Individuals from all backgrounds are encouraged to participate in our upcoming Whole Leader Roundtable. Hosted by the Reell Office of Seeing Things Whole, these gatherings allow leaders the opportunity to network and provide insight to each other on today’s leadership challenges.

JOIN US AT THE NEXT ROUNDTABLE ON APRIL 12
Our next in-person Whole Leader Roundtable is Wednesday, April 12th (5:30 – 8pm) at Augsburg. You can also check out the Whole Leader Roundtable Schedule online at https://www.augsburg.edu/seeingthingswhole/whole-leaders/roundtables/. The Roundtable is free, but advanced registration is required.

Our next Zoom Roundtable is Friday, April 21⋅12:00 – 1:15pm. This opportunity is open to current Augsburg Graduate Students only.

Contact Keri Clifton at cliftonk@augsburg.edu to register for either opportunity or to get more information.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
One individual brings a challenge for the group to explore using the Seeing Things Whole Threefold Model to understand a “whole” way forward. Advice is not given, but questions are asked as the group supports the individual to discover the many dimensions of the challenge.

Challenges can be anything the individual is navigating, including how to balance work and life, how to make professional decisions about a new career path, or how sustain oneself in a challenging yet fulfilling environment.

Through the Roundtable, we build trusting relationships that support leaders to reflect openly and gain insight to tackle challenges. This process supports their ability to see things whole.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Read what past Roundtable participants are saying.
“I find the model to be very thorough in a way that fosters a unique depth of conversation.”

“I am more mindful of others. We all have stories and hearing the others reminds me the people I interact with on a daily basis have stories as well that affect our interactions.”

This May, a team from Minnesota will be attempting to break the world record for paddling the 2,340 miles of the Mississippi River. The record currently stands at a little under 18 days (paddling around the clock).. They are looking for two or three volunteers for support crew on the trip south. This team attempted to break the record last year, came very close, but had to call it off near the end due to a bad storm. This would be an opportunity to participate in an ambitious project, potentially be part of a world-record setting team, and learn a lot about how to mount a complicated and challenging endeavor. If you are interested and want to learn more, contact Prof. Joe Underhill (underhil@augsburg.edu), who can get you in touch with the lead support team organizer, “Moose” Dougherty.

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate to 1,200+ students across 9 districts in the Twin Cities. We find creative ways to adapt and innovate the debate format to meet student needs- and that’s what our financial literacy debate program is designed to do!

Research shows that young women and gender expansive youth have less knowledge and confidence in their financial literacy.

We know that debate helps students build their knowledge, skills, and confidence in its regular format- and that other urban debate leagues have seen a 35% increase in financial literacy thanks to similar programming! Help us make it possible here in the Twin Cities- volunteer!

Our Financial Literacy tournament this year will take place on Saturday, June 3 from 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM at Augsburg University. Students will be debating about financial institutions and which is best for individual needs based on a profile presented to them upon entering the debate round.

The affirmative team will always argue that a large national bank is best and the negative team will choose whether they want to argue that a credit union, community bank, or neobank is best for the profile presented.

This opportunity includes judging 3 debate rounds and then attending a networking lunch where students can chat with their judges about their financial interests, questions, etc.
We need volunteers to make it happen! Please sign up if you meet the following criteria:
• Have significant financial knowledge (judges are typically financial professionals)
• Identify as women, or gender expansive(since this program was created for students that identify in this way)

If you have any questions, please let us know! We hope to hear from you soon or see you at the tournament!

The Cedar-Riverside/West Bank neighborhood in Minneapolis is one of the most diverse communities in the Midwest, with a longstanding tradition of activism, cultural diversity, and the arts. The neighborhood has long been a landing place for newly arrived immigrants, with some moving on and some settling in the West Bank more permanently. Today the neighborhood is home to a large East African community, including Somali, Ethiopian, and Oromo people who live alongside neighbors and descendants from earlier waves of immigration. The West Bank continues to welcome new arrivals. Build your cultural understanding during this interactive, in-person experience that includes a walking tour of the neighborhood with Abdirizak Bihi, host of KFAI’s Somali Link Radio; food sampling from local restaurants; and stories from community members.

Title: Find Calm in Chaos: Radical Self-Care in Uncertain Times
Date: Tues., May 9th
Time: 1:30-3:00
Location: virtual

For a variety of reasons, employees across the globe are feeling deep levels of burnout and languishing that, for many, has led to “quiet quitting” or literal quitting. We know that these challenges are often experienced even more acutely by BIPOC and non-majority employees, who exist within systems of oppression and who are often called on to do the work of dismantling those systems in more emotionally laborious ways. Given the increasing complexity of our work, as well as the emotional toll of the last handful of years, many Augsburg employees have expressed desire for opportunity for connection, engagement, and time to prioritize professional and personal care. This session, provided with the support of President Pribbenow and the Health and Well-Being Task Force, offers space for employees to take time out of the demand for productivity to intentionally focus on the health and well-being of ourselves as individuals within the Augsburg community.

From Dr. Lewis:
This session is a gift of time and space to take a deep breath together in community. We explore practices of Radical Self-Care and being “awake” that help create space for wellness, and thereby interrupt the effects of toxic stress and trauma, especially related to the world pandemic and racial injustice. By the end, participants connect with themselves and others more deeply and practice healthy expressions of grief, pain, and joy. Strengthening our foundations around radical self-care can help us all show up for ourselves, our loved ones and our community.

The neighborhood has long been a landing place for newly arrived immigrants, with some moving on and some settling in the West Bank more permanently. Today the neighborhood is home to a large East African community, including Somali, Ethiopian, and Oromo people who live alongside neighbors and descendants from earlier waves of immigration. The West Bank continues to welcome new arrivals. Build your cultural understanding during this interactive, in-person experience that includes a walking tour of the neighborhood with Abdirizak Bihi, host of KFAI’s Somali Link Radio; food sampling from local restaurants; and stories from community members. K-12 educators will receive 4 clock hours.

This event is a collaboration with Pillsbury United Communities/Brian Coyle Center, Augsburg University, the West Bank Business Association. Read more about it in this Mill City Times article: http://millcitytimes.com/news/learning-from-place-cedar-riverside-immersive-experience-apr.html

Registration is FULL, with a few spots reserved at no-cost for Augsburg staff and faculty. Please email gilmerje@augsburg.edu if you’re interested in attending. You can also learn more here: https://www.mnhum.org/event/lfp-cedar-riverside/

What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, and what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural?

The collection explores stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space–finding rich Blackness everywhere. Together we will consider the significance of nature in our lives and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks.

Light refreshments will be served. Parking is available in Lot D. Books can be purchased in person at the event and online. Photos from Augsburg’s Pan-Afrikan Archive will be on display.

Individuals from all backgrounds are encouraged to participate in our upcoming Whole Leader Roundtable. Hosted by the Reell Office of Seeing Things Whole, these gatherings allow leaders the opportunity to network and provide insight to each other on the leadership challenges of today.

JOIN US AT THE NEXT ROUNDTABLE ON APRIL 12
Our next in-person Whole Leader Roundtable is Wednesday, April 12th (5:30 – 8pm) at Augsburg. You can also check out the Whole Leader Roundtable Schedule online at https://www.augsburg.edu/seeingthingswhole/whole-leaders/roundtables/. The Roundtable is free, but advanced registration is required.

Our next Zoom Roundtable is Friday, April 21⋅12:00 – 1:15pm. This opportunity is open to current Augsburg Graduate Students only.

Contact Keri Clifton at cliftonk@augsburg.edu to register for either opportunity or to get more information.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
One individual brings a challenge for the group to explore using the Seeing Things Whole Threefold Model to understand a “whole” way forward. Advice is not given, but questions are asked as the group supports the individual to discover the many dimensions of the challenge.

Challenges can be anything the individual is navigating, including how to balance work and life, how to make professional decisions about a new career path, or how sustain oneself in a challenging yet fulfilling environment.

Through the Roundtable, we build trusting relationships that support leaders to reflect openly and gain insight to tackle challenges. This process supports their ability to see things whole.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Read what past Roundtable participants are saying.
“I find the model to be very thorough in a way that fosters a unique depth of conversation.”

“I am more mindful of others. We all have stories and hearing the others reminds me the people I interact with on a daily basis have stories as well that affect our interactions.”

Minnesota Humanities Center Presents: Learning from Place: Cedar-Riverside/West Bank
April 29 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The Cedar-Riverside/West Bank neighborhood in Minneapolis is one of the most diverse communities in the Midwest, with a longstanding tradition of activism, cultural diversity, and the arts. The neighborhood has long been a landing place for newly arrived immigrants, with some moving on and some settling in the West Bank more permanently. Today the neighborhood is home to a large East African community, including Somali, Ethiopian, and Oromo people who live alongside neighbors and descendants from earlier waves of immigration. The West Bank continues to welcome new arrivals. Build your cultural understanding during this interactive, in-person experience that includes a walking tour of the neighborhood with Abdirizak Bihi, host of KFAI’s Somali Link Radio; food sampling from local restaurants; and stories from community members. K-12 educators will receive 4 clock hours.

This event is a collaboration with Pillsbury United Communities/Brian Coyle Center, Augsburg University, the West Bank Business Association. Read more about it in this Mill City Times article: http://millcitytimes.com/news/learning-from-place-cedar-riverside-immersive-experience-apr.html

Registration is $30, with some spots reserved at no-cost for Augsburg staff and faculty. Please email gilmerje@augsburg.edu if you’re interested in attending. You can also learn more and register here: https://www.mnhum.org/event/lfp-cedar-riverside/
