Meal Train for the Department of Education

submitted by clarkk@augsburg.edu

There are no words to describe the passing of Dr. Jennie Diaz. The Education Department is working hard to support Augsburg students during this time and also grieving the loss of their beloved friend and colleague. After asking our colleagues in the Education Department what we could do to support them during this difficult time, a meal train surfaced. So, we created a meal train and thought we would share it with Department Chairs so different departments or individuals could have an opportunity to volunteer.

For the dates listed:

Tuesdays would be a meal for 8-10 people to drop off at noon (a fridge, microwave, coffee maker are available)

dietary restrictions: no pork, caffeine is split — two members are fasting for Ramadan

cold or reheat works best as folks teach across the full day and late into the evening

homemade or delivery is all deeply appreciated.

Thursdays would be dropping off dessert, snacks, or beverages (same details as above)

Also, anyone can donate gift cards for Grubhub or DoorDash — the Education Department could have the option to order in what they need as well. But they prefer to just have the food if possible as it is one less thing they have to manage with all these are dealing with. Thank you and we are grateful for your help.

Eclipse TODAY: Rain or Shine

We will have several different Sun-safe viewing options available (weather permitting), including solar telescopes, eclipse glasses, a sunspotter, and more! If it’s cloudy and we can’t observe the Sun ourselves, you can still join us to watch the NASA livestream of the eclipse.

If you miss this chance TODAY… you will be graduated or even retired when the next eclipse happens in North America (August 23, 2044). Thank you to Physics Faculty Katrina Marslender and Steve Brehmer for organizing this event.

Today – Math Pathways and Corequisite Models: Supporting Student Transitions

submitted by dupont@augsburg.edu

All are welcome to join us for the upcoming Mathematics Colloquium on Wednesday, March 27, 3:40 – 4:40 PM, in Hagfors 151.

Title: Math Pathways and Corequisite Models: Supporting Student Transitions

Speaker: Megan Breit-Goodwin, Anoka-Ramsey Community College

Talk Abstract:
Math Pathways and Corequisite models are reforms to introductory and college level mathematics that have increased student success and reduced equity gaps in gateway college mathematics completion and early credit attainment for students. These reforms are an important foundation to Minnesota State’s Equity 2030 goal and Guided Learning Pathways framework. Augsburg University is an important partner institution with Minnesota State in higher education in Minnesota and a significant transfer institution for 2YC students across Minnesota State. Contextualizing Math Pathways and Corequisite model reforms within program requirements at Augsburg University will support local conversations that can support successful transfer for students.

Speaker Bio:
Megan Breit-Goodwin teaches Mathematics and Statistics at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System, and a partner with Augsburg University in the Auggie Plan. Megan served as a Faculty Coordinator for the Minnesota State Mathematics Pathways Project from 2021 – 2023. She also worked with the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin and the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) on a 50-state scan of developmental mathematics models in the United States in 2023. When not teaching or working on college mathematics reforms, she might be found ringing handbells, walking a dog, or baking something delicious.

Title: Math Pathways and Corequisite Models: Supporting Student Transitions

Talk Abstract:
Math Pathways and Corequisite models are reforms to introductory and college level mathematics that have increased student success and reduced equity gaps in gateway college mathematics completion and early credit attainment for students. These reforms are an important foundation to Minnesota State’s Equity 2030 goal and Guided Learning Pathways framework. Augsburg University is an important partner institution with Minnesota State in higher education in Minnesota and a significant transfer institution for 2YC students across Minnesota State. Contextualizing Math Pathways and Corequisite model reforms within program requirements at Augsburg University will support local conversations that can support successful transfer for students.

Speaker Bio:

Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System, and a partner with Augsburg University in the Auggie Plan. Megan served as a Faculty Coordinator for the Minnesota State Mathematics Pathways Project from 2021 – 2023. She also worked with the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin and the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) on a 50-state scan of developmental mathematics models in the United States in 2023.

The Soil and The Story: Free Exhibition at the UMN through April 19

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

The Goldstein Museum of Design’s latest exhibition, The Soil and The Story, celebrates Black Soilship in the Black Belt by highlighting 12 farms researched in the last three years across Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Its organizers, bridging the College of Design and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, invite you to explore the relationships between science, nature, history, and culture–here and wherever you stand.

There is no U.S. agricultural history without the expertise and labor of Black people. Black farmers, horticulturists, scientists, and inventors have revolutionized the way our agricultural system functions. During the Great Migration six million Black people moved north and west to escape racial violence, economic and educational disadvantage, and the oppression of Jim Crow laws.

But many Black farmers remained. They liberate and heal both themselves and the soil by incorporating ancestral African traditions and indigenous land knowledge. The voices of Black farmers are essential to the knowledge and practices of U.S. soil health today and the design of systems and policies for the future.

This exhibition is organized by Tiffany LaShae, MS Land and Atmospheric Science, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, with Terresa Moses, Assistant Professor, Graphic Design and Director of Design Justice, College of Design.

The exhibit is in the HGA Gallery in Rapson Hall on the East Bank Minneapolis Campus of the University of Minnesota. Primary entrances are open to the public during regular business hours.

Racialized Musical (His)tories Guest Lecture by Dr. Philip Ewell TODAY 2-3:30 p.m.

RACIALIZED MUSICAL (HIS)TORIES Guest Lecture by Dr. Philip Ewell on Thursday, 3/21, 2-3:30pm,

Sateren Auditorium

In certain languages the words for “history” and “story” are the same, as in French (histoire) or Russian (история). “History” usually implies an accurate account of past events, while “story” usually refers to events that may or may not accurately reflect on the past, embellished as necessary by a “storyteller.” But in this distinction, race is rarely mentioned. Anyone, irrespective of race, can write histories or tell stories, yet with remarkable consistency in the academic study of music in the U.S., our histories have been written by white persons, usually men, passing from generation to generation with little divergence from narratives of “great works” of the “western canon.” And when a nonwhite voice challenges the white narrative, efforts to stifle that voice are swift and severe. In this talk I’ll expand on music’s histories and stories, and explain why the common American music curriculum is still segregated along racial lines. I’ll then suggest that we need to desegregate it and foreground race in our discussions so that all racial musics, and musical races, have a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation.
