Dennis Stuckey, Director of Facilities Management, is retiring after 10 years of dedicated services at Augsburg University. Please join us in celebrating his time here with a party on Tuesday, January 23rd from 2:00-3:30 p.m. in Marshall Room, Christensen Center. Dennis’ contributions to Augsburg will be felt for many years if not decades. His last major responsibility was as Augsburg’s project manager for the Hagfors Center construction project. What an amazing capstone to his career! I am also reminded of the beautiful art glass that Dennis made in tribute to Leland Sateren which hangs in the foyer of Sateren Auditorium. With the transformational Hagfors Center now complete, Dennis can step away into a retirement of hunting and fishing with his sons and grandchildren, traveling with his wife, and developing his new business venture Abrasive Art, LLC. Please note that a special presentation will occur at 2:15. Come by and say a fond farewell to Dennis and wish him much happiness and health!

Dear colleagues,
Please join me in congratulating Crystal Comer, University Registrar, who will be leaving Augsburg later this month for a new position as associate director of partner solutions at Collegis Education, an enrollment growth management and technology company. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for Crystal to use her many skills and experiences in non-profit higher education in the service of a diverse range of colleges and universities, which, like Augsburg, increasingly navigate the changing landscape of higher education with technology-based solutions, strategies, and analytics.
This has not been an easy decision for Crystal, given the people, the mission, and the incredible work we do. She leaves us grateful for the collaboration, collegiality, friendship, and trust that members of this community have extended to her.
Crystal’s last day will be January 19. A reception is being planned for Friday, January 19th from 2:30-4:00 pm in OGC 100. Please join us in celebrating Crystal’s contributions to Augsburg and wishing her the best in her future position.
In her five years at Augsburg, Crystal not only led work to revise and refresh policies, decision-making processes, and organizational structures, she also created new growth opportunities for Registrar’s Office staff while aligning resources with institutional strategic priorities around retention and graduation.
A transition plan will be developed and shared soon. Over the next several weeks, I will consult with members of my leadership team, Registrar’s Office staff, faculty, and others as we chart a path forward and seek new leadership for this important role.
Warm regards,
Karen

One Voice Mixed Chorus Presents Sanctuary, Exploring the Music of Minnesota’s Immigrant Communities
Where: Hoversten Chapel at Augsburg
When: Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 9:45-10-45AM
One Voice Mixed Chorus presents Sanctuary, a concert that explores the music of immigrant cultures to Minnesota- from early Scandinavians, to African Americans arriving through the Underground Railroad, and recent music of Hmong, Mexican and Somali communities. Several contemporary songs describe the experience of LGBT people struggling for a place of belonging and finding home through both biological and chosen family.
This concert is a collaboration with local non-profit, Green Card Voices, which has collected stories of youth immigrants.
One Voice’s OUT in Our Schools program will offer workshops in schools utilizing a curriculum designed by Green Card Voices. Paired with music from the Sanctuary concert, OUT in Our Schools engages students in researching and writing about their own immigrant history, including stories and music that comes from their cultural background.
One Voice will perform for middle-school students and the Augsburg community on Thursday, January 11 at Augsburg University in Minneapolis

Tjornhom-Nelson Theater

A prodigal son returns home unrecognized, having been abroad for twenty years, to an inn run by his mother and sister—who have been killing lodgers in order to make a living for themselves. In an immersive reimagining of this rarely performed play, described by Camus as the theatrical piece that “resembles him the most,” The Misunderstanding explores concepts of grief, guilt, and the absurdity of existence in a world that is equally cruel to the innocent and the criminal.
