This summer Augsburg will again host the annual Vocation of Lutheran Higher Education Conference. Each year, members of Lutheran colleges and universities gather to explore the distinctive roles we play in higher education. The theme of the 2025 conference “Ethical Leadership in a Changing World.” The conference aligns with NECU’s mission of preparing students for lives of leadership and service through a theologically rooted understanding of vocation. Ethical leadership—grounded in Lutheran traditions of grace, justice, and community—ensures development of the character and discernment to lead in ways that promote the common good. Join us as we explore how Lutheran higher education can equip the next generation of leaders to navigate ethical challenges with integrity and faith.
Highlights include a keynote address by Dr. Walter Fluker, a renowned scholar and leader in ethics and leadership studies, who will challenge participants to consider how vocation and values-based leadership intersect in today’s complex world. His insights will provide a foundation for discussions on how NECU institutions can cultivate ethical leaders who serve with wisdom, courage, and a deep sense of purpose
The conference begins at 5:00 pm on Monday, July 14 and ends at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, July 16.
The registration fee is waived for Augsburg participants and meals (lunch and dinner) are provided to Augsburg participants free of charge. The deadline for registration is Monday, June 23. If you have questions about registration, please contact Janice Dames (x1732 or dames@augsburg.edu).

At the Du Nord Cocktail Room, we believe in honoring the people who shape our communities—including the incredible teachers who show up every day with heart, hustle, and care.

At the Du Nord Cocktail Room, we appreciate teachers all year round—all teachers get 20% off their own bill, all the time, not just this week. It’s our small way of saying thank you for the big impact they make every day.

Colleagues, the library needs your help! 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!
If you’re looking for a moment of joy, this is it.

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.
