Twin Cities Stories – Share Yours in a Community Archive with the Mixed Blood Theater

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

The Mixed Blood Theater is gathering a people’s history of this moment and need your help. What has this experience been like for you? What have you seen? What are you doing? How are you feeling?

It might be a true personal recollection.
It might be an interview with someone in your community.
It might be a poem or picture or piece of flash fiction that captures a feeling or a snapshot of what is happening right now in our communities.
It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to come from you.

To be transparent, as with everything right now, this project is emergent—we’ll learn and adjust. As story tellers, our intention is to capture and preserve the stories of this moment, as people want them told. We expect to post these stories as part of a gallery of responses to create a tapestry of experiences of the now. We are guided by the creative commons licensing (freely sharing the work) that others can use to create, study, make, remember.

Please add your story and invite others to share theirs using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffi0YyKCG7fCZFY3OitscYP1p2Qo0ZhJYERF-LcCXjzbGtCg/viewform

HOW WE THRIVE: STORIES OF WHAT IT MEANS TO THRIVE – TOGETHER.
Tristan Crowell
Wednesday February 25, 2026
12:00 p.m. – 12:20 p.m.
Hoversten Chapel

Tristan Crowell will speak about how difficult it can make sense of what’s going on during uncertain times and how we should respond to any of it. Leaning on our connections can be an important part in the process of understanding.

Tristan is a queer, Filipino immigrant whose life and work is motivated by a desire to explore alternative ways of existing, being a good neighbor, and cultivating hope for everything that is not here. He received his Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Minnesota and his Master of Social Work from Augsburg University where he currently serves as a Student Specialist in the Department of Multicultural Life. Most importantly, he’s just a guy.

Apply to Be a 2026-27 Christensen Scholar

submitted by myers@augsburg.edu

We are now taking applications for the 2026-2027 cohort of Christensen Scholars. Apply at the link below by Friday March 27, 2026.

Christensen Scholars spend a year in community exploring questions of faith, identity, and vocation through a Christian theological lens. Students should be open to engaging seriously and openly with these topics, but it is not a requirement that a student be an active member of a faith community. Applicants need only be open to sharing about and listening to a diverse set of perspectives within the Christian tradition.

BENEFITS:
• Develop a deeper understanding of your own vocation in a caring community.
• Create a deeper sense of belonging among your peers.
• Learn new ways to live out your faith on a daily basis within the community.
• Experience a remote mountain retreat center in the middle of winter.
• Receive a small scholarship and a $500.00 stipend to cover expenses.
• All-expenses-paid winter pilgrimage in mid-January.
• 4 upper division Religion credits (can be used toward your major or minor)

NOTE: RLN 100 is a prerequisite for this year-long course. We will gather every other Thursday evening (6pm-8pm), both Fall and Spring semesters. Additionally, the pilgrimage during the end of your winter break in January 2027 is mandatory. Students admitted are expected to have good attendance and participation in the sessions and on the trip in order to earn course credit.

Christensen Scholars program is co-led by Dr. Jeremy Myers (myers@ausburg.edu) from the Christensen Center for Vocation and Rev. John Schwehn (schwehn@augsburg.edu) from Campus Ministry.
