The Scholarship Display is an annual opportunity for faculty to show-off work they completed/presented during the last year! Scholarship takes many forms and we can display just about anything 🙂
The Scholarship Display takes place on Friday, April 28th from 1:30 – 2:00pm in the Arnold Atrium just outside the Hoversten Chapel, and immediately precedes the Faculty Recognition Reception. All items are only temporarily displayed and remain the property of the faculty member.
Have something to display? Just complete the very short form below and we’ll take care of the rest 🙂

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.
When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members
The Integrated Course Design workshop is now full and anybody who would like to be on the waiting list should contact ctl@augsburg.edu directly. Thanks!

Do you wish you had uninterrupted time to write/work on scholarship? If so, you will want to take advantage of the annual Jessica Nathanson Scholarly Writing Retreat at the Dunrovin Retreat Center. Jess established a tradition of allowing faculty time away from campus to focus entirely on scholarship. There is no schedule for this retreat – it is simply time and space to work on scholarship. There is no cost to you for this retreat — The Center for Teaching and Learning will cover room and board (and WiFi). We ask that you commit to being present on all three days of the event. Our time begins at 5:00 pm on Sunday May 14th and ends at 3:00 pm on Tuesday May 16th. Space is limited to 18 full-time faculty members.

The film program received a $1,200 grant from the Upper Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The Classroom Grant will be presented during a live ceremony for lighting equipment. The new lights will improve production quality, align with industry conversion to LED, and demonstrate the school’s commitment to green production practices.
This grant follows a grant earlier this year from the Environmental Action Committee to purchase lights.

Lindell Library hosts an informational exhibit about the karst geology of southeastern Minnesota, which includes the Twin Cities area. The exhibit was created by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to communicate the unique challenges for keeping groundwater clean in karst regions. It explores some of the sources of water pollution and what all of us can do to ensure safe drinking water and healthy streams.
Stop by the exhibit in the Learning Commons on the street level of the library through the end of the semester and finals to view the exhibit. Take a quick quiz on the material and receive puffy stickers as a prize! While supplies last.

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.
When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members are eligible to apply for one of the 8 seats in the workshop. Those accepted into the ICD Workshop will receive a $1000 stipend to support work on their course over the Summer.

Lindell Library hosts an informational exhibit about the karst geology of southeastern Minnesota, which includes the Twin Cities area. The exhibit was created by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to communicate the unique challenges for keeping groundwater clean in karst regions. It explores some of the sources of water pollution and what all of us can do to ensure safe drinking water and healthy streams.
Stop by the exhibit in the Learning Commons on the street level of the library through the end of the semester and finals to view the exhibit. Take a quick quiz on the material and receive puffy stickers as a prize! While supplies last.

Zyzzogeton will take place on Tuesday, April 11, 3 – 4:30pm in Hagfors Center. There will be a convocation schedule for that day and no classes scheduled during the event time, so we hope that all students, faculty and staff are able to attend!

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.
When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members are eligible to apply for one of the 8 seats in the workshop. Those accepted into the ICD Workshop will receive a $1000 stipend to support work on their course over the Summer.

Do you wish you had uninterrupted time to write/work on scholarship? If so, you will want to take advantage of the annual Jessica Nathanson Scholarly Writing Retreat at the Dunrovin Retreat Center. Jess established a tradition of allowing faculty time away from campus to focus entirely on scholarship. There is no schedule for this retreat – it is simply time and space to work on scholarship. There is no cost to you for this retreat — The Center for Teaching and Learning will cover room and board (and WiFi). We ask that you commit to being present on all three days of the event. Our time begins at 5:00 pm on Sunday May 14th and ends at 3:00 pm on Tuesday May 16th. Space is limited to 18 full-time faculty members.
To find out more about the Jessica Nathanson Scholarly Writing Retreat and to complete a registration form, click the link below. If you have any other questions, please contact CTL at ctl@augsburg.edu.

From where people drive, to what they buy, to where they live, nearly everything in life is connected to the ever-collected, extremely valuable information that is gathered and interpreted through data science.
But beyond giving businesses clues about when a family is ready to replace a refrigerator or take a trip to the Grand Canyon, data science can also be used in ways that bring equity and justice to underserved and marginalized communities.
In this article from Augsburg Now magazine, hear from students Ridwan Abdi ’24, Ly Xiong ’24, DijonĂ« Mehmeti ’24, and Professor John Zobitz about how Augsburg’s new data science major draws in students with a wide range of interests in identifying and finding solutions to societal challenges and inequities.

Having an option (or two) for backups is essential to ensure that you don’t lose your hard work if your hard drive fails, you lose your device, have your device stolen, or get a malware infection that takes your files hostage.
Below we will provide some options for backing up files. Please feel free to contact your LFC or IDT at any time for further support with any of these options
Back up to Google Drive. All faculty, staff, and students are provided with Google Drive associated with their Augsburg email address. In general, using this as a tool when creating and working on files instead of working and saving directly from the desktop works very well. The files will save to the drive automatically and can be accessed through any device (personal computer, phone, instructor computer in the classroom, etc.)
Download Drive for desktop here: https://www.google.com/drive/download/
Use Facstaff and Orgs for file storage. Refer to the weekly eLearning update for more information on how to set this up, or make an appointment with your LFC to set up this option.
Make use of other external devices, such as an external hard drive or flash drive. Refer to the eLearning update for more information.
NOTE: this is a *condensed* version of the weekly update we email directly to all faculty.
For additional support, contact your LFC or IDT (Instructional Design Technologist).
