What is IoT? IoT, or Internet of Things, is a network of physical devices embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity that enables these devices to connect and exchange data. These physical devices can be everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, Bluetooth headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of.

Based in Minneapolis, IoT Fuse is a a robust community of IoT practitioners, developers and makers who strive to build a deeper understanding of where the Internet of Things is today, where it is headed in the future, and how IoT associated technologies and use cases can be used to improve the physical world in which we live.

The IoT Fuse: Conference is an event that features a variety of exhibits, speakers and interesting sessions, with the aim of “fusing together” both engineers, developers and the technical crowd, with the marketing, business, finance and art crowd. This one of a kind event draws people from all over the country.

We learned today that Campus Pastor Emeritus Dave Wold passed away last night. Pastor Dave touched the lives of thousands of Auggies in his decades of service at Augsburg. President Pribbenow will be sharing an email message with all faculty and staff today, and Pastor Sonja Hagander will reach out to the family to offer support.

This morning, the community is invited to gather in Hoversten Chapel following our daily chapel service (10:55 a.m.), for a brief time of remembrance, prayer, and song.

Information about memorial services will be shared on A-mail once we know the family’s plan. Our sympathies go out to Cathy Wold and Dave’s family, as well as all the Auggies — on campus and around the world — whose lives were touched by Pastor Dave.

Come share your ideas and hear about other opportunities to live into our new space together! Bring a lunch or grab some from The Commons for brain food if needed.

What is in the air we breathe? The atmosphere is composed of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Other gases are present at much lower concentrations and include ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde just to name a few. nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and formaldehyde just to name a few. Besides these gases, there is something else in the air we breathe, tiny microscopic particles called aerosols. Not just the aerosol that comes from spray cans that you are all probably familiar with but this talk will focus on any liquid or solid particles that is suspended in the air, which is the definition of an aerosol. These tiny particles come from many sources and can impact the Earth’s climate and human health in ways we are just starting to understand.

Did you know that Augsburg University was founded by Norwegian immigrants almost 150 years ago? Reverend August Weenaas, together with a small group of students, travelled all the way from Norway, via Wisconsin, and settled here in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood. Norwegian and Scandinavian Studies were taught here for many years integrating the culture from the homeland and forming who we are today as an institution. Although Norwegian is not taught on a regular basis anymore, we still have a strong connection to Norway and our sister countries in Scandinavia as well as Finland and Iceland. The Norway Hub (located in Memorial 20) is a connector between what we hold onto as our Norwegian heritage and gifts both from the past, contemporary events of today, and those we see coming in the future.

Here are a few events you should be aware of:

Perception of Norway: A Photographic Exhibit on the Identity of Norwegians
Come see the new exhibit at Norway House photographer Nancy Bundt. This event runs April 6—June 10, 2018. On April 10 the artists will be in the house and share her artistic journey creating. More information can be found on the Norway House website.

Minneapolis St.Paul International Film Festival
Three Norwegian Films have made it to the the 37th annual International Film Festival: The 12th Man, Cloudboy, and What will People Say. The Festival runs from April 12 – 28. For showing times, see their website.

Acclaimed Norwegian Author Åsne Seierstad Interviewed
Åsne Seierstad will be discussing her brand new book Two Sister: A Father, His Daughters and their Journey into the Syrian Jihad with Fred de Sam Lazaro, Executive Director of The Under-Told Stories Project. The event takes place at the American Swedish Institute on Monday, April 16 at 7:00 pm. Go to this ticketing site to secure your tickets.

Did Jesus Ride a Dinosaur?

It sounds like a silly question, but it gets at the heart of a problem that-according to Pew Research-leads a significant number of youth to abandon their faith: the perceived conflict between faith and science.

Yet, faith and science don’t have to be at odds. There are faithful, fruitful, and intellectually rigorous ways of putting the two in conversation-something that might just be a lifeline for youth.

So bring your curiosity and questions to Jesus Rode a Dinosaur: Faithful Youth Ministry in a Scientific Age, a conference on May 7-8. Speakers include: Krista Tippett, Mike Mchargue, Kendra Dean, Mark DeVries, Rozella Haydée White, Paul Douglas and Andrew Root.

Learn more about this conference from this link: http://scienceym.org/jesus-rode-a-dinosaur-faithful-youth-ministry-in-a-scientific-age/?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Register+for+%E2%80%9CJesus+Rode+a+Dinosaur:+Faithful+Youth+Ministry+in+a+Scientific+Age.%E2%80%9D&utm_content=Did+Jesus+ride+a+dinosaur?&utm_campaign=20180321+-+Science+for+Youth+Ministry+Email+%231

RESERVE YOUR TICKETS NOW FOR THE CRUCIBLE!

THE CRUCIBLE
By Arthur Miller
Directed by Darcey Engen

April 4th through April 8th
Bethany Lutheran Church

Wednesday, April 4th – 7:00pm
Thursday, April 5th – 7:00pm

This contemporary site-specific revision of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible will perform at Bethany Lutheran Church on Franklin Avenue close to the Augsburg campus. Audiences will experience the play in close proximity to the actors as they move through the sanctuary and surrounding spaces. In a time of fake news and alternative facts, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a play about the Salem witch trails in colonial Massachusetts 1692, seems more significant then ever. Written by Miller in 1953 in response to McCarthyism, the play examines the dangers of extremism, fabricated accusations, and shattered trust.

Want to join us in celebrating Nobel Peace Prize laureates in September? If yes, reserve your tickets in the next few weeks!

We are aiming to repeat a successful event come September and hope you will join Augsburg University in honoring the work of President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia (2016 laureate) and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) (2017 laureate).

This year’s theme The Paradox of Peace will include plenaries, keynotes and breakout sessions related to tensions between conflict and reconciliation, between justice and forgiveness, between hope and fear, and will highlight the laureates’ successful accomplishments navigating these paradoxes.

The Nobel Peace Prize Forum will take place at Augsburg University on September 13-15, 2018 with the following schedule:
September 13: Community Action Workshops
September 14: Honoring the work of President Santos — all classes will take place at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum
September 15: Honoring the work of ICAN

Tickets are free for our Augsburg community including students, faculty and staff, and we encourage ticket reservations before the end of this spring semester.

In the coming weeks, our interns are scheduled to visit classrooms to share updates about the Forum and assist with any questions regarding the ticketing process. We invite faculty members who are interested in such a visit, to contact Camila Payan at payanrm@augsburg.edu, to reserve a time and date. In addition, Frankie Shackelford, Professor Emerita of Norwegian (shack@augsburg.edu), is available to assist with finding connections between the Forum content and courses scheduled for fall semester.

Please visit our website for more information regarding the upcoming event at peace.augsburg.edu. Registration can also be placed via tickets.augsburg.edu.
