Abdi Nor Iftin, author of “Call Me American”, will be speaking at a Club Book event on Monday, September 17th at 7:00 PM in Hoversten Chapel. Iftin’s immigration story begins in war-torn Mogadishu, where he risked his life chronicling the rise of Islamic extremism in Somalia as an underground NPR correspondent. He narrowly escaped to a refugee camp in Kenya, where against long odds he received an invitation from the U.S. Embassy to interview for a visa in 2014. His story was the subject of a popular episode (“Abdi and the Golden Ticket”) of the radio show and podcast This American Life. This event is being sponsored by Hennepin County Library.

Dr. Sherry Leung (Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) will be speaking to PHY 317 on Monday, September 10, 8:00 AM, in Hagfors 109. Dr. Leung is a membrane biophysicist and will be discussing lipids as a material in nanomedicine. The talk is open to the public. Abstract below.
Abstract: Nanomedicine is the medical application of nano-sized materials and devices. Despite the numerous advances in the development of soft materials for nanomedicine, the number of systems that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is surprisingly low. The majority of FDA approved nano-drug delivery systems are based on liposomes – a hollow spherical shell made up of a lipid bilayer. In addition to liposomes, the amphiphilic nature of lipids also allows them to self-assemble into other more complex structures. These other structures have a number of desirable properties for nanomedicine such as i) high surface-to-volume ratio, ii) capacity to encapsulate high loads of hydrophobic and hydrophilic solutes, as well as iii) membrane fusion properties that facilitate delivery. I will talk about my research on developing lipid materials for gene therapy applications.

Rosemond Owens, Director of Health Equity | Diversity and Inclusion for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, will speak to The Ecology of Human Suffering nursing class on September 10th.
If you are looking for a speaker for your class please contact the Strommen Center.
Summary:
Minnesota consistently ranks as one of the healthiest states in the nation, but those advantages don’t accrue to all. The fact is, our gap in health outcomes is among the greatest in the nation, with communities of color and American Indian communities usually facing the worst inequities. The face of Minnesota is changing. Our state will lose its healthy edge – and its way forward – if we don’t meet the needs of diverse communities and changing demographics.
Lately everyone is talking about health equity, while health inequities have been with us for generations. People experiencing inequities are often blamed for their predicaments, while health inequities are often caused by unfair treatment and systemic injustices such as structural and institutional racism.
Rosemond Sarpong Owens makes a compelling and urgent case for building equity into policies and practice. With her wide-ranging experience in public health, health equity and cultural competency, Rosemond brings a multifaceted perspective to this issue. She will provide insight on the many promising practices that can combat health inequities, including how Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota has created tools to embed equity in its policies and practices.
In this session, attendees will:
• Obtain a shared definition of health equity
• Understand what causes health inequities
• Understand strategies for advancing health equity
• Discuss effective resources and strategies in providing culturally competent care, including the LEARN Model

To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nelson Mandela, the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) and Global Minnesota are co-hosting a “Year of South Africa” event in the Hagfors atrium on Thursday evening, September 6, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. All Augsburg faculty, staff, and students are invited.
The president of Global Minnesota recently traveled with an Augsburg group to CGEE’s South African program sites, a visit that coincided with a Minnesota Trade Office mission to South Africa and a well-publicized tour by the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minnesota Chorale, and Minnesota Public Radio. We expect that people from all these contingents will join the event, making for a lively atmosphere. President Pribbenow and the South African consul general are also expected to attend.

MINNEAPOLIS — Augsburg University will be dedicating its press box at Edor Nelson Field in honor of the late Rev. Dave Wold during the Auggie football team’s home opener on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 1 p.m.
The ceremony to dedicate the Pastor Dave Wold Press Box will be held during halftime of Augsburg’s football game against Ripon (Wis.) at Edor Nelson Field. The event will also feature an all-class football team reunion. A lunch will be held in Murphy Square Park at 11:30 a.m., prior to the 1 p.m. kickoff.
Augsburg’s campus pastor from 1983 to 2013, Wold died on April 21, 2018 at age 72. In addition to his service to the Augsburg community as its faith leader, Wold was also a constant presence within the Augsburg athletics community, serving as public address announcer for the Auggies’ football, men’s basketball and wrestling home events, along with periodic events in many other sports. He also helped with the faith journeys of countless numbers of Augsburg student-athletes, not only during their years on the Minneapolis campus, but in their post-Augsburg days as alumni.
One of the unique traditions Wold created at Augsburg was the “Bunch of Guys Chorus,” the National Anthem singers at Augsburg home football and men’s basketball games. Before each game, Wold would invite any man in the crowd — singer or non-singer, Auggie or opponent alike — to meet either courtside or on the field to sing the National Anthem, with Wold leading the egalitarian group of singers with his booming bass voice.
For more information or to register for the event, contact Drew Privette in the Augsburg athletics office at 612-330-1249 or privette@augsburg.edu.

Please join me, Kelsey Richardson Blackwell, in a discussion about how we are changing our academic alert system. The session will be held on Wednesday, August 29 1:00-2:00 pm in Hagfors 250.
Every instructor has used the alert system differently. We have designed a new process – academic feedback and safety/wellness alerts – that is flexible while also encouraging best practices.

Save the dates for the 10th annual Overcoming Racism Conference
November 2-3, 2018
Metropolitan State University in St. Paul
Registration opens September 1st. Scholarship application open now.
This year’s conference theme is a Call for Resilience, Resistance, and Hope: “Overcoming Racism In Spite of …”
In spite of broken treaties, in spite of redlining, in spite of Rondo, in spite of Philando Castille and Jamar Clark, in spite of anti-immigration laws, in spite of voter suppression efforts, in spite of the school-to-prison pipeline, in spite of rising Islamophobia, in spite of the Dakota Access Pipeline and Enbridge Line 3
You get the picture! It’s a time to celebrate, to rededicate to this work, to elevate our learning and skills, and to network with each other to strengthen our movement.
The Overcoming Racism Conference grew out of the work of ASDIC (Antiracism Dialogue Circles) and Cherokee Park United Church. What started as a community meeting at the church quickly outgrew the space. The conference now meets at Metropolitan State University and draws people from all over the Twin Cities and aims to inspire people to work to overcome racism where they live, work and play, and to provide them with practical tools to do so. The conference draws more than 600 people, and offers keynote speakers, many workshops, and opportunities to network. Conference participants include community activists, educators, government employees, grass roots organizations, and community members who want to learn more. The conference workshops provide them with a wide range of offerings, appealing to both those who are new to antiracism work and want to get involved and those who have been working on these issues for decades.

Everyone from throughout the Metro is invited to the 16th Annual Block Party on August 15, 2018, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. hosted by Redeemer Lutheran Church. The Party will be at Redeemer, 1800 Glenwood Avenue, Minneapolis. Join us for free, delicious foods including items hot off the grill, produce from the community garden, fresh roasted corn, homemade pizza from the Harrison neighborhood outdoor bread oven, ice cream and cotton candy. Enjoy a wide variety of live local entertainment including Zumba and music, fun for children including a bounce house, dunk tank, face painting, Spin to Win school supplies, etc. and activities for every age, all individuals, and entire families. There also will be many displays from local organizations including health care providers, community groups, an ambulance, and a fire truck.
The “Annual Block Party brings neighbors together in an event that inspires and grows wonderful relationships and ongoing engagement among North Minneapolis neighbors and friends from surrounding communities,” says Kelly Chatman, Pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, which has been a vital part of the Harrison neighborhood for over 100 years and its non-profit partner, Redeemer Center for Life, has been active there nearly 20 years. “With our neighbors and partners, Redeemer offers attainable housing, health programs, and entrepreneurial opportunities that break the cycle of poverty and open a door to new possibilities, adds Chatman. “Together, we advance the vision of a beloved community, where everybody matters, each child is valued, and the world is a place of safety and belonging.”
