As a united University community, we continue to seek ways to offer resources that support faculty and staff, both on and off campus. The need to pay attention to what is happening around us remains.

For those who are interested in community defense training, the following options are available:

• States at the Core, who offer multiple online training sessions each month to a nationwide audience.
• Monarca, a local Minnesota organization that offers several in-person training sessions throughout the greater Twin Cities and western WI.

For those who are interested in attending training in community, Human Resources, the Provost’s Office, and the Post 1/20 Task Force have reserved space on campus, and will be streaming a 90-minute live webinar presented by States at the Core on the following dates:

Wednesday, March 11 (OGC/Oren 201)
Wednesday, March 25 (OGC/Oren 201)
Wednesday, April 1 (OGC/Oren 201)

• The webinars are identical; is not necessary to attend all of them.
• The webinar will begin at 6:00 p.m.
• Augsburg will register as an institution, no individual registration is required.
• As this is a nationwide webinar, the audience is not visible.

Those who are interested in attending the training off-campus should individually register.

As additional training and resources become available for faculty and staff, we will continue to provide those opportunities to all.

On Thursday, March 5 at 7 pm, the Department of Mathematics, Data Science, and Computer Science is hosting a screening of the film Counted Out in Science 123. All are welcome to attend.
This 90 minute 2024 film explores the idea that mathematics should be for everyone:

In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get—all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice.

But whether we know it or not, our numeric literacy—whether we can speak the language of math—is a critical determinant of social and economic power.

Through a mosaic of personal stories, expert interviews, and scenes of math transformation in action, Counted Out shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo. Do we want an America in which most of us don’t consider ourselves “math people”? Where math proficiency goes down as students grow up? Or do we want a country where everyone can understand the math that undergirds our society—and can help shape it?
