Time: Pick up at 5 p.m. with a return to campus around 7 p.m.

As we collaboratively welcome this group, we plan for different experiences including a dinner potentially hosted by you—our faculty and staff members—in your home.
These events create a space for our new students to connect directly with members of our community, AND the dinner provides a time for you to learn about the incoming international students and their goals at Augsburg. It’s really a win-win situation!
Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2022
Time: Pick up at 5 p.m. with a return to campus around 7 p.m.
We ask that our hosts pick up students from campus and return them once dinner is completed.
COVID status: ALL the new international students coming from abroad are required to follow the CDC and MDH guidelines (see more information in the form).
Thank you!

Catherina Kipper Open House – TOMORROW
submitted by tollina@augsburg.edu
Catherina Kipper, URGO’s Prehealth Professions Specialist, will be returning to the University of MN, having accepted a position as an Assistant Director of Advising in the College of Liberal Arts. In the seven plus years that Catherina worked at Augsburg she established a stellar prehealth science advising program and assisted countless students and alums with their applications and interviews to various prehealth science programs. She also served as the advisor to the newly created and active Pre-Dentistry and Pre-PA clubs.
Students sought Catherina out because she provided honest and thorough advice about how to be a competitive prehealth applicant. She is particularly gifted as a writing coach, painstakingly reading multiple drafts of statements and secondary applications, always helping students find their own voices. Because of her commitment and knowledge, more Augsburg students and alums gained admissions to prehealth programs and more of them had multiple offers.
All of her staff and faculty colleagues immediately noticed her professionalism, deep knowledge of the health professions, dedication to student advancement, cross cultural competency and generous nature. As the only other staff member in URGO, Catherina accepted multiple responsibilities to ensure that the office functioned with a high quality of service–always her standard.
We thank her for her dedicated service to Augsburg and wish her the best in her new position.
Please join us on Thursday, July 7th in Hagfors 101 for cake and well wishes from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

Welcome AP Teachers (June 27-30)
submitted by updike@augsburg.edu
The Center for Adult and Continuing Education is very excited to be welcoming Advanced Placement (AP) teachers back to campus during the week of June 27 – June 30. These 95 teachers will be participating in 12 different AP workshops. While this is a smaller group than we last hosted back in 2019, they are geographically diverse.

These teachers will be on campus for the week learning about their individual AP subject. All of their classes will be taking place in Hagfors, so if you see someone who might be looking for the “APSI” (Advanced Placement Summer Institute), please feel free to direct them to Hagfors.
There are a number of campus partners who have helped make this a success in planning. We would like to thank everyone who has assisted us up to this point, and we hope you know how much we appreciate you!
If you want to learn more about the APSI at Augsburg, we invite you to explore our website. You can also click on the registration links on the right side of the screen to see our different event pages. If you have questions about the APSI, we invite you to email us at apsi@augsburg.edu.

Come join the Environmental Stewardship Team and Augsburg Community Gardeners today from 12-1PM to learn more about the fruit growing in the garden. Mike Slinkard will share his knowledge about growing fruit and student Environmental Stewardship Coordinators will point out the edible fruit in the garden from ripening strawberries, to raspberry and apple fall favorites, and the hidden secret of serviceberries by the Hagfors benches. Learn about the garden, meet gardeners and ESC student interns, and enjoy some time outside with the greater Augsburg Community! No garden expertise and experience necessary! Cost is free of course. We will meet by the Hagfors doors that exit to the garden.
Weather Advisory: This workshop is going to be held when there is an Excessive Heat Warning in effect. Portions of the workshop will be held outside, but we will do some parts inside to escape the heat. It is recommended that you dress appropriately and to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Water and rest breaks will be taken.

In this interactive session, you will understand how activating purpose and belonging in the workplace builds an inclusive and inspiring culture – full of authentic, high trust, diverse relationships across an organization.

Next Week: Why the Workplace is the Perfect Place to Discuss the Undiscussables, Race and Racism
submitted by gocmen@augsburg.edu
When: June 16, 2022 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CT
Level: Intermediate
Presenters: Margaret Greenberg, The Business of Race, LLC | Gina Greenlee, The Business of Race, LLC
Cost: Free
Registration: https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/webinars/what-is-your-x-why-the-workplace-is-the-perfect-place-to-discuss-the-undiscussables-race-racism/
Talking about race and racism at work historically has been taboo. However, we can’t solve what we don’t talk about. It’s time for a new approach.
For nearly 60 years, workplaces have focused on diversity specific to gender and many historically underrepresented groups. Much of that focus has been on education, training, and awareness building at the individual level. What organizations haven’t devoted equal attention to is RACIAL diversity and how to change the SYSTEM of work—business policies and practices—to create and sustain a racially diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.
While no single societal sector can disrupt the status quo on its own, innovative businesses and courageous leaders can lead the way. No matter your racial identity, no matter your role or level in your organization, you can do SOMETHING. We don’t profess to know what that “something” is for you but in this session, you will learn two actionable tools to uncover it.
Learning Outcomes
Explore racial diversity through both an asset and business lens
Create a business case for racial diversity that will engage your multiple stakeholder groups
Facilitate strategy sessions using the SOAR (strengths, opportunities, aspirations, + results) framework
