The School of Health is doing an Interprofessional Experience day on Monday February 24th which includes a simulated patient experience with a trans man patient. We are able to pay SIM patients $25 an hour for this.

There will not be any medications given, procedures done or invasive exams during this encounter. There will however be mentions of the patient previously facing transphobia, with the goal of our training our students to be affirming practitioners.

If you are a trans man or gender diverse individual who is interested, please email lohmannm@augsburg.edu. If you are AFAB but not a trans man and interested please only email if you are confident you can portray this respectfully.

What is the Cloud ERP Project, you ask? Augsburg is moving to a new comprehensive cloud-based information system between 2025 and 2029. If you’re a student, faculty, or staff member, then this project will be changing how you interact with Augsburg online over the next few years—registering for classes, submitting grades, viewing payslips, and more.

Part of this process will be on campus visits from three vendors showing what their solutions offer. The majority of these sessions will be with key departments (Human Resources, Finance, Registrar, and Advising) and some sessions will be aimed at a more general audience.

Below are times for the first vendor demonstrations by Workday aimed at a general audience. All are welcome to attend these sessions, though your role will determine which one is most relevant to you.

Susan Peacock, a valuable team member for the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE), will be retiring from her full-time work as of January 31st. Since 2012, Susan has been managing customized study abroad programs in El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and Cuba and she has done an AMAZING job! Since CGEE’s founding, more than 12,000 people have participated in our short-term programs, from hundreds of universities and institutions across the U.S. and Susan has played a significant role in the success of many of those programs. In addition to managing programs, Susan served as the country coordinator of CGEE’s Mexico program from 1987-1991. In the intervening years, she worked at The National Academies’ Committee on Human Rights, the Washington Office on Latin America, The National Security Archive at George Washington University, and the Guatemala Human Rights Commission. At CGEE, she often brought her expertise in peace-building and human rights to bear on the development of programming. We will greatly miss her contributions to our organization and we heartily thank Susan for her many years of commitment to peace and justice work!! Best wishes on the next leg of your journey from all your friends and colleagues at CGEE.

The Sabo Center is hosting a reading group for the 2021 book, Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira.

This book helps us learn how to:
Reimagine how we respond to crisis and relearn how to interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity, and failure
Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for pain and grief
Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm
Create space for change that isn’t driven by desperate hope or a fear of desolate hopelessness

We’re tentatively planning to gather the week of February 17th, the first full week of March, the week of March 24th, April 7th and 28th.

Please know that space is limited, we cannot guarantee a place for everyone. Email Jenean Gilmer (gilmerje@augsburg.edu) with any questions. To express interest, please fill out this form:
