary will give a lecture/sermon on hope that refuses to be domesticated by our current systems and ways of life.
