For Native American Heritage Month, American Indian Student Services is sponsoring an Indigenous Book club where we will read A History of Kindness by Linda Hogan. Poems from Linda Hogan explore new and old ways of experiencing the vagaries of the body and existing in harmony with earth’s living beings. Throughout this clear-eyed collection, Hogan tenderly excavates how history instructs the present, and envisions a future alive with hope for a healthy and sustainable world that now wavers between loss and survival. We will meet on Monday, Nov. 7th from 5pm-7pm to discuss the book and have dinner. RSVP is limited to 20 people. Students, staff, and faculty are welcome to participate. You will receive the book after you RSVP. Please direct any questions to aiss@augsburg.edu.

Education Minnesota will be on campus to help you learn about your student debt forgiveness options — including the latest on President Biden’s debt relief announcement of up to $20,000 — in their “Degrees, Not Debt” seminar.
Student debt is no longer just a burden—it’s become a barrier to the American Dream. Minnesota ranks fifth in the nation for student debt, with the average student debt load at $30,894 for state college students. Education Minnesota, the state teachers’ union, wants to help relieve your debt burden and make college more affordable and accessible to all. This is particularly important for our public schools. If teaching becomes an unaffordable profession, it will become even more difficult to attract and retain high-quality educators.

Today at 4:00pm the Augsburg community is invited for a celebration as we “flip the switch” on the first solar-powered building on campus. The demonstration project, funded by the student-led Environmental Action Committee and dubbed a “Unit of Resistance,” is a small work shed located on the south side of campus. The structure has a 2 kiloWatt solar array on its roof and a battery bank and power system that can be used for powering tools and other projects in this outdoor maker space. The blue shed with a bright red door (hard to miss) is located for now where 21st Avenue dead-ends at the freeway wall, at the west end of Lot B. After the system is turned on there will be some food, socializing, discussion of other ways to reduce Augsburg’s carbon footprint, and of other creative projects students can participate in.

Please join Dr. Rachel Lloyd, Education Department, for a presentation of her sabbatical research project, “Experiences of Early-Career English Teachers,” today, Monday, October 3, from 2 to 3 pm in Lindell Library, room 301.

The research is informed by prior research on teacher retention factors, and made specific inquiries into the enactment of dialogic pedagogies, and factors influencing the selection of literature within their curricula. Dr. Lloyd will present initial findings from these interviews, and facilitate a discussion of the implications of these findings for work with aspiring educators.
