Augsburg’s 150th History Now Available
submitted by groven@augsburg.edu
Augsburg’s 150th History: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/philadamobooks
The history of Augsburg is the history of America, in microcosm. That’s my take away after reading the remarkably fast-paced, entertaining and deeply meaningful “Hold Fast to What is Good: A History of Augsburg University in 10 Objects.” Augsburg’s history, like that of America, includes the struggles of generations of immigrants, the industrial revolution, the civil rights movement, modern feminism, and the broader quest for equity and inclusion.
Featuring fascinating and largely unknown stories from Augsburg’s past, including tales of murder, world explorers, major land deals gone awry, the ancient city of Troy, and protest marches at the height of the Vietnam War, this book is that rare history that transcends the past.

Retirement Celebration for Jim Trelstad-Porter
submitted by mulvihil@augsburg.edu
Please join the campus community in congratulating Jim Trelstad-Porter on his 30 years of service to Augsburg University! Jim’s introduction to Augsburg came in 1988 when he participated in a CGEE semester program in Mexico. His career in global education includes holding different positions in Washington D.C.; Cuernavaca, Mexico; and Minneapolis. Jim has a deep love for Augsburg, his colleagues, and the students from over 75 countries to whom he says he owes a debt of gratitude for the shared journey of seeking a better self and world.
Jim has also helped to make a better Augsburg. He assisted in developing and maintaining some of our most vital global-exchange relationships. Our international students—both degree-seeking and exchange—have consistently felt supported by ISSS under Jim’s leadership. His involvement in intercultural development work has assisted many colleagues and students in personal and professional growth. Most important of all, Jim has treated everyone around him—faculty, students, and staff—with respect, humility, and care. Jim truly embodies Augsburg’s values.
We will celebrate Jim with an on-campus reception on Monday, November 25, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Location and other details will be announced. Students, staff, faculty, and administrators are invited to attend.

I get to be sort of a utility player and really experience a wide breadth of the great work folks are doing here and learn from them.

Get Your Copy of Augsburg’s 150th History
submitted by groven@augsburg.edu
Augsburg’s 150th History: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/philadamobooks
The history of Augsburg is the history of America, in microcosm. That’s my take away after reading the remarkably fast-paced, entertaining and deeply meaningful “Hold Fast to What is Good: A History of Augsburg University in 10 Objects.” Augsburg’s history, like that of America, includes the struggles of generations of immigrants, the industrial revolution, the civil rights movement, modern feminism, and the broader quest for equity and inclusion.
Featuring fascinating and largely unknown stories from Augsburg’s past, including tales of murder, world explorers, major land deals gone awry, the ancient city of Troy, and protest marches at the height of the Vietnam War, this book is that rare history that transcends the past.

SOC/URB111: City Life: Intro to Urban Sociology (fulfills Social Behavioral Sciences LAF), or
SOC/URB 295: Living Green in Amsterdam (elective)
This program also fulfills the Augsburg Experience requirement
Faculty Leader: Lars Christiansen
Travel Dates: May 7-22, 2020
Program Description:
Today, most of the world’s population lives in metropolitan areas, whether that means a traditional city, a suburb, an exurb or a slum – this is a very recent change in human history. Humans are fundamentally social beings, and urban areas provide the space where most people are born, grow up and interact with one another throughout their entire lifetimes.. We will explore the city as a social and political phenomenon and examine how the design of cities affects social interactions in perhaps surprising ways – the placement of buildings and the design of open space may make us want to be in an area or flee it.
***Economic Crisis, Small Business & Ethics in Greece***
Course options:
KEY 490, ECO 495 , or BUS 495 (students register for one course).
This program also fulfills the Augsburg Experience requirement.
Faculty Leaders:
Stella Hofrenning and Phyllis Kapetenakis
Travel Dates:
May 13-27, 2020 Approximately 3 pre-travel meetings will also be held.

Bethany Lutheran Church to gift Franklin Avenue property to Augsburg
submitted by pribbeno@augsburg.edu
This past Sunday, Bethany Lutheran Church announced to its congregation its intention to gift its property at the corner of Franklin Avenue and 25th Avenue South in the Seward neighborhood to Augsburg University. The gift is contingent on a congregational vote, which is scheduled for October 27. It will then need to be formally received by approval of the Augsburg Board of Regents.
In coming to this decision, Bethany Lutheran leadership and the Minneapolis Area Synod of the ELCA was engaged with Augsburg about the potential future for the property. While there is still much exploration to do, Augsburg’s objective is to determine a long-term use for the location that advances our educational mission and community engagement and honors Bethany’s unique legacy of service to the Seward neighborhood.
In the near-term, we do not expect any immediate operational changes. The Bethany Lutheran congregation will continue to occupy the building and worship in the space through May 2020. Commitments are in place relative to current tenants for continued use until alternative plans are mutually developed in the longer-term. Augsburg also will support Bethany’s ministry of Soup For You and assure its continuation in the neighborhood.
With the anticipation of a new pedestrian bridge over I-94, Augsburg will be more closely connected to the Franklin Avenue corridor and the Seward neighborhood than it has been in the last half century. This property offers us an exciting opportunity to engage even more fully with that vibrant and richly diverse neighborhood.
There is much more to come relative to this project. We anticipate beginning an exploration process this summer, and, in the meantime, plan to update various groups on campus — beginning with University Council at its monthly meeting yesterday.
