Cost: Free
Location: The Cedar’s Community Plaza, located to the right of The Cedar’s doors.

Rahmo Rose Band, a group featuring The Cedar’s Somali Artist-in-Residence Rahmo Rose, performs in collaboration with Augsburg College’s Small Jazz Ensemble. The group was created as part of The Cedar’s most recent Midnimo residency, where they opened for London-based Somali qaarami singer Nimco Yasisn in Minneapolis, Mankato, and St. Cloud. They’ll perform for a fourth time on The Cedar’s Community Plaza.

Kate Ostrem from 9 Open Doors will be presenting on insight into Enneagram:
We often hear the message “use your strengths.” But is it possible to take our strengths too far? Kate Ostrem, of 9 Open Doors, will explain the connection between strengths and weaknesses and walk us through a thought-provoking exercise that will have us looking at our strengths in a new light. She will also briefly introduce us to the nine different styles of the Enneagram, a personality system that illuminates what happens when we overuse our strengths. Join us for this eye-opening workshop with your friends from the Augsburg MBA program!

Presenter:
Kate Ostrem is certified as an Enneagram educator by Anne Murée with Olive Branchways, and has studied with some of the most prominent thought leaders in the Enneagram community. She attended St. Olaf College and has worked in fundraising, communications and marketing in the non-profit world for sixteen years. Her 9 Open Doors work has varied from a small group of friends in a backyard to retreats to a conference in New Zealand. Described as a sincere, gifted teacher who presents in an accessible and fun way, Kate looks forward to the day when everyone knows about the Enneagram so that we all have meaningful insight into our habits and behaviors.

Time and Location:

Oren Gateway Center Room 100

“It Will Renew Your Faith In Theater,” writes Twin Cities blogger Matthew A. Everett after seeing Full Circle’s production of Suzan-Lori Parks’ 365 DAYS/PLAYS: A 2017 Remix at Penumbra Theater last weekend. (http://swfringegeek.blogspot.com/2017/05/review-365-days365-plays-2017-remix.html)

Three Augsburg theater alums (Stephanie Lein Walseth ’00, Quinci Bachman ’15, and Malick Ceesay ’17) and Augsburg Theater Professor Emerita Martha Johnson are all part of the Full Circle production running this and next weekend, Thursday – Sunday, through June 11. City Pages reviewer Jay Gabler writes, “‘365 Days/365 Plays’ quickly gets to the point on topics like race and power” and praises recent Augsburg grads: “. . .with 46 different scenarios to enact in rapid-fire succession, stage managers Quinci Bachman and Malick Ceesay might be the unseen VIPs of this production.”

Martha Johnson directed an earlier version of this production with a student cast at Augsburg in February 2012. Full Circle’s new version features 5 directors (Stephanie Lein Walseth, Harry Waters Jr., Rick Shiomi, Lara Trujillo, Martha Johnson) and a cast of 10 professional actors. Noted actor James A. Williams was featured opening weekend. Well-known African dancer Patricia Brown choreographs. Quinci Bachman serves as co-sound designer and stage manager. Malick Ceesay serves as props designer and assistant stage manager.

Please join the campus community in wishing Benjy Kent the best of luck as he retires after 21 years at Augsburg College. Benjy originally joined Augsburg as the men’s soccer coach. In his time here, Benjy has been the Director of Academic Advising, served as the interim Director of the CLASS Office, and most recently served as the Director of Academic Achievement. Benjy has also taught FYE courses and chaired the retention committee.

In each of these roles Benjy provided leadership and support to students and colleagues alike, with grace, generosity, and care. The breadth of roles Benjy has held at the College serves as a testament to his passion for the students of Augsburg College and embodies the definition of servant leadership.

Benjy leaves a legacy focused on serving students and his colleagues. He is a generous and caring colleague who will be truly missed. Please help us wish Benjy well in the next chapter of his life at a farewell gathering, Thursday, May 25, from 12:30 – 2:00pm, in OGC 100.

WHY TAKE THE COMMUTER CHALLENGE?

Healthier You. Active transportation choices like bicycling, walking or riding the bus or train get you closer to the 30 minutes of physical activity recommended for heart health, plus it’s a great stress reducer.

Healthier Finances. It costs roughly $8,900 per year to own and operate an average car.* Save money on fuel and maintenance costs when you drive less often.

Healthier Environment. Changing how you get around – even just a few days a week – is an easy, inexpensive way to improve air quality and reduce your carbon footprint.
