The Impact of COVID on Faculty

submitted by greenj@augsburg.edu

Please join Ellie Olson, Director of Augsburg’s Center for Wellness and Counseling, for her session “Preparing to Be Back in the Classroom: the Impact of COVID on Faculty” this Tuesday, August 31st from 3-4pm on campus in the Marshall Room (Christensen Center). Despite our desire to return to campus with a sense of comfort and predictability, the semester ahead seems likely to be one of continuing challenge and transition. But we HAVE learned some things from the past eighteen months that we can use to our advantage as we approach the coming year. This session will create space for faculty to name and reflect on the emotional and cognitive impact COVID has had on them, with guidance on how to manage and respond to that impact as you enter the classroom again. The target audience for this session is teaching faculty and staff, but the session is open to all.

This session is part of the Faculty Development Committee’s “Promoting Faculty Balance” Series

Thursday, Forum Webinar, Using Innovative Simulation Strategies to Dismantle Systemic Racism

submitted by gocmen@augsburg.edu

When: August 19, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST
Presenters: Samreen Vora, Children’s Minnesota  |  Brittany Dahlen, Children’s Minnesota
Cost: Free

Register at: https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/webinars/using-innovative-simulation-strategies-to-dismantle-systemic-racism/

Many organizations are flocking to implement implicit bias training and other activities to bring to light the structural racism present in our organizations. Although implicit bias training is the first step in creating awareness, it is important to get to the next step of behavior change. Implementation of bias mitigation strategies can be challenging to achieve. Simulation-Based Training (SBT) can be the bridge between creating awareness and moving to action.
This session will delve into SBT and opportunities for partnering with equity and inclusion training to promote health equity. The webinar will discuss how deliberate practice of both recognition of bias and implementation of strategies to mitigate bias can be integrated into implicit bias training. Real examples of the partnership between SBT and equity and inclusion training will be provided and participants will have an opportunity to begin developing facilitation skills for leading SBT deliberate practice conversations

Learning Outcomes
Describe the simulation strategies applicable to promoting health equity
Integrate implicit bias mitigation strategies into simulations
Apply equity and inclusion facilitation skills to simulation facilitation

First Two Faculty Members Hired in the Department of Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies

submitted by haalandr@augsburg.edu

It is with great excitement that we announce the first two faculty hired in the department of Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Monica Lugo-Velez and Dr. Ly Nguyen as founding faculty of CRES and new members of the Augsburg community. Each is committed to our mission and ready for the challenge of building our Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies department. Each looks forward to working with faculty, departments and students across campus to construct a program that reflects Augsburg’s vision for CRES. Dr. Lugo-Velez holds the Ph.D. in Spanish Literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and comes to us from Eastern Illinois University. Dr. Nguyen completed her Ph.D. this past spring and comes to us from the Ethnic Studies department at the University of California, San Diego. Together, they bring a well-rounded set of experiences and passion for the promise of Augsburg’s new program.

I would like to thank the CRES search team for their extraordinary hard work that brought us to this point. The team was unique in many ways, not the least of which was the number of students engaged in every step of the process. Additionally, we would like to thank all the students, staff, and faculty that attended virtual campus interview events and provided feedback. Your input in the process was invaluable. As we move forward with next steps, we will communicate our progress to a broader audience. At the beginning of the new academic year, we will relaunch the Black/Africana studies search and plan to engage our new CRES faculty, as well as the rest of our campus, in that process.

Tomorrow, Forum Webinar, A Psychologically Safe Workplace is the New Normal

submitted by gocmen@augsburg.edu

When: June 17, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm central
Presenters: Jesse Bridges, EVERFI  |  Erin McClintock, EVERFI

2020 brought with it an international a pandemic, a financial crisis, a polarizing presidential election, and an acute and overdue focus on racial and structural inequities. The effects still ripple in 2021, with one being a renewed energy and focus to create safe and healthy work environments, for all. This requires not only enduring conversations about workplace equity, but also “lifting up the hood” and exploring where employees’ ability to flourish, connect and contribute without fear of retribution may be hindered. In this podcast, speakers will discuss the connections between psychological safety, well-being, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Learning Outcomes
Identify actionable strategies for promoting psychological safety in the workplace
Apply the eight (8) dimensions of wellness in the workplace
Use an organizational diagnostic to assess equitable wellness
