The Augsburg Local team is thrilled to share our Catering Guide! Our aim with this project is to encourage the use of local- and BIPOC-owned caterers for smaller on-campus events (fewer than 25 people). This is a living document and we welcome your comments and suggestions.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please email augsburglocal@augsburg.edu. We’re excited to share this resource with the campus community and we hope you’ll use it when planning your next event!

[Augsburg Local is a campaign to leverage Augsburg’s purchasing power to support local businesses. The Augsburg Local campaign includes a variety of activities and strategies to intentionally connect locally owned, Black/Indigenous/People of Color (BIPOC) owned, and Femmes/Trans/Womxn (FTW) owned businesses to the economic benefits generated by both individual and institutional purchasing.]

Augsburg University Music announces two unique vocal ensemble opportunities open to the Augsburg community.

For students, faculty, and staff:

The Augsburg/Twin Cities Global Harmony Project is open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. Available to students for course credit, this choir assumes no music-reading ability. The core of the curriculum is shared with our community cohort, open to anyone in the greater Metro area within driving distance of a weekly, joint rehearsal. This choir receives direct instruction from culture-bearers sharing their vocal harmony traditions from many continents. Our artist-instructors, teaching via the oral method, have taught us in regional styles from Appalachia, Bosnia, Corsica, Cuba, the Republic of Georgia, Iran, Madagascar, Nigeria, Quebec, Siberia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, and the traditional Black gospel churches of the United States.

For students:

For singers with a firm base in music-literacy skills, the Augsburg/Mirandola Chamber Collective course brings students into weekly side-by-side study, rehearsal, and performance collaboration with the professional chamber artists of The Mirandola Ensemble. Students enrolled in this ensemble will also perform the international repertoire at the core of the Augsburg/Twin Cities Global Harmony Project.

Placement hearings will be held August 31–September 2. For details, visit the Music Department website or send questions to Dr. Kristina Boerger: boerger@augsburg.edu

Augsburg University Music announces two unique vocal ensemble opportunities open to the Augsburg community.

For students, faculty, and staff:

The Augsburg/Twin Cities Global Harmony Project is open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. Available to students for course credit, this choir assumes no music-reading ability. The core of the curriculum is shared with our community cohort, open to anyone in the greater Metro area within driving distance of a weekly, joint rehearsal. This choir receives direct instruction from culture-bearers sharing their vocal harmony traditions from many continents. Our artist-instructors, teaching via the oral method, have taught us in regional styles from Appalachia, Bosnia, Corsica, Cuba, the Republic of Georgia, Iran, Madagascar, Nigeria, Quebec, Siberia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, and the traditional Black gospel churches of the United States.

For students:

For singers with a firm base in music-literacy skills, the Augsburg/Mirandola Chamber Collective course brings students into weekly side-by-side study, rehearsal, and performance collaboration with the professional chamber artists of The Mirandola Ensemble. Students enrolled in this ensemble will also perform the international repertoire at the core of the Augsburg/Twin Cities Global Harmony Project.

Placement hearings will be held August 31–September 2. For details, visit the Music Department website or send questions to Dr. Kristina Boerger: boerger@augsburg.edu

And guess what? We are almost back to normal numbers for international students: 18 new incoming degree seekers, 5 transfer students, and about 11 exchange students. AMAZING!

As we collaboratively welcome this group, we plan for different experiences including a dinner potentially hosted by you—our faculty and staff members—in your home.

These events create a space for our new students to connect directly with members of our community, AND the dinner provides a time for you to learn about the incoming international students and their goals at Augsburg. It’s really a win-win situation!

Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2022
Time: Pick up at 5 p.m. with a return to campus around 7 p.m.

We ask that our hosts pick up students from campus and return them once dinner is completed.

COVID status: ALL the new international students coming from abroad are required to follow the CDC and MDH guidelines (see more information in the form).

Thank you!

Support urban wildlife and birders of all abilities. Donate your art for the Tiny Roberts Art Fundraiser!

Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary is an undeveloped natural area in Lyndale Park near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, MN, part of the Chain of Lakes Important Bird Area and located on the homelands of the Dakota people, the original stewards and inhabitants of this area.

Friends of Roberts Bird Sanctuary, an all-volunteer non-profit public charity, is seeking local artists to donate their tiny wildlife art inspired by the bird sanctuary for an upcoming online art auction. Proceeds from the auction will be used to construct a wooden deck adjacent to the visitors shelter. The new Roberts terrace will improve accessibility and provide a great spot for people of all ages and abilities to observe wildlife in the sanctuary.

Call for Art Details:
• Seeking 2-dimensional art; flat 3D work OK (i.e. mosaic)
• Medium: paintings, drawings, printmaking, collages, beadwork, etc. are welcome. Photography is ok if printed on a mini canvas.
• Dimensions: Must fit within 6″ x 10″ bubble mailer.
• Subject: Birds, mammals, plants, fungi, natural life, & landscapes found in Roberts Bird Sanctuary!

Contact tinyrobertsauction@gmail.com to arrange your donation.
