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

Dr. Michael Wentzel (Chemistry) received a new grant award of nearly $15,000 from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Toxicity Reduction program. In the two-year project, green chemistry will be developed as a unifying theme throughout the chemistry curriculum at Augsburg University. Non-major courses will have a new introduction component to green chemistry emphasized in unique laboratory experiments. The chemistry major curriculum already has a large number of green chemistry principles woven in it, but this work will unify these into a clear message across multiple courses. Finally, a new course on green chemistry and toxicology will serve as a capstone on this theme. Dr. Wentzel will collaborate with multiple faculty in the Chemistry department, as well as undergraduate students, in order to carry out this impactful project.

uAchieve: Degree Audit Q & A Facilitated by Christine Berkenpas and Hope Blatchley
This session is a follow-up Q & A to the uAchieve degree audit training video series posted on the Community Moodle website. We want to ensure that department chairs (and others) have received answers to all of their questions about the degree audit and the vetting process. The June 15, 2021, deadline for providing feedback to the encoders is quickly approaching. The next deadline of July 15, 2021, will also come quickly–the department chairs signing off on their department’s degree audits.
This Q & A session will primarily benefit people who have already watched the 15 self-paced training videos. If you have not already watched this series, totaling 2 ½ hours, we encourage you to schedule two or three blocks of time for yourself to watch the videos prior to the Q & A session. Perhaps you can use some of the open time periods during the 3 Days in May. We are so excited for you to now have access to this long-awaited tool!
If you need any disability-related accommodation to fully participate in this event, please contact University Events at events@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1104. Please allow for sufficient time to arrange the accommodation.
