Jandamarra is a legend of the Bunuba people. He led one of the longest and most successful campaigns to defend Aboriginal country in Australian history before being gunned down while still in his twenties.
This is his story, as told by Steve Hawke and developed from the stories of the Bunuba people and from the book, Jandamarra and the Bunuba Resistance by Howard Pedersen and Banjo Woorunmurra. Following his journey into manhood and his attempts to escape his family and culture before becoming a leader for his people, Jandamarra seamlessly combines traditional storytelling, dance and song in a culturally illuminating, emotionally stirring and linguistically captivating reimagining of his story.
From child to a mystic resistance leader, Steve Hawke has written a superb portrayal of the famous Aboriginal rebellion leader and his spiritual awakening. Jandamarra is a work integral to understanding Australian history and the conflicts that have shaped our national identity.

I just really love GPCRs. #science #stemlife #education #ouid #ouidtok #greenscreensticker #fyp #gpcr
♬ dear katara – L.Dre
The human body is truly a miraculous feat. It comes packed with an endless amount of features. Each of these features carry their own set of unique traits, and implications for the rest of the body. One of the most interesting of these are our receptors! And there are so many to choose from!
The receptors in our body can be broken down into four general categories. These are in reference to the types of stimulus that incite a reaction from the receptors. There are chemoreceptors, Thermoreceptors, Mechanoreceptors, and Photoreceptors. Read on below to learn more about these, and why GPCRs are some of the most popular in this area!
Types Of Receptors
As stated, there are a few different kinds of receptors that the body harbors. Each have their own unique set of traits that are quite interesting to explore! For example, as the name implies, Thermoreceptors react to fluctuations of temperature.
Mechanoreceptors, on the other hand, react to environmental changes, i.e., motion. Photoreceptors are incited when light impacts sight. Last but not least, there’s chemoreceptors. These refer to when chemicals are introduced to the body. With that said, let’s take a look at what Riley says is the most intriguing receptor in cannabis.
Riley’s Favorite Receptor
Of all of the receptors relative to cannabis, Riley places on one in particular. These are called GPCRs. Why are they so high on her list? The answer is simple, really. As Riley puts it, it’s “because they make so much sense!”
A GPCR is a “7TM receptor”. The TM refers to its classification as a transmembrane receptor. That means that it’s a “protein that spans the plasma membrane of a cell. The extracellular domain of the protein [has] the ability to bind to a ligand.” So how does this apply to cannabis?
How GCPRs Work
Remember that 7 before the transmembrane classification? This is by no means a coincidence. After the ligand binds, the GPCR travels through the membrane a total of seven times. This “is an odd number, so that the ligand binds to the outside of the cell, but then causes a change on the inside of the cell.”
This process leads to the kind of activation we’re looking for. “That change is going to cause the GDP associated with the G protein to leave. GTP is going to come along, and then a cascade of second messengers will take it from there.” Confused yet? It’s okay! That’s what AV8 and Riley are here for! To guide you through your cannabis journey, with the goal being to keep you as informed as possible!
Hemp & Arbor Vita 8
GPCRs are one of countless aspects of cannabis. Hemp in particular is one of the most versatile products of the revered plant. Do you have any further questions? Are you a farmer, processor, etc., interested in breaking into the industry, but don’t know where to start? You’ve come to the right place!

Clip Transcript
Riley Dee:
Okay. I’m biased, I’ll admit it. GPCRs are my favorite kind of receptor, because they make so much sense. And I’m going to explain why. So another word to describe a GPCR is a seven trans membrane receptor, or seven TM receptor. And if you look at the lock in this picture, that is where the ligand’s going to bind. But then the receptor goes through the membrane seven times. That is not a random number. It is an odd number, so that the ligand binds to the outside of the cell, but then causes a change on the inside of the cell.
So if we’re looking at CB1 receptor and our ligand is THC, it’ll bind, unlock that lock, and then the receptor will literally change confirmations, meaning it’s activated. That change is going to cause the GDP associated with the G protein to leave. GTP is going to come along, and then a cascade of second messengers will take it from there. It’s absolutely incredible.

"Adult Swim Singles" has teamed with death metal progenitors OBITUARY for the 47th installment of the current program. "A Dying World" is the first new song from the massively influential quintet since its self-titled tenth album's release by Relapse Records. The standalone new single couples its infectious main riff with a ferocious dose of hardcore punk intensity that drops a brick on the accelerator and never lets up.
OBITUARY will embark on a North American headlining tour in the fall. Support on the 24-date trek will come from ABBATH, MIDNIGHT and DEVIL MASTER. The tour will kick off on September 27 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and end on October 25 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Last December, OBITUARY bassist Terry Butler told Mammoth Metal TV that the band had "some riffs kicking around" for the follow-up to 2017's "Obituary" album. He said: "You've gotta keep it going. You can't take six or seven years between albums; we're not KISS or IRON MAIDEN or whatever. People still wanna hear new music. Even though you don't sell a lot of records anymore, they still wanna hear new music. So, yeah, we've got some stuff in the works."
He continued: "When you boil it down, at this stage of the game for us, it's definitely a business. I mean, we love playing music and we love playing for people, for crowds, but it's a business. So you've gotta the engine running; you've gotta tour — that's where the money is at these days."
OBITUARY's second Relapse release — the aforementioned self-titled tenth studio album — came out in March 2017.

Stock exchange filings to be only in machine-readable, searchable format
January 28, 2018 by neha
Mumbai: Leading bourses NSE and BSE have asked all listed companies to ensure that all their disclosures are filed in machine-readable and searchable format only.
Noting that there have been many instances where corporate announcements have not been submitted in the desired format, the exchanges in separate circulars said they have been directed by the Sebi to advise all listed companies to submit details in machine-readable and searchable form.
“All listed companies are required to submit all the corporate announcements to the exchange in a machine readable and searchable form in addition to what is being provided currently by companies,” NSE said in a circular.
“Companies are directed to strictly adhere to the requirement for all corporate announcements filed hereafter,” the exchange added.
Similarly, in a circular BSE said, “it has been observed that PDF documents, filed by companies on the listing centre, as corporate announcements, are not machine readable or searchable.”
“This causes considerable hardships to the investors at large and also regulators for searching the company filings using the relevant keywords for various purposes,” it added.
As per Sebi norms, listed companies are required to file the reports, statements, documents, filings and any other information with the recognised stock exchange on the electronic platform.
Accordingly, NSE and the BSE have provided electronic platform for listed companies to file documents.
“Image files, whcih are being submitted as attachments, will not be accepted and only searchable PDF files should be attached going forward,” the BSE said.

Both north and south of the border, Sinn Féin is once again showing that it is the only one of the main parties in Ireland that takes a sincere interest in the welfare of the masses.
We reported in our last issue that Sinn Féin had endorsed a new welfare bill for the north of Ireland, which, although enshrining a large part of the cuts agenda demanded by the British government in Westminster, included some vital protections that had been demanded by Sinn Féin and pushed through after extended negotiations.
The protected categories that it was finally agreed would not suffer as a result of changes to the benefits system were: families with children, children with disabilities, adults with severe disabilities and the long-term sick. That is, Sinn Féin demanded protection for those least able to protect themselves or to find any other source of support.
Both current and future claimants in these categories were included in the agreement, and it was further agreed that a fund would be set aside to meet the cost of refusing to implement the proposed draconian benefit cuts – cuts that have already been rolled out in Britain.
DUP subversion
Although they have received much criticism for agreeing to any cuts in benefits and services, it is notable that Sinn Féin are the only party participating in government in either Britain or Ireland that has even tried to stand up against austerity in any meaningful way.
Sadly, the agreement they signed in good faith with the other parties of the north’s power-sharing assembly turned out not to be worth the paper it was written on.
In February, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP – the north’s largest unionist party) backtracked on the agreement, on the excuse that it was ‘too complicated’ and ‘too expensive’. In a new dossier sent to Sinn Féin by civil servants at the Department for Social Development (DSD, a ministry run by the DUP), it declared that it would be affordable to offer only partial protections covering only existing claimants.
Moreover, documents were included with the new proposals that indicated that the DUP had never intended to go along with the welfare agreement and had been acting in bad faith all along.
Some costings (relating to the funding needed to protect the severely disabled from benefit cuts) had been declared ‘unknowable’ in December, but were included in February in such a way as to make it clear that they had been known all along and simply withheld from Sinn Féin during the bill’s negotiations. Evidently, the staff at the DSD thought that Sinn Féin had seen the figures already, and were unaware that their DUP bosses had been hiding them in order to deflate the amount settled on for a final fund. The fund that had been agreed, which was believed at the time to be enough to provide complete protection from benefit cuts to all current and future claimants in all the specified categories will therefore be too small to do the job it has been designed for.
A principled stand
On first receiving the DUP’s new proposal, Sinn Féin sent an email to the DUP on 23 February stating its position: “On the back of our conversation today, just to reiterate, Sinn Féin agreed to a package on the basis that it was for current and future [claimants] and that the figures presented was for full loss of benefits.”
On receiving a second version of the new proposal, which remained the same in all essential elements, Sinn Féin again emailed the DUP’s advisor Stephen Brimstone: “Sinn Féin agreed a package on the basis that it was for existing and future claimants and for the full and not partial loss of benefit. Just to reiterate, any movement away from this will not be agreed by Sinn Féin.”
In an attempt to resolve the issue, Sinn Féin entered into new face-to-face negotations with the DUP. Martin McGuinness led a Sinn Féin delegation that met four times with DUP leader Peter Robinson in the space of two days.
Another meeting was scheduled for the next day, 6 March. Comrade McGuinness travelled to Belfast from his party’s Ard Fheis (annual conference) in Derry in order to attend, but the DUP leader did not show up, either on the appointed day or over the weekend of 7/8 March, although he knew that McGuinness was waiting for him to do so.
Sinn Féin was left with no alternative but to lodge a petition of concern to the assembly and to withdraw its support from the welfare bill. In its statement, the republican party stated baldly:
“If the DUP want to strip benefits from children with disabilities, from adults with severe disabilities, the long-term sick, or push children further into poverty, then they need to explain and justify that. Sinn Féin certainly will not accept that approach.
“Until such times as the minister can produce a scheme for agreement which gives effect to the intent of the Stormont House Agreement by providing full protection for current and future claimants, Sinn Féin will not be in a position to support the welfare bill going through the assembly.
“The DUP have attempted to effect Tory welfare cuts by subterfuge but at the heart of this crisis is the ideologically driven attack on the welfare state by the Tory-led government in London.
“Sinn Féin will not be part of any agenda that punishes the most vulnerable in our society.” ('Murphy sets out Sinn Féin dossier on welfare' and 'Welfare – the facts' by Conor Murphy, sinnfein.ie, 11 March 2015)
No to austerity in the south
Meanwhile, in his presidential address to the party’s Ard Fheis in Derry, Gerry Adams also set out the party’s progressive agenda for the south, ahead of the pending general election there.
He listed various anti-austerity measures such as using the country’s wealth “to fund social equality”, saying: “That means that in government Sinn Féin will abolish water charges. We will scrap the property tax. Sinn Féin will introduce a wealth tax. We will bring in a third rate of income tax for those individuals earning over one hundred thousand euro; that’s seven cents on every euro over one hundred thousand euro. And Sinn Féin will take a further two hundred thousand people out of the Universal Social Charge.”
Speaking of those living away from the cities, Adams declared that “Rural Ireland needs a new deal. A new deal that will create and retain jobs in rural communities, protect rural schools and services, ensure access to health services and maximise support for hard pressed Gaeltacht [the Irish-speaking area in the west of the country] and island communities.
“That’s the thing about rights. You have rights no matter where you live. These have to include the right to a health service, to an education system, to quality child care, to a home, to a job, to a clean environment and to civil and religious liberties.
“Sinn Féin will invest in local-authority housing and introduce rent controls to help stem the rising tide of homelessness. Families in mortgage distress need to be able to remain in the family home. Last year, Sinn Féin introduced legislation to curb repossessions and to give other protections to families in mortgage distress. The government rejected our proposals.
“Instead, they gave the banks a veto. Sinn Féin will end that veto.”
Clearly accepting the Syriza ‘third way’ (ie, between capitalism and socialism) line on finding solutions to the economic woes of the Irish people, Adams declared the need to “work with others across the EU to find a sustainable long-term solution to the Eurozone debt crisis”, saying that it had taken “the government of Greece to break the conservative pretence that austerity is the only way” and talking of the need for a “sustainable” and “equitable” recovery.
He also called for an economy that “serves the people” and a system of “fair and progressive taxation” in which “everyone pays their fair share”.
Comrade Adams finished his speech by promising his party and the Irish people that it would not accept a position as a junior member in an Irish austerity government of big business: “Sinn Féin will not prop up either a Fine Gael or a Fianna Fáil government. Sinn Féin wants to lead the next government. I am confident that when it comes to making a choice, the people will make the change. The future hasn’t been written yet. Let’s write it together. Let’s make it happen!” ('Ard Fheis 2015', sinnfein.ie, March 2015)
While Marxists will not be able to endorse Comrade Gerry’s hopes for a non-revolutionary way out of the global capitalist crisis of overproduction, they should nevertheless be very happy to see the sincere and principled stand his party continues to take on questions of the reunification of Ireland and opposing cuts, privatisations and other austerity measures. Unlike many small parties that have grown bigger, getting closer to the corridors of power does not appear to have induced Sinn Féin to throw its principles out of the window in return for a few cushy jobs and ministerial pensions.
Quite the reverse. At every turn, the plans of the ruling élites, both north and south of the border, are being frustrated by the principled resistance of the progressive Irish masses, with Sinn Féin’s seasoned, republican leadership at their head. One can see, after all, what a national-liberation struggle is good for!

On 10 April 2008, historic elections for a new constituent assembly (CA) took place in Nepal. Having successfully combined a people’s war in the countryside with trade-union and mass-movement work in urban areas, giving outstanding leadership to, and directing the anti-feudal aspirations of, the downtrodden masses of rural and urban poor and successfully bringing the despotic monarchy to the brink of ruin, it was clear to all that the comrades of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) stood poised to do very well in these elections.
Given the secessionist sentiments being stirred up and the dirty tricks being played by the old guard from the palace, the royalist army, the comprador sections of the Nepali bourgeoisie and their backers in the US, Britain and India, however, it came as a shock to many just how many seats the Maoists were able to win.
Masses vote for ‘New Nepal’
Not only did they take half of the directly-elected seats and a third of the proportional ones, but, through their tactic of forming tactical alliances with the main ‘democratic’ parties, the Maoists successfully decimated support for their two main electoral rivals, the thoroughly bourgeois Nepali Congress (NC) and the revisionist Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist Leninist) (UML).
In a country racked with poverty and unemployment, where many people live in remote mountainous areas with little transport and very few roads, and where the literacy rate is just 54 percent, it is notable that 60 percent of those eligible turned out to cast votes, many queuing for hours before the polls opened – the kind of enthusiasm for an election that British bourgeois parties can only dream about!
This was in spite of an ongoing campaign of intimidation and sabotage by vicious imperialist-backed feudal and comprador elements, who have made it clear that they do not intend to retire gracefully from the stage of their erstwhile tyrannies.
The slogan under which the Maoists fought the election, “New thought and new leadership for a new Nepal”, succinctly expressed their party’s revolutionary programme. Asked to elucidate the programme behind this slogan, Comrade Dr Baburam Bhattai, a senior member of the CPN(M)’s politburo, explained as follows:
“[B]y New Nepal, what we mean is, first, politically, we want to dismantle all the feudal political, economic, social and cultural relations. That will be one aspect of New Nepal.
“The other aspect of New Nepal will be making drastic socioeconomic transformation in a progressive way. The one is destruction of the old, the other will be construction of the new ... our basic focus will be on economic activities: the transforming of the agricultural sector, and the developing of productive forces, industrial relations, so that the workers and the youth will be provided employment.
“And that will create a basis for going forward to socialism. Our economic slogan that we gave was ‘New transitional economic policy’. That means industrial capitalism – oriented towards socialism.” (Quoted in ‘The next step in Nepal’, interview by Stephen Mikesell and Mary Des Chene, mrzine.monthlyreview.org, 10 May 2008)
With a total of 37 percent of the total seats in the new assembly, the CPN(M) has emerged as by far the largest party, so that its much-revered leader, Comrade Prachanda, until recently the country’s most wanted rebel, is now the country’s undisputed senior political figure and de facto President-elect.
Although the Maoists do not have the majority required to easily dictate business there, they do have the power of veto over all decisions, since a two-thirds majority is required for any measure to be passed by the CA.
Out of a total of 601 seats, the CPN(M) has won 220, double the number of the party with the next-largest share, with 110 going to the Nepali Congress and 103 to the CPN(UML). The two main secessionist parties, Madhesi Jana Adhikar Forum, Nepal and the Tarai-Madhesh Loktantrik Party, both of which have received much coverage in the imperialist media, won 52 and 20 seats respectively, with a further 20 parties each winning between 1 and 9 seats.
Thus it is with perfect legitimacy that the CPN(M) has claimed the right to form and lead a coalition government with whoever is prepared to cooperate in that endeavour.
Opposition implosion
Having assumed that they would continue as the largest parties in government, the two main opposition parties are now expressing ‘regrets’ regarding the alliance they and five other parties entered into with the Maoists two years ago in response to the rising anti-monarchy movement.
Forgetting that they had no option but to join the anti-feudal alliance if they wanted to retain any credibility in the eyes of a highly-politicised population, they are now tearing themselves apart with bitter internal recriminations and feuding.
In an article for The Red Star magazine in Nepal, the author points out that this infighting is speeding the two parties towards their own dissolution.
“Severe crisis in the leadership, serious disillusionment with their party policies and programmes, deepening dissatisfaction and frustration within the establishment parties have now come to light.
“The monarchy that ruled Nepal for 250 years is going and the pro-royalist forces have been washed away. Following the same path, the so-called big parties who claimed to be leaders of democracy seem to be liquidating. After their defeat, the Nepali Congress and the CPN UML are facing a crisis of leadership and severe internal contradictions.
“The Nepali Congress, the party that claims to be a champion of democracy, always served the monarchy. After the reintroduction of multiparty democracy in 1990, the Nepali Congress ruled the country and the life of the Nepali people deteriorated.” (‘NC and UML face liquidation’, 16 May 2008)
Having previously treated the party as its private property, the article explains, former prime minister Koirala’s faction has been decimated by the election results, but his supporters are unwilling to accept defeat and hand over control of the organisation.
Meanwhile, the rising faction of Sher Bahadur Deuba is rumoured now to be preferred by the US, and there is much dissatisfaction within the party, with at least one prominent leader resigning.
Meanwhile, the CPN(UML), which before the election had high hopes of becoming the largest party in the assembly and leading the new government, having had its hopes dashed, has fallen prey to similar infighting.
Having arrogantly rejected a proposed electoral alliance with the CPN(M), the UML was shocked when it failed to secure even one of the 10 Kathmandu district seats, which had previously been considered by all as being the party’s stronghold.
But the biggest shock to the party was the defeat of its general secretary, Madhav Kumar Nepal, at the hands of the CPN(M)’s relatively unknown Jhakku Prasad Subedi. Following his defeat, M K Nepal submitted his resignation from the post he has held for more than 15 years, and now appears to have retired altogether from political life.
Meanwhile, various factions within the party are trying to capture power, each blaming the other for their disastrous showing at the polls. Several more important leadership figures have resigned, with a further 14 more registering their dissent, and it is reported that some party members are now suggesting that the party should drop its pretentions to communism and change its name and policies accordingly.
If the UML does indeed follow such a course, it will be a straightforward recognition of the fact that as a ‘left’ force the party has been utterly exposed and sidelined, and that its only chance of making some kind of recovery must now be at the expense not of the CPN(M) (the constituency it previously based itself in), but of the Nepali Congress. That is, it will have effectively given up trying to appeal to the poorest workers and peasants and will try instead to attract the support of the middle and upper classes.
Resistance from the streets
Speaking in an interview with two American anthropologists about the challenges the party currently faces in trying to build and lead a new government, Dr Bhattarai put the party’s short-term goals into context:
“First we want to do away with feudalism and the monarchy. Then the contention between bourgeois forces and the proletarian left forces will be sharpened in the days to come.
“In fact, we have prepared ourselves for that. In case they don’t allow us to assume the leadership and implement progressive measures, then we’ll resist. Our main weapon will be to mobilise the masses ...
“We’ll try to intervene maximally from within the state. We’ll try to lead the state. We’ll try to implement progressive programmes. But we know there’ll be a lot of resistance. To counter that, we have to mobilise and organise the masses.
“We have already given instructions to the party, to the lower levels, that they should organise themselves and instruct the masses. At any time they may have to come to the street and resist.” (Quoted in mrzine interview, op cit)
Role of the youth
One factor that has been decisive over the last two years has been the Maoists’’ ability to mobilise the youth of Nepal. So successful has this been that there are now cries from the other large parties, echoed throughout the imperialist media, that the Young Communist League (YCL) has been guilty of ‘intimidation’ and must be disbanded.
In the interview cited above, however, Dr Bhattarai put quite another light on the matter:
“The reactionaries are very frightened of the YCL. They are right in [one] sense, because, though it is not true that they are using force, illegally or otherwise, it is a very dedicated political force.
“During the election and earlier they played a very important role in organising the masses and resisting the intimidating tactics of the reactionary classes. All these years, the reactionary classes have been intimidating the poor masses of the people, not letting them vote, you see ... this time the YCL resisted that ... the YCL didn’t intimidate, but [it] prevented the intimidation practised by the reactionary classes ...
“[I]n the days to come, one of the functions of the YCL will be to resist any reactionary onslaught of the feudal, and monarchist, and the reactionary classes and to defend the masses of the people. The second part will be to mobilise and engage themselves in production activities and providing relief to the masses of the people.”
No wonder the opposition parties are bringing every possible pressure to bear in an attempt to suppress the newly-found confidence of the young revolutionary generation. The sight of the previously docile peasantry finally standing up for itself in a truly revolutionary and organised way has clearly put the fear of god into its former masters!
Opposition demands
In fact, not only the thoroughly bourgeois NC, but also the ostensibly ‘progressive’ UML have made the disbandment of the YCL (which they term a ‘paramilitary’ organisation) a precondition to their supporting a coalition government led by the Maoists.
Other conditions include the disbanding of the People’s Liberation Army, the people’s court and all parallel state structures that have been set up in liberated areas during the course of the People’s War, as well as the surrender or destruction of arms and the return of seized property to its ‘rightful’ owners.
These demands, outrageous in the context of a clear mandate of support for the Maoists’ programme of land redistribution and People’s War, have been amplified by internal and external bourgeois and imperialist media, with plenty of commentators who never had a word to say about the daily violence meted out to Nepal’s superexploited masses indulging in much shaking of heads over the ‘violence’ of the revolutionary forces, quietly ignoring the fact that the PLA has kept rigidly to the terms of the ceasefire agreed two years ago and confined its forces to specified cantonments.
The two main opposition parties, after more than two weeks of continuous deliberations by their respective central committees, have now announced that they are not prepared to join a Maoist-led government and that the conditions enumerated above must be met before they will give support to Maoist-proposed measures – or even, in the case of the Nepali Congress, hand over the reins of power in the first place.
Speaking of these conditions, and of the YCL in particular, Comrade Bhattarai stated:
“[T]here is no chance of considering such a stupid and reactionary line. The YCL will defend the masses of the people. If they [the NC and UML parties] don’t want to, let them not join.
“We say, if you want to join a government, then join. We will lead the government as part of a coalition. If they are not ready for that, being the single largest party, we will form the government. If they don’t allow that, then we’ll go to the masses of the people and bring out another movement.
“Those are the three choices we have. But we won’t compromise on basic issues. No. Because people want change, they have given us a mandate for change. If the reactionary forces don’t allow us to put this mandate into practice, then we will go to the masses of the people, rather than succumbing to the pressure of the reactionaries.”
Meanwhile, YCL chairman Ganesh Man Pun told a mass rally in Kathmandu: “People have approved the YCL thought their votes. It will be dissolved once communism is achieved.” (Quoted in ‘Dedication to the nation!’ The Red Star, 16 May 2008)
Reinforcing the image of the CPN(M) as the party of the young generation, 10 YCL leaders were elected to the assembly, and a majority of the Maoists’ elected members are under the age of 40.
Emphasising the need to remain vigilant, the CPN(M)’s International Bureau leader Comrade Gajurel told an interviewer that “this is not the final victory and it doesn’t mean we don’t have any more challenges. We still have big challenges. In spite of our victory, the other parties are not ready to hand over power ...
“[S]ome parties didn’t want the Maoist to be the single largest party; they didn’t want the Maoists to be victorious in the election. They are still trying to create hurdles, firstly on the formation of a government, and secondly, if the government is formed, they will try to create problems so that the Maoist government cannot run smoothly. Because of the scarcity of things, goods and materials, there will be discontent among the masses and the Maoists will not be able to run the government well.
“These are challenges before us. But ... we have the support of the masses of Nepal and of billions of people around the world. We are confident that we will be able to meet these challenges.” (‘No compromise in ideology and politics’, The Red Star, 16 May 2008)
World’s newest republic
The first session of the new constituent assembly met on 28 May 2008. At this session, the historic decision was made to abolish the monarchy and to establish Nepal as “an independent, indivisible, sovereign, secular and an inclusive democratic republic nation”, thereby bringing 240 years of regal despotism to a close.
Only four members of the 601-seat assembly opposed the change. The deposed king has been instructed to vacate the royal palace within two weeks.
The monarchy was so deeply unpopular that the announcement of the republic prompted wild celebrations in the streets of Kathmandu. These celebrations were very much encouraged by the CPN(M), not only because the declaration marks a historic victory for the Nepalese revolution, but also because the Maoist leadership is well aware that direct pressure from the masses will be required to make sure the decision to abolish the monarchy is actually seen through.
The Nepalese people understand that the abolition of the monarchy represents an important first step on the road to democracy, prosperity and socialism, and their presence on the streets is a reminder to the king and his supporters that if they do not now choose to accept the will of the people, they will be forced to submit by pressure from below.
Revolutionary programme
Elucidating the main problems to be solved following the establishment of a republic, Comrade Gajurel pointed out:
“The question of livelihood and overall development of the society is very important because there is severe poverty in the society. We have to meet the necessity and basic requirements of the masses ... the bourgeois will definitely try to sabotage this process; the class that has been defeated will try to return to power. They will create problems wherever they can ...”
A pivotal role is being played by the YCL in all this, who are already mobilising their members to implement programmes of road-building, distribution of drinking water, traffic management, youth awareness, and controlling crime, especially fraud, against the people.
Despite the best efforts of the opposition parties, the Maoists have made it clear that they intend to push ahead with the economic and agrarian reforms that the Nepali masses have fought and voted for. Whilst warning of the very real threat of counterrevolution and preparing the people to meet it, the party has not shifted from its plans to implement their programme of land redistribution and rapid, planned industrialisation.
The following words of Comrade Bhattarai, written 10 years ago in the early days of the People’s War, still reflect precisely the vision and aims of the Maoists in government:
“It has become a historical necessity to establish a new kind of socialism-oriented capitalist, or New Democratic, system of production by destroying the old semi-feudal mode of production chained to imperialism and expansionism ... The People’s War is the inevitable instrument of this historic New Democratic revolutionary transformation. The People’s War waged under the leadership of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and with the joint participation of all the progressive classes of society is aimed at building a New Democratic base after destroying the base of the old semi-feudal and semi-colonial society and ultimately at creating a classless and exploitationless society.”
“[T]he main policy of the revolution would be to confiscate the means of production that have been in the hands of the reactionary classes, mainly land which was in the hands of the comprador and bureaucratic capitalist classes, and then to hand them over to the progressive forces (ie, workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie) and to organise the mode of production in a new way. It is only by unleashing the revolutionary initiatives of the majority of the working and progressive masses that revolutionary transformation of a backward economy like that of Nepal would be possible. That is why it can be said that the slogan ‘Grasp revolution, promote production’ advanced by the great Mao would be relevant to Nepal as well.” (‘Politico-economic rationale of people’s war in Nepal’ by Baburam Bhattarai, The Worker, Nepal, 4 May 1998)
The main points of the Maoist programme are summed up below.
- The provision of a public distribution system, a network of cooperative stores, for immediate relief of the poorest unemployed and food insecure families, families of martyrs and of the disappeared.
- Upholding of the fundamental rights of the people through the provision of education, health care and employment provision, and the guarantee of shelter and food security.
- Facilitation and encouragement of the participation of the masses in the process of economic and agrarian reform. The Maoists have stated that they will rely on the masses to keep the government in line and are already mobilising and educating them for this role. To this end, a part of the party’s leadership is remaining outside the government so as to be able to provide extra-governmental leadership.
- The ‘urbanisation of the countryside’ through provision in the localities of all the necessary infrastructure and amenities (industries, banks, colleges, hospitals, electricity, motorable roads etc), as opposed to the current situation of ‘ruralisation of the cities’, whereby there has been an uncontrolled population expansion living in slum conditions due to mass migration of destitute peasants from the countryside.
- Seizure and redistribution of all land not currently worked by its owners (ie, the big landlords’ estates), combined with the cancellation of all labour services, usurious interest payments etc, and provision of irrigation, seeds, pesticides, machines, implements, credit etc to enable small farmers to increase production.
- Establishment of cooperatives to help poor peasants to join together to increase productivity and enable them to compete in the marketplace, as well as to prevent their plots being swallowed up again by a few remaining/emerging capitalist farmers.
- Creation of an adequate internal market for the products of industry by enriching the peasant masses.
- The ushering in of capitalist relations through complete destruction of all feudal, semi-feudal and bureaucratic capitalist (ie, comprador) relations currently prevailing in agriculture, thus providing the basis for an accumulation of capital that can be used to build the country’s industry.
- Facilitation of planned, rapid industrialisation, with the aim of increasing general social production and productivity of labour, providing jobs for the unemployed and underemployed peasants, preventing the flight out of the country of national capital, catering to the higher material and cultural needs of society, and laying the groundwork for a socialist society.
- Planned development of the economy that minimises wastage and maximises ability to meet the basic needs of the mass of the population, as well as ensuring balanced development between town and country and across all the regions.
- Confiscation and bringing under state control of large sums of capital lying idle or being used for conspicuous consumption by feudal landlords.
- Protection and encouragement for small and medium-sized traders and industrialists, as well as for small numbers of national bourgeois. Special attention to be given to development and use of indigenous technology, harnessing of hydropower etc, with the aim of becoming self-reliant and building a pollution-free, sustainable industrial base.
- Solving of the problem of oppressed regions and nationalities by granting regional and national autonomy.
- Mobilisation of internal resources so that Nepal can build a self-reliant economy that is no longer at the mercy of international capital. “We are not against productive and industrial capitalism, you know, which provides goods, provides jobs, creates value within the country, and at least resists the imperialist interventions within the country. That type of national capitalism we promote. We [have] tried to convince the nationalists and traders that we’ll create a favourable environment [for them].” (Comrade Bhattarai, quoted in interview for mrzine cited above)
The programme outlined above has been dubbed one of “transitional capitalism and continuous revolution”.
According to the paper cited above, “It is only through the process of a continuous revolution that it would be possible to solve the newly emerging problems and contradictions in society at a higher plane. The process of People’s War in Nepal is a link in a chain of such a continuous revolution to solve the problems of the society. The principle objective and rationale of the People’s War in Nepal is, thus, to develop the social productive forces and create a higher form of society ...” (Ibid)
Conclusion
All the signs are that the comrades of the CPN(M) are doing an excellent job not only of mobilising the masses, but of raising their consciousness, and taking every opportunity to dispel their illusions in bourgeois parties and politics.
With such a steadfast and proven leadership, there is every reason for freedom-loving people throughout the world to be extremely optimistic about the CPN(M)’s chances of successfully steering a path through the treacherous waters of counterrevolutionary attempts, and of taking the people forward not only in destroying all vestiges of feudal backwardness, but also in building a solid economic foundation for the longed-for transition to a socialist society.

EU consumer protection and non-discrimination rules offer EU-wide protection to shoppers, whether in store or online:

EU Consumer Protection
Access to the EU’s Single Market gives consumers a wide range of products and services at competitive prices. UK citizens benefit in the following ways when shopping in the UK or the rest of the EU:
You should get what you paid for…
Goods must comply with their description, be fit for purpose and show a satisfactory quality and performance.
…otherwise you are entitled to seek redress
If you are not happy with what you paid for, you are entitled to request the seller to provide for remedies:
A repair or replacement, which should be provided free of charge, within a reasonable time and without any significant inconvenience
A reduction in price paid or a refund, if repair or replacement is impossible or disproportionate, or if there is unreasonable delay in providing one of these remedies.
Retailers are not allowed to use premium rate numbers
Protection from unfair contract terms
On anything from energy bills to phone contracts.
14 day return period for purchases
No additional VAT
You only need to pay VAT once on purchases made abroad in the EU, which is not the case when shopping outside of the EU.
Non discrimination rules
Companies are not allowed to charge EU citizens different rates for the same service just because they aren’t local.
#GetTheFacts
A large part of the EU Commission’s role is to regulate the Single Market and ensure consumers are protected. It is currently investigating Disneyland Paris for making Brits pay 40% more than the French to visit Disneyland Paris. Internet giant Amazon, ski-lift operators and hotel companies are also currently under investigation.
Completing the digital single market
The UK government and the European Commission have put forward proposals to complete the ‘digital single market’. This would expand EU consumer rights online and end practices such as ‘geo-blocking’ on digital content such as video, ebooks and games. This means you would be able to access your digital content regardless of what EU country you originally purchased it in in – no matter if you bought it from Sky, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Apple or anywhere else.

Joan Griffin, Augsburg’s director of general education, writes that an Augsburg education is an education for action. It is an education to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. It asks students to explore answers to the big questions within the context of values and beliefs that matter. At Augsburg students are challenged to discover the very best in themselves. The new Augsburg Core Curriculum, highlighted in this issue, truly gives distinction to an Augsburg education. The result of several years of thoughtful and deliberate collaboration, the new core curriculum offers a blueprint for a learning community that connects each and every element of the College’s mission with its vision. It respects and reflects the College’s heritage, including its vital role in the community, working in partnership to prepare students for responsible citizenship. Augsburg has long believed, before many other colleges around the country, that students learn best when combining their classroom learning with experience outside the classroom. In the Augsburg Core, every student is required to complete an Augsburg experience— through internships (and student teaching, practica, cooperative education, etc.), faculty-student research, service-learning, study abroad, or other off-campus immersion activities. Augsburg’s leadership role in this area has been affirmed repeatedly—most recently and importantly by the honor bestowed upon sociology professor Garry Hesser as Minnesota’s Professor of the Year, from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Hesser has also received national awards for his pioneering work in developing experiential education and continuing national presence in promoting it. Augsburg’s Center for Global Education and service-learning program have also received national and regional awards for their excellence in programs. The new Augsburg Core has good reason to make all Augsburg alumni proud of their Augsburg education. Enjoy reading about it, as well as about some important events in our campus life—Homecoming 2004, Advent Vespers 25th anniversary, and the upcoming Nobel Peace Prize Forum and Festival in February.

Augsburg moves up in college rankings Once again, U.S.News & World Report has included Augsburg in the top tier of its annual ranking of best universities, tied for 20th place—a move up from 24th place last year. The College is ranked among 142 institutions in the category “Best Midwestern Universities-Master’s” and is compared with other area colleges and universities that offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Also, The Princeton Review has once again included Augsburg among the 170 colleges named “Best in the Midwest,” based on student responses as well as on recognition by the media, other institutional leaders, and educational organizations. Augsburg was recognized for its dedication toward diversity.

Advent Vespers combines more than 300 participants from choirs, instrumental ensembles, readers, and a full liturgical party. Through the majestic celebration of music and word, the message of Christ’s coming to the world is conveyed. Augsburg’s annual advent program began in 1979 around the vision of Larry Fleming, then-director of choral activities, to offer a service of meditation and prayer as a gift to the community during the advent season. The tradition continues today under the direction of Peter Hendrickson ’76, director of choral activities, and the Rev. David Wold, College pastor and director of ministries, with active support from Augsburg College students, faculty, and staff. “With Peaceful Wings” focuses on the message of assurance that in the wings of the Savior Jesus Christ rest and comfort 4 Fall 2004 SPECIAL BROADCAST Add this special 25th anniversary Advent Vespers broadcast to your holiday plans. can be found through all good and ill. The wings of the Savior provide the strength and shelter to live in the unconditional grace of God, and the strength and comfort to know the peace of God that passes all understanding, the peace of God that keeps hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. The service provides an opportunity to reflect first on the coming of Jesus, initially announced by John the Baptist; second, on living in the promise that Christ will come again; and third, in knowing that Christ comes through people constantly and regularly, even now. To mark this special 25th anniversary, Augsburg College collaborated with Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) to produce a onehour program to be broadcast during Christmas week. The majesty of Central Lutheran Church and the intimacy of the service are captured by a multiple-camera production crew that followed the drama of the processions and recorded the splendor of the sounds from the choirs scattered through the sanctuary. The program is also offered statewide to the stations of the Minnesota Public Television Association, and nationwide, via satellite, to public broadcast services. Commemorative DVD, VHS, and CD recordings of this production will be available following the event. For more information about Advent Vespers, call 612-330-1444 or go to <www.augsburg.edu/vespers>. ■ Fall 2004 The service will be aired in Minnesota on Twin Cities Public Television: December 22, 8 p.m. on TPT2 December 23, 2 a.m. on TPT2 December 25, 10 a.m. on TPT2 and 7 p.m. on TPT17 Check local listings for broadcast times on public television stations. The 25th anniversary Advent Vespers broadcast is made possible through a major gift from the 11 Hoversten families who have supported Augsburg worship, music, and education programs for generations, and with additional support from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. TWIN CITIES PUBLIC TELEVISION 5 Sports Women’s hockey celebrates 10 years ugsburg College has played a major role in the growth of women’s hockey, one of the fastest growing sports in recent years. As the first college or university in the Midwest to sponsor the sport on the varsity level in 1995, Augsburg was a leader in sparking major interest and impacting the lives of thousands of young girls and women. This year Augsburg celebrates its 10th season of varsity women’s hockey—an achievement that speaks volumes to the College’s commitment to the sport’s growth. Over the past decade, 97 young women have donned an Augsburg uniform, for a team that has gone 131-86-13 entering this season under Jill Pohtilla, the only head coach in the program’s history. “What I’m most proud of is that, year-in and year-out, the types of individuals who play here have great character and great motivation,” Pohtilla said. “They work hard, and they care a lot about the legacy they are going to leave behind.” When Augsburg announced in February 1995 that it was going to field a varsity women’s hockey program for the 1995-96 season, there were only 15 varsity teams nationally—all on the East Coast (members of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference) and none in the Midwest. Girls’ hockey was just starting at the high school level in Minnesota—the first state to sponsor a girls’ hockey high school state championship tournament —even before it became an Olympic sport. Both location and funding made Augsburg’s situation unique. In its announcement, Augsburg was believed to be the first collegiate team to fund its women’s hockey program on a level equal with the men’s program, in terms of equipment, uniforms, ice time, training, games, publicity, and awards. A Highlights from Augsburg’s first decade include: • 1995-96—Augsburg went 16-5 in its first season against club and women’s adult teams in the Midwest, including three games on the East Coast against varsity teams. • 1997-98—Augsburg faced the University of Minnesota in the Gophers’ first varsity contest. The crowd of 6,854 in Mariucci Arena remains the largest-ever crowd for a U.S. collegiate women’s hockey game. by Don Stoner • Winter 2003—Members of the team traveled to Italy and Austria to play and win three games against local club teams. A 10th anniversary dinner and program was held in November. For more information about women’s hockey, go to <www.augsburg.edu/athletics>. Don Stoner is sports information coordinator in the Office of Public Relations and Communication. • 1998-99—Augsburg won a share of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) title, which was the first Division III conference to sponsor the sport at championship level. • 1999-2000—Augsburg won the MIAC play-off to go to the Division III national championship, where they lost the national title series to Middlebury (Vt.). • 2003-04—The playoff semifinal game against the University of St. Thomas, a 6-5 loss, was the longest women’s hockey game in conference history, a two-overtime, 96-minute, 9-second marathon. A plaza in front of Augsburg’s Ice Arena was dedicated as “JC’s Place,” in honor of James “JC” Carey, athletic facilities director for 30 years. New seating and memorial plaques honor Carey, who died of heart failure in 2003 at the age of 54.

This forum honors the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian lawyer and human rights activist who was recognized for her efforts for democracy and human rights. In cooperation with the Norwegian Nobel Institute, five Midwestern colleges of the ELCA—Augsburg College, Augustana College (Sioux Falls, S. Dak.), Concordia College (Moorhead, Minn.), Luther College (Decorah, Iowa), and St. Olaf College—host the annual Nobel Peace Prize Forum, the Norwegian Nobel Institute’s only such program or academic affiliation outside Norway. The colleges, all founded by Norwegian immigrants, sponsor the forum to give recognition to Norway’s international peace efforts and to offer opportunities for Nobel Peace Prize Fall 2004 by Betsey Norgard laureates, diplomats, scholars, students, and the general public to engage in dialogue on the dynamics of peacemaking and the underlying causes of conflict and war. The first Nobel Peace Prize Forum took place in 1989 at St. Olaf College, and rotates each year among the five ELCA colleges. Augsburg last hosted the forum in 1999, and honored Peace Prize laureates Jody Williams and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. Over the years, more than 21,000 participants have become involved in the forum, which has received an even broader audience through national and regional media coverage. The Peace Prize Forum program also includes a series of seminars and discussions of issues around the theme. Plenary speakers scheduled for the 2005 forum include: • Mary Robinson, the first woman president of Ireland and more recently United Nations high commissioner for human rights; • Davar Ardalan, a producer for National Public Radio based in Washington, D.C., who has lived in Iran under both the shah’s reign and that of the ayatollah’s; • Sima Samar, pioneer for almost 20 years in the cause for women’s rights in war-stricken Afghanistan; and • Frances Moore Lappé, author and global citizen who started a revolution in the way Americans eat. Her most recent book is You Have the Power: Choosing Courage in a Culture of Fear. For more information about the 17th annual Nobel Peace Prize Forum, go to <www.augsburg.edu/ppf> or call 612-330-1383. Children celebrate peace at the Nobel Peace Prize Festival More than 700 students from 27 Peace Site schools and youth groups across the Twin Cities will gather at the 10th annual Nobel Peace Prize Festival at Augsburg on Feb. 10. This year’s festival will honor Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The festival was first organized in 1998 as an expansion of the Nobel Peace Prize Forum and in response to the growing interest to involve children and youth of all ages. The event is designed to connect students in grades K-12 with Nobel laureates. Students study a laureate or peace theme, create a related interactive exhibit or performance of their subject, and bring it to the one-day festival. Along with the Peace Prize Forum, the festival has the endorsement of the Norwegian Nobel Institute. The 2004 festival honored Nobel laureate Jimmy Carter, who visited the J.J. Hill Montessori School in St. Paul, Minn., along with the former first lady. ■ 7 HOMECOMING 2004 TWO HONORED AS 2004 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI T wo alumni join 164 others as Distinguished Alumni of Augsburg College. Recipients are recognized for significant achievement in their vocations and outstanding contributions to church and community, through years of preparation, experience, dedication, exemplary character, and service. Brian J. Anderson ’82 Dr. Brian J. Anderson graduated from Augsburg in 1982 with a B.A. in physics, mathematics, and religion. From 1983-1987, he served as a research associate at the University of Minnesota, where in 1987 he earned a Ph.D. in physics. In 1986 he returned to Augsburg as a visiting lecturer in physics, and in 1987 as an assistant professor of physics. During his two years on the Augsburg faculty, he was instrumental in securing a grant from the National Science Foundation for the establishment of a vacuum technology laboratory for advanced physics students. In 1988, Anderson relocated to the East Coast to serve as a postdoctoral associate at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, where he is currently a senior physicist. He also supervises the magnetic fields section of the APL’s Space Physics Group, and is a member of the science team for NASA’s Messenger mission to Mercury, among others. Anderson is internationally recognized in space physics for his innovative and wide-ranging contributions to the understanding of the dynamic particle and magnetic field environment of near earth space. In addition to his duties at Johns Hopkins, Anderson also serves as president of Division III (Magnetospheric Phenomena) of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, the international scientific association that brings together space scientists worldwide for biennial scientific congresses. He recently completed service as an editor for Geophysical Research Letters, the premier international journal of earth and space sciences. He was also a member of a panel convened by the National Academy of Sciences to provide guidance over the next 10 years to all U.S. government agencies in the areas of solar and space physics. Anderson is an active member of Evangelical Lutheran Church in Frederick, Md., where he serves on the church council and on various committees. He also serves as an assisting minister in worship and is a regular participant in other congregational events. His wife, Dr. Leeann Rock, is a 1981 graduate of Augsburg. 8 by Lynn Mena Fern L. (Hanson) Gudmestad ’41 As a child growing up in Seattle, Wash., Fern L. (Hanson) Gudmestad learned about Augsburg from her uncle, the Rev. Frederick Iversen, an early 1900s graduate of Augsburg College and Seminary. Although she enrolled at the University of Washington—where she ultimately received a B.A. in art in 1941—she convinced her parents to send her to Augsburg for her sophomore year. Gudmestad’s time as a student on the Augsburg campus produced numerous lifelong bonds—particularly to one alumnus, the Rev. Lawrence Gudmestad ’39 (1983 Augsburg Distinguished Alumnus), whom she married. Three of their four children also attended the College—one graduating in 1965 and the other in 1968—as well as a daughter-in-law and a grandson, making theirs a four-generation Augsburg family. Gudmestad has remained a loyal and active alumna of the College, having served as an adviser to the College of the Third Age, as a longtime member of the Augsburg Associates, and on the committee assisting with the recent Lutheran Free Church celebration held on campus in June. In addition, she has been a regular contributor to The Augsburg Fund and a member of the president’s Maroon & Silver Society. She generously funded a pipe in Hoversten Chapel’s new organ for each of her children, and after her husband’s death in 1986 she directed memorial gifts to Augsburg. As a young woman in the 1940s and ’50s, Gudmestad answered the call to serve along with her husband during his years as a parish pastor in both Washington and North Dakota. As his partner, she managed a myriad of responsibilities, and in the 1970s and ’80s she held successive and increasingly comprehensive leadership positions in the American Lutheran Church Women (ALCW) organizations, beginning as president of her local ALCW, later as president of the ALC’s Southeast Minnesota District ALCW Board, and ultimately as president of the national ALCW. Recognized as a wise and quietly powerful woman, Gudmestad’s special combination of faith and skills in leadership continues to bring many invitations to speak at events and participate on committees and boards. Fall 2004 HOMECOMING 2004 FIRST DECADE AND SPIRIT OF AUGSBURG AWARD RECIPIENTS NAMED FOR 2004 by Lynn Mena A ugsburg is pleased to announce the 2004 recipients of the First Decade and Spirit of Augsburg awards. The First Decade Award is presented to Augsburg graduates of the past 10 years who have made significant progress in their professional achievements and contributions to the community, and in so doing exemplify the mission of the College: to prepare future leaders in service to the world. Graduates from the day, weekend, and graduate programs are eligible. The Spirit of Augsburg Award honors alumni and friends of the College who have given exceptional service that contributes substantially to the well being of Augsburg by furthering its purposes and programs. FIRST DECADE AWARD SPIRIT OF AUGSBURG AWARD Susan Arntz ’94 Arthur V. Rimmereid ’53 Susan (Horning) Arntz graduated from Augsburg in 1994 with a B.A. in political science and a minor in metrourban studies. In 1999, she earned a master’s degree in public administration from Hamline University. Despite her young age, Arntz possesses a vast amount of knowledge and leadership skills related to public affairs and government, and has utilized these for an exemplary career in public service. Following her graduation in 1994, she served as an intern to Commissioner Peter McLaughlin of Hennepin County, Minn. During that same time period, she served as assistant administrator and economic development coordinator of the City of Chaska (Minn.), and from 1998–2001 as the assistant city manager of New Brighton, Minn. Over the last several years, she has served as the city administrator of Waconia, Minn. She has skillfully managed increasingly larger city projects, and has directed major projects in the rapidly growing community of Waconia. Clearly, Arntz is driven to excel in her chosen field of city management; she approaches the responsibilities and call of public service with tremendous enthusiasm and dedication. She has worked tirelessly to construct an innovative and successful partnership between the city and the development community and other agencies. Since 2001, Arntz has served as a member of Augsburg’s Alumni Board of Directors, contributing a valued voice of vision, reason, and influence. In addition to sharing her time with the College, Arntz is also a member of Augsburg’s Century Club. A woman of deep faith and Christian values, Arntz is an active member of her church and community. She and her husband, Jonathan ’95, have two children. The Rev. Arthur V. Rimmereid graduated from Augsburg College and Seminary in 1953 and 1956, respectively. His first call was to a parish in north central North Dakota—Bisbee Lutheran Church— where he served as pastor from 1956–1962. He then served as pastor of Advent Lutheran Church in Coon Rapids, Minn., where he was asked to develop a new mission congregation. From 1967–1983, he served first as assistant pastor and then as senior pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brainerd, Minn. Rimmereid’s 27 years of distinguished parish ministry—in a rural community, in a mission congregation, and in a larger established congregation—served as excellent preparation for his next call to serve as assistant to the bishop of the Northern Minnesota District, ALC, from 1983–1987. He served in that capacity until the merger and was called to a like position in the new Northwestern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA, serving again as assistant to the bishop from 1988–1991. In 1991, he was elected bishop and served until his retirement in 1995. A strong supporter of his alma mater, Rimmereid often and proudly encourages others to attend the College and also to provide financial donations to support its programs and its mission. In addition, he is a regular participant and speaker at College events—particularly in chapel, where he shares his spirit of dedication, his love of people, and his message of faith. Rimmereid has distinguished himself as an active member of Kiwanis International for a number of years. He and his wife, Charlotte (Kleven) ’52, reside in Maplewood, Minn., where in addition to church activities, they are active volunteers in the community. A person of compassion and integrity, Rimmereid’s achievements and service exemplify the ideals and mission of Augsburg. Fall 2004 9 HOMECOMING 2004 THE NYDAHL FAMILY honored with the Distinguished Service Award by Lynn Mena T Courtesy photo he Distinguished Service Award recogizes “formative families” who have made a substantial and continuing contribution to Augsburg and to its mission in the world through their vocations, their philanthropy, and their citizenship. This year’s recipient is the family of Johannes and Tabitha Nydahl, honoring their Norwegian and Lutheran heritage and their generations-long connection to the College. Over the years, many descendents of Johannes and Tabitha have attended Augsburg, including their three sons, Theodore, Malvin, and Harold. The Nydahl family members, through their careers and avocations, have long illustrated Augsburg’s mission of “education for service,” and it is a great honor to recognize them with this special award. Johannes Ludvigson Nydahl was born Feb. 20, 1863, at Sondfjord, Norway, to Ludvig Olson Nydahl and Nille Johannesen Holsen. As the oldest son, Johannes stood to inherit the family farm. However, he relinquished this right in order to realize his dream of exploring the world. He considered going to South Africa or the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), but chose instead the United States, emigrating in 1882. When Johannes arrived in the United States, he first worked as a lumberjack in northern Minnesota and then as a stonemason in Minneapolis—the First Baptist Church was one of his masonry projects. By these jobs he earned enough money to attend Augsburg. Johannes’ wife, Tabitha, was born to immigrants on a southern Minnesota farm. She was the daughter of Torger T. Rygh, who arrived in America in 1845 along with several siblings and their parents. Johannes Nydahl Johannes graduated from both the College and the Augsburg Seminary, attending from 1883–1891. Although he was never ordained, he was deeply involved with the Lutheran community, and served as a vicar in Watertown, S.Dak., in 1891. He then served the College as a professor of history and Norwegian from 1891–1920, before beginning in 1920 as Augsburg’s head librarian, a post he held until his death in 1928. During his years at Augsburg he also served as an instructor at Deaconess Hospital in Minneapolis from 1909–14. Among his many community and church activities were serving as Sunday school superintendent at Trinity Church, as president of the Minnesota Total Abstinence Society, secretary of the Folkebladet Publishing Company, treasurer and then president of the Board of the Deaconess Home, and secretary of the Lutheran Free Church, being listed as one of the 10 prominent men in the church’s development. An outstanding musician, too, Johannes was a member of the Augsburg Quartette, which toured throughout the 10 Johannes and Tabitha Nydahl pose with their six children. Pictured from L to R are: Ragna, Tabitha, Malvin, Agnes, Harold, Theodore, Johannes, and Valborg. upper Midwest and Michigan through the late 1880s and early 1890s. In 1895, the Quartette toured Norway, the first concert tour by Norwegians in America back to the fatherland. The Nydahls also were members of the Saga Hill community, a colony established in the 1880s by Augsburg professors, ministers, bankers, and professional men, most of them being members of Trinity Tabitha Nydahl Church who were deeply interested in the College and its success. They purchased 40 acres from a farmer in the Lake Minnetonka area where they built summer cabins. Johannes and Tabitha—who lived on the Augsburg campus for more than 30 years in what was to become known as West Hall when it became a girls’ dormitory—raised a family of six children. Ted became a history professor at the University of MinnesotaMankato, and later head of their Humanities Department; Mally became an orthopedic surgeon in Minneapolis after a standout athletic career in football, basketball, and baseball at the University of Minnesota. Harold became a pastor and counselor, and Ragna, Agnes, and Valborg all married Lutheran pastors and Augsburg graduates—Melvin Olson, Clarence Carlsen, and Torgney Kleven, respectively. All six children were great musicians, the three sisters singing in a much sought-after trio, and the three brothers being both singers and choir directors. This award celebrates the contributions and legacy of Johannes and Tabitha and the extended Nydahl family. Fall 2004 BY PAUL S. MUELLER, M.D. ’84 Scientific inquiry will reveal truth and lead to more questions “Where truth is, there is God.” —Miguel de Cervantes I give thanks and praise for my years at Augsburg. I am grateful for the knowledge I learned, the skills I acquired, and the experiences I had. But I am especially grateful for the professors, fellow students, and other individuals at Augsburg who encouraged me to think about science and the physical universe in the context of the Christian faith. Faculty members like John Holum, Earl Alton, Ralph Sulerud and others patiently spent countless hours with students like me, helping us not only to understand the universe, but also the relationship between the universe and God. Kermit Paulson and Mark Engebretson, persons of faith, encouraged my wife Nancy (Mackey) ’85 to pursue a degree in physics, an advanced degree in engineering, and ultimately careers in engineering and science teaching. To me, these teachers made physics understandable and God’s universe more spectacular. The desire for truth at Augsburg continues today. I am awed by the innovative education and research programs conducted by the science faculty. Seeking scientific truth at Augsburg is not simply memorizing and reciting facts. Instead, it is learning Fall 2004 methods of scientific inquiry that reveal truth and lead to more questions. The cycle of hypothesis, inquiry, discovery, and generating new questions and hypotheses about the universe leads to new knowledge and understanding. Whereas ignorance leads to fear and conflict, knowledge and understanding lead to comfort, joy, and peace. In other words, the truth makes us free. A tour of the current science building reveals how innovative and vital the science faculty is. This education is made complete by the Augsburg experience, a liberal arts education that places scientific truth in the context of other truths such as spiritual, humanistic, and philosophical truths. This milieu encourages the Augsburg science major not to seek just a job, but a true vocation, which Frederick Buechner describes as “the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.” A major focus of the current campaign, Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College, is a new Science Center. It is widely acknowledged that the current Science Hall is inadequate to fulfill and sustain the vision for science education and research at Augsburg College. Despite the limitations of the current facility, the sciences at Augsburg have grown. In addition, the number of science majors, education opportunities, and research programs has grown. Indeed, the College and the science faculty have been very creative in using and modifying the current facility, which is now more than 50 years old, to meet new challenges as they arise. For example, the site of an active living coral reef on the second floor of Science Hall in the Biology Department is truly amazing. Yet, this example of creativity reflects the enthusiasm the Augsburg science faculty has for teaching and research irrespective of the facility. This enthusiasm has undoubtedly played a crucial role in the growth and success of the science departments. Nevertheless, the time has come for a new Science Center at Augsburg College. This center will provide an environment conducive to teaching and mentoring science students and conducting research (SCIENCE continues on page 12) Vision is published by Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454.

For every dollar donated by a 3M employee or retiree, the 3M Foundation will contribute three dollars. Under this 3:1 challenge, the foundation will match up to $100,000 in contributions from employees or retirees with a $300,000 gift. Additionally, the foundation itself is contributing $200,000 to the Science Center. The grant challenges the College to raise up to $100,000 in gifts and pledges from 3M employees and retirees between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10, 2004, according to Alex Cirillo, Jr., vice president for the 3M Foundation. “This is a tremendous gift that provides Augsburg the opportunity to raise $600,000 in new funding for our campaign’s top priority—the new Science Center,” noted Sue Klaseus, Augsburg’s vice president for institutional advancement. “We are excited about the 3M Foundation leadership commitment.” Gifts toward the 3M Foundation challenge grant can come from any of its employees or retirees, Klaseus said, but the College’s primary effort will be geared toward the hundreds of Augsburg alumni and parents who work for the company. SCIENCE continued from page 11 at 21st-century standards. It will, in part, preserve and grow opportunities to explore science at Augsburg. Finally, the Science Center will be a major focal point of the Augsburg campus, where faith and reason are reconciled, where truth is loved and sought, and God is found. What can you do? • Keep Augsburg leadership, faculty, staff and students in your prayers. • Be an ambassador of Augsburg. Share with others, especially family, friends, and potential students, the good things that are happening at Augsburg, especially in the science departments. Encourage them to partake in the Augsburg experience, a place where the search for truth is encouraged and 12 nurtured, where science meets and honors God, and where seeking and finding the truth makes one free. • Get involved. Visit the campus and see what is happening at Augsburg. Attend alumni events. • Give generously to Augsburg. Consider joining the Maroon & Silver Society. Prayerfully consider committing to Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College. Include Augsburg in your estate plan (e.g., will, insurance policy, annuity). ■ Paul S.

For fiscal year ending May 2004, $825,000 was raised to support the lives and education of Augsburg students. New this year was the Class Challenge. “We issued a Class Challenge in hopes of involving more individuals in supporting their alma mater.” The criteria used included individuals who could be located within each class year and who held a day student status. Using the aforementioned criteria, the Class of 1937 had 100 percent participation. The Class of 1946 was the top giver, with an average gift size of more than $13,000 and a class participation rate of almost 81 percent. The class of 1985 also significantly increased their participation from past years. “We really appreciate the efforts of each of the Class Challenge participants,” said Malone. “The Augsburg Fund touches every aspect of the College at every moment of a student’s educational experience. It offers financial aid through scholarships and programs that transform students’ lives.” There are many stories of individuals giving to the Class Challenge who have never given to the College or who haven’t given on a consistent annual basis. Richard Koplitz ’48 has given to the College’s athletic programs in the past, but liked what he saw with the College expansion and wanted to support The Augsburg Fund. “Our annual fund support also was made possible by leadership donors, many of whom are Maroon & Silver Society members. Their gifts of $1,000 or more accounted for 75 percent of the annual fund goal this past year,” reported Sue Klaseus, vice president of Institutional Advancement and Community Relations. Augsburg’s goal is to nearly triple annual fund giving by 2006 to reach a 30 percent alumni participation rate. “This is a vibrant, evolving college,” said Malone. “Alumni giving to enhance the institution makes an Augsburg degree more meaningful. There are so many ways to support Augsburg, and contributing to the annual fund to support scholarships is one meaningful way.” ■ Contact Malone at 612-338-4825 or by e-mail at <[email protected]>.

Seldom are they as interested in other required courses, usually called the general education or core curriculum. What they don’t realize, however, is that this part of their college study is recognized within the higher education community to be as important as their major or area of specialization in preparing them for an increasingly technical, complex, and diverse workplace. Following extensive study, a national panel of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) issued a report in 2002 that makes the case for a “liberal” education, meaning one that will “help college students become intentional learners who can adapt to new environments, integrate knowledge from different sources, and continue learning throughout their lives.” A liberal education prepares students with skills beyond the theory and depth of a specialization that they will need to meet the challenges of a global society— critical thinking and communicating, the knowledge of how to learn, and the preparation for responsible citizenship. One hallmark of a liberal education is the integration of classroom learning with practical application through internships, community service, and other forms of experiential learning. A liberal and practical education educates students for responsible citizenship as well as for 16 ▼ work and careers. The good news for Augsburg is that educating for citizenship has always been part of an Augsburg education. Joan Griffin, Augsburg professor of English and director of general education, wrote in a recent discussion paper, “Education for citizenship may be trendy now, but as many of us discovered … it’s been in the bones of this College at least since September 1874 when the faculty approved a science division that would provide ‘a practical general education’ to prepare Norwegian immigrants to flourish as citizens of their new world.” In the area of experiential education, and especially in servicelearning where community service is integrated into classroom learning, Augsburg has been a national leader for many years. In 2003, U.S.News & World Report, in its “Programs to Look for,” included Augsburg among 20 schools nationwide as a “stellar example” of a service-learning program. PHOTOS BY STEPHEN GEFFRE previous general education course requirements spread over eight liberal arts “perspectives,” and—most importantly—that aligns it more closely with Augsburg’s vision document, Augsburg 2004: Extending the Vision. LAUNCHING THE AUGSBURG CORE In fall 2003, Augsburg launched the Augsburg Core Curriculum, or Augsburg Core, a new general education curriculum that incorporates the best practices from national research, that streamlines the At Opening Celebration, new first-year students process into Hoversten Chapel through the ballooned arch and through a line of welcoming faculty and staff. Fall 2004 For more than two years, several committees involving over 25 faculty and students worked to define the underlying principles of general education at Augsburg. Then, over several months a design team collaborated to construct the new curriculum. The full faculty discussed the proposal in open hearings and finally voted its approval. The Augsburg Core Curriculum Design Team CORE PRINCIPLES A number of key principles make up the heart of the Augsburg Core. Augsburg believes that students learn best in community. Thus, “learning communities” are at the center of the Augsburg Core. Students begin their college careers in the Augsburg Seminar learning communities, and they complete their careers in their major keystone communities. Both connect students with faculty and with fellow students. In the first year almost all courses are taught by full-time faculty, not adjuncts, to encourage these connections. The community of learners is strengthened by having all students share educational experiences at several places during their studies where common questions are considered and continually revisited. This is accomplished through common readings, through required courses, and through required experiences to which students apply their classroom learning. At the heart of the Augsburg Core are Joan Griffin, chair . . . . . . . .English Lori Brandt Hale . . . . . . . .Religion Dal Liddle . . . . . . . . . . . . . .English Merilee Klemp . . . . . . . . . . .Music Diane Pike . . . . . . . . . . .Sociology Ambrose Wolf . . . . . . . . . .Physics The result of this work over these several years is a carefully crafted, cohesive education that blends broad, general learning with depth in one or more specific areas and prepares students with tools to succeed. The Augsburg Core combines hallmarks of the College’s Lutheran (and, specifically, Lutheran Free Church) heritage, its long-standing commitment to educating students for service in the world, its commitment to provide access to a diverse learning community, and its location in the center of an urban area. Woven throughout are the themes of Christian faith, exploration of vocation, the city, diversity, and global awareness. It is an education distinctive to Augsburg College, and it offers a life-changing journey for students, truly a transforming education. Fall 2004 In their Augsburg Seminar, first-year students begin learning about the city in which they will study, live, and work by exploring its resources and opportunities and engaging in community service projects. Sociology professor Diane Pike (right) leads an AugSem group as they explore downtown Minneapolis streets. 17 the two signature courses called Search for Meaning that are required of all Augsburg students. In these courses, the themes most important to Augsburg’s mission and vision—vocation, identity, and Christian faith—are introduced and revisited as students begin to reflect in more substantive ways about these issues. The Core Curriculum is designed to be developmental. From the first year onward, the curriculum introduces shared themes through common experiences, engages students in the city, builds skills in the major, broadens perspectives through the liberal arts, requires application of learned theory, and, finally, pulls everything together in a keystone course before graduation. Augsburg students continually have Becoming an orientation leader is one way in which students can grow as leaders on campus. Here, during summer orientation, Laura Prasek ’05 helps a new student figure out his academic schedule for the first semester. 18 opportunities to develop leadership skills for service in society: through knowledge gained from the breadth of their liberal arts courses, through the embedding of skills development in their major courses, and through the many forms of experiential education in the Twin Cities or elsewhere where they can apply their classroom learning to practical situations. An Augsburg education places emphasis on the whole student, both in academic classroom study and activities outside of the classroom. Working in tandem with the academic curriculum is the co-curriculum, i.e., the rich variety of college life that includes support services such as advising, tutoring services, and accommodations for physical and learning disabilities, as well as student government, sports, residence life, campus ministry, and many other social organizations. All of this helps students build the confidence and skills they need to become leaders. Two significant aspects of an Augsburg education—the commitment to a diverse learning community and the importance of global awareness—are intentionally infused throughout both the core curriculum and the major, rather than being targeted in specific courses. Students will encounter these themes inherent in Augsburg’s identity throughout their studies. In several cases the themes are imprinted in a common experience. For example, the Effective Writing course, required of first-year students, includes a common text chosen for its culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse content. Throughout the core curriculum, students will encounter opportunities to experience and discuss the nature of human differences. The Augsburg Core is designed for all undergraduate students and is required of all, including those in the traditional day program, in Weekend College, and the Rochester program, albeit with some adjustments and slightly altered format for weekend and transfer students. While weekend and Rochester students do not participate in the firstyear program, they must fulfill all other requirements of the curriculum. For the most part, adult working students value the Augsburg Core for its emphasis on liberal arts, and they understand its application to their work or life situation. They often use their own workplace as the setting for a project to fulfill the Augsburg Experience. Many students also take advantage of shortterm study seminars to experience another country or culture. Augsburg’s Honors Program is rooted in the Augsburg Core and offers an enriched and interdisciplinary environment in which students explore the many dimensions of ideas and uses of knowledge. Its courses lead students through a specially-designed core curriculum for academically-qualified students. IMPLEMENTING THE AUGSBURG CORE In 2003, Augsburg’s Center for Teaching and Learning received a three-year grant from the Bush Foundation to help faculty implement the new Augsburg Core. During the past year, faculty have met in learning collaboratives to address best teaching and learning practices. The grant has also funded workshops, materials, and research collaborations. For faculty, the new core curriculum has resulted in a significant shift. Formerly, faculty members generally designed, taught, and evaluated their own courses within departments. The new curriculum calls upon faculty to Fall 2004 collaborate across departments and disciplines, since all courses now serve the broader goals of an Augsburg education, including embedded skills, service-learning, and other kinds of learning beyond the specific subject matter. “It’s work that will have as much payoff for faculty, if we do it well,” comments Diane Pike, professor of sociology and director of the Center for Teaching and Learning. “Faculty gain a much better understanding of how the curriculum meets its goals; it gives us an intentionality and explicitness that we didn’t have before.” The Augsburg Core’s distinction has not gone unnoticed. While higher education is clearly moving towards the “liberal education” called for in AAC&U’s national report, Augsburg shows clear leadership with its emphasis and commitment to service-learning and the development of learning communities. The College is actively participating in this national discussion and is being recognized for the distinctiveness and coherence of the new core curriculum. Representing the Augsburg Core graphically as an arch becomes an effective tool to explain the comprehensiveness of the curriculum as well as to help students navigate through the courses to graduation. Creating the Augsburg Core has been a self-examination of the most fundamental values of Augsburg’s heritage, mission, and vision. An Augsburg education is now more closely aligned with the vision of “transforming education” the College understands itself called to offer, helping students to find their place in the world and reach their potential. Provost Christopher Kimball sums it up on Augsburg’s Web site, “We are one college with one mission, offering one unique experience.” Fall 2004 The Augsburg Arch The Augsburg Arch visually demonstrates the structure, relationships, and coherence of the Augsburg Core Curriculum. It shows how the liberal arts, academic majors, and general education intersect, and how the liberal arts are foundational, both in content and skills. The keystone brings it all together and supports the whole as an integrated education. The Augsburg Core has three major components: ▼ The Signature Curriculum ▼ The Liberal Arts Foundation ▼ Skills Requirement The Signature Curriculum sets Augsburg apart from others. It includes both specific courses and elements of courses that engage students with the core values inherent in Augsburg’s mission and heritage. 1. THE SIGNATURE CURRICULUM Augsburg Seminar (first-year program) helps first-year weekday students make the transition to college in “learning communities” based on their major or other academic interests. In these courses students learn what it means to become a citizen of an academic community. Many of these courses also include an Engaging Minneapolis component, which introduces them to life in the Twin Cities—by exploring the local arts scene, studying environmental issues on the Mississippi, bicycling the downtown riverfront, tutoring neighborhood immigrant children, sampling the local ethnic cuisine, and much more. Search for Meaning 1 and 2—These two religion courses present Christian theology as well as non-Christian faiths and guide students in exploring and reflecting on Augsburg’s concept of vocation—discovering and using one’s own talents and passion in service in the world. Augsburg Experience—All students will complete a required experience that links their academic study to involvement in the broader community, either locally or globally. This experience can be study abroad, an internship, research with a professor, community service-learning, or an offcampus immersion experience. Senior Keystone—The required senior keystone course revisits conversations on vocation, now within the context of the major, and builds on the cumulative combining of theoretical classroom knowledge with experiential applications of it. It also reflects the developmental nature of the Augsburg Core—beginning with Augsburg Seminar, Search for Meaning, and Engaging Minneapolis; then adding growth in major skills and practical application in the Augsburg Experience; and, finally, a uniting of everything in the keystone. 2. THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION In order to learn and appreciate different ways of knowing and modes of inquiry, students take two courses from different departments in each of the four academic domains. Students may take “connections” courses that are team-taught and examine the liberal arts around themes and across disciplines. 3. SKILLS REQUIREMENTS Courses throughout the four years provide skills beyond the specialization that responsible citizens and successful employees need in the global workplace—in critical thinking, speaking, writing, and quantitative reasoning. Entrance assessments prepare students to take the courses that fulfill graduation requirements in these areas. Core skill requirements include writing, modern language, and lifetime fitness. 19 core curriculum Augsburg Seminar THE FIRST-YEAR PROGRAM BECOMING AN AUGGIE For most first-year students, college is a big change. It may be the first time they have left home or have lived in a city. Many will find that high school did not prepare them for the demanding work load of a college schedule or the cognitive challenges and skills that they will need to flourish in their new academic environment. Augsburg recognizes that first-year students need support as they make the transition to college and successful academic careers. Because of the attention that it pays to the experience of first-year students, Augsburg was named as one of 12 Founding Institutions in the Council of Independent Colleges’ Foundations of Excellence™ in the First College Year Project. Augsburg’s first-year program, Augsburg Seminar, introduces first-year weekday students to the Augsburg learning community. It helps them become intentional learners as they develop the skills and strategies that will lead to success in college. It introduces them to the signature themes of an Augsburg education: vocation, caritas, and community. It introduces them to what it means to be an educated person: an effective, informed, and ethical citizen. From their first day on campus, everything is geared to helping students get off to the right start. Augsburg Seminar courses join students, professors, peer leaders (AugMentors), and campus staff together in “learning communities” based on a student’s major or other academic interests. In these communities, students may work on joint projects, getting to know the Twin Cities cultural scene, meeting and tutoring newly-arrived immigrants in the neighborhood, and writing reflections on these experiences. On the day before classes actually begin, AugSem sections spend the afternoon in community service projects, mostly in the neighborhoods around campus. This year, Kristin Snartland is one of the AugSem students who rode the new lightrail from near campus to downtown, finding out how easy it is to get around. 20 first-year students worked a total of more than 1,000 hours on their AugSem community service projects. In the process they become acquainted with each other, explore the resources of the College community, get connected with the city—and have fun. Many students find college-long (and life-long) friends in their Augsburg Seminar. They get to know their professors—and their professors get to know them, both in class and outside the classroom in AugSem activities. Biology professor Bill Capman’s AugSem section is paired with the Introductory Organismal Biology course, which also includes a service-learning field project. This fall, his students visited a local nature preserve, Dodge Nature Center, to learn about and work to remove invasive plant species from their grounds. As part of their AugSem curriculum, Capman’s group spends time on broader topics—developing good study skills in the sciences, exploring biology and medical-related careers, and, for biology The AugSem/Biology 103 class spent time at the Dodge Nature Center, studying invasive plant species and helping to remove them from the preserve. Professor Bill Capman points out differences between the buckthorn to be removed and ash trees to Brittany Grudem (left) and Jennifer Moe (right). Fall 2004 A Somali community leader, Abdirizak Bihi, introduces an AugSem group to a Somali shop in the Cedar-Riverside area. The class was getting acquainted with Somali culture to prepare them for their later visits in the neighborhood to give people information about voting and registration. majors, getting to know upperclass biology majors and becoming involved in department activities. In Professor John Shockley’s Augsburg Seminar section with its paired Political Patterns and Processes course, students took advantage of the events around the presidential election to study the challenges and opportunities people face in trying the make the world safer and more peaceful. On the AugSem city service projects day this group visited shops and businesses around campus owned by Somali immigrants to learn about their culture. During the semester they met with people in the neighborhood about voting and voter registration. Getting off to the right start Over the past decade, Augsburg has intentionally developed a first-year program that helps incoming students ease the transition to both college life and to the city in which they’ll live, work, and find many kinds of opportunities. Because of this commitment and a readiness to evaluate and improve its program, Search for Meaning All freshman students are required to take the first of two Search for Meaning courses, Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning. This course explores the broad questions of existence—who we are, why we’re here, etc.—and examines the Christian notion of vocation as a lens through which one’s own life can be considered, informed by faith within the context of these larger questions. Some of the Search for Meaning Fall 2004 sections are paired with Augsburg Seminars, and some have community service-learning components. Religion professor Russell Kleckley’s Search for Meaning section is paired with music professor Merilee Klemp’s Introduction to Music and the Fine Arts, and together they co-teach the Augsburg Seminar. These two courses will jointly study larger questions of meaning in the context of the Judeo-Christian musical tradition—from medieval chanting to today’s rap music. The second Search for Meaning course invites students to think about the role that religion, the Bible, and their own beliefs play in the vocational choices they make in their lives. Students who are not Christian will consider their own religious and spiritual beliefs and how they affect their vocation and place in the world. Augsburg was named one of 12 “Founding Institutions” to participate in a national project to develop a model first-year program that can be used by small, private colleges to help their students reach graduation. The project, Foundations of Excellence™ in the First College Year, is co-sponsored by the Policy Center of the First Year of College and the Council on Independent Colleges. Funding for the two-year project is provided by Lumina Foundation for Education and The Atlantic Philanthropies. 21 core curriculum Engaging Minneapolis “MEETING” THE CITY The first-year orientation booklet tells incoming day students, “When you come to Augsburg, you arrive at the heart of a vibrant city.” While most students have probably visited the Twin Cities before, it was most likely while visiting family or as a tourist, which gave them little knowledge about studying, living, and working in this area. Engaging Minneapolis highlights the importance of Augsburg’s urban location and introduces new students to the resources, issues, opportunities, and diversity of the city. This is the urban context that enables Augsburg to fulfill its mission to prepare students as responsible citizens and leaders in service to the world. Engaging Minneapolis is not the name of a single course, but rather an added course component that makes intentional and substantial use of city resources. Courses with Engaging Minneapolis components are not about the city, but engage the city as a learning laboratory in which students study their particular liberal arts or general education subject matter. Activities in Engaging Minneapolis courses can vary widely— attending concerts and other cultural events, exploring the ethnic restaurants in the neighborhood, tutoring immigrant children or adults preparing for citizenship tests, helping care for community gardens, or discovering the many bike and walking paths along the Mississippi River near campus. Some of the Engaging Minneapolis courses also include courseembedded service-learning—an Augsburg signature. In these classes service experiences and reflective learning are integrated Bicycling Minneapolis is a lifetime fitness course that fulfills Engaging Minneapolis by exploring the history and culture of the city along its bikepaths and trails. 22 As part of her Search for Meaning course, Ashley Boyd helps Somali high school students with their homework and has opportunity to learn about their religion and culture. into the students’ coursework, and the community experience becomes a “text” for the course. Both the students and the community partners learn from each other. Very few colleges include service-learning in first year courses. Mary Laurel True, director of community servicelearning, says that community service is “part of who we are,” and that it’s important for new students right away to get a taste of what it means to be engaged in the community. Several of the AugSem paired classes work with new immigrants in the neighborhoods surrounding the College. In Professor Janelle Bussert’s Religion 100 class, students spend 15 hours at Trinity Lutheran Church in the CedarRiverside neighborhood helping Somali high school students with their homework in Safe Place, an afterschool program. The students study Islam in their religion class, and then find opportunities to talk further and ask questions of the Somali high school students about their religious traditions. Bussert says that some wonderful conversations have arisen while they work together. English professor Bob Cowgill’s Effective Writing students spend 15 hours during the semester working with adult immigrants, mostly from East Africa, at the Franklin Learning Center in the Phillips neighborhood near campus. The students review English lessons or help with flash cards as the adult learners study for citizenship tests. Cowgill’s English course investigates how one knows and accounts for identity through language. He says that his students benefit from meeting and working with the immigrants, and have remarked about how hard the immigrants work to learn English and become Americans. Fall 2004 core curriculum A LESSON IN COMPUTERS AND CULTURE Business/MIS professor Lee Clarke student wrote. “He handed me teaches a first-year course, MIS 175 a piece of paper that said, Principles of Computing for Business. ‘Thanks for helping me.’ It It’s an introductory course for was typed in real big, bold management information systems (MIS) letters. He then looked at me students to learn Microsoft Office and said, ‘Look, I learned how programs and how they are used in to use Word.’ ” business to reach goals and solve A disabled student business problems. thought he would not be able The course is designed to include an to help, but later wrote, Engaging Minneapolis component.

Keystone PUTTING IT TOGETHER If Engaging Minneapolis is the bookend on the front end of an Augsburg Fall 2004 education, the keystone experience is the final bookend. During the years in between, students delve into a major, build professional as well as life skills, apply their classroom learning, explore faith, and experience the city. The keystone course usually occurs in the senior year, close to graduation. The keystone in the Augsburg Core, as in architecture, provides the shape and support to the structural elements of the arch. It connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and the in-depth study in the major. It helps students begin the transition to their after-college life. Learning goals include a revisiting of the critical conversations about vocation that were begun in the first Search for Meaning course. Attention is paid to reflection on vocation, leadership, and service in a diverse world. The value of the keystone, says MIS professor Nora Braun, who piloted an MIS keystone course, is that it’s time focused on thinking about all the pieces in an Augsburg education and what the student has done with them. “It’s a reflection and a pulling together of the total experience in and out of the classroom.” Braun asks her students to write an “education autobiography” that reflects on the identified outcomes of their Augsburg education. 23 core curriculum Augsburg Experience CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY Augsburg recognizes that today’s citizens need new kinds of competencies— abstract and complex problem-solving, systems thinking, and collaboration, among others. These are skills that cannot be learned in normal classroom activity alone, but are enhanced with direct experience in the workplace and community. In the Augsburg Core all students are required to complete an approved Augsburg Experience, one of the signature elements in the core curriculum that adds value to an Augsburg education. The Augsburg Experience can be completed in one of five ways: ▼ internships, cooperative education, practica, fieldwork, and clinicals ▼ faculty-student research ▼ community service-learning courses and experiences ▼ study abroad ▼ off-campus immersion experiences The Augsburg Experience, in short, links the theoretical with the practical, and links on-campus experience to the wider community. Every approved “experience” must engage the student in the community away from campus. To help them tailor an experience to their studies and interests, students work with faculty; the staff and resources of the Center for Service, Work, and Learning; and the Office of International Programs (OIP). Internships and cooperative education have traditionally been the most common choices for work-based 24 experiential education. Several professional studies majors already require student teaching, practica or fieldwork, and internships. Some Weekend College students who are working full time find they are able to develop an Augsburg Experience in their own jobs by compiling a formal plan, approved by the Center for Service, Work, and Learning, identifying a minimum of three learning outcomes that make deliberate connections between their education and work. Augsburg offers outstanding opportunities, especially in the sciences, for student-faculty research. Students work with their professors on original research that is usually more common at the graduate level. Through this, students learn to apply knowledge from their major and engage in the research process and in the discoveries, both successes and failures, that contribute to the body of knowledge in their discipline and benefit the wider community. Augsburg’s Physics Department collaborates on a number of ongoing research projects with major universities and government agencies, giving its students original research opportunities from their freshman year forward. The department enjoys an international reputation for research excellence, and its students have won several awards for outstanding presentations. Students can also meet the Augsburg Experience through courses with servicelearning components. A portion of course time is spent in service at the site, reflection, discussion, and related activities. Or, students can work at approved sites and carry out reflection activities with Augsburg faculty or staff members. Augsburg has built partnerships with more than 30 community organizations and is a recognized national leader and awardwinner. Students have a variety of choices for study abroad through the Center for Global Education’s study centers in Sociology and metro-urban studies students visited U.S. Rep. Martin Olav Sabo ’59 on their study trip to Washington, D.C., last spring to talk with people in public service about their vocations and working “on the hill.” (R to L): Lois Olson, Center for Service, Work, and Learning; Jennifer Nacey; Jessica Howard; Lori Cain; Amanda Froiland; Ray McCoy; Ted Arrindell; Maria Belen Power; Adela Arguello; Krista Dahlke; Kendra Kahlow; Kate Loyd; and Garry Hesser, professor of sociology and metro-urban studies. Fall 2004 Central America, Mexico, and southern Africa. Also, the International Partners program offers opportunities in European countries where Augsburg has formal university partnerships and internship opportunities. Other programs are available with approval from OIP. The fifth possibility for an Augsburg Experience is through off-campus immersion. These are typically weeklong experiences away from campus where students are engaged in learning that helps them understand, apply, and appreciate their Augsburg education in a diverse, global society. One example of off-campus immersion includes the visits made by Weekend College nursing students to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. There they meet with public health nurses, shadow them in their daily work, and learn about Lakota culture. An English major looks at rap music by Keme Hawkins It was the summer before my senior year and I knew I wanted to apply to graduate school. It was important for me to get some research experience and quick. The University of Minnesota’s McNair Summer Research Program accepted me, and I worked with the Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community under the mentorship of Dr. Oliver Williams from the College of Human Ecology, School of Social Work. It seemed a strange home for an English major, but my McNair adviser assured me that it would be a valuable experience. The Institute holds annual conferences that focus on specific aspects of domestic violence and this year’s conference theme was “Domestic Violence and the Hip-Hop Generation.” In keeping with the theme I tailored my research to complement the research already in progress and formulated a study that looked at whether or not people are influenced by the suggested gender identities in rap music and how that affected their dating and marital relationships. The scholar’s group reported weekly to the seminar, where we would be debriefed on each aspect of the research process: developing an introduction, explaining the significance of the study, forming a hypothesis, doing a literature review, forming methodology, compiling results, creating a discussion, and making recommendations for further study. The dispensing of our stipend was contingent upon completing each research step by a certain time, while also doing work to help prepare us for graduate school, like writing a personal statement, putting together a curriculum vitae, and making Fall 2004 a list of graduate schools to apply to. My research concluded with the Domestic Violence and the Hip-Hop Generation conference at York College in Queens, N.Y. Because my professor thought so highly of my work and was impressed with my knowledge of hiphop music and culture, I was invited to take part in a plenary session where I discussed the impact of sexist rap lyrics with the rap group Holla Point and practitioners who work to combat domestic violence. As an English major, entering the world of social science was not as unnatural or discomforting as I would have imagined. While the social sciences study human behavior, literature is a study of the human condition through non-fiction accounts and human imagination. Having the opportunity to do interdisciplinary work has not only given me another perspective on how to think more broadly within my own field, but it has also allowed me to get better focus on the kind of graduate program for my interest. African-American literature can offer me the best of those worlds—having a definite house or genre or body of literary work to study based in a social science is the ideal place for me. Keme Hawkins is a Weekend College senior English major and a McNair Scholar. Weekend College senior English major Keme Hawkins used her knowledge of hip-hop music and culture in research on domestic violence that she carried out last summer with a professor in the Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Family at the University of Minnesota. 25 Meet Joan Griffin PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH D I R E C T O R O F G E N E R A L E D U C AT I O N Joan Griffin has lived and breathed the mission and values of Augsburg College. She is the co-author of the College’s vision document, Augsburg 2004: Extending the Vision, that was approved in 1999, and has also co-authored its update and revision, presented to the Board of Regents for approval in January 2005. Augsburg Now posed the following question to her: What are the most important core values from the College’s mission and vision that are now imprinted in the new Augsburg Core Curriculum? One, of course, is vocation … the idea that each student brings a unique set of talents and abilities and potential. We need to cultivate all of these abilities, not just the academic ones, but all the talents that students bring with them. Certainly, also important is citizenship, or “the city.” We tried to expand the notion of city, so that it’s not just an urban studies requirement, but it really has to do with providing an education for citizenship. The College has always done that; it’s part of why the College is a college rather than a seminary—early leaders were concerned with how to prepare Norwegian immigrants to become citizens. Right away we want students to know they they’ve come to a terrific place and that they can learn here, both inside and outside the classroom. We introduce this theme in Engaging Minneapolis and repeat it in the Augsburg Experience, where once again we ask them to go beyond the classroom and actually put into practice what they’ve learned in the classroom. For the first time we have overall goals in our curriculum—we want students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. The emphasis on ethics comes from our Lutheran heritage, but we want it to pervade the entire curriculum. Effective citizens need the skills of knowing how to write, to read, to think critically. Those skills should be addressed intentionally throughout the curriculum, but general education can be particularly accountable. We know too that effective citizens will need to function in a diverse society. Although we explicitly introduce the theme of diversity through the Many Voices Project in the first year, the new Augsburg Core calls for an infusion model of diversity whereby we’ll ask the entire curriculum—especially majors— to think about the skills and knowledge that their students will need to be responsible citizens of an increasingly global society. The Signature Curriculum does really hit these distinctive parts of an Augsburg education. The two Search for Meaning courses address vocation through the lens of our Lutheran heritage. The city, of course, we address within our metropolitan setting through the Engaging Minneapolis requirement. There is also the notion of caritas, the demand for God’s love to be enacted in the world. An Augsburg education is an education for action. We see this throughout the curriculum—in Augsburg Seminar, in Engaging Minneapolis, and in the Augsburg Experience.

As the first Weekend College graduate to serve as Alumni Board president, I’ve been spending some time considering both the similarities and the differences among our alumni and their experiences. Augsburg has done an incredible job of creating educational programs that fit the contrasting needs of students. In years past, the College was smaller and offered fewer programs. Today, our students may choose from the weekend, Rochester, graduate, or traditional day programs. They may live on campus or they may commute from home. It’s only natural, then, that graduates of 20 or more years ago are likely to have very different memories from those who graduated more recently. In turn, this H also means that the “Augsburg experience” will mean different things for our alumni—their memories are unique and the connection each feels toward Augsburg varies. For example, many adult learners do not feel the same long-term association and affection for the College as do those students who live on campus. However, we all share in the traditions and events that have been treasured to this day, like Advent Vespers and Homecoming. One important goal of the Alumni Board is to help create meaningful relationships between all Augsburg students and alumni. We want everyone to share a deep “Augsburg experience” and a continuing connection with the College—which we believe will help to spread Augsburg’s educational and vocational values throughout the community. All alumni have one thing in common: the great benefit of an Augsburg degree, which does not differentiate between student types. Five alumni appointed to Alumni Board he Augsburg Alumni Board of Directors appointed five new members and elected Bill Vanderwall ’93 WEC as president and Karina Karlén ’83 as president-elect.

Weekend College Alumni Network (WECAN) established by Amy Sutton lumni of Augsburg Weekend College have established a group to represent and advocate for WEC students and graduates. Although initially launched a few years ago, the Weekend College Alumni Network (WECAN) has been reinvigorated in recent months. “The Weekend College program is such a vital part of Augsburg, and we want to bring attention to that,” said Andy Fried, a 1993 graduate who also serves on the Alumni Board of Directors. “We believe that a group of alumni who have actually experienced the unique challenges of WEC students can be strong advocates for positive changes that will enhance the Augsburg experience for current WEC students.” A 28 WECAN members also hope to bring visibility to the value that WEC alumni and students bring to the College, as well as to develop programs and communications that provide support and encouragement to current WEC students. “Our opportunities to attend Augsburg have had a tremendous impact on our lives and we want to give something back,” says Fried. If you are interested in joining WECAN or have suggestions for the group, please e-mail Members of the newly established Weekend College Alumni Network (WECAN) gathered recently to strategize ways to represent and advocate for WEC students and alumni.

Over the years there is little doubt that the response has always been a resounding “yes.” As readers 80 years from now look back to this day and what is being written about the launching of the largest fundraising campaign in Augsburg’s history, I surmise they will note the same sense of watershed in the College’s life. Augsburg’s tradition of excellence and vision for educating in the sciences necessitates a new center and upgrade to the existing half-centuryold facilities. Our men’s and women’s athletic programs have no further capacity to stretch their space. We seek the addition of facilities on campus to help us nourish and grow the partnerships we’ve built in our neighborhood and community. And, to continue to make an Augsburg education available to many students, the endowment must grow. Through Augsburg Now, news and stories about the campaign, Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College, will be featured in a newsletter called Vision. In this issue, a special edition of Vision presents an overview of the campaign as well as stories about the generosity of donors who have already made significant contributions and about students who benefit from it. This year also marks a change in leadership on Augsburg’s Board of Regents. The six-year tenure of board chair Kathy Tunheim provided vision and direction for Augsburg to leap into national limelight as an innovator in education. For the first time in 40 years a graduate of Augsburg, Jean Taylor ’85, takes over the reins of leadership. Their perspectives on the College, its mission, and their roles are included in this issue. Other features offer different glimpses of service reflected in Augsburg’s motto, Education for Service. Jean Housh, wife of regent emeritus Allen Housh, brought to us a story she wrote about “Major” Bowen, a remarkable high school student and current Augsburg student, who has faced the greatest of challenges in recovery from a devastating brain injury. With the compassion and commitment of Augsburg staff and faculty working with his family, he was able to begin a college career. Stephanie Quick, an Augsburg graduate and seminary student, is also featured. Her efforts to collect donated prom dresses—that most likely would never be worn again—from parishioners at her home church in the Twin Cities and through her sister here at Augsburg, brightened the lives of Native Alaskan teenage girls who could not afford to buy a dress for their special evening. Editor Quanbeck wrote in 1924 that he hoped The Augsburgian would be “an instrument in helping people to realize that our school is doing a great work, an important work.” Augsburg continues this great work, and we take pride in sharing it with you in Augsburg Now.

(Photo by Stephen Geffre) AROUND QUAD Around THE the Quad Augsburg launches $55 million capital campaign Augsburg News Service New Science Center needed to continue excellence in the sciences O n April 18 Augsburg kicked off a $55 million capital campaign—the most ambitious fund-raising effort in its 135year history—to seek funding for two new buildings, a major addition to a third, and support for the endowment to help fund scholarship opportunities for its students. Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College seeks $37 million for the three building projects, $13 million for growth to the endowment, and $5 million in growth to the annual operating fund. Nearly $30 million already has been raised. Individual gifts of at least $1 million have come from James and Kathy Haglund of Golden Valley, Minn.; Kinney L. Johnson ’65, of Boulder, Colo., Jean Taylor ’85 and Roger Griffith ’84 and the Glen A. Taylor Foundation; and Alan Rice of St. Paul. The centerpiece in the campaign will be a new Science Center and renovation of the College’s existing Science Hall, built in 1949. The project will both strengthen Augsburg’s tradition of excellence in the sciences and help expand science learning for both its own students and the community. The 58,000 square-foot Science Center will include teaching and research laboratories and three multi-use halls that will be used for classes, guest speakers, and community events. Renovation of the existing Science Hall, which will connect via skyway to the new building, will bring all of the science and mathematics programs together into one dynamic and interactive facility. “This new facility will be extremely important to Augsburg’s commitment to the health sciences,” noted President 2 William Frame. The center will provide space to help K-12 students explore careers in health science and solidly support Minnesota’s biomedical technology sector through the high quality education of talented science and math majors steeped in Augsburg’s liberal arts tradition. And, thanks to a planning grant from the State of Minnesota, architectural planning for the facility incorporates multiple “green” features in an environmentally responsible structure. The second major campaign project is the construction of a Gateway Building on Riverside Avenue. The building will serve as headquarters for both the College’s Alumni Center and its award-winning Center for Service, Work, and Learning. It also will house StepUP, Augsburg’s program for students in recovery, providing both residential and counseling space for the program. And, it will have space for retail opportunities to serve both the campus and the surrounding CedarRiverside community, including the University of Minnesota—in a model of public and private economic development for the neighborhood. A third building project is a major addition to Melby Hall, the College’s main athletic facility. The project will address pressing space shortages for Augsburg’s academic, intercollegiate, and recreational programs; it will provide classroom, workout, and competitive space, including a new Greco-Roman wrestling center, funded in part through a $1 million gift from Alan Rice of St. Paul. Funding for the endowment will focus on four key areas: several new faculty chairs and professorships, new endowed scholarships to provide access to students from a wide range of backgrounds, program support, and staff development. Augsburg’s first endowed chair, initiated through the campaign, will be named in memory of Bernhard M. Christensen, president of the College from 1938-62. Growth in The Augsburg Fund, the unrestricted annual giving fund, will be used by the College to meet its most pressing day-to-day needs. The five-year campaign, which began its “quiet phase” in fiscal year 2001 will run through 2006, the same year the College hopes to break ground on the new Science Center and Gateway Building. Giving toward the campaign has been broad-based with nearly 70 gifts of more than $100,000 already pledged. The campaign was kicked off— literally—on the Edor Nelson Athletic Field by College officials and hundreds of alumni, staff, and friends at a community festival on April 18. The festivities included a basketball youth clinic led by University of Arizona head coach Lute Olson ’56, a hockey clinic led by Minnesota Wild Wes Walz, music and theatre performances, children’s book readings, and science demonstrations. The evening prior to the festival, donors were entertained at a gala dinner. Augsburg’s last major campaign, the 21st Century Fund, raised $64 million from 1989 to 1997, with the $15 million James G. Lindell Family Library as its centerpiece. Read about Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College in Vision, the campaign newsletter, beginning after p. 22.

Promotion to professor by Betsey Norgard A ugsburg’s head track and crosscountry coach Dennis Barker spent two weeks in California this summer, but hardly on vacation. His trip took him to Sacramento for the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in track and field where 10 of the runners he coaches hoped to earn a place in the Athens games. As a head coach for Team USA Minnesota, Barker has garnered national attention for the caliber of elite athletes who come to Minnesota to train with him—among them Carrie Tollefson, a native of Dawson, Minn., who became an NCAA-champion at Villanova, and is close to being an Olympian. In an article published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune prior to the trials and distributed nationally by the Associated Press, Barker is noted for his holistic approach to training, focusing Team USA Minnesota head coach Dennis Barker checks the time for one of his elite runners during training. 4 on bringing together all of a runner’s “physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual resources.” Barker coaches Team USA Minnesota at the University of Minnesota track facility and crafts the training to fit each runner’s strengths and needs. His runners trust him implicitly, and the notice being taken of him in the running world attests to this. In Sacramento, Tollefson failed to qualify in her best event, 5,000 meters, but won the qualifying trials in the 1,500 meters. She has one more “trial,” however, since Olympic rules require a minimum qualifying time, which she will have to meet by early August in order to compete in Athens. Another of Barker’s runners, Katie McGregor, came in fourth in the 10,000 meters, but may reach the top three team if one of them chooses not to compete in that event. During the spring, Team USA’s training sometimes overlapped with Augsburg’s track team practices. “It’s really not much different from coaching our athletes at Augsburg,” says Barker. “All the basic things apply. I think this has really helped the Augsburg runners, because they see what these levels of athletes do, how they apply their training, and how they believe in themselves and what they can accomplish.” For the Augsburg athletes, the elite runners were an inspiration. “We often shared training time together and were able to see how hard work and dedication pay off at whatever running level you are,” said Becky Welle ’05, a member of Augsburg’s cross country and track and field teams. “Each runner is unique with different goals and expectations, and Dennis does an amazing job in challenging all of his athletes to be their best, whether they compete at Division III level or for the Olympics.” Joseph Erickson Education Beverly Stratton Religion Promotion to associate professor Nicholas Coult Mathematics Susan Nash Nursing Tenure and promotion to team associate professor Jeanine Gregoire Education and Physics Robert Groven Communication Studies Ashok Kapoor Business Administration Joseph Underhill-Cady Political Science Tenure granted Cheryl Leuning Nursing Spring/Summer 2004 Ron Palosaari retires from long tenure R onald Palosaari, professor of English, began 39 years of distinguished service to the College in 1965, when he joined the English faculty as an instructor. He obtained bachelor’s degrees in both English and divinity from Bethel College and Bethel Seminary, respectively. After three years as a pastor he returned to graduate school, completing a master’s degree in English and a doctorate in American studies with an emphasis on American literature at the University of Minnesota. Prior to coming to Augsburg, he was a college instructor in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Over the years, Palosaari successfully merged his professional fields of English and theology with an interest in society and social change. His sabbatical research in 1994 was also the topic of a lecture he presented at the Augsburg Associates’ 1994 spring seminar: “Jesus and Women.” It was Palosaari’s opinion that Jesus was a revolutionary: “He was very different from the typical Middle Eastern male of his time, an area which continues to be one of the most gender-bound regions of the world,” said Palosaari. Palosaari has remained an active member of several professional organizations and has served as a consultant for area businesses—always making use of his community contacts to enhance his teaching. He has read papers and conducted workshops at state, regional, and national conventions. In addition, Palosaari has shared his love of travel with the Augsburg community, hosting Alumni Association tours such as the “Spectacular Scandinavia” tour in 1995 in honor of the College’s 125th anniversary. He has also traveled to London on four occasions to teach drama. Palosaari has long been a favorite professor among students. He has received the Outstanding Faculty Award multiple times, an award given by graduating seniors to honor classroom teaching. “Ron Palosaari’s extensive knowledge brought to life not only literary works but the periods in which they were written, offering students a more complete sense of an author’s challenges, triumphs, and place in history,” said Kathy Fagen, an Augsburg Weekend College admissions assistant/counselor and current student. Farewell to Ginger Currey A fter working for 15 years in the Department of Business Administration as office manager and administrative assistant, Virginia “Ginger” Currey retired from Augsburg in January. Currey was the first full-time office manager in the department, the largest academic department at the College, that graduates over 200 students per year. She worked under three department chairs— Spring/Summer 2004 by Lynn Mena “Lectures were delivered with a passion that reflected his love for the academic discipline to which he devoted his life. For students fortunate enough to have taken one of his classes, this passion for literature was nothing short of contagious.” English professor Douglas Green fondly recalls Palosaari’s “Ask Ron” column in the Echo. “Ron’s column in the Echo was certainly essential to his enormous contribution to the life of the College over the years,” said Green. “In this column, he satirized just about every aspect of College life and of Augsburg’s various crises, as well as his own character, during his long tenure as an English professor.” Palosaari’s future plans include to “grow much older” and to “continue playing tennis without a backhand, bridge without a clue, and Scrabble despite being the weakest speller in the English department.” “I loved teaching students who were brighter and harder working than I ever was—and I always had some of those,” said Palosaari. “I got a special pleasure when students admitted they were starting to really like poetry, usually against their better judgment.” by Betsey Norgard Amin Kader, Milo Schield, and John Cerrito. On January 29, at her retirement reception, she was presented with a plaque that summarizes the appreciation of her colleagues. “As business department office manager, Ginger established administration procedures that each academic year set the standards for serving the needs of over 40 faculty members and hundreds of business administration students,” the plaque reads. “Over her many years of services to Augsburg College, Ginger earned the admiration of students, staff, and faculty. For 15 years, Ginger was the mainstay of the Business Administration Department. She was a dedicated colleague and a good friend.” The plaque doesn’t list the myriad other duties that Currey took on to assist the faculty, e.g., proctoring tests at the last minute, meeting visiting professors at the airport, and taking the extra steps to help students get the classes they need. Currey was also honored by the College as an Outstanding Employee in 2000, nominated by her department. Her commitment to community service included collecting pop can tabs from across the campus to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. 5 A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP AT ITS SPRING MEETING ON MAY 1, THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE BOARD OF REGENTS ELECTED JEAN TAYLOR ’85 AS THE NEW CHAIR, TO SERVE A TWO-YEAR TERM. SHE SUCCEEDS KATHRYN H. TUNHEIM, WHO IS RETIRING FROM A 12-YEAR BOARD TENURE, THE LAST SIX OF WHICH SHE SERVED AS CHAIR. TAYLOR IS A CO-CHAIR OF THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN CABINET THAT OVERSEES THE CURRENT $55 MILLION CAMPAIGN. SHE HAS ALSO SERVED AS CHAIR OF THE BOARD’S MARKETING COMMITTEE AND A MEMBER ON THE REGENTS’ COMMITTEE. OTHER OFFICERS ELECTED TO TWO-YEAR TERMS ARE H. THEODORE GRINDAL ’76, VICE CHAIR; JOAN VOLZ ’68, TREASURER; AND TRACY ELFTMANN ’81, SECRETARY. IN THESE STORIES, THE OUTGOING AND INCOMING BOARD CHAIRS SHARE PERSPECTIVES ON BOARD LEADERSHIP, GOALS FOR AUGSBURG, AND THE AGENDA FOR THE COMING TERM. A LEGACY OF INSPIRED GOVERNANCE athy Tunheim likes to say that serving as the chair of a board of a college like Augsburg is a lot more like being a shepherd than a boss. And that, she adds, has been the key to helping shape a shared governance model that Augsburg has embraced, and that she believes other colleges and universities across the nation will strive to emulate in the decade ahead. Tunheim has just completed six years as chair of the Augsburg Board of Regents during a period that has seen the College erupt from what President William Frame once termed “militant modesty,” onto the regional and national scene as an innovative, forward-moving institution. And, despite Tunheim’s own modesty in describing her leadership of the board, Frame said it has been Tunheim’s vision and leadership that can be ascribed to much of the impetus of the College’s movement. K Kathryn H. Tunheim by Dan Jorgensen “Kathy Tunheim is, in the language of one of her admirers, ‘prismatically excellent’,” he said. “That is certainly apt as a description of her work as counselor to me, especially in respect to the Augsburg 2004 vision.” Tunheim said the feeling is mutual. “Those of us serving on the Board of Regents have learned that one of the most important things a college governing board can do is to take very seriously the role we play in the selection and performance of the president. I’m proud of the work of the president and pleased by the board’s partnership with the administration. But another less visible challenge has been transforming the work of the board itself. An institution’s lifeblood is its faculty and students—management, great staff, and volunteer leadership, in general, are critical. But so, too, is effective governance. BUILDING A SHARED GOVERNANCE “During these years of my chairmanship, I feel that our board, the faculty, and the administration have come to terms with our commitment to a healthy shared governance model. It gives the board a better sense of ‘who’s in charge here?’— because now we know that at a college everybody is! Bill Frame has been masterful in helping all of us—board, administration, and faculty—understand this shared governance model. It’s what makes colleges really work; it’s unlike the governance work that occurs in business, so it’s been a great learning experience for all of us as regents.” Just prior to becoming chair, Tunheim served on the search committee that brought not only Bill but also Anne Frame to the College. “We got a wonderful, dynamic duo in the Frames,” she said. “Anne’s professionalism and understanding of the needs and functions of the school make her not only a great partner for Bill, but a great asset for this institution.” continued on page 8 6 Spring/Summer 2004 AN ALUMNA’S CALL TO LEADERSHIP Jean Taylor ’85 s the newly elected chair of the Augsburg Board of Regents, Jean Taylor, president of Taylor Corporation, brings to the seat not only a broad base of knowledge and enthusiasm, but also the valuable perspective that comes with being an Augsburg alumna—an association that distinguishes her from the past several chairs, and which clearly fills her with equal measures of pride, purpose, and calling. “I approach this opportunity not as something that I sought, for indeed I did not,” says Taylor, who received a B.A. in business administration in 1985. “Rather, I truly believe that I was called to do this. It will for me be a tremendous challenge in many, many ways. At the same time, I am convinced that it will be one of the most rewarding and enriching things I will ever do. “I believe that in the coming two years I will discover much more about my own gifts, as well as how to strengthen their use,” continues Taylor. “I am humbled to have this opportunity to return the favor to Augsburg through A Spring/Summer 2004 by Lynn Mena my leadership—this place has changed my life in so many positive ways and I will always be indebted to this college. The history of Augsburg is rich, storied, and full of successes, and I will focus my energy on making the next two years the best ever in this college’s history.” Taylor, who has served on the board since 1994, is also co-chair of Augsburg’s Capital Campaign Cabinet, which oversees the College’s newly announced $55 million campaign—Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College. During her board tenure, she has chaired the Marketing Committee, and served on both the Regents’ and Executive committees. She also holds an M.B.A. in management support systems from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, earned in 1988. In addition to her board leadership at Augsburg, she is active in a number of other community and nonprofit organizations—all while raising a one- and a three-year-old with her husband, Roger Griffith ’84, who serves as chief financial officer of the Minnesota Timberwolves and chief operating officer of the Minnesota Lynx professional basketball teams. “This is a wonderful ‘fit,’ not only from my point of view, but from our— the College’s—point of view,” says President William V. Frame. “Having Jean Taylor as the next chair feels right, seems right, and is right. “Jean has grown remarkably in management acumen during her 10 years as an Augsburg regent,” continues Frame. “This growth was recognized by her peers as a solid supplement to her notable collegiality and personal commitment to her alma mater. I am very glad of the prospect of serving with her over the next two years to accomplish the work to which we have agreed—to clarify and extend the College vision and to strengthen the integrity of the Augsburg brand.” SERVING THE COLLEGE Taylor organizes her goals as board chair under the framework of two distinct paths—those that serve the College, and those that serve the regents. “Looking at it from this perspective, I see three critical things that the College needs from me as board chair to accomplish over the next two years,” says Taylor. “One is to continue to extend Augsburg 2004 [the College’s vision document], not only in a way that supports the work that professors Mark Engebretson and Joan Griffin are doing in terms of refining that vision and taking it farther into the future. But also in terms of taking Augsburg 2004 deeper within the Augsburg community, so that as a whole we can all enjoy greater ownership and understanding of that strategy, and so that we’re able to share this strategy more broadly with our larger community. “When I talk about community, I believe Augsburg’s community has many layers,” continues Taylor. “There’s certainly the immediate and very important campus and Cedar-Riverside community that surrounds us, but there’s also the Minneapolis community, the Twin Cities community, and the Minnesota and Upper Midwest community. And I think as one considers Augsburg’s vision, we really also think about ourselves as part of the world community.” Taylor’s second goal is to steer the capital campaign toward a successful continued on page 9 7 A LEGACY OF INSPIRED GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED…) During Tunheim’s three terms as chair, the institution successfully added many new programs and partnerships, established a branch campus in Rochester, embarked on its first major capital campaign, reached new highs in enrollment at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and more fully engaged its alumni—something she has worked toward from the moment she took a seat on the board. “It should not be lost on our alumni, by the way, that up until Jean Taylor’s recent election as board chair, the past six chairs have all been non-alumni,” Tunheim said. RAISING E X P E C TAT I O N S O F AUGSBURG “When I first joined the board, I think the College was ranked lowest among the ELCA colleges in terms of alumni philanthropy. So my goal was to find a way to help change attitudes and set a collective expectation of ourselves as stewards of the school. I wanted alumni to think in terms of giving back: serving on the board, being partners in all that we needed and wanted to do. “I remember having breakfast in 1998 with the woman who was then chair of the College’s alumni association. I could clearly see she was frustrated, so I asked her, ‘What is it that you want from the College?’ Her answer was clear and immediate: ‘We want a degree from Augsburg to be more valuable in the future than it was when we got it.’ Together, I think we’ve been committed to ensuring that we create that future— and we all agree how important the College’s alumni are to making it happen.” Tunheim noted that when people look across the nation and point out the strongest higher education institutions, they are always the ones that have engaged, passionately loyal alumni. 8 “Augsburg has a lot of passionate and loyal alums,” she said, “but in the past we didn’t always find a way to engage them. But now, especially with Jean’s election, there are some great role models in terms of what alumni can and should do for their school. AT T R A C T E D B Y MISSION AND VISION “Having said that, I also want to point out that non-alums like me have seen something in Augsburg that attracted us to the mission and vision. That’s a tribute to Augsburg and its past leadership. My message about Augsburg to the marketplace is this: Augsburg College will be more important in the future landscape of higher education than it has ever been, because its strengths will serve the future needs of the community so well. But institutionally, we’re not ready to meet all the needs that will come to us—financially, or in terms of buildings and infrastructure. Our responsibility is to make sure that the College IS ready to serve as it is called to serve.” Tunheim, who is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and CEO of Tunheim Partners, a leading Twin Cities public relations firm, first came to Augsburg in the late 1980s to talk about how the College might improve its relationship with the city of Minneapolis. At the time, the city seemed to be courting institutions like St. Thomas, while Augsburg, already well-established and involved in the city, was being ignored. “I was struck by the many fine programs the College had and how little was known about them. As a professional in public relations, I was intrigued by what might be done to share that story. That’s what first attracted me to the board.” When President Charles Anderson decided to step down due to an illness, she was asked to lead the search committee for the new president, but declined initially, citing business obligations. But neither Anderson nor Barbara Gage, who was then board chair, would take ‘no’ for an answer. “Barbara told me that this is what I needed to do, that when you’re asked to do something for which you’re a good fit, you need to respond to the call.” Other highlights of her three terms, she said, were developing a better understanding and working relationship with members of Augsburg’s Corporation—the four Lutheran synods that “own” the institution; establishing the Regents’ Committee, a group that has been key to evaluating who is on the board, what their expectations are, and how new board members are recruited; and working with the president on setting a clear vision of what the College is and where it wants to go. “I was honored to be asked to serve on this board, and then to serve as chair, but I’m also extremely excited about where this College is now heading,” she said. “While other schools are working to discern their uniqueness or their future, Augsburg is already there. The light coming from Augsburg is inspiring already—I have no doubts about its strength and constancy.” ■ Spring/Summer 2004 AN ALUMNA’S CALL TO LEADERSHIP( CONTINUED…) conclusion, and third, to start the search for the next Augsburg president. “It is so critical to find the right leadership for the College,” says Taylor. “Augsburg has been absolutely blessed with incredible leadership in terms of its presidents, and I think Bill Frame has done a remarkable job during his tenure. So, we really need to establish a process to make sure that we find a new president who is truly called to be the next president of Augsburg and continue the legacy that has been created.” “And this goal is about helping board members to really understand their role and to understand more about the College, and putting each regent in appropriate leadership positions, so that not only two years from now, but five years from now we’ll have a group of regents able to utilize their talents to their highest capability.” SERVING THE BOARD Professionally, Taylor has an outstanding track record in leadership development. At Taylor Corporation, where she served first as vice president of development before becoming president in 2001, she has led several successful initiatives to revitalize and restate the organization’s core purpose and core values, formalize leadership development, alter its approach and philosophy to the role and use of information technology, and encourage and promote women in leadership roles. In 1998, CityBusiness magazine cited Taylor’s commitment to networking opportunities for women in business When Taylor looks at how her election as board chair can specifically serve the regents, she cites two main goals, beginning with a pledge to continue the work of outgoing chair Kathy Tunheim. “Kathy has done incredible things with this board,” says Taylor. “One aspect that she has undertaken that I would like to continue is to refine the governance roles at the College. I see three components to that leadership—the regents play a key role, as do both the administration and the faculty. I think there’s still critical work to do in terms of refining how these three leadership components work together—where do each of us take the lead responsibility, and where do we stand alongside the others in order to ensure that the College achieves its vision? “The second piece relative to the regents that I’ll focus on over the next couple of years is determining how we can most effectively utilize the talents of our regents,” continues Taylor. “We have an incredibly active and engaged group of regents; every time I’m in a full board meeting, I look around the room and I am just amazed and blessed that I’m sitting in this room with these incredible people whom I learn from all the time, and who put all this time and devotion into the College.

Prior to joining her father, Glen Taylor, at Taylor Corporation in 1994, Taylor was senior vice president of E.W. Blanch Co., a global reinsurance intermediary. As Taylor embarks on her two-year term as chair of the Board of Regents, it also represent her final years of a 12-year tenure as a board member. “Over the last 10 years I’ve learned so much about the history and the foundation of the College and where it came from,” says Taylor. “It’s incredibly satisfying for me to see the linkage between what the founders of Augsburg envisioned and all that Augsburg has accomplished over the ensuing 135 years—and then to witness how we’re currently extending that vision. “I am so impressed by the history of the College, and at the same time I am so excited about its future, because I think that Augsburg is positioning itself to have an even greater impact on its community. I’m incredibly proud to be an alumna of the College, and my pride continues to grow because I know that this college is just going to get better and better—our diamond is really going to shine.” ■ 9 Sports Wrestlers, track, and women’s hockey lead a solid year for Auggie athletics by Don Stoner A Division III second-place finish by the wrestling team, which tied both NCAA and school records with four individual champions and nine AllAmericans, respectively, and standout seasons for the track and field and women’s hockey teams paced a solid year for Auggie athletics.

Spring/Summer 2004 13 Faculty/staff notes Postcards from Italy During February and March in the Christensen Center Gallery, art professor John McCaffrey exhibited 34 oil paintings of the sultry Italian landscape in the show “Postcards from Italy.” The paintings are evocative recollections of a visit McCaffrey made to the country several years ago. Though small in size, the works are bold interpretations of some of Italy’s most remarkable scenery and monuments. Captured in the brushwork are narrow streets and sun-baked cobblestones of old towns, the glory of Roman ruins, and the verdant beauty of the rolling Tuscan hills. Even in these small sizes, McCaffrey’s use of light to sculpt form, establish space, and construct volume is revealed upon close observation. John McCaffrey, art, measures to hang one of the 34 small oil paintings in his “Postcards from Italy” exhibit. “Vernazza” (2004) is one of the “postcards” that brought the Italian landscapes to life in the Christensen Center Gallery during the winter.

E F Spring/Summer 2004 17 MAJOR BOWEN: a story of courage and determination by Betsey Norgard As Jean Housh (left) coped with surgery to remove a brain tumor, her strength and inspiration came from “Major” Bowen (right), whose brain tumor left him near death and in a coma. She helped direct his path to Augsburg. eople are brought together in unpredictable ways. The friendship between Augsburg freshman Edward “Major” Bowen and Jean Housh, wife of Augsburg regent emeritus Allen Housh, began one day in physical therapy at the Sister Kenny® Rehabilitation Institute, where both were recovering from brain surgery. Because of the friendship that developed from that day in the hospital, the Houshes are largely responsible for Major Bowen enrolling at Augsburg. Three years ago last January, Bowen was an All-State junior goalie on The Blake School’s hockey team. The night he and the team shut out Stillwater High School, he felt sick with what he thought was the flu. By the next evening he was fighting for his life as a tumor blocked the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through his brain. Emergency surgery to relieve the pressure, followed by another surgery a week later to remove the cyst, left him in a coma for six weeks. P 18 “The nurses told us his brain was injured like in a 60-mph crash through a windshield,” recalls Bill Bowen, Major’s father. Miraculously, on Major’s grandmother’s birthday, he began to awaken. Weighing only 95 lbs., he was unable to walk, talk, or eat. Thus began a long rehabilitation at the Sister Kenny Institute, at a clinic in Florida, at Courage Center, and at other out-patient facilities. At Sister Kenny, as he worked to take a few steps, then a few steps more, Jean Housh was also recovering from elective surgery to remove the same kind of cyst before it became the emergency that Major faced. She was undergoing therapy to regain balance, strength, and memory. Excerpts from her story about getting to know Major are on p. 20. By the fall, Bowen was able to return home, but was plagued by short-term memory loss, facial droop, and some balance difficulty. His father tells of how Rod Anderson, a former Blake teacher and hockey coach “unretired” and devoted his time to tutoring Major in the Bowens’ home. During winter semester, Bowen returned to Blake, with Anderson continuing to tutor him at the school. Bowen also began practicing Tae Kwan Do as part of his therapy, and has achieved a second degree purple belt. He is now in training to test for his red belt. Major Bowen graduated with his Blake class in June 2002, but his real achievement came earlier, during Blake’s final hockey game of the year. After weeks of incredible determination and hard work to get back on the ice, he skated out to tend the goal for the last 53 seconds as his team beat Minnehaha Academy. For this, City Pages in their 2002 Best of the Twin Cities, named him the Best High School Athlete. The following year the Bowens began exploring options for college. Sara Kyle, associate director of college counseling at Blake, suggested Augsburg. “[Augsburg] Spring/Summer 2004 for the class. is one of the best (if not the best) Bowen’s determination also impacted colleges in the nation for bright students Maurer. “One of the biggest lessons I with learning and/or physical learned from Major,” Maurer said, “is to challenges,” said Kyle. “I thought it never give up. … I think Major’s refusal would be a natural place for Major to to stop until he had accomplished his continue his education.” She connected best can be inspirational to us all.

Spring/Summer 2004 enunciation. While her story speaks to the strength she gains from Major, Bill Bowen says that Major thinks Jean is “one of his angels.” It’s clear that Bowen could not have succeeded at Augsburg without the CLASS program and without faculty and staff who became entirely engaged in helping him learn, as they also learned from him. Even outside of class, in one small but significant gesture, President Frame relinquished his reserved parking space to the Bowens so that Major’s shortterm memory loss could not prevent him from always knowing exactly where their car was parked. “Augsburg has been a wonderful experience for me,” says Major. “Each professor has been different, but also the same in being caring, kind, and understanding. They have each also been demanding, requiring me to work hard, complete my assignments on time, to push myself, and to learn the subject matter. Professor Don Gustafson worked with me extensively to become more self-reliant, to trust myself, to think, and to respond. I can never thank him enough.” ■ 19 A M A J O R I N S P I R AT I O N I owe my life to a young m a n n a m e d M a j o r. H e is a guy I’d only heard about in the neurosurgeon’s office. I was being examined and scheduled for brain surgery. But I had the luxury of setting a surgery date, calling family to Minneapolis to help out and bracing myself beforehand. Major, however, did not. According to my neurosurgeon, the 17-year-old hockey player was nearly brain dead the January night he was brought to Children’s Hospital. Imagine playing goalie for your hockey team and near death one day later. I couldn’t. … Eager to read all I could about my condition or anyone else who’d experienced it, I combed back issues of the Minneapolis Star Tribune sports section at the library until I found it. There it was in bold type across five columns of the January 9, 2001, sport page. ‘Blake Goalie Faces Surgery for Brain Tumor.’ Edward “Major” Bowen was his name and his story would change my life. … I wish I could say my surgery was easy. Although I did not feel a thing, my family and friends suffered greatly. It is only through God’s grace and mercy that I am here. … One cold March day [at Sister Kenny Institute], I saw the name Major Bowen handwritten on a label of a headrest on a wheelchair. Could it be the same Major Bowen? I wondered aloud to [my husband] Allen. If he’s here, I have to meet him. After all, he is the reason I went ahead with my surgery. I asked Matt, my OT therapist, if that was Major Bowen, the hockey player. Yes, it was, but due to confidentiality concerns, I couldn’t just walk up and start talking. Matt had to arrange it for us after getting Major’s parents’ approval. The next day, I was introduced to Major, and his parents, Bill and Pat. … The common denominator between Major and me was the same colloid cysts in our brains. A rare and benign tumor, colloid cysts reside in the third left ventricle and restrict the flow of cerebral spinal fluid. In my case, it caused considerable swelling and chronic headaches. by Jean Spielman Housh Major, however, experienced no warning signs or headaches. … After six weeks in Children’s Hospital, Major was released to the Sister Kenny Institute for therapy and rehabilitation. That’s where our paths finally crossed. I was a bit tentative about meeting him. I was concerned his parents might measure me against their son’s progress. Boy was I wrong. I have never been so warmly received. Behind Major’s wheelchair in the computer lab at Sister Kenny Institute, Major’s dad, Bill, shook my hand and thanked me for initiating our meeting. “It’s nice to know someone who had the same surgery as Major and who’s come out so well,” he told me. I tried to tell him that his son was my inspiration. Tears rolled down my face and I couldn’t get the words out. “I cry a lot,” I told him. He smiled, knowing exactly what I meant. Around the corner came Major’s mom, Pat. Awkwardly I began my story again. Lost in my tears were all the words I’d hoped to say. Words like ‘thank you for your son. Thank you for being such loving parents. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet my life’s inspiration.’ … During a follow-up visit last year, Dr. Nagib’s nurse practitioner, Therese O’Fallon, told me, “One day, maybe not soon, but one day, you’ll look back on this surgery experience as a gift. Some good will have come from it.” Brain surgery—a gift? Yeah, right. I brushed it off. But today, more than two years later, I’m beginning to see what she means. God has given me a gift of true inspiration in Major. Through him and my surgery, I’ve learned patience, determination, and what family really means. Today, the balance of good days and bad days clearly tips toward the positive. I’ve recovered most, if not all, of my short- and long-term memory. Although, I still lose my car in the Target parking lot and often have trouble remembering how many strokes I had on the golf course. Major and I read Lance Armstrong’s book It’s Not about the Bike last summer. We read it aloud to one another to improve our enunciation. Armstrong’s story of victory over cancer and winning the Tour de France is an inspiring and powerful one. But one no less inspiring than Major’s story of faith, courage, and strength.

While Ingwald Rosok may not have received a diploma in the spring of 1895 when he left Augsburg, Monica Dahle marched proudly across the stage in spring 2004. Dahle is a senior at Molde University College in central Norway and came to Augsburg as part of International Partners. This program, based on reciprocal agreements between Augsburg and European institutions that offer the equivalent of bachelor’s degrees, allows students from both Europe Norwegian student Monica Dahle stands in front of Old Main, built just three years after Ingwald Rosok, another student from her hometown, attended and Augsburg to take part Augsburg. of their study program at Ingwald Rosok, who attended partner schools.

For her internship, she learned about an agency in downtown Minneapolis offering a needle exchange program, and applied to work there. Her tasks included meeting with drug addicts, homeless people, and prostitutes—work and issues she had never encountered. “I learned so much,” Dahle said, “about nonjudgemental attitudes, about how to treat clients, and about the U.S.” She had not expected the level of culture shock she experienced. Her biggest challenge was language. Dahle said the people who came there often used street slang, but that she simply asked them what it meant. She loves to work with people, and dreams of finding similar ways to work with drug addicts in Norway. During spring semester, two events stood out for Dahle as highlights. In February, when Augsburg hosted the Peace Prize Festival for schoolchildren, she was one of two Norwegian students who greeted and escorted special guests Gro Harlem Brundtland, former prime minister of Norway and director general emerita of the World Health Organization; and Knut Vollebæk, Norwegian ambassador to the U.S. 22 The second highlight was participation in Augsburg’s commencement ceremony. In Norway, college graduates are hosted at a dinner, but without the pomp and circumstance of an American ceremony. Because of the reciprocal agreements between colleges, International Partners students are granted special permission to participate in Augsburg’s graduation.

Dahle has her four-hour final exam to finish at Molde University College. Then she hopes to work for a year or so before possibly returning to the U.S. and Augsburg for a master’s program. ■ RETROSPECT: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY By Ingwald Andreas Rosok Edited by O.M. Norlie; copyright 1957 by I.A. Rosok. Minneapolis: Lund Press, Inc. 16 ATTENDING AUGSBURG We called on the Norwegian grocer. He advised me to go to Augsburg Seminary, which, at that time, was not only a theological seminary but also a college and an academy. It was a Norwegian Lutheran church school and was located in the block between Seventh and Eighth Streets, and between Twenty-first and Twenty-second Avenues South. I went there, and they took me and accepted my check without any question. … As already stated, Augsburg Seminary had three departments: The Preparatory (Academy) Department which took two years to finish; the College Department which took four years, and the Theological Department which took three years, a total of nine years. When this was completed one was ready to be ordained as a full-fledged Lutheran minister and to be assigned to some congregation as its pastor. The professors that year were: George Sverdrup, president; Sven Oftedal, vice president; John H. Blegen; Edward Hovde; J.L. Nydahl and T.S. Reimestad. When I told them what previous schooling I had had, I was assigned to the second preparatory class. It was a very good school and I enjoyed it very much. It certainly was much better for me than working in the woods in Wisconsin. I studied very hard, never missing any classes and spending all my waking hours in my room doing my homework. I started school at Augsburg Seminary December 7, 1894 and attended until April 13, 1895 when my money was all gone. Spring/Summer 2004 SEEING ABILITIES instead of disabilities Seeing the abilities of people rather than their disabilities has given Cilje Nybord Mosand a dream and a plan, which she has taken back to her native Norway this summer. Mosand, a social work student in the International Partners program at Augsburg, interned during the spring at a non-profit organization called Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, based in Minneapolis. Interact, a multidisciplinary arts center for adult artists with disabilities, features a large art studio and public gallery, rehearsal and performance space, a fulltime faculty of professional artists, a performing arts training program, and a theater company. Mosand was so impressed with Interact that she hopes to start a similar organization in the Scandinavian countries. “We have nothing like this in Norway,” Mosand said. “This has been such a wonderful experience. You don’t see the disabilities of these people, rather the abilities they possess.” During her internship, Mosand assisted the professional artists who work with the disabled artists in all aspects of the theater, from writing the script and by Judy Petree music, to acting. She even took part in the theater performance, playing the part— aptly enough—of a young woman named “Celia,” who is Norwegian. “We really liked having Cilje here,” said Eriq Nelson, performing arts instructor at Interact. “She gave our ‘artists’ individual support and always had time for listening to them. Many times the staff doesn’t have this kind of time.” Nelson added that when Mosand first came, they envisioned her as support staff, doing odd jobs such as filling out paperwork. But, she became so involved with the artists the original plans quickly flew out the door. “We have a large Norwegian population at the center and some have even been to Norway on tour, so they were excited about Cilje being from Norway. She liked being with the artists and they liked being with her.” Nelson said it was also fun to watch Mosand grow during her internship. “We even got her to be a part of the show. It was fun to see Cilje embrace that side of it. She was always willing to do whatever was needed to be done. She’s missed.” Actually, this is not Augsburg’s first encounter with Interact. A few years ago, education professor Susan O’Connor Top photo: At Interact, Cilje Mosand supported and worked with artists with disabilities, and joined them to perform in their production. Spring/Summer 2004 introduced Karl-Johan Johansen, an instructor from Sør Trøndelag University College in Trondheim, Norway, and Per Frederiksen, with PROFF, an organization serving people with disabilities, to Interact while they were visiting Minneapolis. As a result of that visit, Johansen and Frederiksen secured funding in Norway for a group from Interact to travel to Norway and Denmark to give performances. The artists that went on this tour were the same ones who formed a bond with Mosand. “What fascinated me about Interact is it’s so diverse,” Mosand said. “The mix of people from a rainbow of ethnic, age, and disability groups gives one the impression of being in an inclusive Garden of Eden.” The artists help the community understand that gifts are given to all people, Mosand said, and that vision is not lost nor even impaired by a disabling condition. “There are no superiors, inferiors; no staff versus clients. There is only the collegial mix of diverse people who are all focused on the same goals—the creation of beauty, the making of art.” ■ Judy Petree is media relations manager in the Office of Public Relations and Communication. 23 A QUICK CONNECTION PROM DRESSES TO by Judy Petree Stephanie Quick’s passion for working with children and youth, especially those who struggle with lives of poverty and abuse, has taken her to a place far from her Midwestern roots in Mendota Heights, Minn.—to Nome, Alaska, a place so beautiful it’s hard to imagine life could be anything but ideal. Quick, a 2001 Augsburg graduate with a major in youth and family ministry, is currently working on a four-year Master of Divinity degree at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. She is in year three of seminary, which consists of an internship. Beauty surrounded by poverty The road to Alaska and her internship at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Nome came after she was accepted into a special ELCA program called Horizon. This program offers 22 unique internship sites across the world, including cross-cultural ministry, mission start congregations, and others at rural, urban, and international sites. Quick said that many of these sites, including her current one, cannot afford a second pastor, and provide excellent learning opportunities. Quick said Nome is a beautiful place, surrounded by ocean and tundra. She has seen wildlife from bears to reindeer to seals, eaten a variety of Eskimo foods including Eskimo ice cream (berries mixed with reindeer fat), muktuk (whale blubber), black meat (seal), reindeer, caribou, dried fish, greens, and herring eggs. But, she added, the stark reality is that all of this beauty surrounds a town plagued by alcohol abuse and poverty. “While this town of 3,000 people is in a unique setting, it is also very sad. You can find only two small grocery stores, yet the street is littered with bars and liquor stores. Alcohol abuse is a terrible factor in the community.” In fact, Quick said, it has gotten so bad that alcoholism in Nome and surrounding villages has nearly Above: Stephanie Quick, Class of 2001, is destroyed the Native American (Eskimo) traditional lifestyle. “Sadly, as a pastor, you hear using her seminary internship to work with many stories of family violence, sexual abuse, young people in an impoverished Nome, and substance abuse. There is so much tragedy here it is almost unbelievable.” Alaska church. She brought joy to the high Quick is called to many areas while serving school girls there, as 60 prom dresses she as an intern pastor. Some of her duties include preaching, leading worship, teaching, pastoral collected from family and friends back counseling, home visitations, serving as home were donated for Nome’s big dance. chaplain at the local jail, eating lunch with elders at the senior citizen’s center, and holding 24 Spring/Summer 2004 worship service at the nursing home. However, there is one area where her passion is strong. Quick is concentrating her efforts on working with youth in Nome, even starting a youth group at the congregation, which now draws more than 25 youth. “I have formed some pretty strong connections with some of the high school girls,” Quick said. “These girls have confided a lot of things to me. Recently they told me they couldn’t go to the prom because they couldn’t afford a dress.” While the town is plentiful with bars and liquor stores, Quick said there is not a clothing store to be found. The only way for these girls to get a dress would be to spend $343 on a plane ticket to Anchorage or make a dress. “None of these girls can afford a prom dress let alone fly to Anchorage to buy it. And many of the girls are being raised by their grandparents who just don’t have the time to make a dress.” Quick came up with an idea and she quickly enlisted the help of her sister, Rachel, who is a junior at Augsburg; her parents; and her hometown congregation, St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in West St. Paul. “I thought, well, I still have my prom dresses, so I called up my mom and asked her to send them here. Unfortunately, she had just given them away to the Goodwill, but my sister, Rachel, still had hers.” Rachel was more than happy to not only ship her prom dress to Alaska, but to send out a campuswide e-mail asking others for their dresses and other prom accessories, such as shoes and purses. When Quick’s pastor at St. Stephen’s found out what she was doing, he made an announcement in church. Her plea was so successful, she received 60 dresses, the majority coming from Augsburg and St. Stephen’s Church in West St. Paul. After the shipment arrived in Nome, Stephanie Quick opened up a “Prom Shop” in the church basement. The ladies’ sewing circle at Our Savior’s Church volunteered to make alterations on the dresses. Quick said the girls were Spring/Summer 2004 “thrilled” with the dresses. “I’m really proud of my sister,” Rachel said. “She is such a kind person and she’s really grown attached to these girls in Nome. She was able to give them something we take for granted—a pretty dress and a really special night.” Quick said she wanted to do this for the girls “simply because I care about them, and feel that their opportunities shouldn’t be limited just because of their finances.” Reaching out Quick followed her passion and calling one step further when she volunteered to travel to a remote village in the wilderness, without running water or plumbing. She spent 10 days in a place called Shishmaref, a tiny island Eskimo village located 20 miles south of the Arctic Circle. The village is entirely Lutheran and is the northernmost ELCA congregation. Most people there still speak their native language of Inupiaq. Quick said the pastor there had resigned in the fall, and it has been difficult to even get an interim pastor, much less a permanent pastor. It is a very rustic place with honeybuckets for toilets and Ladies in Our Savior’s Lutheran Church snow or rainwater for volunteered their time to alter the drinking water. The only donated dresses for the girls. place to shower is at the “washeteria,” which costs money, she added, so obviously people don’t shower much. The roads are all dirt and the houses are primitive. Children, she said, run around very dirty, many visibly with lice. The town is filled with flies, and garbage and raw sewage leak from bins. “It looked straight out of a ‘Save the Children’ commercial,” Quick said. “It was a moving experience just driving down the street.” The only modes of transportation, she added, are fourwheelers; snowmobiles, which the Alaskans call snow machines; and dog sled teams. “I had some amazing visits with the people there,” Quick said, “including a group of elders who showed me some of their sewing. It was a neat experience sitting on the floor watching the Eskimo women sew things like slippers, mukluks, and Eskimo yo-yos out of seal 25 A QUICK CONNECTION TO PROM DRESSES skin and reindeer fur.” Quick’s love and passion for children took center stage there as well, in this remote village. She said the children were excited to see her and she organized many youth activities for them, including baking for elders and confirmation classes. Some days there were more than 50 children that showed up in the basement of the parsonage, which is used for a youth center. “We had a Sunday School turnout of 75 children which is great considering there are only 600 people in the village.” The church services were similar to the ones she helps out with in Nome, part of it being in their native language and part in English. “I have to brag a little that I’m doing quite well on the Inupiaq. The elders tease me that I am becoming an Eskimo!” Quick said because of the lack of a pastor or interim pastor, she was given special permission by the bishop and seminary to administer the sacraments. She presided over Holy Communion and performed her first baptism. The baptism, she added, was especially moving. “I had asked a woman in the congregation to present the candle and recite a special verse. She has cerebral palsy and told me she has trouble reading, so when she came up, she had the verse memorized. It was moving and a true moment of grace.” Augsburg’s transforming education Quick credits the encouragement she received from faculty and staff in the religion department while she was a student at Augsburg for steering her toward the path she is now following. In particular she remembers a lecture she heard about being called to serve God. “I still remember that lecture, and that confirmed my call from God. I began to look for a place to serve the church and I felt not only an internal call to the ministry, but an external call to serve God.” Quick said she wasn’t sure at that point what direction in ministry she wanted to pursue, but she loved the Youth and Family Ministry program and being involved in Campus Ministry, so that excited her about ministry with families. Quick will return to Chicago in the fall to finish her education. Where she will go from there is still a question, but she has many goals, one being a pastor in an inner city church working with families, children and youth; another opening an orphanage or working at an existing one, perhaps in Thailand; or even teaching religion, “especially if it was at Above: A stitch here and there to the Augsburg!” donated dresses made the high school “The education I received at Augsburg helped shape my life in a very positive way.

DR. SHIRLEY ANN JACKSON DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS A graduate pays homage to her home state by taping a cutout of Texas to her mortarboard. Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, president of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, spoke at the 2004 Augsburg College Commencement ceremony Saturday, May 1. It is said that Jackson has a “career distinguished by many historic firsts.” Jackson, a theoretical physicist, holds a Ph.D. in theoretical elementary particle physics from M.I.T. and an S.B. in physics from M.I.T. She is the first AfricanAmerican woman to receive a doctorate from M.I.T., and is one of the first two African-American women to receive a doctorate in physics in the United States. Jackson is also the first African-American to become a commissioner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and is now the first woman to lead a national research university. Jackson has held senior positions in government, as chairperson of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); in industry and research, as a theoretical physicist at the former AT&T Bell Laboratories; and in academe as a professor at Rutgers University. While at the NRC, Jackson represented the United States as a delegate to the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria. Among the number of professional organizations Jackson belongs to, she is president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Physical Society.

Spring/Summer 2004 Following are excerpts from Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson’s Commencement address; read the complete address at <www.rpi.edu/web/President/speeches/augsburg.html> … A simple message from my own father has always motivated me. … He always would say to us: “Aim for the stars, so that you will reach the treetops, and at any rate, you will get off the ground.” In other words, if you do not aim high, you will not go far. He also believed that it was important to help somebody else along the way. I have taken my father’s advice throughout my career, and woven it into a common thread with three basic strands. They are excellence, leadership, and community. It was Aristotle who said, “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” After all, if you are going to spend precious time doing something, why not do it well? And, when you do things well, it becomes your habit. Secondly, leadership is a fundamental responsibility we all own. … Leadership encompasses a clarity of vision, an understanding of the broader context, as well as the articulation to share that vision with others. It takes perseverance, and requires very hard work, but an effective leader sets an example by working hard, by being ethical, and by inspiring others to do the same. … The final strand is community. What I mean by community also might be termed inclusiveness. In the global community in which we live, inclusiveness is key, because it is the estrangement of individuals, or of groups, or of peoples, or of nations that is responsible for the divisiveness that haunts us—that makes the world a more dangerous place. … Optimism also is part of my father’s legacy. As a result, I am determinedly optimistic about the future. Optimism and hope are contagious. … Indeed, it is a force for change, and it can move people to take positive action. … So, give generously. Aim high. Lead with your gifts. Stay positive. Look forward. Do not be discouraged. Lead with optimism. Challenge yourselves. Find joy in everyday life. If you do all of these, I am confident that you can lead us to a future of peace, a future of greater safety, security, and health for all—a future in which hope prospers, and love and service guide us. Now is your time. Be that future, and you can change the world.

While I was thinking about all of this, we received the sad news of the death of Augsburg’s President Emeritus Oscar Anderson. It was a quote included in a newspaper article that sparked more thinking about connections. In 1983, while speaking about liberal arts education, Anderson said that students needed to be as familiar with Captain Ahab in Moby Dick as with the computer HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey. “The computer is an extension of the brain, not a substitute for the mind.” To me, this really tells us that as we become more proficient in maintaining the technological connections, we should remember that it’s the fostering of deeper relationships that make people want to stay involved in the life and future of Augsburg. It’s the difference between being brain-connected and being heartconnected. Like family members who grow up and move away, we hope our students will leave us wanting to stay involved in what goes on at this place. We hope this relationship begins with the very first impression a high school junior gets as he or she is led around campus, and with each stop increasingly thinks, “This is the place I really want to be.” Or, when a full-time nurse or a stayat-home mom hangs up the phone, excited about the prospect of finishing college after receiving lots of encouragement from an admissions counselor. Once students are on campus, they discover many opportunities to forge this kind of relationship—with classmates, with athletic teammates, with professors in classrooms and labs, with academic advisers, and with people they meet as they explore the world off campus. Each year at Commencement, we send off our graduates confident that they’ll take their learning in directions that bring meaning to their lives. We fervently hope they stay in touch. After that the connections become more tenuous. Work and family life take over, and again we hope that somehow Augsburg fits into their careers and activities. This summer issue of the Now speaks to this whole process of building Augsburg relationships and keeping the “family” connected. You’ll share the excitement of the 600 graduates we sent off in May with Augsburg diplomas. You’ll be encouraged to return to campus for Homecoming festivities to catch up with old friends and connect with our current students. In the feature stories, you’ll meet bright, young music scholars who have graduated and followed their hearts and talents to places far and near. You’ll also meet students and faculty in our Mathematics Department, and learn how math studies and career exploration go hand-in-hand in a very personal process. And, you’ll read about some very remarkable donors to our Access to Excellence campaign—both Augsburg alumni and others—who are committed to building exceptional opportunities for future students.

Frame, who has served as president of Augsburg College since the summer of 1997, has announced plans to retire in the summer of 2006 following completion of his current term. In letters to regents and colleagues and in a talk before a gathering of staff and faculty on the campus, Frame said that he and his wife, Anne, have found the work both rewarding and demanding, with the principal rewards being a deeper understanding of the Lutheran idea of vocation and of the educational regimen that it requires. He saluted faculty, staff, regents, and other supporters of the College as “true partners” in his presidency. “Our work together has helped us draw Augsburg to new levels of recognition for advancing the cause of Lutheran higher education in the city and in the global society of the 21st century,” he said. “Together, we have brought new life and utility to Luther’s idea of vocation, and have organized our general education curriculum and now our graduate programs around this grand idea of the ‘called life of service.’ “Augsburg plays a unique role in the world of Lutheran education. Its service to the city, to the provision of accessibility to first-class educational opportunities for both traditionally-aged students and working adults, and its regard for faith and reason as interactive and mutually reinforcing modes of understanding gives us a special mission which you have helped us to see and pursue. No doubt my successor will rely as heavily upon your counsel and support as have I.” Jean Taylor ’85, president of Taylor Corporation and chair of the Augsburg Board of Regents, said she expects the search for the new president to occupy most of the next year. She has appointed H. Theodore Grindal ’76, partner in the law firm of Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P. and vice-chair of the Augsburg board, to lead the search. Frame, who is the 10th president in Augsburg’s 136-year history, said that while much has been accomplished, he expects his final year to be filled with projects and opportunities. Among those is his continuing work on the College’s $55 million Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College, kicked off in April 2004. Some $41 million has been raised toward that goal, the largest in the College’s history. Prior to joining Augsburg, Frame was vice president for finance and operations at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash. He has been a strong proponent of William V. Frame the tradition of Lutheran higher education, which he believes is based on the ideas of vocation and service and requires ongoing dialogue between faith and reason. His advocacy for vocation also has led to his national leadership among college presidents, currently serving as project director for the Council of Independent Colleges’ program designed to guide both current and prospective presidents in reflection about each leader’s sense of calling and its intersection with institutional mission. He also has taken leadership roles with the Minnesota Private College Council—as chair during the 2004-05 academic year—and the Minnesota Campus Compact. A L U M N I A S K E D T O S U B M I T N A M E S O F P R E S I D E N T I A L C A N D I D AT E S The Augsburg College Presidential Search Committee is continuing to seek names of potential candidates for the presidency and especially wants to hear from Augsburg alumni, parents, and close friends of the College during this process. Names of suggested candidates should be sent to Dr. Thomas B. Courtice of the Academic Search Consultation Service, Washington, D.C., who is assisting with the search. Nominators or prospective candidates may contact Courtice at <[email protected]> or at 614-405-9209. 2 Summer 2005 David Tiede named to first endowed chair D avid Tiede, president of Luther Seminary for 18 years, has been named to the Bernhard M. Christensen Chair in Religion—the first endowed chair in Augsburg’s history. Known as one of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s preeminent theologians and educators, Tiede was selected following a nationwide search by the College. He earlier had announced his intention to retire from the Luther presidency in May 2005. His appointment to Augsburg begins in the 2005-06 academic year. The chair honors Bernhard M. Christensen ’22, the seventh president of Augsburg College and Seminary from 1938-62 and a central figure in drawing Augsburg fully into the study of liberal arts. Augsburg Seminary was later merged with Luther Seminary. In announcing the selection, Augsburg President William V. Frame noted, “David Tiede is a champion of the Augsburg ideals of vocation and service to the city. These ideals, along with Augsburg’s increasing attention to its role as a college of the church and in a global society—including the formation of a new Center for Faith and Learning under the auspices of our Lilly Endowment grant—were keys in attracting him to this new position.” As the Christensen professor, Tiede will carry out research and writing, including focus on Christensen’s legacy and work. He also will lecture and conduct on-campus workshops, represent the College at various events sponsored by the Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Fund, work with Augsburg students who have been designated as “Lilly Scholars” and who have demonstrated an interest in studying for ministry, and will seek ways to strengthen the College’s ties to key Christian leaders and communities. In accepting the position, Tiede noted, “Since the days of President Bernhard Christensen, Augsburg College has had a vision of academic excellence for the sake of vocation in the world. Summer 2005 Now faculty, graduates, and administrative leaders are bringing renewed focus, discipline, and strength to this vision. I am grateful the Christensen Chair will allow me to join them in helping make it happen.” Inez Schwarzkopf, former Augsburg regent and chair of the College’s Christensen Endowment Fund Committee, said Tiede graces the Christensen chair with a wide reputation as a scholar, a leader, and a churchman. “We are delighted that he has accepted this new challenge,” she said. “At the same time, the appointment honors Dr. Tiede by association with Augsburg’s solid legacy of scholarship, Christian spirituality, service, diversity, and ecumenism as embodied in the life and work of Bernhard M. Christensen.” Christopher Kimball, provost and dean of the College, who co-chaired the search committee with Schwarzkopf, said, “Tiede provides the College with a voice in the national conversation about the importance of church-related—in particular Lutheran—higher education. So, we are fortunate to have someone of that stature join the faculty.” Tiede’s teaching career began in 1967 as a summer instructor in Greek at Harvard Divinity School, where he became a teaching fellow in New Testament in 1969. Ordained in 1971, he served as associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Minneapolis, from 1972-75. In June 2000 he was elected vice president of the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the U.S. and Canada. Two years later, he was elected president of ATS. He serves on the board of directors for In Trust magazine. Courtesy of Luther Seminary Augsburg News Service David Tiede, retiring president of Luther Seminary, is Augsburg’s first Bernhard M. Christensen Professor of Religion. Tiede earned the B.A. degree from St. Olaf College, attended Princeton Theological Seminary, and received the B.D. degree from Luther Seminary in 1966. He earned the Ph.D. degree from Harvard in 1971 and began his career at Luther that same year, teaching New Testament, his specialty. In addition to ten books and textual notes, he has written dozens of scholarly articles and book chapters, done a number of audio and video productions, and served on numerous boards and committees for the church, in national and international religious organizations, and throughout the Greater Twin Cities. For the past three years he has been the initial chair of the new consortium, Faith in the City, composed of seven Lutheranbased organizations working collectively and with others to contribute to the wellbeing of the community.

Crockett will be on sabbatical leave during spring 2006 and return in the fall to teach in the Honors Program and computer science department. “His vision for the Honors Program has shaped its curriculum and the intellectual lives of its students,” said academic dean Barbara Edwards Farley at the April recognition gathering. “Establishment of the Honors Suite gave students a place to call their own; and Larry’s work on the Honors Web page and contributions to the National Collegiate Honors Council have brought the College national recognition,” she continued. For several years, Augsburg’s Honors Program Web site was the top-ranked honors page at both Google and Yahoo. Christopher Kimball, provost and dean of the College, said that Crockett “cares deeply about ideas, particularly those that should shape and be shaped by a liberal arts education.” Kimball recalled a conversation in which Crockett lamented that faculty only gather to take care of questions of governance and legislation, and no longer to converse about ideas. “We never talk about the important stuff,” Kimball recalled Crockett saying. “Those are the things that got all of us into academia.” Crockett’s teaching crosses disciplinary boundaries—computer science, philosophy, history of science, theology, and history. He has served in the clergy of the Lutheran church, and is currently a priest in the Episcopal church. Both former and current students testified to the impact that Crockett’s sometimes unorthodox, but always challenging, teaching made in their education. Erica Huls ’01 recalled the first day of Honors 101 when students were asked to 4 Staff photo C Larry Crockett catches up with former Honors Program students Erica Huls ’01 (left) and Stephanie Lein Walseth ’00 (right) at the reception honoring his leadership and service to the program. count the ceiling tiles in the classroom, before pondering why it was that people don’t sit around all day doing that. She said that Crockett’s goal was to teach them how to think, to make and defend arguments, and to find fallacies in others. “The program wanted us to look at subjects like religion, science, and technology, and see how they could live and work together, just as they live and work together in Dr. Crockett’s person,” she said. Senior Eric Dunens spoke about community. “[Crockett] created a program that surrounds its participants with the best Augsburg has to offer. He’s created an honors community that challenges its participants to reach their potential. He’s also created an honors community that encourages students to interact with other students and create a real community on campus.” Crockett participated on the Honors Program Design Team to develop a new proposal for the Honors Program. The proposal was approved by the faculty, and Crockett has worked with the team implementing the program, along with Robert Groven, the new Honors Program director. Bob Groven named Honors Program director Augsburg News Service R obert Groven, associate professor of communication studies, has been named to a threeyear term as director of the Honors Program. Groven holds a Juris Doctorate from the University of Minnesota Law School and a Master of Arts in speech communication from the University of Minnesota. He is a 1989 graduate of Concordia College-Moorhead, where he participated in the honors program in humanities. Groven, who has been a member of the faculty since 1997, also is director of Augsburg’s award-winning forensics program and has led it to national prominence in recent years. In announcing the appointment, Christopher Kimball, provost and dean of the College, said, “Dr. Groven’s philosophy of education, his vision for an honors program education at Augsburg, and his commitment to student development and community building make him an excellent choice to assume leadership of the program.” Kimball noted that an Honors Program Council will be established this year to work with the new director to guide the development of the recently revised program. Kimball said that the Honors Program—as noted in its operational statements—both celebrates and enhances the signature elements of Augsburg’s Core Curriculum: Christian vocation, global citizenship, the importance of service, the value of diversity, and the role of the city in framing the College’s beliefs and values. About 115 students participate in the program each year. Summer 2005 Making room for mental illness P rofessor Dan Hanson’s family has struggled for a decade to understand and care for their mentally ill son and brother, Joel. The road has been difficult and, at times, seemingly hopeless. Hanson has transformed that journey into a book that aims to give hope and support to countless other families who also never expected to find themselves in this situation. At age 20, Joel Hanson was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia, and believes that he is God. He lacks the insight to understand why others can’t share his delusion and why he must inhabit his different reality alone. If he discontinues his court-ordered medication, he stops eating and drinking, and becomes severely ill and dehydrated. Dan Hanson explains that his book, Room for J: A Family Struggles with Schizophrenia, evolved in several ways. The simplest is that it started out as a personal journal. “Writing is often my way of dealing with difficult situations,” he says. “[My books] always emerge out of my own struggle.” As Hanson and his wife, Sue, sought care and support for Joel, they also began to consider a book that would help other families navigate the social services system, as well as deal with the sense of loss for a loved one who has become a totally different person. And, thirdly, Hanson wanted to include Joel’s own voice, his own writing about his self-identity, to demonstrate how he, too, Professor Dan Hanson struggles with family and others who don’t acknowledge or understand him for the person he believes he is. The book presents journal entries of the Hanson family members. They talk about good times, even during Joel’s illness, when the Joel they know shines through while out fishing or playing with a nephew. But there are also the most difficult times, when they fear for Joel, when he becomes psychotic, when they must confront him to force commitment, or when they discover he’s gone off medication and disappeared. What the Hansons and other families learn and face is that society does not deal adequately with mental illness. Many institutions and asylums were closed in order to mainstream the mentally ill into society, but the reality is that the programs by Betsey Norgard and support to accomplish this are severely underfunded and understaffed. Some end up reinstitutionalized in nursing homes, prisons, or state hospitals not designed to treat them—or they end up on the street and helpless. Ultimately, Hanson says, Room for J is about making room for Joel in the family, as well as challenging society to make room “for all our Js, and to find ways to do a better job of providing community-based programs that integrate people who cope with severe mental illness back into the community so they feel respected, yet are given the right kinds of program to survive and even thrive in the social structure.” Room for J has been welcomed and critically acclaimed. It was recognized as a “highlighted title” on an independent publisher’s Web site. Hanson appreciates hearing from others who find comfort in understanding that they need not face their challenges alone. Dan and Sue Hanson spoke about the book and insights the family has gained on Minnesota Public Radio’s “Speaking of Faith” program on July 17. That program can be heard at <speakingoffaith. publicradio.org>. Room for J: A Family Struggles with Schizophrenia was published last year by Beaver’s Pond Press. Augsburg gains a provost and three new deans Christopher Kimball Summer 2005 Barbara Edwards Farley Ann Garvey Julie Olson Last September, as part of a restructuring of the College administration, Christopher Kimball became Augsburg’s first provost, as well as continuing as dean of the College. In further changes to the Academic and Student Affairs division, three positions of dean were created. Barbara Edwards Farley became academic dean, while Ann Garvey is now dean of students. Formerly, both positions were associate deans. Julie Olson ’98, ’05 MAL , formerly director of the Enrollment Center, is the new dean of enrollment management, with responsibility for the Enrollment Center; day, weekend, and graduate admissions; and public relations and communication. 5 Around the Quad Music therapy celebrates past, present, and future by Jessica Brown F aculty, alumni, and friends of Augsburg’s music therapy program gathered in April to celebrate its 30th anniversary. They reflected on the growth of the program, affirmed a leading role for music therapy across many careers and vocations, and proposed a vision for its continued growth. The original vision for music therapy at Augsburg was that of longtime music department chair Leland Sateren ’38, who asked Prof. Robert Karlén to attend a national conference in this emerging field. Karlén was impressed, and invited Roberta Kagin to teach the first music therapy courses. She was eager. “As a college student,” she said, “I saw a demonstration by a talented composer and pianist who asked handicapped children to walk across the room to the beat of her piano music. If music had the power to influence the way these children could move, what else might lie in its power?” Today, Augsburg’s more than 100 music therapy graduates live around the world and work in a wide variety of careers and fields that serve people of all ages and needs—working with disabled children to maximize their learning potential, helping elderly people remain active and engaged, and combining music with many forms of treatment and therapy to promote healing and wellness. Keynote speaker Cheryl Dileo, from Temple University, recounted personal experiences from her career in which music therapy is introduced in situations of death and dying, i.e., of aiding people in the transition from life to death. Where communication can be difficult among family members, Dileo says, “songs help families express all the love they hold in their hearts to the dying patient,” as well as provide spiritual affirmation, healing, and a musical legacy. Speaker Bill Bowen spoke personally about the value of music therapy to 6 people with physical and cognitive challenges. He told of the instrumental role that music therapy and Professor Roberta Kagin played in the remarkable progress of his son, Edward “Major” Bowen, following surgery to remove a brain tumor. Kagin, honored as one of the original architects of the program and its current director, presented a slide presentation and oral history of Augsburg’s music therapy program and affirmed its place in Augsburg’s curriculum. “The music therapy major is firmly and without apology steeped in a liberal arts education,” she said. Students study a four-year liberal arts course, followed by an intense six-month internship with a music therapist. Above all, music therapy touches a very basic human need for creative expression. Kagin also spoke about music therapy within a Center for Creativity and Transformational Learning envisioned at Augsburg. In addition, a master’s degree in music and medicine is under consideration.

He joined the PA program in 1995 as clinical coordinator, having spent several years prior as a physician assistant in the military. Lewis received his initial PA training in 1977 from the U.S. Army/Baylor University PA Program in Texas. He went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in 1983 from Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich., and his Master of Physician Assistant Studies in 2002 from the University of Nebraska. “Terry and I [joined Augsburg] when this program was new,” says Dawn Ludwig, PA program director. “Terry’s wisdom has been invaluable to me as this program was molded into the premier program it is today. … He is a kind and patient person and I will miss him greatly.” Over the course of his career in the physician studies field, Lewis has received numerous honors and awards, including the U.S. Army PA of the Year in 1990, presented by the surgeon general, as well as 40 additional military honors. He has presented numerous presentations around the world, and his work has been published in several PA reference works.

Each year, this honor is presented to the graduating senior who best exemplifies Augsburg’s motto “Education for Service.” The student must have demonstrated a dedication Tony Schaden, a history major from to community involvement as Minneapolis, was honored with the 2005 characterized by the personal and Marina Christensen Justice Award during the Commencement ceremony. professional life of Marina Christensen Justice, who courageously and effectively reached out to disadvantaged people and communities. Schaden grew up in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood and was a member of Trinity Congregation, where he has been a longtime volunteer with the Safe Place Tutoring Program. At Augsburg he has held numerous leadership roles, including serving as chaplain for the Pan-Afrikan Student Association for the past two years, as organizer of Peace Day in the Park, and as a member of the Outreach Ministry Team through Campus Ministry. He has done service-learning at Women against Military Madness, as well as volunteered with Campus Kitchens and mentored youth at the Wednesday Night Out program in the neighborhood. Among his numerous awards and honors are the Dean’s Award for student leadership, the Pan-Afrikan Ambassador of the Year Award for commitment to campus and community, the Win Wallin Scholarship, and the Bilkie Scholarship. Paul Cummings, president-elect of Augsburg’s student body, wrote this about Schaden: “Giving back to the community is part of Tony’s very nature. The courageous example he is setting within his community and family has given many people hope that they too may succeed in college. Tony is a role model in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. His actions in service to his family and community speak volumes about his true character.” In the coming year he will expand his work with youth mentoring and counseling, serving in Brazil and Africa under the auspices of the Wapagasset Luther Bible Camp.

Frame, President, Augsburg College May 7, 2005—Ascension Sunday … The thing that Graduation has in common with the Ascension is separation. You are leaving us today and are henceforth and in a new way “on your own;” Jesus leaves the Disciples at Ascension. They are “on their own.” And so—What is the good news in this Separation—either yours from the College or the Disciples from Christ? Staff photo The Commencement concert featured performances by the Augsburg Choir and Augsburg Chamber Orchestra. If we stick with the relationship between you and us, a preliminary and happy interpretation is quite possible. Not that we’re glad to be rid of you … but your separation from the College is a necessary condition of your full engagement with the world. However successfully we have introduced you to the city and to the global society of which it is so much and evidently a part, Augsburg College remains a refuge and a training ground, a harbor ringed round by our core general education curriculum; an open cloister in which we can talk “… of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—of cabbages—and kings … .” All that talking, and especially about such things as these, yields self-knowledge at exactly the rate at which it yields knowledge of the world. … But when we turn to the Easter Story itself, the good news lies deeper and is harder to detect. According to the lectionary passage from Acts, the first consequence for the disciples of their separation from Jesus is the loss of their special access to the Divine Plan. They ask: “Is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” Jesus responds: “It is not for you to know the time or period that the Father has set by his own authority.” Kathy Rumpza, advertising and graphic design manager for Augsburg’s public relations department, posed with her husband, Matt Rumpza, manager of Augsburg’s Central Support Services, prior to receiving her Master of Arts in Leadership. You can sense their stunned reaction. “After giving up everything of our own to follow you; after all that we've been through together-you leave! And at the same time cut us off from the very knowledge you’ve been so anxious to reveal to us. You've left us on our own in this world after pointing us time and again, especially recently, at the other world.” Before they have time to register this complaint with their ascending Lord, he imposes upon them a task—to be performed in his absence. For the sake of this task, he expects them “to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” … Both the good news and the good sense in this is camouflaged by the pathos of the separation. Just behind the fact that the disciplesand, through them, we—have been left on our own by the ascension, lies the fact that we were prepared for this independence by the whole of the Easter story—including the part of it here at issue. Christ’s refusal to answer the disciples’ request for knowledge of the Divine Plan—indeed, his general refusal to give us any detailed portrait of heaven-keeps our attention where the Gospel focuses it-not on the next world but this. The Easter story—all of it, including the ascension-gives us the tools (including a carefully confined ignorance) to take up, for the first time, life on our own.

Nicholas Schumm, Weekend College Class of 2005 representative, addressed the crowd at the Commencement ceremony. Following are excerpts from Parker J. Palmer’s Commencement address; download the complete address at <www.augsburg.edu/president/palmer05.pdf> … I was raised by a father who gave my two sisters and me the perfect graduation speech at breakfast every school day. Dad had a thousand aphorisms, brief and pithy sayings designed to point us kids in the right direction. Well, it seemed like he had a thousand, but he probably only had 50, which he recycled constantly. We’d be almost finished with breakfast, my sisters and I, when Dad would look at us and say, “Just remember kids, add a little ‘oomph’ to ‘try’ and you get ‘triumph.’ Now off you go!” Or on another day he’d look at us and say, “Just remember kids, there’s only one-letter’s difference between hero and zero. Now off you go!” … Now, if I had any sense I’d say “Off you go!” and sit down, having delivered succinct advice from a highly reliable source, my father. But there are a few more things I’d like to say … First, we never outgrow our need for teachers … as you go down the road called life after college, stay alert for your next teacher, and the next, and the next. It may be a family member, a friend, a child, a stranger, it may even be a socalled enemy. If the teacher does not appear, reach out for him or her. Your need for a teacher will draw that person to you if you make your need known. … A second lesson is this: whatever good and true thing you want to do, go ahead and take the first step … of course the big enemy of trust and risk-taking is fear. But here we can take good counsel from the religious tradition in which this college is rooted: “Be not afraid.” Those words do not say that you should not have fear, which we all do (at least I do); instead they say you need not be your fear. Right alongside our fear we have other places within us, places with names like hope, and faith, and trust. We can look at the world from those places instead of from our fears. … Here’s the third lesson: when you face into that fear as you step off the cliff … seek out people with whom you can tell it like it is. … A fourth lesson is this: know that you have an inner guide, an inner teacher, a true self who will be there for you when all else fails. … And finally, a fifth lesson … “If you can’t get out of it, get into it.” Of course there are some things that you can get out of, and you should: a relationship that kills your spirit, a job that contradicts your most basic values … but there are other things that we can’t get out of, so we had better get into them. And one of them is to fully inhabit ourselves, which means making the most of our gifts and being honest about our shadows. … So congratulations to all of you, and many blessings for your journey. And, as my father would surely say, “Now off you go!” Parker Palmer (center), Commencement ceremony keynote speaker, was presented the Augsburg Medal by President Frame and Jean Taylor ’85, chair of the Board of Regents. 14 Summer 2005 Staff photo THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE Twin brothers Robert Amaya (left) and Renzo Amaya Torres (right) celebrated the day with their mother, who flew to Minnesota from Colombia to watch her sons graduate. 630 Candidates for graduation 355 Day program candidates 144 Weekend College candidates 85 Graduate program candidates (20 Master of Arts in Leadership, 35 Master of Social Work, 6 Master of Arts in Nursing, 16 Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, 8 Master of Arts in Education) 33 Rochester program candidates 9 United Hospital candidates 4 3M candidates 20-65 10 Jubilant students celebrated after the Commencement ceremony.

All-American his senior year. He also was a two-time Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion, and twotime MIAC Tournament Most Valuable Player. In dual-meet competition, he lost only one match during his career and had 53 victories his junior and senior seasons. In 1996, he was inducted into the Augsburg Athletic Hall of Fame. He credits the discipline instilled in him by his coaches and mentors, particularly Mike Good ’71 (a current Augsburg regent) and John Grygelko (Augsburg’s head coach from 1973-80), as keys to his success. Good preceded Kennedy at both Fridley High School and Augsburg where he, too, was a champion wrestler. He went on to a successful business career in New York and has served on Continued on page 19 16 Dean Kennedy ’75 shared a moment of honor with his wife, Terry, when he was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996 for his career as an Auggie AllAmerican wrestler. Thanks to the generous gifts from Augsburg alumni and friends, the ceremonial groundbreaking for the south wing addition is scheduled for Oct. 29. Ground cannot be broken, however, until the remaining $1.5 million in gifts and pledges is secured. Contact the Development Office at 612-338-0002 or 1-800-273-0617. Summer 2005 David Santos/H. Larson Photography A former All-American wrestler and his wife have contributed $2 million to Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College in support of a major addition to the College’s athletic center, Si Melby Hall. The gift, made by Fridley natives Dean Kennedy ’75, and his wife, Terry, was announced recently by Augsburg President William V. Frame, who said the gift not only is “a magnificent gesture of support for the campaign, but also significant recognition for the work of coaches and others who shape the lives of those of our students and colleagues who are engaged in athletics.” Kennedy, an independent businessman, was the first four-time AllLutheran Tournament champion in the tournament’s history. And he was at the front end of what has been built into the most successful small-college wrestling program in the nation. In his senior year as co-captain, Kennedy led Augsburg to a runner-up spot in the NAIA national finals with a third-place finish at 142 pounds. In the ensuing 30 years, Augsburg has consistently finished among the top 10 in the nation, winning a record nine NCAA Division III national titles and taking second place seven more times. A four-year varsity wrestler for Augsburg, Kennedy was a 142-pound The Augsburg Fund annual goal of $1 million reached again Significant growth in alumni giving to The Augsburg Fund made an aggressive goal of $1 million reachable for the fiscal year ending May 31. The annual fund primarily supports student financial aid through scholarships and grants. Since this is unrestricted annual giving, gifts also may be used to provide for the critical needs of the College such as technology advancement and other strategic operations. “This is the second time in Augsburg’s history that $1million has been raised in one year for The Augsburg Fund,” said Stephanie Malone, director of the fund. “The standard has been set, so it should be an achievable goal in the future.” Significant giving this year came from the Alumni Board with 100 percent participation, the Board of Regents, and two class challenges generated by Alumni Board members and volunteer leaders, including the “Decade of the ’70s Challenge.” Ken ’74 and Linda (Bailey) ’74 Holmen provided the lead gift to the challenge, followed by more than 200 fellow alumni from the decade of the ’70s. Five alumni families from the 1970s—Rick Colvin ’74, Mark ’79 and Pamela (Hanson) ’79 Moksnes, Robert ’74 and Andrea (Johnson) ’75 Strommen, Philip ’79 and Julia (Davis) ’79 Styrlund, and Thomas Peterson ’70—issued a $50,000 challenge and 1:1 dollar match to ensure new levels of support and gifts of $100,000 to the College. “The Decade of the ’70s Challenge was a dollar-focused challenge that matched new and increased gifts to The Augsburg Fund,” said Malone. “We are pleased with the results and hope that next year other individuals will come forward and think of creative ways to sustain the College. “It was a highly successful year in terms of participation levels. First time donor giving rose 100 percent, and alumni giving increased from 20 percent to a participation rate of 25 percent.” Repeat and increased giving also were noticeable. All donors at the $10,000 level renewed their gifts, and new donors were added to the $25,000+ level, currently the top tier for gifts to The Augsburg Fund. Reunion year activities and volunteer involvement this year also sparked the growth of annual giving, led by Alumni Board initiatives. Class agents, who engaged their classmates through letters and contacts, were also extremely beneficial in helping to meet annual fund needs. “We will especially miss the efforts of class agent Wes Sideen ’58 who passed away earlier this year,” said Malone. He affected many Augsburg families by his vigor for life and commitment to his alma mater.” Giving to The Augsburg Fund is an important component of the $55 million capital campaign, Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College. “We hope alumni and friends of the College will continue to make The Augsburg Fund a priority,” Malone said. “We hope they continue to offer prayers and gifts of support and that the first gift they make every year is a gift to The Augsburg Fund as a way to ‘check in’ annually with their alma mater,” she continued. “After that we hope they will consider special opportunities based on the College’s priorities, like building and endowment initiatives. Gifts to Augsburg offer a future of access and excellence to our students.” For information on how to contribute to The Augsburg Fund, contact Stephanie Malone at <[email protected]> or 612-338-4825. ■ Campaign progress $41.1M of $55M goal as of 7-31-05 Summer 2005 17 What is your dream job? For many of us, travel would play a part in our dream. The Reverend Dr. Arne Markland ’49, and his wife, Jean (Swanson) ’52 Markland, have lived their dream of seeing the world. Their gift for storytelling has landed them on the lecture circuit for a number of cruises—162 and counting. Arne first starting working on cruise ships as a chaplain and history lecturer and has amassed a repertoire of 156 lectures on countries and islands around the world. Jean shares her knowledge and expertise of how nutrition affects the brain. They have acted as destination art lecturers and have been fortunate to collect art on their travels. Their cruise travel has taken them mainly overseas. “We’re waiting to cruise to Sri Lanka, India, Havana, New Orleans, and Lake Wobegon,” said Arne. The Marklands have spent their lives encouraging people to enthusiastically embrace learning. Since graduating from Augsburg, Arne became a campus and parish pastor in Georgia, South Dakota, and Utah. He also served as a military chaplain for four years. Jean used her skills as a teacher and taught many different subjects in the public school system as a secondary school educator for 30 years. Recently the Marklands established an endowed scholarship to help support students who want to attend Augsburg from two high schools: Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in Fergus Falls, Minn., and Oak Grove Lutheran School in Fargo, N.Dak. Arne grew up in the Norwegian section of Brooklyn, N.Y., but his parents sent him to Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in Fergus Falls for high school. Jean is from Bemidji, Minn., and has had an interest in Oak Grove Lutheran School. The scholarship is structured so if there are no students accepted to Augsburg from these high schools in a given year, the scholarship will be given to a current Augsburg student who will attend Luther Seminary or one who has an interest in secondary education. “We have always been interested in Christian education,” said Jean. “I liked the spiritual values of Augsburg when I was attending college. Augsburg has Courtesy photo Marklands endow a scholarship as they cruise into retirement Rev. Dr. Arne ’49 and Jean (Swanson) ’52 Markland are enjoying second careers as cruise ship lecturers while staying connected with Augsburg through an endowed scholarship. always stressed the values of serving and giving to others.” Perhaps like the Marklands you want to make student dreams a reality. After all, 85 percent of Augsburg’s students receive financial aid and scholarship support. Contact the Development Office at 612-338-0002 or 1-800-273-0617 to offer encouragement and significant financial assistance for students. ■ Ellingers support Science Center through student-faculty research Albert Einstein’s words, “It is high time that the ideal of success should be replaced by the ideal of service,” reflect the giving spirits of Patricia (Olson) ’71 and Mark ’71 Ellinger. The Ellingers, both biology majors at Augsburg, have enjoyed success in their careers and are now giving back in ways that will serve others. 18 Last year, they established an endowment, the Ellinger Faculty Scholar, to provide support for faculty research to include student collaboration. “We really appreciated how the research program was developed,” said Pat. “It is our way to support the new Science Center and faculty research because of the positive experiences we had at Augsburg.” “We were both drawn to Augsburg because of the strong science and biomedical programs and its Lutheran heritage,” continued Pat. Mark, who transferred to Augsburg during his junior year, echoed that: “I had a deep and continuing interest in the relationship of Summer 2005 Dean and Terry Kennedy, continued Augsburg’s board for the past three years. Just out of college in 1971, Good convinced Kennedy to come to Augsburg and then coached him his freshman year. Grygelko was Kennedy’s coach for his final three years. “I was fortunate to be on the varsity for four years and take my lead from good leaders who remain my lifelong friends,” Kennedy said. “It was such an important part of my life at the time, and it molded me and shaped my values as a person. “Terry and I have been blessed to be in the position to do this. We’re doing it for Jeff Swenson ’79, Mike Good, John Grygelko, and all the outstanding young men for whom the Augsburg wrestling program has meant so much. And now that we’ve thought it through and made the commitment, we’re feeling very good about it, both of us.” Swenson is current wrestling coach and assistant dean for athletics and recreation. Kennedy said he is a great admirer of Swenson’s coaching, but more importantly how he has shaped his team members into outstanding men who excel in the classroom and in society. “Augsburg has done a very good job in working with its student-athletes. I took great pride in the program when I was there, and 30 years later I’m still able to take pride. When I was at this year’s national tournament (in Northfield, Minn.) I was very impressed by Jeff’s work with these young men. They were articulate and, even with all their success, very humble. I attribute that to Jeff and his coaches. “You see a lot of successful ‘sports’ programs, but you don’t hear them talk about their graduation rates or inclassroom successes. But you do hear that at Augsburg. This is a college that teaches its students how to think critically and care about the world. I wanted to be supportive of that.” Kennedy said he also was spurred into making his gift by an earlier gift science and religion, which continues to captivate me.” Both of them enjoyed learning in smaller classes and taking a wide array of liberal arts in addition to the required biology courses for their majors. Taking Professor Robert Herforth’s Developmental Biology course influenced Mark significantly: it’s where he and Pat met, and it convinced Mark to pursue a Ph.D. Pat has never regretted following a career in medical technology suggested by her chemistry professor Courtland Agre. She went on to specialize in blood banking and obtained a master’s degree in health education. For many years both Mark and Pat Ellinger have mentored students about the importance of science careers and research. The Ellinger scholarship will further those efforts; and for its first recipient, biology professor Mark Strefeler, it will provide enhanced resources for his research and support for a student assistant. Summer 2005 made by Twin Cities wrestling legend Alan Rice—a non-Augsburg alum who donated $1 million to the campaign just a year ago. Kennedy said he had long known and admired Rice, and when he saw that kind of commitment from him, he knew that he, too, needed to step forward to insure that good facilities were available for future generations. The goal for the new facility is about $5 million, and nearly $4 million has now been raised. The College hopes to bring in the last of the money by fall and have a ceremonial groundbreaking soon thereafter. “I hope that Terry’s and my gift will not only spark interest in other generations of Augsburg athletes whose lives have been shaped by the College, but also by Augsburg alumni in general in support of the many other important projects, such as the new Science Center, that will serve so many students in so many different ways,” Kennedy said. ■ The Ellinger Faculty Scholarship has supported the collaborative research of biology professor Mark Strefeler and student assistant Andrea Carlson ’05. 19 Seed family endows StepUP to affirm others SM Adam Seed’s life changed when he attended Augsburg. “It took Hazelden and Don Warren, former StepUP SM director, to jumpstart me,” said Seed. “Don Warren saw my potential and made me believe in myself. He was always available to me and the other students.” Seed was one of the first students in Augsburg’s StepUP program, which supports students in recovery to achieve academic success. Now it’s Seed’s turn to share his passion for the program and offer his unique insight as co-chair of the StepUP Alumni Board. “His leadership, wisdom, and strong recovery are necessary assets for the Alumni Board,” said Patrice Salmeri, StepUP director. “I want to make a connection with others and come up with unique solutions to common problems,” Seed said. “I’d also like to help re-establish alumni connections and contribute to the decisions concerning StepUP’s present and future. StepUP is a major part of who I am today and its health and possibility for the future are very important to me. Augsburg’s part in my Vision is published by Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454. Editor and Writer Lynn James Contributing Writer Dan Jorgensen Graphic Designer Kathy Rumpza www.augsburg.edu/campaign 20 Jim and Adam Seed development was crucial. It’s my hope that students take the opportunity to get uncomfortable and grow in areas that typically don’t occur naturally.” Seed’s family also continues to be involved with StepUP because of the impact it had on his life. In 2003 the Seed family received the Toby LaBelle Award as the StepUP Family of the Year. Recently, they showed support for the program by answering the Parent/Family and Friend Challenge. “By endowing the StepUP program— both as a physical and financial resource—we hope to create more certainty for its future,” said Jim Seed, Adam’s father. “We appreciate what was available to Adam and to others. I’d also like to commend [President] Bill Frame on his dedication to this program and to Augsburg,” said Jim. “I appreciate the commitment and loyalty to the program shown by the Seeds,” said Salmeri. “Since its inception in 1997, when Adam was in the class of founding students, the program has grown from 23 students to 53 students. Our new home, [the] Gateway [Building], will house 84 students.” “The original model for the StepUP program evolved over the last eight years,” Jim Seed said. “Young people are living in a small community and supporting each other. Prior to StepUP it was something that was impossible for them to do on their own. It’s a transformational environment where students break through the memories of failure and then come back into that environment. “It’s a wonderful program. It will be affirming and visionary if this program is constructed and transported to other colleges and universities. StepUP is a paradigm for life. As a collective group we have to help each other.” ■ GATEWAY CONSTRUCTION FURTHERED BY CHALLENGE GIFTS Thanks to the generous support by the Seed family and others, StepUP’s Parent/Family and Friend Challenge met its goal. The challenge, set by Jim Johnson in the spring of 2004, raised $425,000 toward construction of the Gateway Building that will house the StepUP program. Johnson, a former CEO of Fannie Mae, likes the urban village concept of the planned mixed-use office/retail/residential Gateway Building. He also appreciates the collaboration between the University of Minnesota and Augsburg, with both institutions serving the neighborhood and addressing needs for retail and housing. Johnson has been supportive of education and a strong proponent of higher education. At Augsburg, Johnson honored his mother, Adeline (Rasmussen) ’31 Johnson, by establishing a scholarship in her name. Summer 2005 FINDING THE RIGHT CAREER F O R M U L A by Betsey Norgard TRYING OUT THE OPTIONS Senior Jennifer Geis has shaped her own career goals in just this way. She came to Augsburg having been turned on to math in the eighth grade and having studied two years of college math as a postsecondary student. But, she really didn’t have a career focus, and hadn’t even settled on a math major. After two years of Summer 2005 Staff photo S On one of the first nice days in spring, students in Professor Rebekah Dupont’s (second from left) class enjoyed solving their math problems outside on the Quad. Stephen Geffre tudying mathematics can open doors to increasing numbers of varied careers and jobs for students. Often called the “language of science,” mathematics provides a structure and the tools to solve many kinds of problems, especially within the increasing complexity of today’s sciences and technology. In the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2002 Jobs Rated Almanac, eight of the 10 “best jobs”—biologist, actuary, financial planner, computer-systems analyst, software engineer, meteorologist, statistician, and astronomer—all require complex understanding and interpretation of numbers. Even more telling of how mathematics is becoming “cool” is the popularity of the new CBS-TV show, Numb3rs, in which a mathematician helps the FBI solve crimes through mathematical modeling—constructing formulas to reveal patterns and predict behavior. Using mathematics as a complementary skill to a variety of disciplines makes it a valuable second major or minor. Augsburg students combine math with physics, computer science, biology, psychology, economics, as well as music, English, Spanish, and religion. While some students know they want to pursue a degree in mathematics, many students generally don’t enter Augsburg intending to major in math, or even to study it. So, how does the mathematics faculty help students sort out the possibilities for math in liberal arts, for teaching, for research, for graduate school, and for using math in both theory and application? “We encourage them to pursue opportunities for out-of-class experiences such as community service, undergraduate research, paper presentations, and internships,” said department chair Rebekah Dupont. “Then, as part of our advising, we talk about what they liked best, and what perhaps they didn’t. “Our focus is really on helping students to activate their potential by connecting them to opportunities they might not have known about.” Senior Jennifer Geis has taken advantage of internships, tutoring, and research to help her pursue a career in statistics. mathematics courses at Augsburg, she knew she was hooked. “When my professors realized I was spending more time in the math department than anywhere else, they encouraged me to improve my teaching and tutoring skills,” said Geis. She began assisting with grading and tutoring in calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and courses for non-majors. It was a course in actuarial science that really sparked her interest and led to her work with Professor Ken Kaminsky on the textbook he had just completed. While giving the textbook a trial run in one of his classes, Kaminsky asked Geis to help him proofread, review the ease of layout, and 21 Stephen Geffre Stephen Geffre Professor Ken Kaminsky tried out his new textbook with classes over several semesters, and tests his math cartoons with the readers of Augarithms, the bi-weekly department newsletter.

Kaminsky encouraged Geis to pursue a double major in mathematics and actuarial science, which she is able to do through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium, allowing students to take courses at four other private colleges when they’re not learned how to communicate clearly and how to explain myself carefully.” This summer, she left the business world to accept a research internship in statistics at North Carolina State University, funded through the National Science Foundation. This gives her an introduction to the wider application of statistics than actuarial science offers. Mathematics major Tim Bancroft, who is now at Iowa State University T E A C H I N G Mathematics professors Tracy Bibelnieks and Matthew Haines usually focus on helping college math majors head to graduate school or other careers. Recently, though, they have spent considerable time together with education specialists across the country studying the mathematical knowledge needed by college students who are preparing to become teachers. This is important because everyone is learning mathematics differently now than how it was taught years ago—even only five years ago. Starting in early grades, children begin playing games with numbers—tossing pennies and making charts to learn about probability, for instance. In each succeeding year, their classroom learning builds on and expands the knowledge and skills they already have. It means that elementary teachers need to develop a deeper understanding of numbers than just how to add two 22 available on the home campus. Geis put her skills into practice for a year as an intern at Allianz Life Insurance. She became part of a team implementing a major, new actuarial reserving system and feels fortunate to have been given a role and responsibility. Plus, she learned more. “Some of the most important things I’ve learned working at Allianz have nothing to do with math,” she said. “I’ve M A T H E M A T I C S T O numbers, or divide, or multiply. High school calculus teachers must understand how their students learned mathematics as they progressed through the grades—how their thinking developed and how they communicate mathematical concepts. Bibelnieks and Haines focused their research on mathematics content for students preparing to be elementary teachers who have neither a strong background in math nor an interest in teaching it. Already, together with Augsburg’s K-6 mathematics education specialist Linda Stevens, they’ve made content revisions in two mathematics courses. It has been a more difficult assignment than they imagined. “How you teach pre-service teachers [education majors] is different from how you teach somebody who’s going on to graduate school in math, says Bibelnieks. “You have to go out of your comfort zone T E A C H E R S and learn what it means to be an elementary teacher in some sense.” Bibelnieks, Haines, and Stevens received Minnesota State Education Department funding to work with current teachers on acquisition of content knowledge in mathematics and its application to classroom learning. An in-service workshop first focused on mathematics content; Bibelnieks, Haines, and Stevens then advised the teachers during the school year in class activities. The project goal was to develop a “professional continuum,” in which knowledge gained from current teachers informs how future teachers learn, who then go into the field, etc. This summer Bibelnieks and Haines presented papers at an international conference in Brazil outlining Augsburg’s new curriculum as well as Haines’ participation in a wider longitudinal study looking at where education students learn their mathematics. Summer 2005 Staff photo working on a master’s degree in statistics, was able to enter graduate school with solid research experience. He took a project from his Discrete Mathematics Structures class with Professor Su Dorée and developed a research project in combinatorics, which studies the arrangement of objects. For the cointrading game called Bulgarian Exchange, Bancroft took results from the solitaire version of this game and generalized the patterns and repetitive cycle of twoperson play. Together with Dorée, Bancroft presented his research at a national mathematics conference. Stephen Geffre Tim Bancroft began grad school with solid research and presentation skills from a project he carried out with Professor Su Dorée involving prediction of patterns in a coin-trading game. S T U D E N T S AT T H E CUTTING EDGE Professor Tracy Bibelnieks considers herself an applied mathematician, which in her words involves “using theoretical mathematics in innovative ways to solve rich business problems.” She previously worked as a consultant, applying mathematics to the analysis of huge customer databases to help companies address problems or maximize revenue in their marketing and promotional strategies. Bibelnieks is seeking to develop partnerships with local firms that would provide benefit to both the business world and to her Augsburg students. She is looking for rich business problems and projects that will engage students in research beyond the standard classroom theory and models. The mathematical theory involved has to be exacting and validated—risky for a company to undertake—but invaluable for students wanting to get their feet wet in the field. The research generated by such a business/academic partnership gives students an edge as they look for career opportunities in the marketplace. Moreover, it may give the business an edge in the marketplace through the development of new tools, techniques, and solutions for a wide range of business problems. In September, Jennifer Geis begins to work with Bibelnieks on a business partnership research project. Geis is excited because it will require her to learn more about applied mathematics in the business sector, including the use of programming and software, that will hopefully give her that extra edge as she pursues an advanced career in statistics. ENGAGED STUDENTS Professor Tracy Bibelnieks is developing business partnerships to provide problems and projects for students to research and gain experience in applied mathematics. Summer 2005 The mathematics department makes it easy for students to feel connected to R E A D P I — T H R O W P I E ! On 3-14 (March 14, that is), students in Unbounded, Augsburg’s math club, hosted a pi(e) fest, in honor of Pi Day. The event benefited Augsburg's “Ride the Wave” tsunami relief project. From noon until 3:14:15 p.m., students took turns reading the digits of pi— 24,401 at final count. Also, faculty and staff signed up to be “pied,” i.e., to have a whipped-cream minipie tossed at them for a donation— the larger the donation, the closer the pie subject would stand. faculty. Several years ago, a study room was set up in the department to encourage students and faculty to get to know each other. Students spend time there using the telephone or computers, or researching something in the small library. “I practically live in the math suite with the workroom and the study areas,” said Geis. “It’s great just having the professors there. They come in to eat lunch and help you through your homework right then and there.” Dupont adds that it also encourages a supportive environment in which upperclass students can help newer students. The department also brings students together in bi-monthly colloquia where they meet professionals in various fields of mathematics, learn about applications, and hear research presentations. Often the presenters are Augsburg alumni who enjoy keeping in contact with their former professors and getting to know current students. Augarithms, the department’s biweekly newsletter, complete with department news, colloquia information, puzzles, and even math cartoons provided by editor Kaminsky, keeps the department in touch. All of this is to encourage students to connect what they learn in classrooms 23 K E E P I N G A L E G A C Y A L I V E T H E G E O R G E S O B E R G S C H O L A R S H I P Professor George Soberg graduated from communicate to our students that we Augsburg in 1926, and then spent the think they show real potential in next four decades of his life teaching mathematics.

Last year, Dupont and other faculty and staff from Augsburg attended the Engaged Department Institute in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Related Fields. Co-sponsored by Campus Compact and 3M Corporation, the institute aimed to help departments develop strategies to include communitybased work in both their teaching and scholarship and to seek ways to integrate service-learning, community-based research, and civic engagement into the curricula. For example, one of the first-year mathematics courses last fall that was part of the Augsburg Seminar student orientation included service-learning at the Cedar-Riverside Community School. Augsburg students worked with the elementary children to create a store, helping them understand what kinds of data they needed to make decisions about stocking the store, setting prices, etc. All in all, the department seeks to encourage students to explore the possibilities and to help them understand what it means to be successful in the sciences. It’s part of introducing them to the notion of vocation—helping them discover the opportunities within their own interests and abilities. Bibelnieks talks about helping them open doors, which they can leave behind if they wish, but supporting them toward success, not failure. For Geis, it’s made the difference. “All my professors have encouraged me to try things I didn’t think I could do,” she says. “I didn’t think I could get my internship this summer, but I was accepted. I didn’t think about pursuing a master’s or Ph.D. in statistics, but here I am prepping for my GREs. It’s been a lack of self-confidence, and they’ve always encouraged me to push myself from the limit to the next level, and I think that’s the most important thing.” ■ For information about Augsburg mathematics, go to <www.augsburg.edu/ mathematics>. Summer 2005 Music after Augsburg R FOLLOWING THE HOGNANDER SCHOLARS by Jessica Brown adio variety shows … opera … film scores … high school teaching … music education outreach … electronic music … jazz composition … Augsburg’s Hognander Scholars are out making their marks in music around the world. In 1998, the Orville ’36 and Gertrude (Lund) ’36 Hognander Family Fund was established to support Augsburg’s music department. Principally, it establishes the Hognander Scholars, juniors and seniors who receive merit awards for exceptional music performance and academic achievement. The award is based on a résumé, essay, and audition. Here is an update on the Hognander Scholars, now Augsburg alumni, from the past seven years. Stephen Geffre Aaron Gabriel ’00 (below), tenor, graduated with majors in both English and music performance. He is now director of cultural arts at the Sabes Jewish Community Center in Minneapolis, where he supervises the music, theatre, dance, art, literary, and cinematic arts programs. Center Playhouse, the youth theatre program he created does six productions a year and includes a Holocaust outreach program, touching 3,000 middle school age students; a classics series for teens interested in classic playwrights; and two summer musical theatre institutes based on the Wesley Balk training he received at Augsburg. In addition, Gabriel performs regularly with a number of local Twin Cities theatre companies, including the Minneapolis Musical Theatre, which won the Star Tribune Best Small Theatre Award in 2004 for Bat Boy, a musical in which Gabriel played five characters. Qiuxia (Hu) Welch ’99, French horn, was “recruited” to Augsburg by Professor Emeritus Robert Karlén, who met her while teaching at the Sichuan Summer 2005 Conservatory in China. After Augsburg, she studied in the graduate program of the University of Minnesota School of Music and has spent three summers teaching high school horn and performing at the Kendell Betts Horn Camp in New Hampshire. She and her husband, Kevin, are moving to China for several years to continue their teaching and performing careers. Chiho Okuizumi ’00 (above), euphonium, earned an Augsburg degree in music therapy, but also pursued an instrumental career. At Montclair State University she completed a master’s 25 FOLLOWING THE HOGNANDER SCHOLARS degree in euphonium performance, and she continues to play in the New York metropolitan area. She is currently pursuing a second degree at Montclair State University in music therapy. Okuizumi directs the REACH (Resources for Education And Community Harmony) program for the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and produces orchestra concerts throughout the state. As a one-person production unit for the NJSO, she manages 120-150 concerts each year, serving 20,000 people. Jaime Kirchofner ’00, oboe, has carved out a busy performance and teaching career since graduating from Augsburg. She plays second oboe in the St. Cloud (Minn.) Symphony and regularly appears with the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra, Amadeus Symphony, Great River Chorale, Minnesota Center Chorale, and chamber groups throughout central Minnesota. She currently has 40 piano and oboe students. Nicole (Warner) Simml ’01 (left), mezzo-soprano, has performed for audiences in the U.S. and abroad. In her junior year at Augsburg, she brought home top division honors in a regional voice competition. After graduating, she completed a master’s degree in classical voice from the Manhattan School of Music and moved to Germany. In December, she sang Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. “Without overflowing emotion, [Simml] convincingly uses the opportunity to sing unpretentiously and stylefully,” read a German newspaper in translation. 26 She is also an active member of the Gächinger Kantorei under the direction of Helmuth Rilling. She teaches voice and piano, and conducts a small community choir. Anna Brandsoy ’01, soprano, studied in Germany at the Mozarteum and the Münchner Singschule with Edda Moser on a scholarship from the Voices of Vienna. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota where she has performed in numerous operas. Last December, she won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, South Dakota Region. Joe Tucker ’01, piano, is director of instrumental music at Como Park High School in St. Paul, where he has established an orchestra program which now boasts 40 members, has expanded the band program to two ensembles with a total of 85 students, and has led ensembles to top honors at state contests for four consecutive years. From Augsburg, he earned a master’s degree in music education from the University of Minnesota. He was recently recognized as an “outstanding teacher” in the 2005 edition of “Who’s Who in American Teaching.” Brendan Anderson ’02 (top right), saxophone and composition, made a name for himself as a composer even before leaving Augsburg. In his senior year, he led the Augsburg Choir and Concert Band in the premiere “I Believe,” his interpretation of the Apostles’ Creed in word and music. The work was later performed at the Crystal Cathedral in California during the Concert Band’s spring tour in 2003. In the past two years he has completed coursework in the UCLA film scoring program, and been commis- sioned to compose an arrangement of part of the Lutheran liturgy, as well as a piece for the Lutheran High School of Orange County (Calif.) Handbell Ensemble and Hollywood Brass Ensemble. This spring Anderson was nominated for Best Original Score at the 168 Hour Film Festival in Pasadena, Calif., for his score to the short film, Picket Guy. He lives in Arizona and works in the administrative offices of the Phoenix Symphony while continuing to compose both concert and film music. Lindsay Bonner ’02, soprano, sang in the Augsburg Choir, performed with the Gospel Praise ensemble, and appeared on the theatre stage. In 2002, she studied on scholarship at the Wesley Balk MusicTheater Institute and performed with Nautilus Music-Theater. For two years she has been in Austin, Texas, where she is a featured performer with the Lillian Kaufman Radio Drama and teaches voice lessons at Westlake High School. Bonner has also performed on Eklektikos, an Austin Public Radio variety program. Daniel Luedtke ’02, piano, is exploring the potential for creative expression Summer 2005 Stephen Geffre found in the experimental and electronic genre.

Gertrude Hognander with the 19992000 Hognander Scholars Jaime Kirchofner ’00 (left) and Chiho Okuizumi ’00 (right). THE HOGNANDERS: SUPPORTING MUSIC EXCELLENCE Orville ’36 and Gertrude (Lund) ’36 Hognander created a legacy in Augsburg’s music department that will encourage and support students for years to come. Emily Gerard ’03 (above), harp, studied harp at Augsburg with Kathy Kienzle, principal harpist with the Minnesota Orchestra. She went on to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she studied with Gretchen Van Hoesen, principal harpist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. During her time there, she was able to participate in numerous master classes and perform repertoire with the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic, and play second harp with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. In May she earned her Master of Music degree in harp recital. Upon completing this degree, she returned to Minneapolis to join the faculty of the MacPhail School of Music. Maja Lisa FritzHuspen ’04 (top center), soprano, currently studies at the University of Iowa with Rachel Joselson and opera director Gary Race. Last fall she performed the lead role as the mother of Amahl in Amahl and the Night Summer 2005 While a student at Augsburg in the 1930s, Orville Hognander sang in the male quartet and the Augsburg Choir. He created and produced “The Hour Melodious,” a weekly radio program that brought the choir to a national audience. Gertrude (Lund) ’36 Hognander, studied music at Augsburg and went on to a career as a church organist and choir director. Andy Peterson ’05 (above with Professor Angela Wyatt), piano and saxophone, will complete his bachelor’s degree in music education following student teaching at Henry Sibley High School this fall. He is currently working on his composition Sound Carei's, a piece for saxophone and piano which was inspired by the music of Minneapolis jazz musician Carei Thomas. ■ Jessica Brown is a communication specialist in the Office of Public Relations and Communication. Together, they provided leadership support to Augsburg music. In 1994, they matched a $25,000 challenge to refurbish pianos and purchase equipment for the music department. The Hognander Scholar awards, aim to attract gifted students and to encourage current students. Orville Hognander died in 1997, and Gertrude Hognander in January 2005. They are survived by their son, O.C. Hognander, Jr. 27 AAlumni LUMNINews NEWS From the Alumni Board president’s desk… I n May I had the opportunity to attend Augsburg’s Commencement ceremony in Si Melby Hall. I also had the privilege to welcome new graduates into the ranks of over 19,000 alumni. Surveying the crowd, I was reminded that Augsburg graduates are prepared to lead and make a difference—wherever their community is and however defined. Augsburg graduates understand that the phrase “values proposition” goes beyond the business marketing context to include living out one’s life in service to community and others. Representatives from each graduating class spoke of their experiences and perspectives as learners. Glenda Holste, representing graduate-level students, shared a story that revealed the important value she places on her education. However, she didn’t mention her career as a member of the Pioneer Press Editorial Board. Her role at the Pioneer Press newspaper exemplifies the Augsburg spirit of leadership and service to others. Holste’s editorial responsibilities and op-ed writing reach many thousands of people each day—and her work ensures that readers have the opportunity to be informed on many viewpoints of important issues of the day. Another example of exemplary service is Dr. Jeanette Vought ’77, profiled on page 31 of this issue. Vought founded the Christian Recovery Center in Brooklyn Center, Minn., which helps many people get the mental health care they need. In today’s world of A-Club making connections with new look and Web site A n old Augsburg tradition has a fresh new face! Earlier this year, the A-Club Executive Committee approved a new logo for the organization that supports Augsburg athletics and physical education. “We hope the bold, clean look will increase awareness of A-Club events as well as our mission of helping today’s student athletes,” said John Harden, A-Club president. The block “A” is just the first step aimed at improving A-Club’s brand. Visitors will see the logo on the debut Web site (www.aclub.org). For the first time, A-Club members and friends can get the latest information on events, activities, fundraising efforts, and newsletters online. “It is critical to stay connected with all our members, and this Web site will help us take giant steps toward improved 28 communication,” Harden said. By browsing the site, visitors will also discover an exciting line of A-Club apparel featuring the block “A.” Hats, shirts, windbreakers, and even stadium blankets are now available online with proceeds benefiting Augsburg athletics and physical education. diminishing access for mental health services, particularly for lower income people, Vought’s service approach is particularly needed and inspiring. Each of us as alumni have the spirit of vocation and leadership potential of Vought and Holste. We are all at a starting point of some kind or another. If you haven’t already, I invite each one of you to connect or re-connect with Augsburg College. Along the way your life experience will grow and be enhanced, your community will benefit, and Augsburg will be enriched many times over. Be connected—stay connected! Bill Vanderwall ’93 WEC President, Alumni Board A-Club 5K Run/Walk The Augsburg College Athletic Alumni Club (A-Club) requests your participation in the Second Annual A-Club 5K Run/Walk.

Second Annual A-Club 5K Summer 2005 Attention Auggies: Do you have the time and desire to help today’s student-athletes become tomorrow’s leaders? The Augsburg A-Club is looking for women and men who are willing to be active participants on the A-Club Executive Committee. The A-Club is a volunteer organization of former men and women athletes that depends on members to do what they can to help provide today’s student-athletes with opportunities for a quality athletic experience. We are looking for individuals who are dedicated to supporting the College, Augsburg athletics, and physical education. Most important, they must be willing to put in time as a volunteer. The time does not have to be significant, but they do need to be able to follow through on their commitment (we’re big on people doing what they say they will). Members must be able to attend brief quarterly Executive Committee meetings at the College and be willing to work on at least one A-Club committee: Golf, Hall of Alumni tour to China Centennial Singers Fall Schedule Enjoy fellowship, comfort, and enriching educational opportunities on the May 2006 Augsburg Alumni Association China tour: Sights and Spirits. Hosted by Brad Holt, professor of religion, this 15day tour scheduled for May 11–25, 2006, begins in Beijing and includes Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Terra Cotta Warriors, and a boat cruise down the Yangtze River past the Three Gorges, which will be flooded by a dam project at the end of this decade.

This winter issue of Augsburg Now is all about both good things and waiting. You, the readers, are the ones who have been waiting for the winter Now (at least, editors always hope you are), even as we have already entered into early spring. On our part, it’s the good things that have caused us to wait on its production. About mid-winter, when the issue is usually mailed, we learned that Peter Agre, Augsburg Class of 1970 and 2003 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, was coming to campus in late February. Since our winter issue already included a story about Agre and the awarding of his Nobel Prize, we made the decision to delay production so that we could expand the article to include his memorable days with us here. It’s a rare and wonderful moment when a college can celebrate with one of its own, especially one whose vocation so richly embodies the mission of the College. For Agre, his time at Augsburg was a time of discovery and connections—exploring the subjects that piqued his interest and connecting with professors who made these subjects come alive and speak to him. While in medical school Agre turned to research, where he realized his talents in research could serve to greater benefit in seeking the causes of illness. And now, while he has the ear of the scientific world, he is a strong advocate for adequate funding in science education to enable all citizens to make responsible decisions about ourselves, our society, and our environment. The College also revels in the recognition our partnership with Cedar-Riverside Community School received, as Augsburg was lauded by the Carter Foundation and Campus Compact as an outstanding community partner. Read about that in Around the Quad. Plus, we feature the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg, a new community partnership program that has already brought us local media attention. Students and volunteers transform surplus food from the College’s dining service and a local food shelter into tasty meals that are delivered to several neighborhood community agencies. Last fall the College celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hispanic/Latino Student Services program, which provides support and encouragement to help these students succeed at Augsburg. You’ll read about the impact this program has in strengthening the appreciation of cultural richness within Augsburg’s learning community. So, good things keep happening. And, we move into spring with this winter issue—fully aware that in Minnesota there could well still be some wintery snowflakes falling as you read this in April. The next issue will be a combined spring and summer issue to bring you exciting news about Access to Excellence: The Campaign for Augsburg College that Augsburg kicks off on April 18 with a community festival. Join us! Betsey Norgard Editor JIMMY CARTER IS HONORED AT THE NINTH ANNUAL PEACE PRIZE FESTIVAL AND VISITS CHILDREN AT J.J. HILL SCHOOL The Ninth Annual Peace Prize Festival at Augsburg brought together more than 700 area school children to honor President Jimmy Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Displays and performances were presented around the lives of past peace laureates. Carter was not able to participate, but special guests included Gro Bruntland, former prime minister of Norway; Knut Vollebæk, Norwegian ambassador to the U.S.; and Professor Geir Lundestad, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute. On Feb. 21, while attending the 2004 Peace Prize Forum at St. Olaf College, President Jimmy Carter squeezed in a visit to a special “mini-Peace Prize Festival” at J.J. Hill Montessori School in St. Paul, where children prepared skits about Nobel Peace Prize laureates. Carter was accompanied by his wife, Rosalynn, and President William Frame.

Physics student chapter is honored Augsburg’s chapter of the Society of Physics Students was selected as an outstanding chapter for 2002-03. The award letter highlights depth and breadth of “physics research, public science outreach, physics tutoring programs, hosting and representation at physics meetings, and providing social interaction for chapter members.” This is the second time in four years that Augsburg’s chapter has been among the top 10 percent recognized. New and continued physics grants Augsburg has received funding from the National Science Foundation and NASA for three multi-year research projects, each of which will provide funds for undergraduate student research. Professor Mark Engebretson heads up both NSF projects: the first, a five-year, $600,000 grant to support continued studies using the MACCS array of magnetometers in Arctic Canada; and the second, a threeyear, $426,000 grant with Dartmouth College to continue similar studies using data primarily from Antarctica. Professor Ken Erickson heads up Augsburg’s efforts to use data from NASA’s polar satellite to study magnetospheric substorms, and subsequent auroral displays. This $252,000 project is shared with Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory.

The students are part of an experiment that not only is teaching them about life in medieval times but also is blending seven disciplines into one exciting new crosscurricular program. The experiment, titled “Medieval Connections,” not only has both exceeded its professors’ broadest expectations, but it soon could serve as a model for other Augsburg courses and for liberal arts institutions across the nation. “When the College embarked on a new general education curriculum this academic year, faculty were encouraged to seek ways to present courses that were interdisciplinary in nature,” noted Phil Adamo, assistant professor of history and leader of the new program. Adamo has been so pleased with the results of the course that he plans to prepare a paper on it for possible publication in several national journals. A core group of Augsburg faculty, including Adamo; Kristin Anderson, art; Phil Quanbeck II, religion; Joan Griffin, Students in Medieval Connections learn from a single book chained in the library. 4 English; and Merilee Klemp, music, met and put together the basics for the course. Philosophy colleague Bruce Reichenbach, and Darcey Engen, theatre, joined them to form the seven disciplines represented by the course itself. “The key idea that stuck with us is that the In the Medieval Connections class, students wear robes, as university/college that students did in the Middle Ages. we know today comes out of the 12th century,” Adamo said. help teach but also to respond to one “Faculty and students wore robes another and students’ questions.

A logical answer might be the ski slopes or the malls, but in this case the answer is in church gyms playing in the AugsburgCongregational Youth Basketball League. Thirteen years ago, Augsburg College Pastor Dave Wold had concerns about young people and their connection to churches. Many dropped out of church after confirmation, and many young people in city neighborhoods had no connection to a church. Wold was interested in addressing these issues, as well as getting the word out about Augsburg College. Wold’s idea of a basketball league took shape when he realized how many church gyms in the metro area were not being used, and especially in thinking about how many students enjoy playing basketball but had no team to play on if they weren’t able to make their school teams. Wold and a group of youth directors and pastors developed the mission of the More than 100 Augsburg students, led by Pastor Dave Wold (right) help with various tasks during the Congregational Youth League Tournament at Augsburg in March. Winter 2003-04 Every game in the 70-church Congregational Youth Basketball League starts with devotions and ends with prayer, shared by both opposing teams. league “to provide relaxed yet structured games in a Christian setting, allowing kids an opportunity for fun and exercise while building relationships with teammates, opponents, and God.” Now, more than 70 churches and as many as 1,000 students play in church gyms on Sunday afternoons in the months of January and February. The season climaxes on the first weekend in March at a tournament on Augsburg’s campus. More than 100 Augsburg students help out at the tourney as referees, photographers, concessions workers, security people, etc. Wold, along with league director David Wrightsman and other youth professionals who run the league, seek to keep the tournament as low cost as possible. If churches can’t afford the full participation fee, which pays mostly for uniforms and referee fees, they find ways to subsidize them. As in any athletic division, there are rules. Each game begins with devotions and ends with prayer, shared by both opposing teams. During the game, there must be equal playing time for all team members. And, each team is strongly encouraged to take on service projects— in the church’s gym, in food programs, or in projects like Habitat for Humanity. The league has succeeded in bringing youth to the church. Half of the 70 teams last year were made up of senior high boys, and half or more of these players were not members of the churches for which they played. Some youth choose to play for a church team instead of their school team. Wonderful friendships form through the games. Teams from city and suburban churches get to know each other, and players build relationships with teammates, coaches, youth workers, and pastors. The story of Noah, an adopted Filipino high school student, is one example of the faith and love in this league. Noah has faced challenges all his life from a birth defect in his brain. He learned to love basketball and found tremendous support and friendship in his church team. His strength is in shooting, especially long shots. About five years ago in the tournament, the two finalist teams remained locked in a close game. In the final seconds, it was Noah who sank the ball from a long, half-court shot to win the tournament for his team. “That shows how great sport can be and how great people can be,” says Wold.

Ten Auggie players made the trip, along with head coach Jill Pohtilla, assistant coaches Barb Halbrehder and Bill Halbrehder, Augsburg staff, and several family members. The eight-day trip took the Auggies through the heart of northern Italy and to the historic cities of Florence and Rome. Members of the team raised money for two years to pay for the journey. “Having an opportunity to learn about another culture, first hand, is something the players will never forget,” Pohtilla said. “I had a similar opportunity playing hockey in Finland in 1980, and I will never forget some of the experiences I had.” On Dec. 29, after a day-long series of flights across the Atlantic, the Auggies arrived in Milan, met Marc Smith, their tour manager from GoPlay Sports Tours, and immediately began a day of sightseeing to help counteract the effects of jetlag. In Milan, Italy’s largest city, the team toured the Duomo, a stunning baroque cathedral with 3,400 statues and 135 spires, and walked across the city square to a huge downtown shopping area, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. After a night of needed rest in the nearby city of Bergamo, Augsburg was set to play its first game, against the Halloween Como team in the small town of Zanica. Women’s hockey in Italy is still in relative infancy, with only a handful of teams in the northern part of the country. So, with only nine skaters and a goalie, Augsburg was competitive against all of its opponents. In fact, Augsburg dispatched of 6 Members of the Augsburg women’s hockey team and others pose in front of the Colosseum in Rome.

Halloween Como by a 14-0 count. Freshman Stacy Anderson had a sixpoint day, with three goals and three assists, while senior Christina Hughes also had a hat trick (three goals). Senior Dottie Gilkerson, juniors Corrie Krzyska and Laura Prasek, and sophomores Calla Lundquist and Britt Pennington each scored two goals, while senior Annie Annunziato contributed assists. The team then moved on to the Alpine city of Bolzano, little city where the Auggies were then headquartered for three days. New Year’s Eve provided an incredible day and night of new experiences, including a two-hour bus ride deep into the Austrian Alps. As the team rode to Austria, jaws dropped at the stunning scenery of the Brenner Pass, one of Europe’s most famous trade routes. The team’s second game also provided a unique experience—a semi-outdoor rink in the small town of Kundl, Austria. The rink was enclosed, but two of the four sides were open to the elements. Many players said it was the first time they had played on an outdoor rink, which made for an interesting game. Like Italy, women’s hockey in Austria is also relatively new, but the Kundl Crocodiles provided some strong competition. The team even recruited other players from its league to play the Auggies, but in the end, the Minnesota players’ years of experience proved too much, as Augsburg won 6-0. Pennington was the star of the game, with a three-goal hat trick, with Gilkerson, Hughes, and Annunziato adding markers. Junior Jana Ford also got on the board for the Auggies with an assist. Augsburg outshot Kundl by a 2910 margin, with junior goalie Kristin Johnson getting her second straight shutout. “One of the funniest moments for me was when the Austrian team hosted a Winter 2003-04 4/1/04 11:50 AM Page 10 the famed Trevi Fountain, you will Italy, the Bolzano Eagles.

Peter Agre’s illustrious career has exemplified this process of understanding one’s passions and talents, and discerning the work that would best use them in service to others. Last fall, Agre’s life was unexpectedly and dramatically changed by another call—a single telephone call that came at 5:30 in the morning on October 8. The voice on the other end spoke politely with a Swedish accent and informed him that he had won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2003. Since then, Agre’s life has been a whirlwind of travel, interviews, ceremonies, speeches, and thousands of e-mails. Highlights have been the Nobel week in Stockholm, honors at the White House, and, most recently, a hometown tribute befitting a high school and college hero. Agre is a Minnesota native, born in Northfield where his father taught chemistry at St. Olaf College. In 1959, Courtland Agre came to Augsburg as chemistry department chair, and within three years, with the help of new professors John Holum and Earl Alton, rebuilt and refurbished the department. Augsburg’s chemistry program then received the prestigious approval from the American Chemical Society. In his senior year at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, Peter Agre was voted one of two most likely to succeed. He was not a focused student, however, and took more interest in the underground student newspaper than in his academic subjects. He refers to himself as a “handful” for his teachers. Already in his last year of high school, Agre began taking classes at Augsburg and then enrolled full time. Here he truly connected with several 8 Nobel winner Peter Agre returned to campus and visited the chemistry labs where he spent considerable time as a student in the late 1960s. Here, he chats with student Mike Starner about the day’s project. professors, most especially with John Holum in chemistry, and was able to complete a major in chemistry in twoand-a-half years, culminating in the decision to became a medical doctor. During medical school at Johns Hopkins University, Agre began gravitating toward research. “I wanted the kind of career where I could help people and do useful work that helped people—both as individual patients and by working on disease mechanisms,” Agre explains. “That’s what really got me into the science.” In his senior year in medical school, he began working in laboratories, rather than pursuing the advanced training of a specialty. After a three-year medical residency at Case Western Reserve University and a clinical fellowship at University of North Carolina, he returned to Johns Hopkins for a research fellowship in cell biology. In 1984 he joined the faculty and is now professor of biochemistry. It was his roommate in medical school who first connected him with a “hot” research lab on campus staffed by an international group of researchers, with whom he remains close. “It was actually the people doing science as much as the science that caught my interest,” Agre explains. “I never felt so excited about being with a group of individuals as with the people in this laboratory.” Some of these researchers traveled to Sweden to be with him at the Nobel ceremony. Winter 2003-04 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 12 Prize-winning research Agre was honored for his work in discovering the existence of proteins that he named “aquaporins,” that are responsible for the passage of water across cell membranes, a process essential to all living things. Agre’s discovery was a result of research serendipity—or “luck favoring the well-prepared,” as it was described in a Johns Hopkins press release. In 1991, while engaged in other research, his lab noticed a small, ubiquitous protein, which they isolated and cloned—and which later proved to be the longsought-after regulator of water movement across cells. (See sidebar on page 11). Agre shares the $1.3 million prize with Roderick MacKinnon, of Rockefeller University in New York, whose research studied similar questions of cell transport involving ions. Across the ocean and seven hours earlier, Augsburg students, staff, and faculty watched via live webcast the formal proceedings of the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10. Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in Oslo, Norway), on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, who bequeathed the endowment that funds the annual awards. For a week around this date, the 2003 laureates presented lectures, spoke at press conferences, made visits to academic and medical institutions in Scandinavia, and enjoyed the Nobel collegiality. Agre describes the week as “Cinderella-like, except at midnight everyone kept partying.” Agre received his gold medal at the The Nobel Prizes are awarded in highly formal prize ceremony, presented Stockholm, Sweden (except for the to him by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, surrounded by the royal family and prestigious academics. At the gala banquet, Agre presented a short “thank-you” speech on behalf of MacKinnon and himself (see p. 11). The Augsburg community was able to share in the festivities via a live webcast from Stockholm.

Back home in Minnesota In February Agre returned to the Twin Cities for several days to visit his family, as well as to engage in yet another week of whirlwind activities and talks. His first stop in Minneapolis was at his high school alma mater, something he says he wanted to do for himself. His message to students there is one he repeated several more times during the week: “Whatever it is that captures your interest—you should go for it. There’s no limit in life. You can do whatever you want.” At Augsburg, to a filled Hoversten Chapel, Agre presented the same lecture about his research that he gave in Stockholm during Nobel Week. He likened the chance discovery of aquaporin water channels to that of driving along a gravel road in the middle of nowhere in northern Minnesota and suddenly coming upon a city of 200,000 people. “You think to yourself, ‘now this is really interesting,’ ” he quipped. While on campus, Agre had a chance 9 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 13 Agre and President William Frame testified before the Minnesota Senate Higher Education Budget Committee about the need for adequate funding for education. sequence of his findings that led to the aquaporin discovery and describing extensive research others have carried forward in expanding the knowledge and seeking medical applications. Courtland Agre was a chemist at 3M before and after his teaching career, working with a team of scientists to develop synthetic adhesives, and Peter Agre acknowledged that connection. Later, at the State Capitol, Agre appeared with President Frame before the Senate Higher Education Budget Committee to plead the need for science education and adequate funding for research and education. “Research is what lifts us,” Agre told the senators, and “no one is willing to pay for excellent research.” Without it, for example, he said, no new antibiotics can be developed to combat the growing immunity to current drugs. This critical research, especially in Third World countries, is not the kind of profitable research drug companies seek. With the image projected on a large screen beside him, Peter Agre presented his research on “aquaporins” to over 600 employees as part of Tech Forum series at 3M. to greet several of his former Augsburg professors—chemistry professors John Holum and Arlin Gyberg, math professor Henry Follingstad, and biology professor Ralph Sulerud, among others—and reiterated their contribution to shaping his science interests and career direction. During the week the Agre family also gathered on campus, a homecoming for 10 a number of Agre Auggies.

At that time, these fields were narrowly defined, and researchers were often classically trained in only one discipline. In the late 19th century, knowledge of science was not a requisite for success in other walks of life. Indeed, the 19th century painter James McNeil Whistler achieved artistic immortality despite failing chemistry at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, an experience which he remembered with amusement saying, “Had silicon been a gas, I would have been a major general.” But the depth of science has increased dramatically, and Alfred Nobel would be astonished by the changes. Now in the 21st century, the boundaries separating physics, chemistry, and medicine have become blurred, and as happened during the Renaissance, scientists are following their curiosities even when they run beyond the formal limits Peter Agre, Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry, used the opportunity when speaking on behalf of the two chemistry of their training. At the same winners, to laud and praise science teachers for their role in time, the need for general creating interest for their students. scientific understanding by the public has never been larger, and the penalty for scientific illiteracy never harsher. In his masterpiece, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the 1982 [Nobel] literature prize, describes the isolated village of Macondo where the inhabitants suffer from their own naiveté, trading their hard-earned gold to gypsies for what they believe to be amazing inventions—a magnet, a magnifying glass, and even an enormous, transparent crystal that fascinated them being so cold it was painful to touch. What they regarded as the greatest invention of their time was only a block of ice. In a way, the inhabitants of Macondo resemble contemporary individuals without any background in science. Lack of scientific fundamentals causes people to make foolish decisions about issues such as the toxicity of chemicals, the efficacy of medicines, the changes in the global climate. Our single greatest defense against scientific ignorance is education, and early in the life of every scientist, the child’s first interest was sparked by a teacher. Ladies and gentlemen: please join Dr. Roderick MacKinnon and me in applauding not the Nobel laureates but the heroes behind past, present, and future Nobel prizes— the men and women who teach science to children in our schools.

NOBEL BANQUET Water comprises about 70 percent of the human body and is constantly passing across cell walls. Peter Agre was the first to identify the particular protein that serves as the channel through which the water passes. It was a discovery of chance for Agre’s lab team. While researching blood cells, they noticed a commonly reoccurring mystery protein. It was a colleague of Agre’s who suggested that this might be the long-soughtafter water channel. By isolating, cloning, and introducing this protein into frog eggs, Agre’s team was able to confirm that it, indeed, allowed passage of water—and Agre named it Aquaporin-1. Since then, research around the world has explored the presence of additional aquaporins—or “water pores”—and extensively documented their existence in bacteria, plants, and mammals. Not all are equally understood, however. Agre quips that a particular one, Aquaporin-6, was “sent by God for our hubris in saying that we understand these proteins.” While Agre’s research does not yield immediate cures or treatments for disease, it has exploded the understanding of what he dubs this “molecular plumbing system” and provided explanations for physiological processes at sub-disease states. As Agre says, “We have the answer—now what is the question?” From here, research will focus on application of this information in studying a wide variety of diseases— kidney diseases, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, Sjogren’s Syndrome, among them. Beyond that, Agre says that the research can also benefit biotechnology, and even agriculture. 11 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/5/04 8:21 AM Page 14 receiving something in translation. In his banquet speech at the Nobel Ceremony, Agre stated that “Our single greatest defense against scientific ignorance is education.” He then applauded the role of teachers, whom he called the “heroes behind past, present, and future Nobel prizes.” (See the full text of this speech on p. 11.) When talking with young people, he also encourages them to identify their heroes. One of Agre’s heroes he enjoys talking about is Nobel chemistry and Peace Prize laureate Linus Pauling, the eminent scientist whose unwavering opposition to nuclear testing led the fight to pass the limited test ban treaty. Pauling stayed with the Agre family while speaking in Minneapolis when Agre was a teenager, and the strong social conscience of the renowned scientist profoundly impacted Agre. Agre is taking advantage of his Nobel stature to speak out on issues affecting science research, especially against restrictions placed on research as a result of the war on terrorism. Together with other Nobel laureates, he has advocated on behalf of a former professor, Thomas Butler, who faced 69 felony charges and massive fines for the mishandling that he voluntarily reported of plague samples used in bioterror research. of being able to evaluate the validity of daily news, statements from government officials, and so on. People without science background are “totally at the mercy of the government or big companies that tell them a particular pollutant is not dangerous,” Agre says. Equally worrisome to Agre is the situation where decisions about foreign policy, such as signing the Kyoto Accord, are made by lawyers with no scientific background. Even though there are scientific advisors, he sees it as similar to 12 Learning for life In summing up, Agre believes that although science is important, liberal arts are critical to educate people in many different areas for a lifetime. He told the Senate higher education committee, “All the good in my life happened because of my education.” He believes that “part of being educated is learning that we learn our whole lives, and we need to … have some background in different cultures, study abroad.” Agre told the press that “the difference between laureates and the general public is that when we get up in the morning we really long to be at work.” That’s a statement of calling. ■ Courtland Agre taught chemistry at Augsburg for 17 years, from 1959 to his retirement in 1976. He also enjoyed an illustrious career in industry at both DuPont and 3M in the early research around synthetic adhesives. Agre revitalized Augsburg’s chemistry department and was recognized for his programs that brought high school students to campus. Under his leadership, Augsburg’s department received initial approval from the American Chemical Society. Agre’s last visit to campus was at Homecoming in 1995 when Peter Agre was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus. Courtland Agre died a few weeks later, in October 1995, from cancer.

In the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg, students receive surplus food from the College’s food service and other local food banks and transform these various ingredients into healthy and tasty meals for neighborhood residents in shelters and community programs. Augsburg is one of six campuses in the country to join The Campus Kitchens ProjectSM, a leadership development program of DC Central Kitchen. The project focuses on making use of recycled food, students in servicelearning, and teaching food preparation skills to the unemployed. It is also a great opportunity for volunteers from the campus and the community to combine talents. The Campus Kitchen at Augsburg opened in October with President and Mrs. Frame cooking the first meals under the direction of Augsburg’s Sodexho food staff. About 60 volunteers have been involved weekly since then, serving 100 to 300 meals—a total of more than 2,400 meals in the five months. Two or three nights a week, a team of LEFT PAGE, TOP—Freshman Nicholas Stuber (center) is one of the Augsburg Seminar (AugSem) students who worked in the Campus Kitchen as part of his religion and history classes.

One of Augsburg’s first-year seminars, or AugSem, included a service-learning component in the Campus Kitchen into paired religion and history classes. History professor Phil Adamo teaches Beginning of Western Culture, where students study how resources are collected, distributed, and controlled. Preparing and delivering the meals gave his students some first-hand understanding of how the process works. Project director Abby Flottemesch also helps the students organize additional activities—clothing drives, special events, and projects. In February, the student volunteers prepared a Valentine’s Day meal for teen parents and their children at the Division of Indian Work in Minneapolis. The Campus Kitchen at Augsburg developed from the collaboration of the Center for Service, Work, and Learning and Sodexho, the College’s food service provider. “It’s a natural extension of our community service-learning interests,” President William Frame recently told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, adding that it fit Augsburg’s mission to be an “active citizen in the neighborhoods.” In addition to fulfilling their AugSem requirements, first-year students learn the broader lessons embodied in the Campus Kitchens motto—“Teach, Reach, Feed, Lead.” “At the end of the day I feel better knowing that I have made an impact on someone’s life,” says Ramos. ■ 15 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 19 CCO ONONCNANE CMTNPI NUGSE C T I N G —a home for Hispanic/Latino students by Betsey Norgard • photos by Stephen Geffre IN 2003, Augsburg’s Hispanic/Latino Student Services program celebrated its 10th anniversary. Established in 1993, it is the newest of the four programs that provide services for ethnic populations at the College. During its first decade, the program grew from the initial 13 students served to over 40 students who now receive assistance and academic support in areas of admissions, financial aid/scholarships, registration procedures, academic advising, personal counseling, and advocacy. The students also receive help to obtain internships, employment, and community referrals. While most activity in the program involves the day students, weekend and graduate students also take advantage of services on campus and community networking. Augsburg’s program is growing at the same time the Hispanic/Latino population in the state of Minnesota is experiencing a triple-digit percentage increase, according to the 2000 census data. The College’s location in the heart of the Twin Cities makes it accessible to Hispanic/Latino youth of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, and Augsburg’s commitment to a diverse student body enables it to offer the financial and academic resources to reach these students. Of the more than 40 students served this year, 12 are international students, while more than double that number come from the Twin Cities metro area.

Adela Arguello, a junior from Nicaragua, double-majoring in finance and economics, is one of three students currently “connected” to an alumni mentor. ”This scholarship has been one of the instruments that has made possible the great experience of having a college education in the U.S.,” she says. “My mentor, Diane Love-Scott, and her husband, Rick, have both been great mentors and great friends in the past two years.” Love-Scott, who graduated in 1998 and now is a social worker for Hennepin County, was one of the first students involved in the program and speaks about its impact. “Getting connected to the Latino program and being part of its development was an honor. … Since there only were a handful of Latino students, it felt like we were a family. The Latino program allowed for a group of students to be heard and recognized that otherwise would simply just have ‘blended’,” she says. Plus, becoming active in the Latino group helps students connect with other activities on campus. “My involvement with campus life was greatly attributed to my participation in the Hispanic/Latino SCHOLASTIC CONNECTIONS Students Renzo and Robert Amaya Torres (second and third from left) and Adela Arguello (second from right) and mentors (left to right) Franklin Taweh, Eloisa Echávez, Maria R.

Students from the various Hispanic/Latino countries bring their cultural traditions to Augsburg’s campus life. During Hispanic Heritage Month, mid-September to mid-October, a series of community speakers and presentations focused on cultural traditions and social issues in Mexico, and Central and South America. Each year in Chapel during Advent, the Hispanic/Latino students present Las Posadas, a reenactment of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and search for lodging. The campus community joins in singing the procession along, and then celebrates with the festive breaking of a piñata.

Outside of basketball, although Alex and Kevin attend classes on the same campus they hardly see each other. Alex’s MAL classes meet every other weekend, and Kevin studies during the week. Even so, they still find time to meet or talk every now and then—as when they needed to clear a mix-up on their e-mails. One of Kevin’s professors, unaware that Charles Walbridge When considering their options for higher education, this father and son duo from Forest Lake, Minn., had no intention of attending the same college. However, the educational paths of Alex and Kevin Keto led them both down different roads to Augsburg College. Alex, who is currently a marketing manager for Wendy’s International, Inc., came to Augsburg in September 2002 to enroll in the College’s Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. He had been planning to pursue graduate education after his son completed high school, and wanted something different than an M.B.A. Augsburg’s MAL focus on leadership intrigued him as different from other comparable college programs. Believing that “you can never stop learning,” he felt he had found a “perfect fit” at Augsburg. He feels the leadership aspect of the program will benefit him in his job and give him a competitive edge. “I hope to take what I know,” he says, “and add some leadership to incorporate mentoring to develop some kind of leadership program.” Alex’s son, Kevin, choose a different road to Augsburg, which was in no way influenced by his father. Kevin entered Augsburg as a freshman last fall. A graduate of Forest Lake High School, he was involved in community service through the National Honor Society (NHS) and was the point guard on the varsity basketball team. As a team member and co-captain, he helped run basketball camps for younger players. Kevin’s college selection pointed Augsburg’s way because he wanted to attend a school that had diversity, that was in the city, and where he could continue to play basketball. To his great joy, he made the varsity team in his first year and found that college basketball was a new experience he really enjoyed. He also enjoyed having Alex in the stands at Stephen Geffre by Rebecca Welle ’04 Father and son Alex and Kevin Keto enjoy a rare moment together on campus. Both are Augsburg students, but their class schedules rarely overlap. Freshman guard Kevin Keto was drawn to Augsburg as a school in the city where he could continue playing basketball—and have his father in the stands for many games. Kevin was not the only Keto on campus, e-mailed him with praise for a paper he wrote, asking if it could be shared with the class. Much to the professor’s surprise, the e-mail went to Alex, who wrote back explaining the confusion. The professor than e-mailed Alex back thanking him for setting everything straight and complimenting the work of his son. Although Alex plans to complete his degree in the next year, Kevin will not be far behind. Because of advanced placement courses in high school, he is on an accelerated pace in his college studies. He has continued his service work from high school and is currently volunteering as a tutor for Somali children as part of his Christian vocation class. Kevin has already accepted a position for next year as a resident assistant in Urness Hall, where he will help new freshman find their way around new classes, a new campus, and new experiences. ■ Becky Welle is a senior communications major and intern in the Office of Public Relations and Communication. 19 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 23 AAlumni LUMNINews NEWS From the Alumni Board president’s desk… T hese are exciting times for Augsburg College and Augsburg alumni. Several months ago, the College launched the “Transforming Education” marketing campaign. Billboards, radio and magazine advertisements, and the Augsburg Web site reflect that which all Augsburg alumni know: “Be yourself at Augsburg, and leave completely changed.” One alumnus who exemplifies the transforming nature of an Augsburg education is Peter Agre ’70. Shortly after the campaign was launched, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that Peter was one of two winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (see the feature story on p. 8 for details). Peter’s award is a fantastic honor and all Augsburg alumni can be proud of his achievement. Peter’s honor has personal meaning for me. While a senior at Augsburg, I traveled to Baltimore in the spring of 1984 to visit the Johns Hopkins University where I would matriculate in the School of Medicine that fall. Peter, early in his career at the time, warmly welcomed me to the city and into his home. He gave me an exhaustive tour of the city and the medical school and introduced me to many of his colleagues. Later, Peter was my teacher and mentor on the clinical wards. Despite his busy schedule, Peter always had time to talk and reminisce (especially about Minnesota and Augsburg). He was a terrific mentor and later a good friend and colleague. Congratulations, Peter! In Alumni Board news, Dan Anderson ’65, who joined the Alumni Board last year, recently accepted appointment to the Augsburg Board of Regents. One of Dan’s primary roles on the Board of Regents will be to represent the Alumni Board and alumni. Dan is a dedicated supporter of the College, and this appointment will surely benefit the entire Augsburg community. These truly are exciting times for Augsburg and its alumni. Within a Christian context, the College remains committed to an education that is academically excellent and “transforming.” One measure of the “transforming” nature of an Augsburg education is alumni participation in the affairs of the College. Indeed, alumni have not only increased their participation in alumni events, but have also increased their giving of time, talents, and financial gifts to Augsburg. On behalf of the Alumni Board, I thank you for your generosity! Paul S.

Arvid Dixen ’52 brings a Memorial Day message of peace by Jen Hass Reprinted by permission of Quad Community Press in White Bear Lake, Minn. Arvid “Bud” Dixen is convinced that most people think of Memorial Day as simply a sign of summer’s arrival. And he’d like to change that. Courtesy photo ALUMNI PROFILE The Korean War veteran and Circle Pines, Minn., resident said people could best spend their time this holiday weekend by visiting gravesites or war memorials. Even better, the 73-year-old Dixen suggests, is to get involved with the peace movement. His own history as a political activist is a long one, kindled by his war experiences and his religious training. After graduating from Augsburg College in 1952, Dixen was drafted into the military and was a combat engineer in the Korean War. He said the experience fighting at the tender age of 21 for more than a year—and his religious views about how Christians should react to war—changed his mind about the necessity of such conflict. “If people could live in dignity and basic peace, they’re not going to war,” he said. Dixen returned home a changed man, not unlike other soldiers who came back from the so-called “forgotten war.” He became a preacher after attending Luther Seminary and worked during the next three decades at churches across the Midwest. But it isn’t just peace that drove him into the streets and powered his sermons. Dixen was jailed for three days with Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1962 for demonstrating against Rev. Arvid “Bud” Dixen ’52 has worked to segregation in Albany, Ga. He helped promote the country’s first female Lutheran parish promote peace ever since his service as a pastor through the ranks at combat engineer in the Korean War. Edina Community Lutheran Church in the ’70s. Around that same time, he rallied church members to raise money for Dennis Banks and Russell Means, members of the American Indian Movement, who were arrested for taking control of Wounded Knee in South Dakota. “All of these things are tied together, to recognize the dignity and worth of every person,” he explained. Today, Dixen has kept busy as a member of Veterans for Peace, People of Faith Peacemaking, and the St. Paul Affinity Group, which is made up of volunteers with the international Nonviolent Peaceforce organization. He has continued being a minister on a part-time basis for a small ELCA Lutheran ministry called Kairos. And he still speaks out about basic human rights and how they apply to the modern day—though he’s just as likely to be enjoying classical music and reading with his cats, Mozart and Socrates, at his feet. “We’re audacious enough to think we can stop people from starting war,” he said. “But it isn’t just an effort being made by white people—this is a worldwide effort.” It’s a mission that has sent Dixen across the country to speak at political rallies and faith forums, to write cabinet members in President George W. Bush’s administration, and to contact reporters about how to best cover wars, speaking with local establishments like the Star Tribune and KARE-11. It has also sent him to protest locally, primarily at the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Lake Drive in Circle Pines, where protesters gathered for the latest Iraqi conflict. Dixen isn’t a pacifist but believes in questioning all American military action. He emphasizes caring for other nations, keeping the peace, and obeying the Christian dictate to “Love your enemies.” “I consider myself a patriot,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean I’m uncritical.” Winter 2003-04 27 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 31 Class Notes ALUMNI PROFILE David Cheung ’73: Tissue transplant pioneer Staff photo by Lynn Mena Peter Agre ’70 isn’t the only Auggie making news in the science community. Agre’s discovery of aquaporins and his resulting Nobel Prize in Chemistry (see p. 8) is but one very public example of the research and accolades enjoyed by many of Augsburg’s esteemed science alumni. In fact, alumnus David Cheung ’73 is currently engaged in groundbreaking research that could very well lead to a Nobel Prize of his own. Cheung, a tissue transplant researcher, has successfully developed new tissue treatment methods that allow nonliving animal tissue to be rebuilt in humans as living tissue. This is remarkable because not only has Cheung demonstrated that non-living animal tissue can become living tissue in humans—but he has also demonstrated that non-living animal tissue has the potential to actually grow once it has been transplanted into another species. “Ultimately, my goal is to reduce the need for allograft (human to human) transplant tissues or human living cells (such as fetal cells) used in other popular tissue engineering techniques,” said Cheung. David Cheung ’73 (center) a tissue transplant researcher, has successfully developed new tissue treatment methods that allow non-living animal tissue to regenerate and grow in humans as living tissue. He stopped by the Augsburg campus in December for a visit with chemistry professor Arlin Gyberg (left) and Sandra (Larson) Olmsted ’69, associate professor of chemistry (right). “I would never have dreamt that such a thing was possible when I was a chemistry major at Augsburg,” added Cheung, reflecting upon his journey from Augsburg to his current professional research and success. “Augsburg provided me with an environment of integrity and a value system that is consistent with the basic faith of the Lutheran church,” continued Cheung. “Along with academic training, guidance, and encouragement, this value system made me what I am today. It prepared me to face a world full of people who often compete with no rules, principles, or integrity. For that, I am so thankful to Augsburg.” After graduating from Augsburg in 1973 with a B.A. in chemistry, Cheung received a master’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota. He received his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Southern California, where he first started working on tissue transplant research under Dr. Marcel Nimni (Nimni helped develop the Hancock Valve—an artificial heart valve made from pig heart valves mounted on plastic frames wrapped in Dacron cloth). Cheung stayed on at USC and joined the faculty at the USC School of Medicine (now called the USC Keck School of Medicine). In 1995, Cheung left USC to join the International Heart Institute of Montana Foundation (part of the University of Montana and St. Patrick Hospital and Medical Sciences Center in Missoula) as director of the Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Laboratory and as an adjunct associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences and biological sciences. In 2000, Cheung founded a medical device company called Philogenesis, Inc., located in Monrovia, Calif., a few miles from his home in Arcadia, where he has been working on the commercialization phase of his current research (he has been traveling back and forth between Montana and California every month for the past seven years). In addition, Cheung is a consultant to numerous medical device industries, as well as a volunteer associate professor in surgery and cardiology back at USC. Cheung and his wife, Chuane-Chuane, have two children: Rebecca, a pharmacist and fellow at the VA Medical Center in Loma Linda, Calif.; and Philip, a junior majoring in bioengineering. Cheung’s sister, Pearl (a 1971 Augsburg alumna) is a researcher with Cheung at Philogenesis (coincidentally, Pearl and Peter Agre were chemistry lab partners as Augsburg students). “Science is about being able to think logically and creatively, an ability given by God,” said Cheung. “It is by God’s grace that I had an opportunity to receive my undergraduate education at Augsburg and continue on to a career in biomedical research after further graduate training. “I hope that Augsburg’s current students can be encouraged to hold on to their faith long after their years at Augsburg,” continued Cheung. “I hope they are inspired to challenge the world and become future leaders.” 28 Winter 2003-04 Augsburg Now Winter 04.3 4/1/04 11:51 AM Page 32 1972 1974 Tim Nelson and Karen (Brien) ’72 moved to Colorado in January 2003 to be closer to their grandchildren.

We came from various parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, mostly. I hadn’t seen many of these people in ages. We were still good friends but we had, over time, lost touch as we became embroiled in our individual lives. As the days and years passed, our paths crossed only occasionally. This wasn’t right! We had been together on the journey that transformed us into adults—there were so many precious memories that shouldn’t be lost on heavily scheduled calendars, professional obligations, or family responsibilities. I needed to see these people. So I decided to throw a party. I picked the day, time, and place—it would be in my backyard in south Minneapolis. I sent invitations to about 25 folks, and asked them to RSVP so I could plan food and beverages. I had heard from a few that they couldn’t make it, but I pretty much assumed that everybody else would. Hah, we have a good laugh at that today! Thanks to a get-together she planned in 1998, Naomi (Christensen) Staruch ’81 (front row, far right) succeeded in reconnecting with several Augsburg friends; the group now meets on a regular basis. Pictured here from a gathering in November are: Front row (L to R): Sally (Hough) Daniels ’79, David Soli ’81, Richard ’81 and Jean Ann Buller, Naomi (Christensen) Staruch ’81 (Back row): David ’79 and Susan Cherwein, Katherine Skibbe ’79, John and Lori (Labelle) ’82 Bartz, Paul Daniels ’79. At the prime time of the party, only two people had arrived, Paul ’79 and Sally (Hough) ’79 Daniels, and they called a few blocks from the house to see if it was still okay to show up as they hadn’t returned their RSVP. It turned out that they were the lucky ones; they were the first to meet my husband-to-be, Steven. That was the “real” reason for that first party. I wanted to introduce the man I was about to marry (a native of Butler, Pa., of Slovakian heritage, a graduate of Oberlin College and the Eastman School of Music, a Minnesota transplant), to my good friends from college days. Paul, Sally, Steven, and I had a great evening together. That could have been the end but instead it was just another beginning. I was confident that this idea of reconnecting Augsburg friends was a good idea. Steven and I tried again a few months later and this time the backyard was full of college chums. We talked and laughed and told stories and talked and laughed some more. Even the non-Augsburg spouses were quickly inducted into the Auggie family. Amazingly, it seemed as though we had never been apart. Then someone mentioned the ages of their children, or someone else revealed that they had held the same job since college, and even a few were approaching their 20th wedding

(Genesis 1: 27, 31a, NRSV) I once heard a presentation from a nursing student who was part of a community health practicum course in a homeless shelter, who commented that before she went to her assignment at the shelter, her general feeling was that homeless people had done something to “deserve” their fate—she had no sense of how she could interact with these “people.” She was frightened. Once she had begun her assignment, however, she recounted how the residents of the shelter became her fellow citizens, her friends even. She learned their stories, grieved with them about bad decisions, unfair circumstances, sad and distressing experiences. She stood side by side with them in their struggles to find a home and set a new course for their lives. And she rejoiced in the role she could play in listening, empathizing, offering a word or hand or whatever might help. In her experience in that service-learning course, she learned about otherness and difference in ways that would make her a better nurse, a better citizen and neighbor, a better friend. This story is why I will never give up in our efforts to make diversity a core value of our academic and common work and why I am so pleased that this issue of Augsburg Now illustrates some of our efforts to promote diversity on campus and beyond. Creating, sustaining, celebrating, and supporting diversity is an abiding challenge for our college. Whether it is diversity of perspective, religion, ethnicity, race, social class, and so forth, there are critical voices from all sides pressing us to make the case for our philosophy, commitment, experience, policies, and practices related to diversity on campus and beyond. Here at Augsburg, we have the distinct gift of at least three compelling mission-based reasons for intentionally engaging the diversity of our world. Betsey Norgard [email protected] Staff Writer Bethany Bierman [email protected] Design Manager Kathy Rumpza [email protected] Class Notes Designer Signe Peterson [email protected] • Theologically, we believe that God has created humankind in all its diversity in God’s own image. • Educationally, we believe that a liberal arts approach to learning and teaching is fundamentally committed to engaging otherness and difference so that we might genuinely understand and embrace the richness of human experience and creativity throughout the ages. • Civically, we are persuaded that educating for democracy is at least in part about preparing our students for lives in society that will require them to have the knowledge, skills, and values needed to negotiate their ways with people of diverse backgrounds and experiences. This past summer, I had the privilege of visiting Augsburg’s study site in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where I, too, learned to face my fears and stereotypes of other cultures and life experiences. We all are still learning to admit our privilege, to embrace the wonder of difference and other experiences, to live as neighbors here on campus and in our community, where the world is becoming our neighbor in very concrete and real ways. Our work to educate students for democracy cannot be uncoupled from this commitment to diversity. This is why diversity on campus, in the neighborhood and city, in the church, and in the world is important—it is the heart of a healthy democracy.

He has been active in Augsburg’s Corporate Connections program. Rev. Norman Wahl ‘75 Since 1996, Wahl has been executive pastor of Bethel Lutheran Church, the site of Augsburg’s programs in Rochester, Minn., and served on the task force that led to the formation of the Rochester campus. He has also been part of the alumni board, campaign cabinet, and on staff at the College. After Augsburg, Wahl graduated from Luther Seminary and earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from the seminary in 1997. 2 AUGSBURG NOW MBA consulting firm to start Small businesses and non-profits in Rochester can qualify for probono consulting services from Augsburg’s Rochester MBA students and graduates. This new service, Augsburg Alumni Consulting Team (AACT), extends the MBA field service program, in which all students work with a client in the community on business issues and applications. A “full-team” consultation by AACT on critical strategic or management issues will be staffed by four to eight volunteers. A “fast track” for focused issues will involve one to three volunteers in two or three client meetings. And, a “board match” program will help nonprofits build their board leadership. Additional support services—database design, Web design, research, etc.—may be added by Augsburg undergraduate business and computer science students. This College-sponsored consulting service will offer both experience and exposure to the students and alumni, and include a review process to build case studies. While beginning in Rochester, AACT hopes to also expand the program to the Twin Cities. For information, contact William Aguero at [email protected]. The “greening” of Augsburg Augsburg imagines environmental stewardship as central to its mission as a Lutheran college in the city. President Paul Pribbenow says, “The Augsburg College community is deeply committed to what it means to build a sustainable urban environment. … Our relationships with our diverse neighbors, with the Mississippi River, and with other neighborhoods in our vibrant city are opportunities for learning, for civic engagement, and for faithful service.” The institutional committee that grew out of a learning community seven years ago is now named the Environmental Stewardship Committee and provides leadership for the College in areas addressing sustainability. The committee’s growing website offers information and resources in the following initiatives: • Recycling/waste reduction—Recycling bins have risen to nearly 75% capacity in the last year and new equipment across campus reduces water consumption and energy usage. The College recycles household items to community organizations and established a re-use table. A number of measures adopted reduce storm water run-off from campus, which, perhaps more than anything else, has had an impact on water quality in the Mississippi River. • Transportation—Two light rail stations within walking distance and reduced fare bus-rail passes help the Augsburg com- munity increase its use of public transit, freeing up parking spaces. Accessible bike trails provide alternatives to driving. • HOURCAR—Augsburg is the newest neighborhood hub for HOURCAR—a hybrid vehicle that can be rented. • Curriculum—Across the curriculum, courses address sustainability issues, and study abroad is available in metrourban studies. A new environmental studies program is scheduled to launch in fall 2007. • River stewardship—Augsburg is an official “steward” of a portion of the Mississippi River near campus and regularly hosts “clean-ups” to prevent pollution. The Environmental and River Politics course explores issues related to restoration of the river ecosystem and ways in which our relationship to the river reflects the health of our community. • Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College—In its three years, Campus Kitchen has kept more than 35,000 pounds of food out of landfill and turned it into over 37,000 meals for the community. In the next year, Augsburg plans to launch a community garden to bring neighbors together and provide food for community organizations. • Building a green campus—The Environmental Stewardship Committee has a voice in the ongoing planning for the new Science Center, which includes a “green” roof and maximal use of sustainable architecture and products. Michael Lansing, assistant professor of history, wrote in the Augsburg Echo about Christensen Symposium speaker Douglas John Hall’s comments on “stewardly vocations.” Hall argued that everyone must make stewardship of the environment both a personal and collective priority. Lansing wrote that stewardly vocations “push us all toward recognizing and caring for the many other forms of life that we depend on for sustenance and comfort.” To learn more about sustainability at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/green or contact Tom Ruffaner, chair of the Environmental Stewardship Committee, at [email protected]. —Betsey Norgard Fond farewell to ‘Mr. Augsburg’ On Sept. 30 Jeroy Carlson ’48 officially retired from the campus and community he first came to more than 60 years ago. During that time, he served Augsburg as a student, volunteer, alumni director, and development officer. At a packed reception in his honor, Carlson was presented with a baseball jersey bearing his No. 10 and a “Jeroy Carlson” baseball card. He was also presented with framed photos of the Augsburg campus, as he knew it and as it is today. Known as “Mr. Augsburg” by his classmates and colleagues, Carlson excelled as a student-athlete in baseball, basketball, and football, and was part of four MIAC championship teams. He continued to work with the A-Club and helped establish the Augsburg Athletic Hall of Fame. In 1991, after serving on the alumni board and as director of alumni relations, the alumni office was dedicated as the Jeroy C. Carlson Alumni Center. See the winter 2005-06 Augsburg Now for a feature story on “Mr. Augsburg.” Vice President Tracy Elftmann ‘81 presents Jeroy Carlson with a baseball jersey bearing his no. 10. WINTER 2006-07 3 AROUND THE QUAD COMMENCEMENT Two commencements at Augsburg Beginning this year, Augsburg will offer two commencement ceremonies, in order to recognize the different academic calendars followed. A May 5 ceremony will be held for day students and physician assistant students who are on semesters; a June 24 ceremony will honor Weekend College, Rochester, United Hospital, and the other five graduate program students who follow trimesters. This year’s Commencement speakers are Eboo Patel on May 5, and Rev. Martin E. Marty on June 24. With a national fellowship in microbiology and an interest in infectious diseases, senior Richard Birkett is studying the genes encoding streptococcal bacteria. Senior Richard Birkett wins research fellowship Biology senior Richard Birkett is one of 43 students across the country to receive a 2006 Undergraduate Research Fellowship from the American Society for Microbiology. Its stipend funded his summer research with biology professor Beverly Smith-Keiling. The project, applied for jointly by Birkett and Smith-Keiling, looks at the characteristics of streptococcal bacteria and the genes that encode them. They study a particular streptococcal protein, discovered by SmithKeiling, that binds a human immune system protein, and its role in causing infections, especially in immuno-weak people 4 AUGSBURG NOW (neo-natal babies, elderly, and others who are immuno-compromised). The research involves manipulating the protein’s DNA in the laboratory to create mutants for further study. “We were thrilled to receive this ASM Fellowship,” says Smith-Keiling. “It is a prestigious award and played a significant role as a feather in our cap as one of several steps that Augsburg is taking to secure external funding, build our undergraduate research program, and move toward more scientific research at our institution.” Birkett’s interest in infectious diseases began in summer 2005 when he traveled to Tanzania with a microbiology study abroad course through Hamline University. He visited labs and small villages, and found the experience “eye-opening” in terms of lifestyle and conditions he encountered. To gain background in research, Birkett took a pilot course at Augsburg, Introduction to Research, designed to prepare second-year students for facultyled research. He credits that course for teaching him the discipline, motivation, and critical thinking needed for scientific study. The course was repeated this past fall, and Birkett served as a peer mentor. Birkett has thrived in the microbiology laboratory, and is interested in pursuing work in the health field with infectious disease, possibly attending medical school. He, along with Smith-Keiling and other students, will present their research at the American Society for Microbiology general meeting in the spring. “Richard has been the model for what we hope to continue, as students progress from their early years without research skills to excelling as independent researchers, and the fellowship played a key role,” says SmithKeiling. “It has been a privilege and joy to work with him.” Birkett came to Augsburg from Boston as a student in the StepUP Program, which supports students in chemical recovery. He says that Augsburg has been great for him. “I came to Augsburg for StepUP; I’m staying for science and the people.” —Betsey Norgard HOMECOMING 2006 Two honored as Distinguished Alumni Augsburg’s Distinguished Alumni are recognized for their significant achievement in vocation, for outstanding contribution to church and community, and for lives that exemplify the ideals and mission of Augsburg College. Glen Person ’47 A native of Minneapolis, Glen Person grew up in Augsburg’s neighborhood. He graduated with degrees in mathematics and business, and was one of the first students in Augsburg’s new business administration department. His college studies were interrupted by World War II, where he served in the U.S. Navy. Person’s vocational career involved two 20-year employments in the insurance industry. In 1948 he started as a bookkeeper at Fidelity and Casualty Co., and left in 1968 as its bond manager.

Herald Johnson ‘68 Milana (Gorshkova) Pirogova ’96 Milana Pirogova graduated magna cum laude from Augsburg with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations, and went on to earn a master’s degree in international economics from George Washington University. In 1998 she began working for the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, in Washington, D.C. She is now an investment officer in the Global Financial Markets Department and posted in Russia, her homeland. Two of her significant projects have included working with privatization projects in Bosnia and drafting the Mortgage Securities Law with the Russian national parliament. In her current work she is able to promote awareness and resources for the much-needed economic and educational development in Russia. She also has been an eager promoter of Augsburg College to prospective students in Murmansk, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. After graduating, Herald Johnson first became an admissions officer, then Augsburg’s first financial aid officer when new federal programs required administrative oversight. Over the nearly 40 years since, he became a pioneer, leader, and mentor among all of Minnesota’s financial aid officers. He is respected both for helping students understand and access financial resources to make college possible and for mentoring young professionals in the field. He is the only person to have been twice elected president of the Minnesota Association of Financial Aid Administrators (MAFAA). Johnson collaborated with Julie Olson ’90, ’04 MAL, now vice president of enrollment management, to create and implement the Enrollment Center, which brings together several student service offices into a one-stop shop for students. Johnson retired last summer, but continues to serve as a consultant on scholarship programs and with Augsburg’s government relations office concerning financial aid issues. —Betsey Norgard WINTER 2006-07 5 Photo courtesy of Martha Gisselquist AROUND THE QUAD SUPPORTING AUGSBURG The Clement A. Gisselquist Endowed Scholarship— an Augsburg family’s music legacy 6 AUGSBURG NOW All six of Clement and Borghild Gisselquist’s children graduated from Augsburg, and most of them were choir and band members during their college years. (L to R): James ’68, Joel ’77, Rebecca ’67, Borghild, Martha ’87, John ’72, and Miriam ’83. Gisselquist extended family includes 17 relatives with Augsburg connections. Clement’s brother, professor emeritus Orloue Gisselquist, attended Augsburg, as well as two sons, Richard and David. His wife, Marilyn, came to Augsburg and completed her bachelor’s degree in 1973. Clement and Orloue’s sister Grace E. Gisselquist ’49 married the Rev. Oliver Johnson ’50. Another sister, Marilyn, attended science classes at Augsburg as part of her nurses’ training and married Vardon Quanbeck ’44. While at Augsburg, Orloue, like Clement, sang in the choir and Grace belonged to the Music Club, both sharing their brother’s love for music. Another brother, John Irving, did not attend Augsburg, but his son, John E. Gisselquist, graduated in 1984. Even more telling is the musical legacy Clement left his six children, all of whom graduated from Augsburg. The youngest, Miriam (Gisselquist) Jensen ’83 was a music major and is now an organist and piano teacher— something her mother knows would have pleased her father. John, Class of 1972, sang in the Augsburg Choir and for many years has been a member of the National Lutheran Choir, performing in concerts throughout the U.S. Judy Petree The Rev. Clement A. Gisselquist enjoyed a lifelong love of music. He graduated from Augsburg College in 1941, and during his college years he sang both in the Augsburg Choir under Henry P. Opseth and in the Augsburg Quartet as its second bass when they toured in 1940. Following Augsburg, Gisselquist graduated from Luther Seminary, and he and his wife, Borghild, served churches in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Throughout his life, he always actively promoted his churches’ music programs. Borghild recounts how especially pleased he was when his church in Sioux City, Iowa, purchased a new organ. After Clement died in 1979, the family decided to establish a scholarship endowment in his memory and designed it to benefit students “of organ and/or choral music who desire to serve, professionally or otherwise, in the ministry of music of the Lutheran Church.” “Augsburg was close to his heart and we knew that music was something he was always interested in,” comments Borghild, recalling the family discussions. The scholarship just seemed a fitting way in which they could honor their brother, husband, father, and uncle. The remarkable fact is that the Nicole (Warner) Simml ’01 (left), who performs and teaches music in Germany, joined Krista Costin ’07 (right) as soloist with the Augsburg Choir’s concert in Leipzig, Germany last May. Both Simml and Costin are recipients of the Clement A. Gisselquist Church Music Scholarship. Rachel Olson ’08 Photo courtesy of Orloue Gisselquist The Rev. Clement A. Gisselquist (far right) sang second bass in the 1940 Augsburg Quartet.

Borghild Gisselquist, Marilyn Gisselquist, and Miriam Jensen. Joel, Class of 1977, played tuba in the Concert Band for two years and sang in the Augsburg Choir during his senior year. The two oldest children, Rebecca (Gisselquist) Lien ’67 and James ’68, also sang in the choir. James is married to fellow Auggie Jane (Eidsvoog) ’73. Martha, a nurse, came to Augsburg to complete her bachelor’s degree in 1987. The Clement Gisselquist Scholarship keeps the extended family connected to Augsburg. A number of the relatives continue to grow the endowment by making gifts to the scholarship a part of their regular giving—in lieu of exchanging gifts within the family on special occasions. In the fall, Borghild said of her immediate family, “We’ve already talked about this Christmas, that we’ll make gifts to the scholarship instead of to each other.” The Gisselquists enjoy meeting the Augsburg students who receive the scholarship each year. The 2006-07 recipient, junior music major Krista Costin was studying abroad in Ghana during the fall and regrets missing the Scholarship Brunch. She fondly remembers meeting members of the Gisselquist family at last spring’s Music Scholarship High Tea. Costin sings in the Augsburg Choir and toured with the choir last May to the Czech Republic and Germany. Last year’s scholarship recipient, senior Nikki Lemire, is a harpist and a section leader in the choir at Central Lutheran Church. The 1998-99 scholarship holder, Nicole (Warner) Simml ’01, now lives in Germany and is enjoying a career performing and teaching voice. Last May she joined the Augsburg Choir in Leipzig on their tour in Germany, and joined Costin as a soloist. An earlier Gisselquist recipient, Melissa (Wieland) Bergstrom ’97 has been organist and choir director at Edina Community Lutheran Church, in addition to teaching and serving as director of choral activities at AnokaRamsey Community College. Several of the Gisselquist scholarship recipients have sub- sequently been chosen as Orville and Gertrude Hognander Music Scholars. With many of the Gisselquist Auggies making regular gifts to grow the scholarship endowment, future students—and per- haps additional Gisselquists— join Rev. Clement A. Gisselquist’s legacy to Augsburg’s music program—something that surely would please him. —Betsey Norgard Making a gift to Augsburg It’s easy to make a donation to Augsburg College.

WINTER 2006-07 7 AROUND THE QUAD SPORTS Brothers in soccer Vinnie Brooks and Ryan Kitzman are like brothers. Brothers united by soccer. For all but one year of the last dozen, the two have played on the same soccer teams—the same club teams, elementary school team, junior high team, high school team, and the same college team. Ever since they were each eight years old, growing up in Maple Grove, Minn., and attending schools in Osseo, the duo could be found on the same fields—Brooks on defense, Kitzman in the midfield. Best friends and players with similar competitive personalities, the two split for just one year— their freshman years in college, when Kitzman attended Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minn., and Brooks enrolled at Augsburg. But the pair reunited their sophomore years, became roommates, and helped to lead a renaissance in the Augsburg men’s soccer program. “I wanted to be back in the city,” Kitzman said. “I talked to Vinnie pretty much all my freshman year. I came to visit Augsburg a couple of times, and he said they were getting a new coach and a new field, so I came for another visit. Once I met [coach] Greg [Holker], it was a done deal.” So Kitzman transferred, and the pair was reunited. “We have the same style of play. We practice against each other and just go at it. It’s like we 8 AUGSBURG NOW hate each other when we’re practicing. It gets pretty intense,” Brooks said. “He’s pretty much like my replica on the field. We have some minor differences, but overall, the competitiveness and our work ethic, we just relate to each other. It just clicks. We both respect each other.” Both were starters throughout their Auggie careers and were key elements of the dramatic growth of the men’s soccer program. In Brooks’ freshman year, 2003, the Auggies finished 5-11-2 overall, 09-1 in league play. In the 2006 season under third-year head coach Greg Holker, the Auggies finished 13-3-3 overall and 5-2-3 in conference play, winning a place in the conference’s postseason playoffs. In four seasons at Augsburg, Brooks played in 67 games, starting 57, with eight assists from his defensive position. As a midfielder during his three years at Augsburg, Kitzman started 49 of 54 contests, with five goals and six assists for 16 career points. As two of only three seniors on this year’s Auggie squad, the pair acknowledges that they have been a part of a new beginning for the men’s soccer program, which they hope continues to succeed. “It’s just awesome to have this kind of success in our last year playing here,” Brooks says. “It’s like leaving a legacy behind. It’s one of the things we wanted to do. We had the first winning season here in 20 years and made the [conference] playoffs.” But the end of their senior seasons will not mean the end of soccer, or friendship, for Brooks and Kitzman. The two play on the same adult-league team and coach a youth team together in Plymouth, Minn. Brooks, a health and physical education major Auggie teammates Vinnie Brooks (left) and Ryan Kitzman (right) have played soccer together since elementary school. and business management minor, and Kitzman, a marketing major, have talked about starting a business together. “It’s almost natural for us,” Brooks said. “Some people hear about it and think it’s pretty weird. But we had the same group of friends growing up, from elementary school to junior high and high school. We were always in the same group.” “We don’t think of it as being weird,” Kitzman added. “It’s just normal for us.” —Don Stoner An amazing soccer year For the Augsburg College men’s and women’s soccer teams, the 2006 season was a history-making one. The Auggie women captured a third straight berth in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference playoffs and finished 106-2 overall, 7-3-1 in league play—the team’s fourth double-digit victory season in the past five years. Augsburg’s 15 points in conference Greg Holker, named MIAC play this season were the most for an Auggie Coach of the Year squad in the 21-season history of the program. Meanwhile, the Auggie men reached the league’s four-team postseason playoffs for the first time, finishing the season 13-3-3 overall, 5-2-3 in conference play. Augsburg finished with its most victories (13) since its MIAC championship season of 1975 (15-2-1), and claimed its most points in league play (13) since its last MIAC title season of 1980 (11-1-3 overall, 9-0-3 MIAC, 21 points). Head coach Greg Holker was named MIAC Coach of the Year this season. Augsburg was the lone school to have both its men’s and women’s soccer teams qualified for the MIAC postseason playoffs this year. Both teams set school records along the way. Both teams were unbeaten and did not give up a goal until the women were scored upon on Sept. 20—Augsburg went the farthest among all NCAA Division III soccer teams in having both its men’s and women’s teams unbeaten and unscored upon. For both the Auggie men’s and women’s teams, the future looks bright. The men lose just three senior regulars to graduation, while the women lose only five. —Don Stoner Marathoner extraordinaire Mary Croft ’79 didn’t catch the running “bug” until she was in her late thirties, a relatively late start for a serious athletic career. But that bug has taken the Augsburg alumna around the world and earned her numerous unique distinctions in the world of distance running. Croft is one of only 67 people—including just eight women—to have run in every Twin Cities Marathon over the 25 years of its existence. She has run a marathon in each of the 50 states—a feat that only 285 individuals have accomplished. And over the past quartercentury, she has run in about 140 marathons and 30 ultramarathons—races ranging from 30 to more than 100 miles in length. She credits her running career to her return to Augsburg as an adult learner to complete her bachelor’s degree in the late 1970s. She was an Augsburg student in the mid-’60s before starting her career in nursing. “One of my friends was a runner, and she was running five miles a day for her mental health. I was impressed with that, but I didn’t start running until I graduated in 1979,” Croft said. That year, she went to Duluth to watch a friend compete in Grandma’s Marathon, and was encouraged by her husband, David, to try a marathon herself. Later that year, the first Twin Cities Marathon appeared on the running calendar, and her running career kicked into high gear. “I trained for my first marathon in just 12 weeks,” said Croft, who noted that she had As a Charter Club member, Mary Croft ran her 25th Twin Cities Marathon in October, with a track record of 170 marathons in 50 states and several countries. only run a 10-kilometer race competitively before trying a 26mile, 385-yard marathon. Since then, she has run in each Twin Cities Marathon over the past 25 years, a race considered the most scenic urban marathon in the country. According to Twin Cities Marathon officials, Croft, at age 60, is the third-oldest woman of the eight to have run in each of the 25 races. She has also completed Grandma’s Marathon, a race along the Lake Superior shoreline from Two Harbors to Duluth, eight times. She has also run in two of the most famous marathons in the country, the Boston and New York races. She has competed in the Boston Marathon— a race in which runners have to achieve a qualifying time in another marathon to compete—three times, including the 100th running of the race in 1996. “It was just such a historic event,” Croft said. “Boston is the epitome of marathoning in the country.” In 2004, she accomplished the feat of running a marathon in each of the 50 states (and the District of Columbia)—becoming the 162nd person at the time to be able to make that claim. Since then, the list has grown to nearly 300 members nationwide. She has also run in marathons in Russia and Spain. In addition to her marathoning, she has also competed in long-distance ultramarathons, which brought her the most meaningful moment in her sport. In 2000, she ran in the 75th Comrades Marathon, a 56-mile race in South Africa, considered one of the top ultra-distance events in the world. “It’s the biggest sporting event in South Africa. It was the most amazing thing,” she said. “They were so wonderful. They greeted us and welcomed us to their country.” She even incorporated running into her work. As a nurse at the Minnesota state prison in Stillwater, she organized inmates and members of a local running club to run a marathon inside the prison walls each year for a decade. “We ran 112 laps around the prison yard, about 15 to 20 runners,” she said. “It was pretty well received by the prison administration.” Her best time ever was a 3hour, 18-minute effort in 1985 at the Grandma’s Marathon. Now, she runs in the 4:20 to 4:30 range; her time in the 2006 Twin Cities Marathon was 4:28.34, good enough for third place in her age group. “I just run for the health benefits and I enjoy it. If I place in my age group, it’s an added benefit,” she said. “It’s the adventure, the travel, seeing other parts of the country, which is fun.” She noted that she has been fortunate not to have suffered significant injuries during her career, which she credits to leading a lifestyle of fitness and training in moderation. She now runs about seven or eight marathons a year—“I’m always in training,” she notes— and has been involved in organizing volunteers for the marathon in Tucson, Ariz., where she and David spend their winters. The Crofts live in Bayport, Minn., during the summers. —Don Stoner WINTER 2006-07 9 AROUND THE QUAD MOVING FORWARD Kennedy Center now open The Kennedy Center for Sports and Recreation has opened for classes, with health and physical education staff and coaches moving into their new offices. It will be formally dedicated on May 4. The three-story addition to Melby Hall features a new wrestling training facility, increased classroom space, expanded locker-room facilities and expanded fitness facilities, as well as hospitality, meetingroom, and office space. The new Alan and Gloria Rice Wrestling Room provides a spacious training area for the champion Auggie wrestlers. It also provides a training facility for Greco-Roman wrestling. The Kennedy Center, the new three-story south wing added to Melby Hall, is open for classes, athletic teams, intramural teams, and fitness. In the left back corner of the photo, the roof of Lindell Library provides context to the construction of the Oren Gateway Center, scheduled for completion in the fall. Oren Gateway Center Scheduled to open in fall 2007, the four-story Oren Gateway Center will be the home of the StepUP program and other residential students in substance-free housing. The administrative section of the center will house the Institutional Advancement staff and an alumni relations conference center. On the street level, a Barnes & Noble bookstore will serve as a welcoming place in the neighborhood for books, readings, and coffee. The Gateway Center will anchor a new circular entrance to the College, flanked by Lindell Library and Foss Center. The illustration on the sign in the photo shows the orientation of the new center, facing the circular entrance to the College. 10 AUGSBURG NOW After 23 years at Augsburg, Margaret Anderson retired as head librarian in 1990. She had just spent several years studying and documenting the need for a new library building, and then convincing the College to build it. Now, 16 years later, she continues to work in Lindell Library one day a week as a volunteer— in the new building she labored to justify. In the first two years following her retirement, she took time off. But then, she couldn’t turn down a phone call asking her to help troubleshoot problems the librarians were facing in creating barcodes for all materials. There were lots of problems—“books without barcodes, and barcodes not connected to books,” Anderson says. Once that process was straightened out, she began working on a series of long-term special projects that, without additional staff and a meticulous eye, probably never would have seen the light of day. For one project, Anderson classified videotapes from many years of College events that had been turned over to the library— which meant that she first had to view each tape for content and date, and then write a short description. Another similar project involved classifying a collection of sound recordings, for which her music minor in college proved extremely helpful. With history and knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System, Anderson has also aided in classifying and cataloging fiction, the only books in the library to use the Dewey system. Her current project tops all others. In 1994, writer and activist Meridel LeSueur donated her personal library of more than 4,500 items to Augsburg College. A change in REFERENCE— from LIBRARIAN to volunteer BY BETSEY NORGARD It’s housed in the library’s Special Collections Room, but has not been easily searchable. After working for more than two years, literally from book to book, Anderson hopes next year to complete an extensive spreadsheet index that will enable the collection to be searched by title, author, and subject. In reflecting on her 40 years of library work, Anderson says that the heart of the work has not changed. “It still means connecting readers and scholars with sources,” she says, “but now, both in print and online.” What has changed dramatically is the way librarians fulfill that role, and the different tools they use. One of the tools that made a huge difference in students’ (and librarians’) lives was the development of the CLIC (Cooperating Libraries in Consortium) system, making materials from more than a dozen college libraries available on loan. In the 1960s, Anderson was a cataloguer, and she tells of how librarians phoned each other to check on availability by looking at catalog cards for all the books. She recalls that Karlis Ozolins, her predecessor as head librarian, often would track down students with cars to pick up the materials from other locations. Two decades later, catalog cards became relics and library collections became housed on a database, introducing new physical requirements for technology in libraries. Already Anderson had fought for improvements to the aging Sverdrup Library, including carpeting to replace the loose asbestos tiles she continually removed. Upstairs, it was so cold that the case for a new building became obvious when students were seen studying in mittens. In 1982 the new Weekend College increased the College’s enrollment and brought new demands on the librarians. At the time, Anderson recalls, the library staff was 4.75 full-time equivalents. Over the next few years, Anderson detailed and documented what would be required to meet College needs and help it remain competitive. In the process, she studied and visited many libraries. She made her case before retiring, and then— as a volunteer—helped supervise the move into the new building. While it’s rewarding to work in the new library, it’s really the people, she says, who keep her coming back each week. “The people I worked with have been among my best friends and they were a big reason why I wanted to stay in touch.” Since her retirement 16 years ago, Margaret Anderson has continued to volunteer in the library to stay connected with the staff she enjoyed during her career. “We just think of her as one of us,” current library director Jane Ann Nelson says about Anderson. Current cataloging coordinator Betty Joyce talks about what a wonderful mentor Anderson has been to her. Anderson’s career at Augsburg has been part of an Augsburg family affair, dating back to 1949, when her husband, Ray, was appointed to teach speech and theatre. He retired in 1990, the same year as his wife. All three of the Andersons’ sons graduated from Augsburg— Dean ’77, Stuart ’78, and Brian ’82. Stuart teaches in the Department of Physics, but also worked in the new library for several years in information technology. He still spends some time there as assistant director for instructional course design in the Center for Teaching and Learning. Ⅵ WINTER 2006-07 11 The Inauguration of Paul C. Pribbenow October 18-21, 2006 Ages of Imagination Over four days in October, Augsburg College inaugurated its 11th president, Paul C. Pribbenow. The days were filled with activities connecting its own community of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and parents with city neighbors, church leaders, and colleagues from across higher education. Events included discussions on civic engagement, roundtables on public education, service projects, and celebrations filled with music, art, and good conversation. Each day at the “Abundance” lunches, those who attended donated food and money to fill the food shelves at the nearby Brian Coyle Community Center. Inauguration Day, October 20, began with a Festival Service and Holy Communion, officiated by Mark Hanson ’68, ELCA presiding bishop, with the sermon presented by Rev. Dr. Robin W. Lovin, Southern Methodist University. The investiture ceremony was held in the afternoon. Completing the inauguration was a morning of service in the community, preceding outdoor family activities and an Auggie football game against Carleton College. For additional information and photos from the inauguration, go to www.augsburg.edu/inauguration. In a lighter moment, Paul and Abigail Pribbenow, with daughter Maya, enjoy festivities in the tent during inauguration week. Ages of Imagination The theme of the inauguration, “Ages of Imagination,” was drawn from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, one of the most influential works of British poet and artist William Blake (1757–1827). From The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked them how they dared so roundly to assert, that God spoke to them; and whether they did not think at the time, that they would be misunderstood, and so be the cause of imposition. Isaiah answer’d, “I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception; but my senses discover’d the infinite in every thing, and as I was then perswaded, & remain confirm’d; that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for consequences but wrote.” Then I asked: “does a firm perswasion that a thing is so, make it so?” He replied, “All poets say that it does, and in ages of imagination this firm perswasion removed mountains; but many are not capable of a firm perswasion of any thing.” (Top) The newly-invested President Paul C. Pribbenow greets his colleagues in higher education following the ceremony. From right to left, he greets Kathryn Jeffrey, president of Hennepin Technical College; Linda N. Hanson, president of Hamline University; Lois (Peterson) Bollman ’69, vice president of strategy, planning, and accountability at Minneapolis Community and Technical College; James L. Peterson, As Augsburg College celebrated the inauguration of its 11th president, it also celebrated its calling as a college, and imagined itself in future ages, using “AGES” to remind it of the four themes of this new era: Abundance, Generosity, Engagement, and Service. In moving these four “mountains,” Augsburg College, under the leadership of Paul Pribbenow, will continue to demonstrate how the power of imagination can transform the lives of its students and its community. 14 AUGSBURG NOW president of Gustavus Adolphus College; and (tallest, with mortar board) the president’s brother, Dean Pribbenow, dean of the School of Integrative Studies at Edgewood College.

Dr. Robin W. Lovin Cary Maguire University Professor of Ethics Southern Methodist University (Left) Rev. Robin Lovin, from Southern Methodist University, preached about moving mountains at the Festival Service on Inauguration Day. (Right) ELCA presiding bishop … I greet you on behalf of all of us who have known and worked with Paul Pribbenow over the years and benefited from his leadership in many different places. … I am also welcoming you to your own future, because those of us who have worked with Paul Pribbenow in the past know what you can expect in this new phase of the history of Augsburg College that we inaugurate today. … as I looked at the [Inauguration] program with its multiple events and its common themes, I spotted the Pribbenow imprint of energy and organization. … And I suppose that what you want to know about the future from my knowledge of the past is whether it is really true that this guy can move mountains. I’m here to tell you that he can, and I’m also going to tell you how he does it. … The way [he] moves mountains is to figure out what everybody else is already doing and tie those activities together into a single mission with a unified message, so that when the mountain moves, it’s because you moved it. … Education is supposed to be about expanding our vision of the world and changing the way we see our own place in it. It is about asking new questions, and questioning familiar answers. It should change us in fundamental ways, not just fill our heads with facts. Education is inseparable from change, personal and social, change in ideas, goals, and priorities. … and Augsburg parent Mark Hanson ’68 presided at the service. The word of greeting I bring you from the past is that great things are possible for Augsburg College, beginning today, because you have a leader who will listen to you, who can see the possibilities that you see, and who can bring them together in new ways that will empower you and energize all these people who want a future of abundance, generosity, engagement, and service for this institution. But the word I bring from the Lord, the word that cuts across past, present, and future, comes to you today in the form of a question. It is addressed equally to students, faculty, and staff, addressed to alumni, supporters, and to the church. And it is addressed to the president. The question is, “Do you really want to move the mountains?” I think you recognize the opportunity, and I pray that you will enjoy the blessings that come with accepting the vocation: That through humility and even sorrow, your hunger for truth and justice will be satisfied; that through integrity and generosity in judgment, you will see God; and that through the knowledge you create and share, the world will find peace, and you will be called the children of God.

WINTER 2006-07 15 Excerpts from “Thanksgiving” Inaugural address by Paul C. Pribbenow October 20, 2006 Thank you for being here today for this celebration of Augsburg College. I am inspired by your faithful lives, and I accept the call to be your partner in service to Augsburg with gratitude, resolve, and humility. … Authentic life—especially a life of faith—begins and ends in gratitude and in thanksgiving. We come together with the humility of thanksgiving, the recognition that life is a gift and a privilege not to be misused or misled, and, I might add, not to be missed. The late Henri Nouwen once wrote that “Gratitude … goes beyond the ‘mine’ and ‘thine’ and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift.” All of life is a pure gift. Let these words of mine, then, become my thanksgiving to God and to all of you, my psalm of gratitude for this college, for its mission and values, and for the cloud of witnesses gathered here today and scattered across time and space that hold Augsburg College in their hearts and minds. … “In ages of imagination,” [the poet William] Blake tells us, the power of the imagination, the power of belief, the power of a ‘firm persuasion’ can move mountains. We must decide, today, to live in one of those ages of imagination, in fact, to use our imaginations to create a new era for the College. … (Above) Augsburg Board of Regents chair Ted Grindal ’76 places the seal of the College around the neck of Paul C.

(Below) Student Government public relations officers Rachel Forsberg (left) and Kati Welt (right) present a giant card with inauguration congratulations from students to President Pribbenow. There are four themes to my presidency. … These four themes are Abundance, Generosity, Engagement, and Service. Think of them as the “AGES” in Ages of Imagination. … Augsburg is already blessed to have all of these things, though we sometimes don’t recognize these great gifts—gifts that God has given us, and gifts that we were meant to care for and pass on. … During my short time here at Augsburg, I have been challenged to think again about the role of colleges and universities in an urban setting. I am committed to the mutual dependency of colleges and the city. The paradigm for the relationships between cities and higher education must be less about extracting benefits from each other, less dependent on incidental impact, and more focused on the various resources that can be shared in the pursuit of a more robust, healthy, and meaningful urban life. … I know that you share with me this deep sense of thanksgiving for this college and its remarkable commitments. What we do here matters—to our students, our neighborhood, our city, the church, and the world. What we do here is significant—because our work is grounded in a deep and confident faith, because it enjoys a history of love in a community of memory and tradition, because it believes deeply in intellectual curiosity and personal courage, and because it is full of hope. What we need now is imagination—and faith, and fearlessness—to hear and follow the call to be a college committed to the liberal arts in all that we learn and teach; a college grounded in faith and values that are the source of our firm persuasion; a college located in a place full of life and urgency that draws us out of our insular selves; a college engaged with a creation rich in difference that constantly surprises us. What fun we’re going to have! Ⅵ WINTER 2006-07 17 Many of the mentors and mentees in Scholastic Connections, including both day and weekend students, gathered in November to celebrate the program’s five-year anniversary. (L to R) Jim Genia ’87, Chris Adams ’07, Natalia Pretelt ’03, Nhia Lee ’02, Luis Lopez Monterrubio ’09, Purity Ouma ’08, Mary Murzyn ’08, Killa Martinez-Aleman ’08, Eloisa Echavez ’94, ’96 MEL, Georgette Christensen ’96 MSW, Bernice Arias-Sather ’97, Julianne Lynum Leerssen ’00, Ami Nafzger ’94, Sama Sandy ’08, Ashley Stoffers ’08, Miguel Sotamba ’08, Derek Francis ’08, Alex Gonzalez ’90. MAKING connections BY BETSEY NORGARD SCHOLASTIC CONNECTIONS—THE NAME SAYS IT ALL. It’s about making connections. In November, this scholarship-mentorship program marked the beginning of its sixth year. At the annual dinner, senior Chris Adams spoke on behalf of the students. “Through this program, I’ve learned to connect with many different kinds of people,” said Adams. “This program has helped me understand the fundamentals. And these fundamentals have helped me understand the connections between hard work, talent, commitment, and their relationship to good grades, lifelong friends, engaging teachers, and a lot about life in general.” Each year, five Day College students of color—African-American, American Indian, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino—are selected by Augsburg’s four ethnic services directors for a $5,000 scholarship. They are also paired with a mentor who is an Augsburg alumnus/a of color, with the idea being to connect leaders of today with leaders of tomorrow. Most students are paired with mentors of their own ethnic group. The scholarships are renewable annually, so students can remain connected with their mentors as long as they are at Augsburg. Thirty students have participated in the program since its inception in fall 2001. 18 AUGSBURG NOW Having a mentor like Noro Andriamanalina (right), who is also an African woman and has achieved a successful career, inspired Melat Woldegebriel (left) to set higher goals for herself. Scholastic Connections was the creation of columnist, playwright, and consultant Syl Jones ’73 and was designed to assist students of color to succeed at Augsburg, while engaging our alumni of color in the College’s commitment to an intentionally diverse community. This concept of combining financial aid and mentoring garnered national notice for the program when it began. Vivian Jenkins Nelsen, president and CEO of the INTER-RACE Institute, a diversity think tank based at Augsburg, has been instrumental in implementing and sustaining Scholastic Connections. She says that while mentoring is common within community organizations and in the corporate world, she is convinced that it is vastly underrated at the college level. With Scholastic Connections, students can pursue their careers already connected with mentors, who are able to network within their own communities on behalf of their mentees. The pairs of alumni and students create their own styles of relationships. Some are largely career-driven with specific goals planned out, while others focus around personal issues, self-confidence, and life decisions. Mathew Shannon says about his mentor, Chad Jackson, “I was looking for a friend who could be supportive enough to keep me encouraged and real enough to hold me accountable to the high expectations I set for myself and the company I keep.” Attorney Jim Genia’s career has been a big factor in his mentorship with Chris Adams. Adams says that in addition to learning how Genia has been a successful lawyer, Genia has been helping him network to find an internship in a local law firm before entering law school. Xia Xiong also worked on career planning. “I definitely feel that my mentor had an impact on what I am doing with my life today,” says Xiong. “She guided me in figuring out what I wanted to do upon graduation and helped me find resources in order to get where I wanted to go. I think having someone who has gone through the same path makes it so much easier.” In some cases, cross-mentoring occurs to also connect mentees with other mentors who match their interests. Culture was an important factor in the partnership of Melat Woldegebriel, from Ethiopia, and Noro Andriamanalina, from Madagascar. Woldegebriel says, “Knowing that my mentor is from Africa and seeing her as a successful person makes me realize that I can be like her if I work hard like her. On top of her responsibility at her work, [she] takes part in church and community activities. I learned a lot from that and increased my extracurricular activities.” Andriamanalina adds, “You don’t have to be in the same discipline or line of work to have a positive and rewarding mentoring relationship. Melat and I were able to connect on many levels. We are both African women balancing different roles and expectations within and outside of our communities.” “It’s clear that although the match did not seem perfect at first, as I am in education and she is in accounting,” Andriamanalina continues, “we had so much more in common than we ever imagined and learned from one another in the process.” The value of the program to students is obvious: needed financial assistance, plus the experience of having role models who have already been through the challenges and pitfalls of college and career who can serve as guides. For the mentors, their learning often includes the satisfaction of helping others maneuver these challenges. For mentor Eloisa Echavez it is “to be energized and contribute to the development of a young professional who has many dreams and plans for the future.” Mentor Chad Jackson says, “For me it was a way to connect with an African-American student … who had gone through the same things I did. It showed me the importance of investing in youth.” The four ethnic services directors recommend alumni of Augsburg to be invited as mentors, and Jenkins Nelsen serves as the guiding force in making the mentorship connections. She provides training to both mentors and mentees on how to work together to get the most from their relationships. WINTER 2006-07 19 In addition to the individual mentoring activities, Jenkins Nelsen brings the entire group of mentors and mentees together at various times during the year for cultural celebrations and other social and community activities. Both Genia and Adams have found these gatherings to be times when the group can learn about each others’ cultures and appreciate the differences and similarities. The creation of Scholastic Connections came about in response to a difficult situation in Augsburg’s history. In 1986, alumnus Elroy Stock ’49 gave a $500,000 campaign naming gift to Augsburg. When it was discovered that he was the author of thousands of letters sent to interracial couples and adoptive parents urging “racial purity,” the College decided it would not put Stock’s name on the building. Charitable gift regulations prevented the return of the money, which led to a lawsuit by Stock that was later dismissed. In 2001, Syl Jones (himself a victim of Stock’s mail campaign) proposed an endowment in the same amount of Stock’s gift to offer scholarships for students of color and mixed race. The program supports them in achieving academic success and developing leadership skills. President Paul Pribbenow, in remarks at the annual dinner, commented that Scholastic Connections is “an example of the College at its best,” supporting its mission and commitment to provide access to college for all students. Overall, there is little doubt that the program is successful. So far, more than half of the former students have gone on to complete higher degrees. Echavez says the program enables Augsburg “to make a greater impact on the lives of the students of color going beyond the academics, extracurricular activities, and financial aid.” Woldegebriel believes that more international students of color will be attracted to Augsburg, knowing that through Scholastic Connections they can be paired with a mentor of similar cultural background. At the annual dinner, Genia, an attorney and lobbyist, spoke of the fact that among Minnesota’s 201 state legislators, there are only five or six senators Although Xia Xiong (left) comes from a different cultural background than her mentor, she appreciates the guidance that Eloisa Echavez (above) was able to give her to plan for the next steps in her studies and career. Since Echavez had never mentored anyone outside of Latino culture, she enjoys learning from Xiong and helping her pursue her dreams. 20 AUGSBURG NOW and representatives of color, with no American Indians. “The legislature is making decisions every day that affect all Minnesotans’ lives,” Genia said. “If some groups are under-represented, … then life-changing decisions are potentially being made without taking into account the unique perspectives and cultural beliefs of these groups. “Until all races are represented in the halls of government, in the business world, or in the academic world at the same rate at which they’re represented in the general population,” he concluded, “we’ll need programs like Scholastic Connections.” Ⅵ (Left) Through Scholastic Connections, Chris Adams learned to connect with different kinds of people—something that helps him in his current real estate work, and as he prepares for a law career. Jim Genia’s (far left) work as an attorney and lobbyist provides the networking to assist Adams with internships and law school in planning for that career.

F See AIBO walk … and sit … and wigg le its ears BY BETSEY NORGARD 22 AUGSBURG NOW our black-and-white dogs have taken up residence in Augsburg’s computer science lab, and sophomore Jesse Docken has become their keeper, trainer, and researcher. The dogs are called AIBO, for Artifical Intelligence roBOt, and were created by Sony Corporation in 1999. Designed as futuristic pet robots, thousands of them with price tags of $1,500-2,000 have been purchased and taught to play games, shake their legs, wiggle their ears, say their names, and let their owners know when they’re happy, angry, and bored. There is even a “four-legged league” of AIBOs that compete around the world in RoboCup, an international robotics competition. Last fall, computer science professor Karen Sutherland took the AIBOs to her Introduction to Computer Science, a course required for all computer science, mathematics, and management information systems (MIS) students. As far as robots go, the AIBOs are quite complicated crea- tures, capable of highly-advanced programming. Their best feature, however, is that their basic programming is relatively easy—much of it is self-contained and doesn’t require proficiency in a programming language. The task in the AIBO lab is for student teams of mostly freshmen and sophomores to write an easy program, transfer it to a memory card, plug it into the AIBO dog robot, and see if it goes through its routine correctly. “The code is easy to read because it uses commands that you would use for a real dog,” says sophomore Brietta Schluender. “When working with the code you are able to change the commands and numbers to see how the dog reacts; then you can easily conclude how the changes in the code make the dog’s actions differ.” The students turn on the switch and watch cautiously as their dog slowly comes to life. First a stretch, and then one, two, three, and four shakes of a paw—so far so good! After making several turns, AIBO ends with “an amazing amount of ear wiggles,” as one student describes it. Sutherland introduced the AIBOs into her class as part of a collaborative grant—with Berea College and the University of Minnesota—from the National Science Foundation. Her goal is to engage and attract more students, especially women and minority students, to computer science study. The AIBOs offer an easy way to teach the basics of programming and robotics while having fun. “It’s easy for the students to see how the AIBO reacts to their program, and it does cute things,” Sutherland says. “If they can see the program physically happen, they understand it better.” Docken, a computer science major, works with Sutherland in the class, lending a hand when students run into programming glitches or when the AIBO’s routine doesn’t work. In his own research, in addition to making the AIBOs perform various tasks, he has studied different means of programming to ascertain which methods are easier and harder. These results will inform how robots might be used in future class projects. He has enjoyed working with his new robotic pets. “I’ve been fascinated with learning how to make them do certain things, for instance, how to change which lights come on [to show emotional responses], how to make them walk, or how to make them play sounds to music.” Working with the AIBOs will help him move into more complex robotics. Docken’s primary interest is artificial intelligence (AI). “I’ve had a few ideas I’ve played around with,” he says, “and I hope to begin AI research to make algorithms that Sophomore Jesse Docken (second from left) helps junior David Yanagisawa and sophomore Alex Garver with their programming to make the AIBO dog robot perform its routine, while computer science professor Karen Sutherland looks on. Freshman Melissa Moberg (left) and sophomore Brietta Schluender joke with Docken about the tricks they can make the AIBO dogs perform. could provide a more sophisticated means of handling emotions and simulate primitive emotional responses to external stimuli.” This could be applied, he says, in many ways—to robotics for entertainment, e.g. AIBOs that can react in more real ways, to games where characters can respond to events, and to simulation. Docken has written a paper on his research that he will present at a regional conference in the spring. Sutherland is using his work plus student feedback from class labs at all three institutions involved in the NSF grant to develop a course curriculum that will appeal to a broad spectrum of students with varied career goals. And, yes, Docken says their AIBOs have been given names—Sirius, Snoopy, Scooby-Doo, and Spike. Ⅵ WINTER 2006-07 23 Polish-born Magdalena Paleczny-Zapp, associate professor in marketing, brings her experience as an international business consultant to her students in class. global MEET THE INTERNATIONAL FACULTY Associate professor Magdalena Paleczny-Zapp (management coordinator) was born and raised in Krakow, Poland, and taught in several European institutions before coming to Augsburg. Associate professor Amin Kader (international business coordinator) is from Egypt. A past president of the Islamic Center of Minnesota, he teaches Islamic Studies in addition to business. Before coming to the United States in 1970, associate professor and finance coordinator Ashok Kapoor worked at the American Embassy in his home country of India. He has brought this international experience into his Augsburg classroom since 1998. Master of Business Administration (MBA) director Bob Kramarczuk was born in western Ukraine. At the age of five, his family escaped and hid in the forest for five months keeping ahead of the front during World War II. His business Experience is a powerful teacher. In addition to study abroad programs, Augsburg’s business students have opportunities to experience global perspectives in their classrooms every day. BY BETHANY BIERMAN family was later shipped to a work camp in Bavaria before immigrating to the U.S. Associate professor Fekri Meziou, Tunisian by birth, has taught at Augsburg since 1987. “Having faculty of diverse backgrounds is important to the richness of the academic programming offered in our department,” says Meziou. “For instance, I am teaching an international marketing course that is approached from a globally diverse background. We analyze the challenges of marketing products and services in different regions around the world. This course can only be taught by someone who has traveled extensively and has immersed himself/herself during an extended stay in the life of the foreign countries.” “I grew up on a farm outside a small town,” says Jamie Schiller ’05, who currently serves as MBA program coordinator. “Most of my experience with diversity was through the business department.” Reflecting back on her undergraduate experience, Schiller remembers, “[Zapp] helped us understand global differences as well as learn to make culturally sensitive business decisions. … [Meziou] changed my life and drove me to seek out opportunities to broaden my perspective of marketing and business on a global level. He continuously brought cases to his courses that had global business challenges. … With the help of the business faculty, I was able to customize a study abroad program in England. … I have Associate professor Fekri Meziou brings case studies from his own cultural experience From his years of working at the American Embassy in India, associate professor to his international marketing course. Ashok Kapoor can teach finance, drawing on extensive knowledge of both cultural contexts. 24 AUGSBURG NOW Trading Places grown to appreciate international differences in other country’s beliefs, norms, and value sets.” “Students leave the place more openminded than the day they came,” Zapp asserts. John Cerrito, assistant professor and department chair, says, “The course descriptions are broad enough so faculty members can bring in their own flavor and expertise.” “In the current context of globalization,” says Kapoor, “my international experience comes in handy in all my classes, but especially in the international finance classes. My work experience overseas provides many examples to my students and helps them keep an open perspective leading to better decisions both professionally and in their personal lives.” Senior Dulce Monterrubio is a perfect example of this. She came to Augsburg from her hometown of Mexico City. She says, “It was Magda’s own experience as an international business consultant that made me understand that being an international student here at Augsburg was just the first step, but that successfully adapting to a second, third, or fourth culture would be what truly would make me the international educator/professional I wanted to become.” Monterrubio is using her cultural experiences, which include studying abroad in Spain, in her current role as a program assistant in Augsburg’s Center for Global Education. Along with representing differences in ethnic backgrounds, there is significant religious diversity represented in the department. “The department really does have an interesting diversity of faith expressions,” comments assistant professor Lee Clarke, who also happens to be a former ELCA minister. “For some, it’s very clear to students because of culture and nationalities. Ashok [Kapoor] is very upfront talking about his Hindu faith, and Amin [Kader] and others are Islamic. For others, it’s not as intentional… Because religion is so close to culture, it gives students a taste of some of the challenges in global business.” Cerrito agrees. “The College goes out of its way to be diverse. In 1983 when I came, I did not represent the faith, culture, or ethnic background the culture [of Augsburg] represents, and I’ve never been anywhere where I’ve felt more accepted.” (Cerrito is Roman Catholic and of Italian descent.) Kapoor says, “Both my cultural and religious background allows me to bring a very different perspective to issues of the day that we discuss both among colleagues and with our students.” Consider two college students in 1980—one, a student at the University of Minnesota; the other, studying at the University of Tunis. Both had the desire to see the world through a new culture. The two are allowed to exchange places through the International Reciprocal Exchange Program. After her time in Tunisia, the American returns to Minnesota; the Tunisian young man decides to stay in America to pursue his academic objectives. The two meet while serving as cochairs for a selection committee to choose and orient another student exchange. Years later, the two cross paths again, this time at Augsburg College, where they both now work. Their names? Regina McGoff, associate director of the Center for Global Education, and Fekri Meziou, associate professor of business. Meziou says the exchange “was a wonderful opportunity to share experiences and academic ideas with international students from a number of countries around the world… International exchanges enable students to immerse LAYER IN CORPORATE EXPERIENCE A different kind of culture—corporate culture—is also something faculty add to the international mix. Prior to coming to Augsburg in 1995, David Schwain, assistant professor, served on Assistant professor Lee Clarke combines both his cor- themselves in the cultural, social, political, and economic life of another country.

WINTER 2006-07 25 ALUMNI NEWS From the Alumni Board president … Greetings fellow Auggies, As I write this, fall is settling in and the transition to winter is in the air. Homecoming week was a great set of events—I hope you could attend some of them. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about our Distinguished Alumni and Spirit of Augsburg and First Decade awardees. Their recollections of what life was like at Augsburg 30-40-50 years ago reminded me of how much has changed and is changing around us all the time. Homecoming also set a great stage for President Pribbenow’s inauguration. I was honored to represent the alumni in the Inauguration Ceremony and the four days of events surrounding it. The theme of AGES—Abundance, Generosity, Engagement, and Service—is one we can all be proud of and take part in as we live our lives in service to the broader world. If you want to learn a little more about Augsburg’s year of transition I highly recommend the inauguration webpage, www.augsburg.edu/inauguration, and the President’s office page, www.augsburg.edu/president. By the time you read this, Advent Vespers, Christmas, and the new year have come and gone, and before too long, Easter will arrive. Then, in May, another commencement arrives. I’m starting to deeply appreciate my grandmother’s insight when, at 90, she told me that the years never seem to go by more slowly. It’s always faster and faster. As your new year unfolds, I wish you all the best in your transitions. Barry M.

Centennial Singers head to the Southwest Following a successful series of concerts in Florida in 2006 and their annual fall concert season in Minnesota, the Augsburg Centennial Singers will reprise their 2005 tour in Arizona in February 2007, with additional concerts in Nevada and Utah. Directed by Alfred (Al) Reesnes ’58, the Singers reflect the gospel quartet tradition at Augsburg. Formed in 1993 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Augsburg gospel quartet that traveled to Norway, the Singers have toured Norway twice, most recently in 2001. “Seeing alumni and other friends of Augsburg is a wonderful part of the touring,” says Reesnes. “Our guys love to sing songs of praise and we are looking forward to returning to the Southwest.” Also featured in the concert are songs by a quartet, led by Paul Christensen ’59, and including Norm Anderson ’60, Paul Mikelson ’70, and Jon Lueth, husband of alumna Marilyn (Buschbom) ’71. This group recalls Augsburg’s strong gospel quartet tradition over many years. In addition, a second quartet now presents songs from a more Southern gospel tradition.

Pribbenow, president of Rockford College in Rockford, Ill., has been elected as the 11th president of Augsburg College by its board of regents. “We are confident that Dr. Pribbenow has all the qualities of leadership and passion needed to continue Dr. [William] Frame’s work at Augsburg College,” said Jean Taylor ’85, chair of the Board of Regents. “He has already demonstrated that he is an accomplished communicator, a person who can demonstrate his own sense of Christian vocation, a skilled administrator, and a visible leader, actively participating in the life of the campus and surrounding community.” Presidential search committee chair and regent Ted Grindal ’76 expressed his thanks and gratitude to the entire Augsburg community for their participation in the search process. “After a very thorough and successful search, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Pribbenow as Augsburg’s next president,” Grindal said. “In Paul Pribbenow, we feel we have found a successor who will not only carry on Augsburg’s commitment to being a college committed to a Christian understanding of vocation, but will maximize its exciting potential for the future.” “This is the work I believe I was called to do, and I look forward to serving as Augsburg’s next president,” Pribbenow said. “I firmly believe that my experiences and commitments are a remarkable fit for the mission and needs of the College.” Paul C. Pribbenow was born in Decorah, Iowa, in 1957. He received his bachelor’s degree in sociology/political science from Luther College, and his master’s degree in divinity and his doctorate in social ethics from the University of Chicago. He has served as president of Rockford College since 2002. Since his arrival there, Pribbenow has launched several new educational initiatives, including working with faculty and staff to develop the Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement. This program’s primary responsibility, according to Pribbenow, “is to find ways to work with students to integrate their education, co-curricular activities, spiritual experiences, and service to the community as part of an intentional vocational formation initiative.” He has also been an integral part of expanding Paul C. Pribbenow opportunities for the campus and its community to join together in a variety of collaborative efforts. He and his wife, Abigail, an arts administrator, have two young children.

Spring 2006 Mexico social work consortium receives award Courtesy photo by Betsey Norgard A Spring 2006 Students in the 2004 spring semester program in Mexico visited the pyramids of Xochicalco to learn how pre-Hispanic cultures regulated the solar calendar. is noteworthy in several regards beyond the challenges of satisfying the needs and criteria of nine different institutions. Foremost, it makes possible a study abroad experience for social work students at colleges that can’t sustain their own individual programs. Also, because the program is ongoing, issues of social work in developing countries are constantly part of department discussions and curriculum. Returning students readily talk about the program as life transforming. “Students who return from Mexico have a window into the lives of Hispanic and Latino communities impossible to gain domestically,” commented social work professor Nancy Rodenborg. She said the department hopes to take advantage of this experience in working with Twin Cities’ Spanish-speaking populations. Also cited in the award is the program’s shared ownership and governance among the partner institutions in Minnesota and South Dakota—both public and private— allowing social work students equal access to study abroad. Rodenborg stated that a large part of the success of the program is due to the Center for Global Education’s expertise in offering international education and the resources available at its Mexico center. Courtesy photo ugsburg is part of a social work consortium that has been honored for its semester study program in Mexico. The consortium was awarded the 2006 Global Commission Partners in Education Award by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in recognition of “the contributions of individuals, organizations, and others as partners in advancing education for international social work.” The development of the BSW Mexico Consortium of the Minnesota/South Dakota Area, which includes both private and public institutions, was more than two years in the making and is remarkable for the complexity of issues it negotiates. The study courses meet all the schools’ curricular needs and allow social work students to participate without delaying their graduation date. Financial costs were worked out so that students pay only their home-school tuition (plus airfare), regardless of which partner institution they attend. The program, “Social Work in a Latin American Context,” is based at the Center for Global Education (CGE) study center in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and includes study of Mexican culture, intensive Spanish language instruction, a social work course, and either a field practicum or comparative social policy course. A several-week homestay gives students a chance to experience living with a Mexican family. There is also a two-week exchange with students in the School of Social Work at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in Mexico City. Cultural content courses are taught by CGE staff, and the social work content is taught by a rotating visiting faculty member from one of the partner schools. Augsburg social work professor Barbara Lehmann is currently in Cuernavaca, teaching for the second year. The BSW Mexico Consortium model Social work students visited Tlamacazapa, a rural village where Claudia (in red, above) helped them learn to weave. Schools belonging to the BSW Mexico Consortium are Augsburg College, Bemidji State University, Bethel University, College of St. Catherine/University of St. Thomas, Metropolitan State University, St. Cloud State University, St. Olaf College, University of Sioux Falls, and Winona State University.

It meant making the contacts, meeting with corporate officials, and following up on the research. Sometimes it’s even possible to tie ABO activities into coursework for some extra credit. A ugsburg business students realize the importance of stepping out of the classroom to gain “real-world” experience, and the Twin Cities offers them plenty of opportunities. The Augsburg Business Organization (ABO) aims to provide them a platform to do this. Students join ABO to learn more about the business world, to meet corporate leaders, and to network in search of opportunities for projects, internships, and future employment. Since ABO is student-run, they gain leadership and professional skills as they brainstorm, contact, and arrange for speakers and trips. Founded five years ago by business major Rod Gonzalez ’04, ABO currently has about 15 active students, with a number of others who participate in various events. In January, 12 ABO students traveled to Chicago for an activities-packed three days of visits to CEOs and businesses, following up on contacts from Augsburg’s Development Office. While there they visited three businesses—Chase Bank, Hydrotech Manufacturing Co., and the H&K law firm; plus, they met with executives and toured the Mercantile Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank. “The Chicago trip was a unique opportunity,” said senior business major and ABO member Nii Mensah, “in that it gave us an opportunity to see many different aspects of the city in both a business and urban sense.” Building a portfolio of experience Anthony Haupt, a senior from Red Wing, Minn., and the current president of ABO, has taken good advantage of opportunities in ABO for his own leadership growth. Last year after arranging for Greg Smith ’72 to be a guest speaker at ABO, he kept in contact with Smith, who is chief operating officer of Walden Automotive. It led to a summer internship at the Denny Hecker 4 Anthony Haupt, senior international business management major and president of the Augsburg Business Organization, hopes to involve more business professionals and Augsburg business alumni in the student organization. Automotive Group where Haupt did financial analysis and project management work. He and Smith still keep in touch, and Smith continues to suggest other contacts from whom Haupt can learn. “ABO has opened many doors for me, like the summer internship,” Haupt says, “and has put me in leadership roles with responsibility.” Haupt also strengthened his major in international business management with a semester study program in Barcelona, Spain, that included courses in international business and Spanish. He hopes his minor in Spanish will support future work with a company that has an international presence. He also completed an internship in a healthcare organization, and will seek opportunities to gain training in project management and/or account management after he graduates in May. Even as a part of their coursework, the business administration faculty push students to connect with the business community. Haupt cites his international marketing class in which students had to choose a Minnesota company with ABO seeks business contacts Haupt’s vision for ABO is for the organization to build a network of Twin Cities business professionals, especially Augsburg business alumni. What students hope to gain, he says, are relationships with the business community and access to business expertise, experience, and information. Business professionals should be assured, Haupt says, that Augsburg students are well-educated and eager to get their feet wet in the business world. He cites several examples of past student leaders, like the ABO presidents, who have transformed internships into job opportunities, and used their experiences as springboards into a career. How to connect with ABO ABO offers these ideas for connecting Augsburg business alumni and other business professionals with students: • Volunteer as a guest speaker at an ABO event • Participate in a resource network for business students • Host Augsburg business students at your company or workplace • Join the Take an Auggie to Lunch program • Help ABO with fundraising to support trips and other activities To learn more or participate in ABO activities, contact Anthony Haupt at <[email protected]> with your name, class year (if you are an alumnus/a), title and place of work, and e-mail and/or telephone number. Spring 2006 Sports For current sports information, scores, and schedules go to <www.augsburg.edu/athletics>. Auggies inspire hoop dreams in neighborhood kids by Don Stoner H elping young members of the CedarRiverside neighborhood learn about the game of basketball was a “slamdunk” proposition for the Augsburg College men’s basketball team. In January, the Auggies invited 50 boys and girls from the Cedar-Riverside Community School, which primarily teaches immigrant children, to attend a morning basketball clinic at Si Melby Hall. Head coach Aaron Griess and members of the Augsburg squad showed children the basics of the game, then broke up into smaller groups to work individually with them. Each group took part in fun games with the Auggie players, where they were able to put their newly-learned skills into practice. The clinic ended with an impromptu dunking exhibition from members of the Augsburg squad, to the cheers of the youngsters watching. “We’re proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of young people who haven’t had the same opportunities that other children have, and we’re committed to helping build the community we live in,” said Griess, in his first season as Augsburg’s head coach. The clinic was organized by Griess and Mary Laurel True, associate director of Augsburg’s Center for Service, Work, and Learning. “Spending time with the kids, watching them laugh, and teaching them some basketball skills was a tremendous joy,” Griess said. “Each and every one of our students put their hearts into the short period of time they spent with the kids, and we’re all looking forward to the next opportunity.” ade h gr a, 4t Laur Fadum o, 4th grade Thank you, Auggies! “I had fun learning with you guys.

I have been the trip leader for three summer study trips in 2000, 2003, and most recently last summer, July 1-22, 2005. I gathered a group of educators—classroom teachers, a preservice teacher, and teacher educators—to travel to Namibia to learn about the country and her people, focusing on the education system. In collaboration with the Center for Global Education, my goals for the trip were to introduce Namibia by visiting various locations; by hearing from Namibians working in a variety of sectors, especially teachers, principals, and faculty from the University of Namibia and teachers’ colleges; by accessing local media; and by being immersed in a culture so different from ours, and yet the same. I was pleased that our group bonded easily as a community and blended like a fine-tuned melody. We benefited from the two University of Namibia students preparing to be teachers who joined us and added depth to our understanding of schools and the influence of culture. A highlight for this trip was a oneday conference for teachers in the Windhoek area hosted by our group, with the help and facilitation of many others. We gathered at the Rossing Conference Center in Khomasdal, a suburb of the capital city, Windhoek— 50 people interested in schools, teachers, learners, and all areas related to education—for sessions titled “The Important Role of Teachers in NationBuilding.” The speakers, facilitators, and organizers were both Namibians and the members of our group. The results far exceeded what could be stated here. We explored large issues impacting all teachers. We built professional links—both individual and group—that would sustain relationships after we returned to the U.S. And we Courtesy photo Garry Hesser, sociology and metrourban studies, co-presented “Toward the Public Good: Maps, Lenses, and Models of Civic Engagement,” at the Association of American Colleges and Universities conference in November.

Spring 2006 Courtesy photo On a visit to the Haganeni Primary School in Walvis Bay, Namibia, the educators enjoyed meeting the students, or “learners.” Courtesy photo helped to respond to the need of all teachers to discuss important issues, realizing how vital it is for people involved in the process of educating our children and youth to have opportunities for dialogue and reflection. Because of the cultural differences unfamiliar to me, I appreciated working with the Namibians who helped to make the conference relevant and meaningful for everyone. It will be months and years before we can realize what this trip has meant to us as individuals. We have tried to spread the word about Namibia, a very silent country on the world stage. Our worldviews have been forever changed by images of Namibian teachers, of the children and youth, and of the life we witnessed in the coastal cities as different from the villages in the north. We heard the voices of Namibians telling of their past, and we learned about the current struggles toward the constitutional goals of their 16-year-old nation. We witnessed the joy of people together, and enjoyed being in the company of a youth group building their lives. And we read about the hopes and dreams of people looking toward the future. Our global vision has expanded as a result of this experience. I am grateful to the Center for Global Education staff—both here and in Namibia—whose expertise helped us create the best learning environment for our experience. In our own group, individuals acted beyond any expectations in caring for each other, challenging thinking, and with kindness to all. I have been a teacher for 38 years. The experiences I’ve enjoyed are true gifts to me as a teacher, and, also, to my students at Augsburg. Gretchen Irvine is assistant professor of education.

Department of Public Safety— Augsburg’s 411 by Betsey Norgard L ocked out? … Too hot in your room? … Need a jump for a dead battery? … Want to know when the hockey game starts? … Need a ride from the lightrail station? These are just samples of the questions fielded by the Department of Public Safety. Headed by John Pack, who came to Augsburg nearly three years ago after 13 years at the University of Minnesota, this office operates 24/7 and oversees the College’s switchboard communications, facilities management requests, campus security, and communications and emergency management. Pack tries to get the word out about their services, especially about campus safety. Each summer at orientation, he enjoys talking with new students and their parents. “The message is that Augsburg is in the heart of the city,” Pack says, “which brings tremendous opportunities, but also some challenges, mostly parking and security.” Public Safety strives to ensure that everyone in the Augsburg community feels safe. Escort services are available to any of the parking lots and for students who go back and forth from internships or service projects in the neighborhood. Security officers also provide rides to and from the nearby lightrail stops. A phone call from two stops away gets students a quick ride back to campus. Pack has initiated regular meetings of security personnel from Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, FairviewRiverside, College of St. Catherine, and the Minneapolis police to share information and coordinate prevention efforts in order to decrease incidents overall. A recent incident illustrates this cooperative relationship. At a building near the edge of campus, an intoxicated person, not part of the Augsburg community, slipped, fell, wedged his head between two pipes, and went into respiratory distress. Augsburg security officers on routine patrol noticed him and called 911. Officer Annie DeYoung stayed with the injured man, monitoring his medical condition, until rescue personnel arrived. Firefighters needed the Jaws of Life to free the man and rush him to the emergency room. The firefighters credited DeYoung with saving the man’s life—for assessing the situation quickly and applying the medical treatment that kept his airway and breathing clear until they arrived.

It’s one of the smallest spaces in the maze that is Memorial Hall, a former dormitory and the second oldest surviving building on campus. The room can’t be more than 6 x 6 and would be more suitable as a walk-in closet—or perhaps a very large coffin. My office desk, an old metal one of modest size and a rosy beige hue, faces the wall beneath an enormous Saul Steinberg print of America as viewed from Manhattan. Before I got my laptop, Manhattan was unfortunately hidden behind my computer, just as Minnesota has blotted out most of my New York past over the last 20 years. On the wall behind me as I sit at my desk, the floor-to-ceiling shelves are overflowing with books, papers, knickknacks (mostly mementoes from past students and pictures of my wife and son), and last year’s posters for campus events. The filing cabinet next to Spring 2006 the door obscures some of the shelves and is buried under debris. Confidential student records are now filed on top of the cabinet for easy access—even to passers-by in the hallway: It’s my version of the Freedom of Information Act. Behind the door and next to the desk is another freestanding bookcase, also overflowing and surmounted by stacks of texts and paper—for creative writing, I think. The walls and the hallway side of the door are plastered with notices, reminders, pictures drawn by my son, and posters of events I had a hand in— like the first GLBT alumni reunion and art show: “Out and About.” The window, however, I love best. When I sit at my desk and look out, it’s like Rear Window; I can spy on a whole set of neighboring offices. But if I push back just a little and face the outside, I see Augsburg’s little quad, an Edenic version of my little closet. Maybe that’s why I can’t leave: because this little cubby across the floor from an old dormitory bathroom that sports mold from the era of Warren G. Harding and College President George Sverdrup is the quintessential professorial space. Like the brain in Dickinson’s poem, my office “is wider than the sky.” My little cabinet contains a world of thoughts—from the books behind and beside me to the computer on my desk to the many visiting colleagues and students who come to share their inner lives with me. I need their stifling and stimulating proximity. My office is certainly no “proud, ambitious heap” nor “built to envious show,” but a place in which, like the Sidneys at Penshurst in Jonson’s famous poem, I can “dwell.” Doug Green is professor of English.

Spring 2006 Here, we highlight some of the myriad opportunities our location offers to learn, serve, volunteer, intern, experience, shop, compete, perform, keep fit, have fun, and so much more! Teach. Reach. Feed. Lead. That’s the motto of the Campus Kitchens Project, based in Washington, D.C., that combines preparing and delivering meals, partnering in the community, training for employment opportunities, and providing service learning for students. Since opening on campus in 2003, the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg has served more than 25,000 meals to community organizations. The program, which is student organized and run, is based in the College’s food service facilities, and works with surplus food from the food service and local food banks. Two shifts of student volunteers each week prepare meals and deliver them to six locations the next day. The students spend time in each location, getting to know and talking with the people being served. Above, at Peace House in the Phillips neighborhood, junior Jeanette Clark talks with a visitor. She and other students deliver meals on Thursdays to the 30-50 people who drop in to Peace House for conversation, fellowship, and nourishment. During the summers, Augsburg’s Campus Kitchen operates a job training program to train and certify unemployed people in food management culinary skills to help them find jobs. 11 Trick or treat—dorm style Targeting a career Each Halloween, ghosts, goblins, and other costumed characters wander the halls of Urness and Mortensen Halls, going from door to door trick-or-treating. They’re neighborhood children invited to campus by LINK, the student service organization, for fun, games, treats, and, sometimes, a haunted house. LINK provides the candy, and students provide the fun for the kids. Tim Benson ’00, graduated with a business administration/marketing major and a minor in management information systems. Benson picked up his first downtown corporate experience at a summer internship with Accenture (then Andersen Consulting). He found it to be great preparation for the business world that he couldn’t have learned in a classroom— “protocols, unwritten rules, and business speak”—that helped him get a foot in the door at Target Corporation. He started as a business analyst and was eventually promoted to a supply chain expert. Now he is manager of an eight-person team in the kitchenware department, which is responsible for about 1,000 items and hundreds of millions of dollars in sales annually in all 1400+ Target stores. A day at the Soap Factory (map #10) As part of AugSem, their first-year seminar, students in ART 102 Design spent an afternoon at the Soap Factory. This turn-ofthe-century wood and brick warehouse, which formerly housed the National Purity Soap Factory, has been turned into an art gallery featuring work by emerging artists, and offering available studio space. The afternoon was part of City Service Projects Day, which started with a 20-minute walk to the gallery through the historic flour mill district. At the gallery, the students helped take down one show and prepare to install another. They cleaned floors, scrubbed and squeegeed walls, and moved furniture. The students got first-hand experience in what a gallery is—or not, i.e. it’s not just clean floors and bright lighting. Since a number of these students intend to major in art-related fields, this gave them an opportunity for a service project in something that really interested them. Plus, the gallery director told them that what they were able to do for the gallery in three hours would have taken the staff all week to complete. 12 (map #2) Staying connected with kids (map #9) Kristy Bleichner graduated from Augsburg in 2002 with a major in social work. While a student, she began to volunteer for Wednesday Night Out, a program sponsored by Trinity Lutheran Church. For this, Trinity partners with community organizations, including Augsburg, to provide suppers for neighborhood families, giving them a place to gather and talk. After supper, Bleichner and other student volunteers take the children to a nearby gym for games, making it more convenient for their parents to talk with each other about family and community issues. Even after graduating nearly four years ago, Bleichner has wanted to stay connected with these families and continues to devote time to the Wednesday Night Out program. Spring 2006 A school of many cultures (map #5) Around-the-world food Five blocks from Augsburg lies the only school in the country located in a high-rise apartment building. The Cedar-Riverside Community School, a K-8 charter school sponsored by Minneapolis Public Schools, is in the midst of Minneapolis’ most diverse neighborhood, largely Somali and East African. The school serves mostly immigrant children, from nearly a dozen different countries, some of whom never had any formal education before arriving in the U.S. Each week nearly 30-40 Augsburg students tutor and mentor at the school, and provide instruction or support during the year in music, art, piano lessons, physical education, science, and health. Augsburg elementary education students in Professor Jeanine Gregoire’s science methods class teach hand-on science units at the school. In the photo, Pa Kou Yang ’05 is working with two second-graders. When Augsburg moved to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in 1872, it was home to a thriving community of Scandinavian immigrants. Again, it is a center for many people recently arriving in the U.S., primarily from Somalia and East Africa. The neighborhood has more than 20 restaurants, most of which serve ethnic foods; as well as ethnic clothing stores, grocers, and art galleries; and a Lutheran church and a mosque. As part of the first-year AugSem group, students visited area businesses and tried out some of the nearby restaurants. In this photo, a group sits around the table at Addis Ababa, an Ethiopian restaurant down the block from campus. Helping women stay fit at FOLC Caring for the mighty Mississippi (map #5) Eilidh Reyelts ’06 (facing front at right in photo), a senior biology and premedical major, began volunteering last year with Rachel Domier ’05 (left) at Family Opportunities for Living Collaboration (FOLC) at Riverside Plaza. This center encourages community members to work together at meeting the needs of neighborhood residents, many of whom are immigrants or refugees with little understanding of English or of American customs and health practices. Reyelts and Domier were both Lilly Interns and designed internships to explore areas within their vocational interests. Twice a week at FOLC they taught exercise to immigrant and refugee women, and helped them monitor their weight and blood pressure. Reyelts also is a Citizen Scholar through the Campus Compact program. As an AugSem leader, she took new students on a tour of the neighborhood and to FOLC. Reyelts’ vocational goals include a career in medicine or public health. Spring 2006 With the Mississippi River within a stone’s throw, Augsburg has joined the network of “river stewards” and has “adopted” a section of the river just downstream from campus. Planned activities involve students in litter clean-up, trail monitoring, placing stenciled warnings on storm drains to prevent pollution into the river, monitoring invasive species, and trail monitoring. In the summer, political science professor Joe Underhill-Cady teaches Environmental and River Politics, a course that looks at the challenges of balancing economic development, social justice, and environmental stewardship. Students spend time on the river and meet with people involved in river-related issues. 13 Courtesy photo H U R R I C A N E K AT R I N A : R E S P O N D I N G F R O M T H E H E A RT Medicine for both patient and doctor The days were long, the work was physically exhausting. What Augsburg alumni Paul Mueller ’84, M.D., and Rick Seime ’70, Ph.D., encountered in the hurricane-devastated areas of southern Louisiana was far worse than news reports could show. But, Mueller describes returning to Minnesota rejuvenated and thankful for the opportunity to help. Seime says he would do it again in a heartbeat. Mueller, an internist with a public health background, and Seime, a psychologist, both at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., served on different medical relief teams. They were a part of Operation Minnesota Lifeline, a collaboration of healthcare volunteers from Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota, College of St. Catherine, and the American Refugee Committee. Sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Health, their work helped to 14 by Betsey Norgard bridge the crisis period by treating immediate medical needs and connecting people to resources until more permanent public health clinics were set up. For two weeks each, Mueller’s and Seime’s teams operated from a base in Lafayette, La., and were housed at a Baptist church. Each day they set out in vans supplied with medicines, supplies, and vaccines, to treat people in the field, most of whom were either Hurricane Katrina evacuees from New Orleans or residents of the areas ravaged by Hurricane Rita. The medical teams were multidisciplinary, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and others. But, everyone served as a mental health counselor because the need was so great. Many people had lost everything they owned, had lost contact with family members, and had lost their medications and medical providers. Many simply just needed to talk. Despite their adversities, Seime was “impressed with their resiliency, in the faith they had, and in the way they came together to help each other out.” Both Mueller and Seime remark about the gratitude expressed by hurricane victims for the care they received from the medical teams. In Johnson’s Bayou, La., a coastal town almost totally destroyed by Hurricane Rita, Mueller met Rhonda, “a salt-of-the-earth person” and one of a very few who had returned to her home. Above: Mayo Clinic internist Dr. Paul Mueller ’84 (left) and Sr. Romana Klaubaus (right), a nurse from the College of St. Catherine, posed with residents of Johnson’s Bayou (La.). There they met Rhonda (second from right), a local emergency medical technician, who helped them find and treat the residents who had moved back. Spring 2006 Courtesy photo left Lafayette at 4:45 a.m. and worked until 10 p.m. that night. The team consulted all day, but still could not meet with everyone seeking help. His most vivid memory is of Miss Cindy, who came to be vaccinated in Eunice, La. He listened to her story of riding out the storm in her apartment building in New Orleans. When the levees broke, she told of trying to get help to rescue the other tenants in her building, and of wading in the water to get to boats. Not all survived, and she told of an elderly man who had to turn back. They saw him drown without being able to offer assistance. Miss Cindy was so grateful for the medical team’s help that she baked a Cajun meal to thank them and drove it 35 miles to the church where Seime and his colleagues were staying. Drawing on his background in both internal medicine and public health, Mueller felt “called” to respond to the medical needs in Louisiana. Seime considered it a privilege to serve and was glad for the opportunity, even taking into account the 21 hours each way on the bus. Paul Mueller ’84, M.D., is a member of the Augsburg Board of Regents and serves on the Science Center Task Force. Rick Seime ’70 is a Distinguished Alumnus and member of Augsburg’s Science Advisory Board. Mueller’s medical team set up shop in a FEMA trailer park, where many evacuees were living in tents.

Even though the local gas station her husband owned had been destroyed, Mueller says she was “amazingly happy and optimistic, and determined to re-build.” He tells of how Rhonda knew everybody—those who had returned to town, their ages, what medicines they took, etc. She was a volunteer emergency medical technician and rode with the team in their van, taking them to each of the homes where returning residents could be vaccinated and treated. Seime spent one day on a team sent to New Orleans, where they treated people in a FEMA resource center. They Spring 2006 I was part of the second team of Public Health Service (PHS) officers deployed into Baton Rouge, La. Our initial assignment was staffing and coordination of a temporary hospital established in two buildings on the Louisiana State University campus—an acute care “emergency room” with intensive care unit (ICU) containing about 150 beds, and a lower acuity hospital containing 200-500 beds (depending on need). While both were operating as hospitals over about a 15-day period, approximately 15,000 individuals were “triaged” and about 3,000 admitted, cared for, and discharged. When the demand for acute care diminished, the smaller facility was closed and the lower acuity facility converted to a special needs shelter. At that point additional PHS officers were available to participate in needs assessment and establishment of surveillance systems with the state health department. Teams were also assigned to manage medical and mental health needs of first responders from New Orleans. Missions Donald Mattison ’66, M.D., was honored on campus last fall as a Distinguished Alumnus. during the “public health” period of the deployment included assessment and surveillance of hospitals, clinics, schools, public wells, food processing facilities, and shelters. The PHS officers I worked with during the deployment were dedicated, highly professional, and went far beyond what would be expected to meet the needs of Louisiana. I was honored to lead these officers and extremely proud of all of them. 15 Hurricane Katrina, a personal perspective by Shira Hussain I was recruiting in Wisconsin when Hurricane Katrina was set to hit the Gulf Coast. My dad was determined not to leave and actually held my family back from evacuating as soon as they wanted to. I even called home and was crying because I just didn’t have a good gut I just didn’t have a good gut feeling about this hurricane. feeling about this hurricane. Frequently people in New Orleans do not evacuate for hurricanes because they are so common, and people fear their houses will be looted if they leave. My parents, sister, and brother evacuated to Lake Charles, La., the day before the storm hit. I watched the news and was happy to see that the storm came and went. Then disaster struck on a whole new level. The minute the levees were declared breached, I knew things were going to get a lot worse. I saw the city under water and couldn’t stop crying. I didn’t hear from my family and friends and cried even more. I was finally able to reach my mom two days after the ordeal and cried for more positive reasons. Eventually, I got in touch with the rest of my family and also my hometown friends. Although I couldn’t explain why all of this happened, I did have the choice to find something positive out of all of it. Although I couldn’t explain why all of this happened, I did have the choice to find something positive out of all of it. The fact that my family and friends were alive is what kept me going.

I lost the house I grew up in and the schools I went to. Most of my hang-out of things as we think we are. (My parents, like so many others, are still waiting for their insurance checks and their trailer from FEMA). This whole experience gives us all so many reasons to be thankful. And it emphasizes that minor problems, petty grudges, and bad Helping my fellow “N’awlins” neighbors in any way I could was in turn helping me deal with everything. spots were gone, and the worst part was being so far away from my family during all of this. So I did what I could. I got advances on my checks and sent money home. I headed up fundraising efforts at Augsburg for hurricane evacuees. I even passed out my number as a resource to Minnesota locals who were hosting, donating to, and/or aiding evacuees. Helping my fellow “N’awlins” neighbors in any way I could was in turn helping me deal with everything. From all of this, I’ve truly accepted that nothing material lasts forever. I’ve also learned that we are not as in control intentions are really things we shouldn’t hold on to, because major things beyond our control will happen—both good and bad, easy and challenging. A family friend of ours did drown in her house while waiting for her nephew, who never came to get her. My mom took it particularly hard because she had wanted Miss Gerdy to evacuate with them. I just trust that she died peacefully in the house as I believe many people did who were stuck behind. Shira Hussain is senior admissions counselor in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Spring 2006 Teachers who lead, leaders who teach EDITED BY BETSEY NORGARD Vicki Olson describes how teachers as leaders must be willing to take risks and to become positive influences in schools. O OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I’ve been reading about a topic dear to my heart—teacher leadership. At Augsburg, this concept undergirds our teacher licensure programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. What teacher leadership means to Augsburg’s Education Department is that the teachers we prepare have both the right and the responsibility to exercise leadership within their classrooms, schools, districts, and communities. Recognizing that teachers lead within the classroom is not difficult; it is accepted enough to seem like common sense. But once you get beyond the classroom walls, the concept of teacher leadership is less well established. Some would say “teacher leadership” is an oxymoron. Principals lead, not teachers. They would go on to say that teachers carry out the will of the school district by teaching the designated curriculum, following the standards determined by the state, and upholding the expectations of the community. Teachers, in other words, follow the Spring 2006 direction of others who make the decisions, creating classrooms, in turn, where students learn what they are required to learn. This philosophy exists, but it isn’t the one we believe in or work from. Certainly our vision incorporates the idea that teachers have a responsibility to the school district, the state, and the community to educate students in the best ways possible. That’s a given. But rather than simply doing what they are told, we believe teachers must— truly must—see themselves as active participants in deciding what should be taught and how to teach it. In our vision, teachers come to the table with administrators, parents, other community members, and sometimes students to define what it means to be an educated person and then to map out how that education will happen within a given setting. Teachers count themselves among the grown-ups and accept the responsibility and risks from making the decisions they make. This conceptualization of “teacher” that includes an element of leadership frightens some. Responsibility and risk bring with them accountability, but along with that they also can bring a fine sense of exhilaration, energy, and eminent satisfaction in a job well done. Roland Barth, in Learning by Heart, says, “I think of a teacher leader as one who has a positive influence on the school as well as in the classroom … all teachers have the capacity to lead the enterprise down a more positive path, to bring their abundant experience and wisdom to schools.” Like Barth, at Augsburg we believe all teachers can be teacher leaders and share in leading the collective “enterprise” of making schools positive places with learning at the heart. Teachers who understand their role in this way—risks and all—are more likely to define teaching as their vocation rather than simply their job. Vicki Olson is associate professor of education. 17 Teachers who lead, leaders who teach M MARGARET KNUTSON ’91 Fifth-grade teacher at Orono (Minn.) Intermediate School Education is the second largest major at Augsburg, with approximately 500 students across undergraduate and graduate programs. How do Augsburg students carry the qualities of teacher leadership into their classrooms? Augsburg Now invited a number of alumni and faculty who have been recognized as leaders to reflect about their careers and how they have seen themselves both as teachers who lead and as leaders who teach. Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award in 2004 My goal is to inspire students to find the learner in themselves, to challenge themselves and to find meaning in their education. To that end I have always yearned to try new things in order to find ways to more effectively connect students to learning on a real and personal level. When I discover or create methods I find successful, I share these with colleagues at my school as well as lead workshops for schools around the state. So, being a teacher leader involves keeping your mind and eyes open for new methods, being a risk taker and pioneer in applying new methods, and then not being shy about sharing your successes with others ... and to humbly educate other teachers. Above: Maggie Knutson tries to keep her students engaged in ways that challenge and inspire them to find learning meaningful. 18 Spring 2006 J JOSEPH ERICKSON Professor in Augsburg’s Education Department, and chair of the Minneapolis Board of Education My personal philosophy of teaching is based on the assumption that my primary role is to motivate learners to gather information and develop themselves—I don’t make them learn. I think that’s a kind of leadership; sparking curiosity and motivating learners. I think that is central to good teaching. In my role on the school board, I’m constantly meeting people who have opinions about what should and should not be done in Minneapolis Public Schools. It’s hard to underestimate how much rumor and gossip is out there. My role is to help educate the public when I meet people who hold information that is wrong or misleading. More importantly, I try to make sure that I take every opportunity I can to inspire optimism and confidence in MPS’s future. Sometimes inspiring confidence is even more important than competent administration. Joe Erickson brings his school board leadership experience into his classrooms at Augsburg to help future teachers understand the issues affecting school districts. J JACKI BRICKMAN ’97 Mentor at Elizabeth Hall International Elementary School, Minneapolis From my second year of teaching, my classroom has been a public place— to current and new teachers, to district officials, politicians, and parents. Teachers are at their best in their classrooms facilitating learning, and when teachers open their doors to one another and make their classrooms a public place, we are able lead and teach at the same Teachers in Jacki Brickman’s school meet regularly in study groups to share their practices and strategies in order to help each other grow.

In my early years as a teacher I was a strong voice for ensuring a positive work environment that included advocating for professional development opportunities, insisting on compliance with state and federal laws, and working together with the administration to insure a safe and respectful learning environment. The more I took responsibility for these issues the more I grew as a professional. Being involved at the local level and gaining a sense of empowerment was what prompted me to get Spring 2006 involved at the state and national level. As a union leader I rely on my teaching experience to help policy-makers understand what needs to be done … I believe that teachers should not be passive bystanders to what is occurring in their classrooms, schools, or communities, nor should they be silent about policies and laws that have a direct impact on their profession and the students they teach. This philosophy has been the impetus for my leadership, even when it is sometimes difficult and may be controversial. 19 Teachers who lead, leaders who teach A ADAM THRONSON ’99 Social studies teacher at Coon Rapids (Minn.) High School 2005 Anoka-Hennepin School District Teacher Outstanding Performance (TOP) award Teachers are leaders by researching and implementing new strategies into their classroom. It means you take a risk. Teachers usually try methods that other teachers have found success with, but leadership comes when you blaze a new trail by trying something new. B BRUCE PALMQUIST ’84 Professor of physics and science education at Central Washington University, Ellensburg, Wash. Washington State Professor of the Year, named by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). I started teaching while I was a student at Augsburg. I tutored first-year physics students. This taught me that it takes more than good grades in a subject to be a good teacher. I learned that I needed to understand what the students knew and didn’t know before I could help them. … In general, a good teacher is one who leads by example. I try to make my science teaching methods courses relevant by developing interesting opportunities for my students to interact with children. My teaching methods students have been among the first at my university to teach science lessons in the local schools, to develop after-school science clubs, and to provide children with practice items for the Washington state science assessment. (To become better acquainted with Bruce Palmquist, see Auggie Thoughts on p. 32) 20 I have been a leader who teaches when I’ve accepted and encouraged the work of other teachers. This could be new programs like Link Crew or just cooperation dealing with the same student. I have been a teacher who leads by staying positive, supporting administration, and trying new things in my classroom. A ALLEN TRIPP ’69 English teacher at Rush City (Minn.) High School 2005 Leadership in Educational Excellence Award, selected by peers After 35 years of teaching English, I can look back and see many times where I have been both a teacher and a leader. The teacher role is six classes a day September through May. However, the leader role has grown on me over the years as I became more experienced in my profession and familiar with the people in the community. … Teaching ability and leadership skills are a necessary combination for any successful teacher. When I look back at my first year of teaching, I see I had the knowledge to teach effectively, but at times lacked the confidence to lead. By talking to experienced teachers and gaining experience in the classroom, the leadership skills evolved. When you demonstrate confidence in yourself as a teacher, you will clearly communicate goals to the students; and they gain confidence in themselves as learners. It’s a win/win situation. Spring 2006 A ALYSSA SNYDER ’98 President, Bethany Lutheran College, Mankato, Minn. It is in the classroom where we have the most direct impact on our students; however, it cannot end there. As educators we must challenge one another’s ideas and philosophies through professional dialogue in order to gain insight into how to better meet the needs of our learners. My top priority is having high standards for all my students. This is why I feel fortunate to be an instructor in the Weekend College program. I want to influence potential educators to advocate for all of their students, not just the smart and well behaved. A true teacher leader is willing to do this by going against the status quo knowing the student must come first. When I can influence future teachers, I can impact more students positively. D DAN BRUSS ’75 Adjunct instructor in Augsburg’s Education Department J I have been connected to the teaching enterprise of higher education nearly 25 years. As a professor I saw myself not just as a champion of my area of expertise, but primarily as a role model, an individual concerned with the wide variety of struggles students have during their college experience. For me life in the classroom was seamlessly interwoven to the life outside of it. As a college president I still see my chief function as a role model, although now my teaching crosses constituency boundaries. As an administrator I look for the professor who can have the biggest impact on students’ lives. They generally have more lasting influence than programs or buildings. JOHN-MARK STENSVAAG ’69 Charlotte and Frederick Hubbell Professor of Environmental and Natural Resources Law at the University of Iowa College of Law University of Iowa 2005 President and Provost Award for Teaching Excellence All of my great teachers led by example. Every day, I try imperfectly to emulate what my greatest teachers showed me; every day, I expect my students to outshine me in their future endeavors. The enterprise is driven by love: love of learning, love of the subject matter, and love of the students. My greatest teachers led by illustrating such love. For me, “leading” is nothing more than striving to reflect their love to a new generation of students. A POSTSCRIPT: After this story was completed, announcement came of the appointment of Augsburg history professor Bill Green as interim superintendent of Minneapolis Public Schools. As he steps from the classroom into a leadership role in a difficult situation, Green has been quoted as saying that he is “first and foremost a teacher.” Spring 2006 21 Paulson family makes major gift to the Science Center Courtesy photo In December, John Paulson, together with Norma Paulson, pledged a $1 million gift on behalf of his family to name the front entrance and atrium of the new Science Center. This is the Paulson family’s second major capital gift to Augsburg. In 2001, the family provided major funding to complete the enclosed skyway link from Lindell Library to the two-story atrium between Memorial and Sverdrup Halls. “One does not have to be on campus long to see what an important need was met by the Paulson Link,” said Stephen Preus, director of development. “This new, special gift by the Paulsons will provide for an equally important and highly attractive space.” While Paulson is not an Augsburg alumnus, three of his children and a sonin-law graduated from the College—Mary Jo (Paulson) Peterson ’80, Laurie (Paulson) Dahl ’76 and David Dahl ’75, and Lisa Paulson ’80. The motivation behind the Science Center gift, however, may date back much farther than his family’s education.

He was a frontline soldier until July 28, 1944, when he was wounded during the St.-Lo breakthrough. Among the awards Paulson received were the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart. In June 2004, Paulson and his wife, Norma, traveled to France to take part in the 60th anniversary commemoration of the event that proved to be the turning point of the war. The festivities brought together thousands of people—war veterans, military officials, local people and tourists, as well as Hollywood celebrities whose acting roles had recreated the battles on movie screens. Standing in his Army uniform, wearing medals depicting D-Day service, Paulson enjoyed the commemoration. Following the ceremony, however, he noticed lines of French citizens forming to At the 60th anniversary commemoration of D-Day, Norma and shake hands and request John Paulson met and talked with actor Tom Hanks. 22 autographs from the U.S. veterans. Puzzled, Paulson finally asked someone why he wanted a soldier’s autograph. “Don’t you understand,” the Frenchman told him, “you saved our country.” Paulson recounted how vivid an impression these words made. When he thought about the statistics—the staggering numbers of soldiers who were killed or wounded during the invasion— he realized that he was, in fact, a survivor. And with that realization also came the insight that he had been blessed with many gifts in his life that should be shared with others. “I believe it is important to leave this world in better condition than it was when we arrived,” Paulson said, “so contributing to Augsburg and other worthwhile organizations is part of this process.” The Science Center atrium girft is provided in memory of Lois V. Paulson, Rose E. Paulson, and Johnny E.

Spring 2006 Naming the ‘Doc’ Johnson A-Club Office Office in Doc’s memory. Their gifts, with additional gifts from Louie Morseth ’51, Roger Stockmo ’54, Leroy Nyhus ’52, and Virg Gehring ’57 have made it possible. In his senior year at Augsburg, Doc Johnson was elected president of AClub. Now, it is the A-Club vice president from that year, Ron Main, helping to perpetuate Johnson’s legacy as an Auggie. Archive photo Donnis “Doc” Johnson ’52, an Auggie who died at the age of 23, well before his time, will not be forgotten by his friends. Five of his classmates and friends have joined together to name the A-Club office in the new Si Melby South Wing in his memory. Raised in the small town of Newman Grove, Nebraska—the only Lutheran Free Church congregation in that state— Johnson followed his sister, LaRhea, and several relatives to Augsburg College, 400 miles away. He enrolled in 1948, majored in physical education, and became center on the football team. After graduation in 1952 and two years in the U.S. Army at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., Johnson returned home to a teaching and football coaching position at the Elgin (Neb.) High School. This was to be his only year of teaching, as he died of bulbar polio in November 1954. Members of his high school football team served as pallbearers. Early last year, Doc’s cousin, Mark Johnson ’54, together with Augsburg development officer Ron Main ’56, proposed a plan to name the new A-Club by Betsey Norgard “Doc” Johnson (top row, no. 28) played on the 1951 football team, along with teammate, and now development officer and donor, Ron Main ’56 (middle row, no. 38). Connections Augsburg meets Thrivent challenge Augsburg received bonus funding of $5,415 from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for successfully meeting the GivingPlus program challenge. About 450 Lutheran schools and social service agencies were awarded portions of an $800,000 grant from Thrivent for significantly improving participation in Thrivent’s GivingPlus program, which matches contributions to Lutheran institutions by its members. In order to qualify, Augsburg needed to increase GivingPlus by 588 member donors before December. It exceeded that with a total of 693, thereby also earning $78,805 in matching funds from Thrivent under the program. The bonus funds will be used for student scholarships, curriculum development, student-oriented activities, and campus improvements. Spring 2006 Barbara Gage, president of the Curtis L. Carlson Family Foundation, was honored with the 2006 Leading Leaders award for lifelong commitment to family, career, and service to community. (L to R) Emily Anne Tuttle, Augsburg Board of Regents; Barbara Carlson Gage; and Tracy Elftmann, Augsburg vice president for institutional advancement.

Lewis, president/CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities; and Shira Hussain, Augsburg senior admissions counselor. 23 Sig Hjelmeland led fundraising efforts for 30 years Sigvald Hjelmeland ’41 was the second of four generations of Augsburg graduates and spent three decades at Augsburg leading fundraising efforts that made possible a number of major capital projects. He died on Dec. 25 at age 90. Hjelmeland returned to Augsburg in 1952 to serve as the College’s first director of development. Major campaigns he headed led to the completion of the George Sverdrup Library, Christensen Center, Urness Hall, and Foss Center. He is best remembered by colleague Jeroy Carlson ’48 as “meticulous.” In the late 1950s, as donor and giving programs were being created, Hjelmeland drew on his expertise and passion for detail to create a manual accounting system and bookkeeping procedures for donor gifts. This included the use of a bank book to help donors track their monthly pledge payments. In 1963, as the College moved through the transition from the Lutheran Free Church (LFC) into the American Lutheran Church, Hjelmeland, with his Norwegian LFC background, served a valuable role in helping many of Augsburg’s longtime LFC families stay part of and feel connected to Augsburg. “He spoke Norwegian and had a great sense of humor,” Carlson says, “not just American humor, but Scandinavian humor as well.” Hjelmeland’s relationships helped to foster a culture of philanthropy that has nurtured many of Augsburg’s current donors. In 1986, Hjelmeland, with his wife, by Betsey Norgard Three generations of Hjelmeland Auggies: Sigvald Hjelmeland ’41, who is survived by his wife, Helen; (back row, L to R) James Clarke and daughter Laurene (Hjelmeland) Clarke ’64; son John ’70 and Lynn (Benson) ’69 Hjelmeland; and granddaughter Jennifer (Hjelmeland) Stewart ’00. Helen, and son and daughter-in law John ’70 and Lynn (Benson) ’69, established a scholarship in the name of his father, John Hjelmeland, who graduated from Augsburg Academy, College, and Seminary. In 2003, Sig Hjelmeland received the Spirit of Augsburg award for his dedication and long service to the College. Hjelmeland is survived by his wife, Helen; two children, Laurene and John; seven grandchildren; and five greatgrandchildren. The family has directed memorial gifts to the Rev. John Hjelmeland Scholarship Fund. Faculty-staff giving boosts campaign From September through December, guided by a faculty-staff campaign committee, employees of Augsburg raised the bar on giving and encouraged awareness of a philanthropic culture. A generous matching fund, matches from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for its members, and contacts from committee members helped to significantly increase both the dollar amount and the rate of giving within the Augsburg community. 24 Through December 31, an additional total of $133,000 was given or pledged by employees of the College, beyond the $635,000 since the campaign’s launch. Even more important, however, was the increased rate of participation in the campaign—to more than doubling the overall rate of 17% in 2004-05. By the end of the year, the giving rate for full-time faculty and staff exceeded 50%.

Harley J. Refsal, Decorah, Iowa, is a professor of Scandinavian folk art and Norwegian at Luther College. He has earned national and international acclaim for his figure woodcarving— including a St. Olav Medal in 1996 from the king of Norway. Besides teaching at Luther, he has written four books and numerous magazine articles. He’s also the star of an instructional video, Scandinavian Style Figure Carving with Harley Refsal, which earned a prestigious 2005 Telly Award. John N. Schwartz is serving as interim president and chief executive officer of St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center in Missoula, Mont.

The awards are an annual tradition of The McKnight Foundation, and each recipient exemplifies the life-changing difference one person can make through service. The following is reprinted from the award program: Ora Hokes is transforming the health of her community Sunday by Sunday. A member of the Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church for 25 years, Hokes saw the alarming health-related risk factors affecting the African American community, and took action. In 2003, after years of service with the Sabathani Community Center and its Way to Grow program, she began volunteering with the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association. Working with her pastor, she created the Health Sundays program to provide monthly health information to her congregation. Partnering with nurses and others from the congregation, and using additional resources from the American Cancer Society and the Stairstep Foundation’s Health Initiative, she implemented monthly blood pressure checks, distributed health information on sexually transmitted diseases, instituted a “Stomp Out Stroke” awareness program, and started the Promised Land Fellowship walking program which focuses on weight loss, nutrition, and exercise. “My mother was my inspiration,” Hokes says. “She had the gift of healing.” Hokes is a lifelong advocate for continuing education. She returned to school after her two children were grown, and has since received an Associate of Arts degree from Minneapolis Community College, a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg’s Weekend College, a Master of Arts degree from the University of St. Thomas, and a parent educator license from the University of Minnesota. It seems no challenge is too big for Ora Hokes. Spring 2006 27 Class Notes Courtesy photo ALUMNI PROFILE Mike and Gail Koski: Traveling the missionary road by Sara Holman ’06 Working in the mailroom, falling in love with a fellow coworker, graduating in four years, and preparing for a bright future were just a few of the things that Mike and Gail (Niederloh) Koski accomplished while attending Augsburg. However, finding their joint calling to become missionaries happened just months after their marriage. Married in October 1972, the following July carried the Koskis across the ocean to Africa. Mike, a 1971 graduate, came to Augsburg and studied history and secondary education. Gail graduated one year later with a B.A. in French secondary education. Both came from congregations that were involved in missionary work, yet each confesses that overseas missionary work had not been a part of their plan. When the inspiration came, Mike recalls, “It was an answer to prayer.” “We just understood that this was the way God would want us to use our gifts and abilities,” Gail said. Mike ’71 and Gail ’72 (Niederloh) Koski have traveled the world as missionaries since meeting and graduating from Augsburg more than 30 years ago. After 32 years of missionary work in Kenya and Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), the Koskis are currently awaiting their next assignment. The couple works with the Minneapolis-based mission organization World Mission Prayer League (WMPL). When choosing a mission group, “WMPL resonated well. Its principles, policies, and practices fit the best,” Mike said. Every four years, the couple comes back to the United States on furlough. During this one-year break, the missionaries continue their work and await news about their future destination. The Koskis were called back in September 2005. The couple’s mission experience started in Zaire where they worked in a rural setting, often connecting with nomadic tribes. It was the couple’s responsibility to learn the language and culture and then present the gospel in a way that would be understood. Their time in Zaire was limited to only four months, and then their assignment changed. Kenya has been a very permanent place for the Koskis’ mission work. They spent many years in the agricultural parts of northern and western Kenya but have been stationed in the city of Nairobi for the past 10 years. Mike became assistant director of the Urban Ministries Support Group (UMSG) in 1995 and then moved up to the director position in 1999. Gail’s work has consisted of many facets: UMSG resource center librarian, ESL teacher, Sunday school supervisor, and mission hostess. She was also in charge of home-schooling their three children. Now fully grown, their children have all graduated college and live and work at various places within North America. The Koskis’ main goal in Nairobi was to help develop leadership within the Lutheran church. With strong leadership skills instilled, the church was able to discuss and respond to societal ailments such as poverty and HIV. To reach more people within the city, one church decided to split the congregation into five groups and build five new churches. Everything was planned and prepared ahead of time: pastors were found, worship teams were formed, and everything transitioned very smoothly. The five new congregations each held a special characteristic that made it fit perfectly into its new part of the city. For example, in the area where many university students lived, the church emphasized youth activities and provided a contemporary worship service. The couple’s greatest excitement is to see their fellow church members’ faith development. “We’ve been doing this for so long that we get to see young people grow into adults. We are able to see how their faith keeps growing and then how it impacts their families, vocations, and communities.” Kenya holds a special place in both the Koskis’ hearts. They enjoyed the vibrant colors and temperate climate, but it was the people-oriented culture and relaxed pace of living that really appealed to the couple. Being concerned about people and taking time to establish relationships is a big part of missionary work, and the Koski family praises God for the rich experiences that were shared in Kenya.

Winter 2005-06 Welcome to the Class of 2009 American Indian honors given While attending new student orientation with his daughter, Christina, Rory Waller decided it was time for him to pursue his own dream to teach. W hen President Frame welcomed incoming first-year students and their parents at orientation last summer, he didn’t realize he was recruiting one more student. Rory Waller, father of first-year student Christina, wrote, “During Christina’s new student orientation in August, President Frame addressed the new students and spoke about vocation. His words rekindled an old desire from my youth, in that I have always wanted to teach. Later that day during the Expo, I happened across the information table for the WEC program, and discovered that Augsburg offered a degree in education through the weekend program. Sometimes the signposts in life are subtle, and other times they just hit you right between the eyes. … [My family] backs me wholeheartedly in obtaining the goal I have set, and for this I am grateful. “Because of the weekend program at Augsburg I feel I have the opportunity to find my true vocation in life.” Christina is one of 320 new first-year day students. Of them, 41% are Lutheran. They represent 15 states, with 83% from Minnesota. Eleven percent of them are students of color. During their first week, on City Service Project day, first-year students volunteered 1,000 hours of service at 18 community sites.

He was 89 years old. While president, Anderson was credited with defining Augsburg’s role as an urban college, while not losing its roots as both a liberal arts institution and a College of the church. “My goal for Augsburg College was to make it an urban college, not only one recognized within the urban setting, but one utilizing the resources of a metropolitan setting,” he said in 1993 when the College dedicated Oscar Anderson residence hall in his name. “I think we got into the bloodstream of the city.” President emeritus Charles Anderson, who succeeded Oscar, said Oscar was instrumental, in terms of attitude, in bringing the College together with the city. “We always were here geographically,” Charles Anderson said, “but our institution moved considerably closer with the city in Oscar’s tenure. It was true then, and it remains so today.” Born in 1916 in Minneapolis, Oscar Anderson was educated at Minnehaha Academy and Augsburg before eventually receiving his bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College in 1938. He graduated from Luther Theological Seminary in 1942; his first pastorate was at Lake Harriet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, from 1942 to 1948. For the next six years he was the executive director of the International Young People’s Luther League of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. He went on to complete graduate study at Union Theological Seminary in New York, an experience that heightened his awareness of contemporary trends in theological scholarship. From the mid-1950s until his appointment as president at Augsburg, he served as senior pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead, Minn., where he established close ties with the 4 Rob Levine O President emeritus Oscar Anderson returned to campus at Homecoming 1990 to speak about Augsburg heritage.

After coming to Augsburg, Anderson presided over a tremendous period of growth and evolution at the College. Six new buildings—Urness and Mortensen residence halls, Christensen Center, Music Hall, Murphy Place, and the Ice Arena—were built during his presidency. At his retirement, Board of Regents chair Clayton LeFevere noted that Anderson had signed more diplomas than all of his predecessors—approximately 4,600. Winter 2005-06 Archive photo A nationally known preacher, Anderson received many honors, including the Knight’s Cross First Class of the Order of St. Olav from the Government of Norway; the Paul Harris Fellow from Rotary International; the Distinguished Alumni Citation from both Augsburg and St. Olaf College; and the Distinguished Service Award from the City of Minneapolis. “Oscar Anderson was president of the College during two crucial decades and supervised our transition from a college in the city that wished it were in the country to a college fully engaged with the city that had grown up around it,” noted President William Frame. “As perhaps the best pulpit preacher of his time, Oscar employed a razor sharp and telling wit to guide the College and its alumni through this crucial transition. He had returned to the College frequently since his retirement and invariably brought that wit and powerful rhetoric with him.” Anderson’s wife, Leola, died in December 2004. In 1993, at the dedication of Anderson Hall, Anderson had paid special tribute to Leola and the Winter 2005-06 At the memorial service in Hoversten Chapel on Sept. 1, a photo display captured the life and service of Oscar Anderson.

A memorial service was held in Hoversten Chapel on Sept. 1. The family has requested memorial gifts to the Access to Excellence campaign or the Leola G.

The University of Minnesota’s 2001 Division I national title team was the first to achieve this honor. The White House meeting was arranged between Augsburg coaches and U.S. Rep.

Most comparable Lutheran colleges, such as Luther or Concordia, have an alumni and parent relations office; however, Augsburg has gone beyond the common model. Augsburg’s Office of Parent and Family Relations is completely devoted to the family. Sally Daniels ’79, the new director of parent and family relations, said, “This position is not a fundraising component, so I can focus on service to the parents. That’s completely in keeping with Augsburg’s mission.” Daniels was asked to inaugurate this position not only because she has 26 years of experience in Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions office, but because she is also an Augsburg alumna and parent. Daniels’ Augsburg experience began in 1975 when she was a first-year student living on the fourth floor in Urness. She graduated in 1979 and eventually married her college sweetheart, Paul Daniels, also a 1979 Augsburg graduate. “Because I am an alum, it comes naturally to say what a cool place this is. I’ve told my Augsburg story many, many times,” Sally Daniels said. Both parents were very excited when their daughter, Kristin, also chose to come to Augsburg. Daniels will draw on this experience, as well as how she is handling being a Sally Daniels ’79 (right) takes her experience as an Augsburg student, former director of admissions, and, now as parent of first-year student Kristin (left) to a new role as director of parent and family relations. first-year college student’s mom, in her new position. This will help her build relationships with three different types of parents—the prospective parent, the current parent, and the parents of alumni. All of these parents have different questions, concerns, and needs as their children work through Augsburg. Daniels said, “I make sure parents and family members have someone to connect with about life at Augsburg, and specifically the life of their kids.” Parents who send their kids off to college for the first time have many questions, like how to deal with “letting go,” or how to handle the new adult who comes home in the summer. Daniels will have personal experience to share. By better caring for Augsburg parents, the College can improve the student’s experience. “Kids born after 1985, the millennium generation, have a close relationship with their parents,” Daniels says. She and her daughter, Kristin, have this type of relationship. “We’ve always been very close. We try to connect somehow each day,” Daniels said. Since Kristin studies at the place where her mother works, it’s easy for them to stay in contact. But, Sally says, “This is her college experience; the fact that she likes me is an extra bonus.” Right now, Daniels is hand-writing letters to all of the first-year parents. Since she worked in the admissions office last year, Daniels says, “I know the students; I’ve read their essays. I admitted them all. I’m hand-writing these notes because I think it’s important.” Daniels works with a parent council; and so far 119 parents have contacted her. Parents who do not live near the Twin Cities are sent minutes from the council meetings. It doesn’t matter where parents live; they can stay connected to Augsburg. Even though Parent and Family Relations has split from the Alumni Relations office, the two directors work closely together. Heidi Breen, the alumni relations director formerly headed both Alumni and Parent Relations, but now is solely in charge of alumni and has an assistant director, Donna Torgeson. “Donna, Heidi, and I have a very open door,” Daniels said. “We all want this new position to be successful.” Sara Holman is a senior English/ communication studies major and an intern in the Public Relations and Communication office. Alumni Relations Heidi Breen, new director of alumni relations, poses at Homecoming with Auggie Eagle. Winter 2005-06 Heidi Breen, who has worked at Augsburg for 19 years in the admissions and alumni relations offices, became director of alumni relations in August. Donna Torgeson, who was administrative assistant in the office, is now assistant director. Amy Sutton, formerly alumni director, is now director of corporate and foundation relations in the Development Office. 7 HOMECOMING 2005 Donald A. Anderson ’60 Janice L.

Under the current direction of Al Reesnes ’58 (who took over after the original director, Dr. Merton Strommen ’42, retired) and assistant director Paul Christensen ’59, the group—which consists mainly of Augsburg alumni—are true ambassadors of Augsburg, performing across the United States and around the world. 9 PUTTING a FRESH ‘FACE’ on A U G S B U R G B Y 10 L Y N N M E N A P H O T O S B Y S T E P H E N G E F F R E Winter 2005-06 W hat began as a class project three years ago came full circle at this year’s Homecoming, where visitors were introduced to Augsburg’s newest “member.” The newly unveiled Auggie Eagle logo could be spotted all over campus—on team helmets and cheerleader uniforms; on sweatshirts, T-shirts, and baseball caps; on the balloons and decorations that dressed up various events; on students’ faces as temporary tattoos; and even on the gymnasium floor as an illuminated hologram. “The College is pleased to present its new athletics logo, and even more pleased to announce that its creator is one of our own—Class of 2003 alumnus Samuel J. Gross,” says Ann Garvey, dean of students. “The logo further establishes Augsburg’s identity and serves as a graphic component to the Auggie Eagle mascot that was introduced at Homecoming in 2002.” The logo first took shape a few years ago when the Office of Public Relations and Communication partnered with John McCaffrey, assistant professor of art. McCaffrey’s graphic design students were challenged to design an athletics logo for their final project. While the entire class created a wide range of exceptional designs, Gross’ logo was a strong favorite, and this year the College officially signed contracts to acquire it from Gross as its new athletics and merchandising logo. “Sam demonstrated that he was creative, dedicated, and driven by a purpose from his very first assignments in my Graphic Design class,” says McCaffrey, reflecting upon Gross. “Sam delivered excellent work that was always in excess of any project requirements. It immediately became apparent that he would succeed in the design field. He Winter 2005-06 dedicated himself to learning all that he could ensuring his future career direction.” Staff members in the public relations department were also impressed with Gross’ work, and quickly recruited him to work as a student graphic designer during his senior year. There he created designs for letterhead, flyers, greeting cards, brochures, and magazines. After he received his B.A. in studio art, he stayed on in the public relations department for the summer, and shortly thereafter landed his first full-time job as the graphic design and production coordinator at Sons of Norway in Minneapolis. Today, Gross serves as a graphic designer and production coordinator for TQ3Navigant Performance Group in Minneapolis, a division of Denver-based Navigant International, where he produces original marketing graphics, designing creative pre-trip travel packages for large corporate industries such as Best Buy, ING, T-Mobile, and Qwest. In addition, Gross is building a successful freelance business, 144design, creating works in traditional studio pieces as well as digital media, including digital retouching of photographs, custom logo design, illustration, and various print related materials. “The birth of 144design was inspired by a mentor and lifelong friend, my father,” writes Gross on his Web site, <www.invisik.com/144design/artist2.html>. “Born in rural Minnesota in 1980, the influence of art began in the earliest stages of my life,” continues Gross. “Impacted by those around me, I began my own pursuit of knowledge in the continually changing art and design world. “Two and a half decades into my life I am still chasing this aspiration of achieving artistic prominence in this transforming world.” This year, Gross designed logo and stationery pieces for expansion NAHL hockey team the North Iowa Outlaws, and is currently working on other expansion team logos. In July he designed the book cover for Daniel Boone and the Defeat at Blue Licks, written by Neal O. Hammon. Gross is also an accomplished painter, whose work was recently purchased by the Springfield Public Library in Minnesota for their permanent collection. His oils and photography have twice placed third in the annual Five County Juried Art Show in Minnesota. Gross, a former Auggie football and baseball player, has particularly enjoyed athletic logo design, and is pleased that his alma mater has chosen to use his work. “It’s really exciting and interesting to see my design carried out in so many different ways—on the uniforms, on the line of sweatshirts,” says Gross. “Plus, it’s great to give back as an alum.” ■ 11 Jeroy Carlson ’48 ‘MR. AUGSBURG’ by Sara Holman ’06 Jeroy Carlson ’48 has spent over 60 years on the Augsburg campus as a student, volunteer, alumni director, and development officer. Here, he sits in Old Main 17, which was Augsburg’s chapel and is now the art studio. AUGSBURG COLLEGE pastor Dave Wold paused, “Mr. Augsburg … well, I don’t know where the name got started. Everyone just refers to him as that. Anyone who mentions Jeroy always says ‘Jeroy from Augsburg.’” Why is Jeroy Carlson Mr. Augsburg? Really, the question doesn’t need to be asked. He just is. Carlson embodies everything that is Augsburg—from knowing its history to sharing its faith. “Jeroy’s commitment and love for Augsburg is pretty clear,” Wold said. “No one can be identified with Augsburg as much as Jeroy can. He has a network of friends I’ve never seen before.” Carlson has spent the last 42 years serving Augsburg, first as Augsburg’s alumni director and then as senior development officer. He has connected with hundreds of people through Augsburg and has been able to raise millions of dollars to help build the chapel, library, fitness center, football field, and theater (to name just a few). Carlson’s efforts can be seen all over campus, though he is quick to 12 protest, “I just ask for support. It’s really about what the donors have done for this college.” Being 82 years old, Carlson has spent the better part of his life on campus, not to mention the years he spent as a student. What would inspire someone to become so dedicated to a place? “I’m not here because of myself. I’m here because of the people who have given their lives to this place. I don’t want them to be forgotten. I’ve developed a purpose for living from their caring about me. Charles Anderson, Gerda Mortensen, Bernhard Christensen, Phil Quanbeck Sr., Joel Torstenson, Paul Sonnack, Dave Wold—these people have been my friends,” Carlson said. Carlson took his first step onto Augsburg soil in 1940. His high school basketball team had come to challenge Augsburg’s junior varsity team. Fortunately, Augsburg’s embarrassing loss didn’t keep him from applying to the College two years later. After spending one year on campus, Carlson enlisted in the Navy. On Monday, Dec. 10, 1945, Carlson was released, and the following Thursday he registered for classes. That Saturday he played for Augsburg’s basketball team. Carlson laughs as he recalls this memory. “I hadn’t even taken a class, but the coach needed me.” Sports have always been a passion for Carlson. He played baseball, basketball, and football while he attended Augsburg and was part of four MIAC championship teams. After graduating, Carlson spent 15 years teaching and coaching. During this time, he became part of the Augsburg Alumni Board and wrote an article titled “Why is Being a Christian Important?” for a Christian magazine that most alumni received. When the alumni director position became open, Carlson didn’t even have to apply. “Two people just asked me if I wanted to do it. It was the best move I’ve ever made.” In honor of his service, the alumni office was dedicated in 1991 as the Jeroy C. Carlson Alumni Center. While working at Augsburg, Carlson was able to stay active in the Athletic Alumni Association (the A-Club) and Winter 2005-06 also helped establish the Athletic Hall of Fame. He can still remember when the A-Club started. It was 1937, and the athletes wanted an honor banquet. Four people took it upon themselves to raise the money—a difficult task during the Depression years. They put on skits like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and charged 10 cents a person. Times were very different during Carlson’s student years. His tuition was $50 a semester, so he worked in the dining room, which was on the lower level of Memorial Hall. He worked with 18 other people, 16 of whom were in the choir. A lot of singing was done in the kitchen, and this was a treat for Carlson, since he wasn’t able to participate in both music and sports. By working five hours, Carlson was able to pay for his Winter 2005-06 Archive photo Archive photo In the 1948 Augsburgian, Jeroy Carlson ’48 was called a “standout player” on the 1947 basketball team, and he was selected for an all-state second team.

One not so pleasant memory Carlson recalls from the dining hall was dropping a tray on [dean of women] Gerda Mortensen. “I was lucky I didn’t get expelled,” he said. “Gerda knew it was an accident. Mortensen was a woman you never forget.” Carlson also went to school with Jim Lindell, for whose family Lindell Library was named in 1997. Lindell and Carlson both completed their first year at Augsburg together, and then each joined the Navy. However, upon returning to the Twin Cities, Lindell found he needed to transfer colleges because Augsburg didn’t offer a business degree. He enrolled across the river at the university but never forgot the best friends he made at Augsburg. Carlson has been fortunate in his long tenure at Augsburg to get to know the people behind the great names on campus. While it’s easy for students to grumble about tuition costs and for alumni to feel continually asked for donations, it’s the dedication of the people for whom Augsburg means so much—the people who work here and the people who learn here—that makes the difference. Carlson understands all of this. It’s why he has stayed so long. “After all these years, the attitude here is still the same. What I believe is here, and what’s happening at Augsburg is important.” ■ Sara Holman is a senior English/ communication studies major and an intern in the Public Relations and Communication office. 13 PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS i n c r e a s i n g h e a l t h c a r e a c c e s s by Cynthia Hill photos by Stephen Geffre When Rob Carlson turned 40, he turned a career corner as well. He left the propane gas business to enroll in Augsburg’s very first class in the Physician Assistant (PA) program. Today, Carlson maintains a busy schedule treating recent immigrants and refugees at the Regions Center for International Health in St. Paul. He also sees patients at the Regions HIV Clinic and St. Paul Ramsey Public Health tuberculosis clinic. Jackie Osterhaus was also in Augsburg’s first class of PA students. She had worked as a laboratory technician and a clinical assistant, but wanted more out of a healthcare career. Yet with two small children, becoming a PA made Winter 2005-06 more sense than medical school. Osterhaus now handles a full caseload of patients in Belgrade, a tiny Minnesota town some 100 miles west of the Twin Cities. The Belgrade clinic is a satellite of the Paynesville Area Health Care System, which employs five PAs, a nurse practitioner, and seven physicians. Carlson and Osterhaus are among more than 170 graduates of Augsburg’s PA program since it was launched as Minnesota’s only PA preparation program in 1995. From rural towns to urban centers, these well-trained healthcare practitioners are living out the program’s mission of increasing healthcare access to underserved communities in Minnesota. What is a physician assistant? Physician assistants are not doctors, but they can do many things a doctor does, including seeing their own patients, making diagnoses, doing minor surgery, writing prescriptions, and ordering tests. “But here’s the caveat: we can’t do it on our own,” said Dawn Ludwig, director of Augsburg’s program who is a PA herself. “PAs are team providers who work under the supervision of a licensed physician. We can’t open our own practice.” That doesn’t mean the supervising physician is always in the next room. For example, Jackie Osterhaus staffs the Belgrade clinic four days a week, along with a nurse and laboratory technician, but without a physician on site. A physician from the Paynesville clinic 10 miles away provides regular telephone supervision and chart review to Osterhaus’s cases. “It’s definitely a team effort with ongoing communication and interaction with the supervising physician, but as a PA, I am ultimately responsible for my patients,” said Ludwig, who was named Minnesota Physician Assistant of the Year in 2002 by the Minnesota Academy of Physician Assistants. Because of the similar roles, it’s not uncommon for patients to be confused, said May Mua, an Augsburg graduate who also practices at the Regions Center for International Health. “My patients—primarily Hmong, Somalis, and recent immigrants from other countries who may never have had access to health care before—often call me ‘Dr. Mua,’” she said. “I’m always correcting them but it’s hard to get across the idea of the difference because they see me regularly for their care.” 15 A response to the healthcare shortage The physician assistant career is a relatively recent addition to the healthcare team, growing out of the Vietnam era when highly skilled medics returned from military service, Ludwig said. “At the time, we were seeing a shortage of physicians around the country and needed a new source of caregivers,” she said. To help fill the need, Duke University created the first formal physician assistant program in 1965. In the early ’90s, Augsburg was approached by the Minnesota Academy of Physician Assistants and asked to consider starting a physician assistant training program for the state. “People were going to other states for training and not returning to practice in Minnesota,” she said. “Augsburg’s mission of community and world service was right in line with the concept of physician assistants providing health care to underserved areas.” Initially offered as a two-year, postbachelor’s certificate, Augsburg’s program drew immediate interest, especially among people seeking a career change. “That first informational meeting at Augsburg was standing room only. There must have been 600 people there,” recalls Rob Carlson. Over 10 years, admission to the program, now offered as a three-year master’s degree, has remained highly competitive, reflecting Augsburg’s reputation and strong track record. This year’s class of 28 was culled from more than 140 applications. One thing that has changed is average age of applicants—from 34 at the outset to 27 currently, Ludwig said. “At first, the appeal was mainly to 16 folks already in some aspect of health care—nurses, laboratory assistants, emergency medical technicians, etc. But it is definitely becoming a first-career option for those looking for a career in medicine.” Cases in point: second-year PA students Kari Badali and Jodi Winters, both 2004 Augsburg bachelor’s degree graduates. “Before coming to Augsburg as an undergraduate, I read a magazine that listed a physician assistant as one of the top ten careers for women. I was interested in the medical field but not sure which direction to go. I researched schools offering a PA program and Augsburg was the only one in Minnesota,” said Badali ’04, a biology major. Winters, a biology and chemistry double major, added, “The reputation of the Augsburg program is what finally helped me make my decision.” High expectations, high performance Augsburg’s program is known for its academic rigor, in-depth clinical training, and track record of well-prepared graduates. Consider these indicators: • 100% pass rate on national certification examinations since the program’s inception. • Scores on the national certification examinations have never been below the 90th percentile (the Classes of 2001 and 2004 both ranked in the 99th percentile). • In recent years, every PA graduate has been employed within six months of graduation, 85% of them in Minnesota. Winter 2005-06 These successes grow out of high expectations and a demanding educational program that moves from a foundation of classroom study into direct clinical experience. In the first phase, students are on campus in courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and ethics and legal medicine. An orientation to the program’s mission of reaching the underserved is woven throughout this phase in courses on special populations and in annual service-learning projects. The clinical phase is next, structured much like a physician’s internship. Taught by physicians and supplemented by physician assistants and other healthcare providers, students progress through seven required rotations and one elective, each six weeks long, in healthcare facilities across the state. At least one rotation is required to be outside of the metropolitan area, in keeping with the program’s mission of addressing healthcare gaps across the state. Twin Cities native Debbie Maas did rotations in Deer River, Minn., a small community west of Grand Rapids. After graduation last year, she accepted a job at the Deer River clinic. About 25% of Augsburg graduates practice in rural communities and greater Minnesota. “I found I really liked the variety in a smaller clinic. There was great camaraderie with the physicians, and I learned so much,” she said. “This is truly family practice medicine. We see everything from OB-GYN to geriatrics.” The final component is a 12-week preceptorship—an intensive clinical experience required by only a few other PA programs. “This is the last piece of their education that ties everything together and solidifies all they’ve learned,” said Ludwig. “It gets them ready to go out and practice.” The personal touch Core to the Augsburg PA training is an emphasis on treating patients as individuals, not diseases. “We look for students who are able to handle a tough and rigorous program but who are also able to connect with patients on a personal level,” Ludwig said. “Physician assistants should be good at JACKIE OSTERHAUS (p. 14) graduated in Augsburg’s first class of physician assistants and enjoys the variety of patient care she gives in her work at the Paynesville Area Health Care System clinic in Belgrade, Minn.

Winter 2005-06 listening and building trust with their patients.” Patricia Walker, M.D., director of the Regions Hospital Center for International Health, considers the clinic’s three physician assistants, all Augsburg graduates, “an absolutely vital part of our provider team.” “They are so talented that they are working at the level of other providers in our group on a daily basis, and rarely ask questions of the physicians. That being said, they also know when to consult us on difficult cases,” Walker said. “They provide outstanding clinical care and are very kind and compassionate.” In the future, demand for physician assistants is likely to continue to grow, according to Rodney McFadden, M.D., a physician with Internal Medicine and Geriatric Associates in Minneapolis and a preceptor of Augsburg PA students on rotation at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview. “Medical schools are producing about the same number of doctors each year, so as the population gets older, we will need more healthcare providers,” said McFadden. “Physician assistants play an important role and I see them becoming even more common to meet growing healthcare needs in our society.” ■ Cynthia Hill is a freelance writer in St. Paul who frequently writes about Augsburg College. 17 A C H A N C E T O S K AT E BY DON STONER The scene is like any other in hockeycrazed Minnesota on a weekday evening. A cacophony of noise inside a cold indoor ice arena. Young kids, some maybe just a few months from putting skates on for the first time in their lives, are learning the fundamentals of hockey. Coaches strain to be heard above the din. On one half of the rink, an older group has the ice. On the other, Janet Marvin and a couple of assistant coaches are working with girls ages 10 and under. Marvin yells encouragement to her young charges. “I want two hands on your stick all the time.” “When you find it, look up for your teammate and pass it to her stick.” “Good job, excellent! Nice job!” You look at the faces inside the masks, and that’s where you notice the difference. Most of the girls aren’t typical Minnesota hockey players. Most are Hmong, some are African-American, some are white. But if it weren’t for Marvin, it’s likely that none of them would be on the ice this night—or any night, for that matter. For the past seven years, Marvin, a 1986 Augsburg graduate, has been volunteering with young girls on the north and northeast neighborhoods of Minneapolis with the Edison youth hockey program. Along with her sister and a devoted group of volunteer women coaches, they have provided opportunities for young girls who wouldn’t otherwise have discovered the sport. For Marvin, it’s an extension of a family tradition to provide hockey opportunities to others. Her father, Cal, was a legend in hockey in the Upper Midwest. A U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer, he helped to start the men’s hockey program at the University of North Dakota, coached the U.S. national team in 1958, and founded and coached one of the most successful amateur hockey teams in American history, the Warroad Lakers. He helped to establish Warroad, a small town near the Canadian border in northwestern Minnesota, as a place synonymous with hockey. 18 “My dad did it for young men. He let young men play for over 50 years, and he had over 900 young guys that got to skate for him,” Marvin said. “What he did for the guys is what my sister and I are trying to do for young girls who want to play hockey. It doesn’t matter where they’re from, or what color they are, or what background they come from. If they want to play, we’ll get them equipment, we’ll find them a place to play, we’ll make sure they have transportation and make sure their fees are paid.” One of 12 children in the Marvin family, Janet Marvin grew up around hockey. “We grew up at the rink,” she said. “We folded programs, we cleaned the rink, we worked in the concession stands, we sold tickets. We did whatever we could do, because we wanted to be up there at the rink with Dad and the rest of the community. That’s what you did in Warroad. You were at the hockey rink.” She and her sister played hockey in their early years, but as they grew older, there were fewer opportunities for young women to play hockey in northern Minnesota. So she played basketball instead, eventually playing two seasons of junior college basketball and a season at the University of St. Thomas, before transferring to Augsburg for her senior season, 1985-86. She earned a degree in education from Augsburg and eventually worked for the Minneapolis public schools for 15 years. But hockey remained a major part of her life. She played competitively on adult teams for more than a decade, and also worked as a volunteer assistant coach on teams with her friend, Sue Ring-Jarvi. Marvin also served as an adult mentor for young kids in northeast Minneapolis, including youngsters who wanted to play hockey for Edison’s youth program. She eventually got involved with coaching at Edison, and helped to start the Edison girls’ youth program. Along the way, Marvin and her sister began bring out the best of their potential. … But her work with the hockey incorporating more young Hmong girls You can see how these coaches put their program doesn’t end there.

All of them are committed to improving the quality of life in their community and they all center their work around Lutheran ideas of vocation. They share a belief that more can be accomplished when people and organizations work together and when they share their particular expertise toward common goals. It’s a diverse group—Augsburg College, Augsburg Fortress Publishers, Central Lutheran Church, Fairview Health Services, Luther Seminary, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans— 20 whose members contribute their expertise across the areas of health, education, social services, finance, publishing, and service in faith. The two synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in Minneapolis and St. Paul are partners in the collaboration. After several years of informal discussions among the CEOs, a formal collective was launched in 2002 that draws its calling from a passage in the book of Jeremiah, “Seek the welfare of the city … for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” The collaborative seeks to renew that same concern to care for each other in the community that motivated the founding of their institutions a century or more ago. And, today, they are again finding some of the greatest community needs among recent immigrants. “[Faith in the City] has set before Lutheran institutions across the land a model which illustrates service leadership,” says President William Frame. “The CEOs became interested in Luther’s idea of vocation as a vehicle to draw their constituents out into the world in service and in collaboration.” They were encouraged by the extent of common purpose and overlap in their missions. Tom Morgan, Augsburg’s vice president for planning and market development, speaks of Augsburg’s perspective: “It’s a way for us to more deeply express and live out our commitment to the city, to service, and to strengthen and demonstrate our connection to the church.” Ci Winter 2005-06 Community initiatives Faith in the City serves as a catalyst for collaboration among people, neighborhoods, congregations, and others, primarily in the areas of health, education, and neighborhood. Each initiative has two or three member organization sponsors and appropriate strategic partners. Initiatives specific to Augsburg are: Augsburg Academy for Health Careers—Augsburg, together with Fairview Health Services, developed the first proposal to Faith in the City. Responding to the shortage of healthcare professionals, especially within increasingly diverse communities, a charter school was proposed, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to prepare students for careers and vocations in health care. The Augsburg Academy for Health Careers opened this fall with 61 students, a majority from diverse backgrounds, in grades 9, 10 and 11, with grade 12 to begin next year. Lutheran College House—A second initiative spearheaded by Augsburg, together with Luther Seminary, is the Lutheran College House, proposed for summer 2006. Students from six partner Lutheran colleges will live for a semester in the Phillips neighborhood to explore vocation, service opportunities, and leadership development. Augsburg/Central Nursing Center—Augsburg’s 10-year-old free nursing center at Central Lutheran Church that serves neighborhood residents at no cost was incorporated into the Faith in the City initiatives. Hands-on learning for health careers by Judy Petree Jasmine Smith, a junior, and one of 61 students at the new Augsburg Academy for Health Careers, travels from Maple Grove across the city everyday. She enrolled at the academy to pursue a career in the health field, particularly forensic science or neurology. In addition to her interest in the CSI television shows, she said she chose the academy for its small class sizes and the ability to work one-on-one with instructors. She recently interviewed for an internship at Fairview in the nursing department. Students at the academy are paired with Fairview health professionals as mentors. Together they explore the student’s talents and interests as related to vocations in the health field. Students use Fairview as a hands-on learning laboratory; they also take field trips to Mayo Clinic, and visit emergency care centers, hospitals, clinics, and science-related businesses and industries. All students receive training to become certified as emergency medical technicians, first responders, and/or certified nursing assistants. This will help them find employment during summers and after graduation. Mark Youngstrom, director of Augsburg Academy, is a former state education department specialist in English education and co-founder of the Perpich Center for the Arts in Golden Valley. “The primary purpose [of the academy] is to provide immigrant students and students of color with a solid academic education that enables them to advance in the educational system,” he said. “In addition, hospitals and healthcare facilities of all kinds are treating increasing numbers of patients from immigrant communities and communities of color, and they need employees who speak their languages and understand their cultures.” Youngstrom concludes, “Our ultimate hope is to raise the sights of our students so they can plan a future for themselves that includes higher education and a professional career.” Other initiatives include: The Wellness Connection—With the help of several neighborhood organizations and congregations, this center responds to Somali immigrants’ health needs, promotes healthy lifestyles, and connects them with appropriate medical providers. ty Personal Finance Center—Begun as a tax service for lowincome residents, this center has grown to offer a wide range of financial literacy tools for banking, home ownership, borrowing money, etc. Phillips Neighborhood Park, Library, and School—Faith in the City provides financial resources and volunteer service to help sustain these sites as vibrant neighborhood centers. Above left: Tom Morgan (left), Augsburg’s representative on the steering committee, and Jeri Nelsen (right), executive director, are finding that the Faith in the City Lutheran collaborative is an effective model for responding to community needs. Winter 2005-06 Jasmine Smith (right) and Ophelia Mensah (left) enjoy the small classes and one-on-one mentoring at the Augsburg Academy for Health Careers. 21 Leadership conference—Two annual conferences have brought together downtown faith and business leaders for discussion and mutual collaboration around faith and work. Leadership initiative—-For the second year, a program nurtures emerging leaders at member organizations through ongoing discussions of vocation and faith. The next steps Faith in the City is proving that greater good can come about through working together in collaboration than by individual organizations working in isolation. In a commentary written for the Star Tribune last year, Thrivent president and CEO Bruce Nicholson described Faith in the City’s process as “mission-based collaboration, an ideal model for holistically addressing pressing community needs.” Moving forward, the collaborative continues to seek strategic partners for specific initiatives as well as to engage Lutheran congregations in outreach to urban needs. Perhaps nowhere else in the nation could such an integrated community collaboration take place, and Faith in the City is beginning to garner attention. Tapped for leadership by Betsey Norgard 22 Executive director Jeri Nelsen, Morgan, and Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota CEO Mark Peterson presented Faith in the City at the national meeting of Lutheran Services in America (LSA) in April. The collaborative has also garnered significant attention from Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak. Nelsen says that Rybak sees Faith in the City as a model for collaboration with great potential for improving community well-being. Frame believes that Faith in the City has proven that, even within a highly competitive arena, nonprofits can combine resources to carry out their work more effectively. ■ Last fall Julie Olson ’90, ’04 MAL, dean of enrollment management, was part of the first “class” of Faith in the City’s Leadership Development Institute. Over several day-long sessions, the group participated in presentations and discussions on leadership, read books, and listened to the CEOs of Faith in the City member organizations talk about their own vocational paths—all woven around the concept of servant leadership. This first group bonded with each other to the extent that they couldn’t let go when the formal series ended. They continue to gather periodically for conversation, even as the second “class” of the institute has begun. The leadership initiative came about as member organizations felt a need to be better prepared for their next phase of growth. Olson says the program is about identifying emerging leaders within the organizations, and helping them discern their vocation—i.e., helping them feel “tapped,” or hear the call of an inner voice. In addition to getting to know their Faith in the City colleagues, participants gain valuable insight into their organizations—how they’re structured, issues they face, what’s ahead for them, and how they respond to their constituencies. The member organizations share a common Lutheran background, but some—Fairview, for example-—are less overt in their Lutheran heritage than others. Olson says that if you look at how they treat their employees, their staff and leadership development programs, and their missions, it’s all there. It may not be called Lutheran, or even Christian, but the organization effectively puts action behind their values in the model of servant leadership. “By the end, everyone was more comfortable with identifying themselves from a Lutheran organization and recognizing what’s special about that,” Olson said. “This is something that’s essential to our identity, and we mutually reinforced that with each other.” While this is the only “inward” initiative of Faith in the City, Olson says the leadership institute is about “building the strengths of the individual organizations to enable them to better serve their larger communities.” In this second year, a coaching component was added to the initiative, and Olson is one of two from the first group who will be coaching members of the second group. “It’s an honor to be asked and identified as an emerging leader,” she said. “Now I have the responsibility to carry out that gift.” Winter 2005-06 Scholarship brunch honors donors and students On Nov. 20, the Scholarship and Donor Brunch was the place where more than 170 Augsburg donors were honored for their generosity and commitment to Augsburg College. Scholarship donors, Heritage Society donors who have estate plans that include Augsburg, and Maroon & Silver Society donors, who give annual support at the leadership level for Augsburg scholarships, were all thanked. It was also the place where 100 students had the opportunity to meet the families behind the scholarships they've received. Student body president Paul Cumings, speaking on behalf of students, told the donors, “You give; it’s not required, but I’m here to tell you it’s appreciated.” Philip Rowberg Sr. ’41 had not been on campus since 1948. He recently endowed a scholarship in memory of his wife, Betty, who died last year. “I decided to fund a scholarship in appreciation of Philip Rowberg Sr. ’41 (left) recently endowed a scholarship in memory of his wife, Betty. At the brunch he met the scholarship’s first recipient, Evan Holmes ’06 (right). Winter 2005-06 the education I received here,” Rowberg said. “Nothing is more important than investing in the education of our young people.” The Philip and Helen Taylor Rowberg Scholarship gives preference to a student from rural Minnesota. Rowberg and his son, Philip Jr., were able to meet its first recipient, Evan Holmes ’06, from Janesville, Minn. Among other donors at the reception were the Rev. Orville ’52 and Yvonne (Bagley) ’52 Olson, and their son Jonathan. In 1993, the Olsons established a scholarship in memory of another son, Timothy, and in recognition of his devotion to Jonathan. “The scholarship is in honor of son Timothy. Our other son, Jonathan, has a disability, so we made our scholarship available to students in college who have special needs or are going into the field of special education. Nicky Cronin ’08, the recipient of the Olson scholarship, is a special education major in emotional/behavioral and learning disabilities. “Our giving has been out of profound gratitude to Augsburg for the many blessings we received as college students and over the years,” said Yvonne Olson. “I personally am one of 11 siblings, and eight of us have attended Augsburg. My husband and I graduated in the same class, and our daughter, Beth (Olson), and her husband, Scott Bouman, both graduated in the Class of 1977. That’s our connection to Augsburg.” “‘Tak for alt’—we noticed this saying on a lot of gravestones around Scandinavia,” Olson continued. “This saying is important to our family. It’s a symbol of gratitude and means ‘thanks for everything.’ ” The Rev. Orville Olson ’52 and his wife, Yvonne (Bagley) ’52 Olson created a scholarship in memory of their son Timothy and his devotion to brother Jonathan (center). They enjoyed meeting this year’s recipient, Nicole Cronin ’08 (back center). 23 Roarin’ and soarin’ to the finish at Si Melby At Homecoming 2005, hundreds of alumni, students, fans, friends, and even prospective students celebrated and cheered for the campaign to expand Si Melby Hall with a new south wing addition. It was a celebration of Auggie athletics past, present, and future. Emcee Tim McNiff, from KARE-11 TV, introduced coaches and athletic teams, fired up the crowd with achievements and successes of Augsburg’s athletic program, and extolled the benefits of the new south wing. A virtual video tour took the crowd through the proposed 27,000 new square feet that includes expanded classroom space, a fitness center, training areas, and more. The project was explained in depth by Jeff Swenson ’79, head wrestling coach and assistant dean for athletics, and regent and campaign co-chair Mike Freeman. The video also featured testimonials from current and former student-athletes and administrators. The Si Melby completion team, led by Freeman, has rallied volunteers to work with them to make sure that all Augsburg athletes and friends have opportunities to help Augsburg reach the goal. The team includes Dan Anderson ’65, Rich Colvin ’74, Mike Good ’71, Jane Helmke ’83, and Glen Person ’47. Staff support to the team includes Swenson and Development Office staff: Jeroy Carlson ’48, Jack Osberg ’62, Ron Main ’56, and Donna McLean. Momentum continues to grow as the team pushes toward the final goal, enjoying additional volunteer support from Bob Strommen ’74, “Butch” Raymond ’63, Rick Ekstrand ’72, Dave Andell ’71, Bob Martin ’71, Bruce Brekke ’70, and Erv Inniger. Each sport is also gathering alumni support to help complete the project so that Student-athletes cheered as coaches, teams, and alumni spoke at the athletic celebration. 24 Winter 2005-06 groundbreaking can occur as soon as possible. Augsburg is especially grateful to Alan Rice for making the first lead gift in the amount of $1 million and to Dean ’75 and Terry Kennedy for the largest lead gift of $2 million, in addition to several others whose gifts helped kick off the campaign for the new south wing.

Winter 2005-06 Jeff Swenson ’79 (left), head wrestling coach and assistant dean, and Mike Freeman, Augsburg regent and campaign co-chair, kept the crowd fired up about Auggie athletic successes and the progress toward the new south wing of Si Melby Hall. Faculty and Staff Make It Happen Faculty and staff launched a campaign in September to increase giving to the Access to Excellence campaign among Augsburg employees. The goal of the faculty-staff campaign was to significantly increase the participation rate of giving from within the Augsburg community—a critical factor to funding agencies when reviewing grant proposals from the College. At the end of last fiscal year in May, the overall participation rate among the more than 800 faculty and staff employed by the College was 22%. As of Nov. 10, with more than half the current fiscal year remaining, that figure has risen to 29%. An even greater indicator of commitment to the campaign goals from within the College is the giving rate among full-time faculty and staff, and staff who work more than 50% of the time. As of Nov. 10, full-time faculty giving rose to 54%, while the rate among full- and nearly-full-time staff was at 41%. First-time givers and those who increased their current gifts were eligible for a full match from a special fund established by a group of faculty emeriti, faculty, and staff whose generosity enabled even small gifts to grow in size. In addition, new and increased gifts from members of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans were also eligible for a 50% match from that organization. 25 AAlumni LUMNINews NEWS From the director of Alumni Relations… G reetings! As the new director of Alumni Relations, it is a great pleasure for me to have the continued opportunity to work with Augsburg’s alumni and our many Augsburg friends. In addition to myself, Donna Torgeson currently serves as assistant director of our newly re-structured Office of Alumni Relations. Donna finds herself busy working with the Class Agents, the Augsburg Associates, and also coordinating with the alumni group traveling to China this spring. You may have also worked with her on your reunion group this past year. I have been at Augsburg since 1986, when I began working in the undergraduate admissions office. In 2002, I joined the Alumni/Parent Relations office working with the Parent Council, Homecoming and Reunions, plus many events on and off campus. I am very fortunate to now be working closely with the Alumni Board—please take a look at the calendar on the next page and join us for one of many upcoming events. If you are interested in more information regarding opportunities to join the Alumni Board, or if you believe that you know an alum who should be nominated for our Distinguished Alumni, First Decade, or Spirit of Jon Thorson ’86 leads groundbreaking research with anti-cancer potential E mploying a simple new technique to manipulate the sugars that power many front-line drugs, a team of Wisconsin scientists, led by Augsburg alumnus Jon S. Thorson, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of WisconsinMadison, has enhanced the anti-cancer properties of a digitalis, a drug commonly used to treat heart disease. Reported in the August 8 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Thorson and the team describe a series of experiments that boosted the cellkilling potency and tumor specificity of the drug, derived from the foxglove plant and used to stimulate the heart. The drug is suspected to have anti-cancer properties, but its use to treat cancer has been little explored. The new work is important because it provides scientists and drug companies with a quick and easy way to manipulate the sugars found in chemicals produced in nature. According to Thorson, the technology 26 can be widely applied: “We’ve already taken this chemistry and applied it to many different drug classes. It’s possible to extend it to antibiotics and antivirals.” The new technique, according to Thorson, will play a prominent role in the new UW National Cooperative Drug Discovery Group, a consortium of UW scientists seeking to develop new anticancer drugs from natural products. Thorson joined the UW School of Pharmacy in the summer of 2001, and since moving to UW has been designated an American Society of Pharmacognosy Matt Suffness Awardee (2004) and a UW H.I. Romnes Fellow (2004). From 19962001, Thorson held appointments as an assistant member of the Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center and assistant professor of Sloan-Kettering Division, Joan and Sanford I. Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Cornell University, during which he was named a Rita Allen Foundation Scholar (1998-2002) and Alfred P. Sloan Fellow (2000-2002).

Winter 2005-06 ALUMNI PROFILE Stan Waldhauser 100 years young: Community celebrates Knut Hoversten’s 100th birthday by Bill Vander Weele Reprinted by permission of the Sidney Herald in Sidney, Montana When Knut Hoversten [Class of 1930] was nine months old, he suffered from whooping cough. In May, he officially celebrated his 100th birthday. In between, there have been very few illnesses or other physical problems for the longtime Sidney resident. Because of rheumatism in his knees and hips, Hoversten uses a wheelchair, but appears to be in excellent health for someone who is a century old. He credits his long life to a harmonious family and living in Big Sky Country. “I watched my appetite very closely,” Hoversten said. “I don’t do any drinking or smoking.” He remembers being an 8-year-old boy and reading about proper diet during his mother’s trip to the doctor’s office. “I always had food that was tested by proper nutrition. I kind of studied a balanced diet all through my life. I studied the kind of vitamins food contained, especially food with good vitamins.” His daughters say Hoversten’s wife of 65 years, Hazel, also played an important role in his health. Hazel died in November 2004 at the age of 93. “She took awfully good care of him,” said daughter Julianne Mell ’64. “She was a nurse and made sure he ate right.” During the past year, Hoversten received the shocking news from his dentist that he had two cavities—the first in his life. Hoversten remembers, “I had to have all of my baby teeth pulled by a dentist because of the strength of my teeth.” Hoversten currently lives with his daughter, Carol Anderson, in Spokane, Wash. He remains busy during the day by reading, visiting friends, and seeing his greatgrandchildren. “My mom and dad used to come out and visit, so it’s been a second home for him,” Anderson said. Knut Hoversten celebrated his 100th birthday in May. Since his graduation from Augsburg in 1930, more than 40 members of the extended Hoversten family have also attended, including the family’s most recent Augsburg graduate, Kari Lucin ’03. The pair, along with the entire Hoversten clan, was honored in 2003 with the Distinguished Service Award. The oldest of 14 children (eight are still living), Hoversten attended Augsburg College in Minneapolis. He then went to the University of Minnesota, where he majored in chemistry, physics, and aeronautics. Years later, he finished his master’s degree at Montana State University. “He still reads and has been a student all his life,” said his daugher, Mell. Hoversten can speak several languages, including Norwegian, German, Greek, Latin, and French. “The best resources of medical sources are in German and Russian,” Hoversten said. He feels the greatest advances during his life came in the physics and medicine fields. “It started out pulling slivers out of your hand with a tweezers, and turned into working with DNA,” Hoversten said. Knut Hoversten ’30 He experienced many highlights during his 40 years of teaching. One memory he shared was building a rocket with a student in the 1950s and setting the rocket off from the baseball field. “It went pretty high,” he said. That student was Kendall Habedank, who is now a retired major general from the Air Force. Many students are thankful that Hoversten went into the teaching field. He was hoping to become a doctor, but because of the Depression, he couldn’t continue his education. “I ran out of money,” he said. “But I think his teaching was rewarding,” Mell said. “He was meant to be a teacher. I think he influenced more people than he would had he been a doctor.” Hoversten’s non-teaching activities included being a member of the Sidney Kiwanis Club for 58 years, a member of Pella Lutheran Church for 59 years, and director of the Methodist Church choir for 30 years. His many years of retirement featured teaching Norwegian at the Sons of Norway and working as a piano tuner. “I’ve got a good reputation in all of the area for being a good piano tuner.” When asked if he ever thought he would celebrate his 100th birthday, Hoversten said, “No. But I didn’t object to it.” Winter 2005-06 33 Class Notes Courtsey photo AUGGIES ABROAD AUGSBURG CENTENNIAL SINGERS 2006 FLORIDA APPEARANCES Concert Performances FEBRUARY 1 Trinity Lutheran Church and School 3016 S.

I am an educator and college president because I have been blessed in my life with passionate teachers who have taught me to love great ideas, imaginative skills, faithful acts, and vibrant communities. I teach and lead so that others also might love what I have learned to love. A wise alumna of Rockford College—from which I have arrived to take up my new post here at Augsburg—asked me during the interview process there in 2001 what I was reading and why. What a great question and what an intriguing way to know someone. Allow me therefore to offer a few texts that are always near at hand for me, and that offer you a glimpse into the issues and ideas that inspire my work. The Bible is the source of my worldview. It teaches me of faithful and abundant lives, of generous love surpassing all understanding, and of a gracious story that still unfolds around all of us in our lives in this world and beyond. The Constitution of the United States sits on my desk as a reminder of the truths and aspirations of our democracy. In those truths is the stuff of patriotism, properly understood. Michael Ignatieff’s The Needs of Strangers is an elegant essay that draws together some of the best of human thought to help all of us better understand what it means to care for each other. Jane Addams’ Twenty Years at Hull-House is the story of a life led in a neighborhood, serving others and strengthening democracy. Parker Palmer’s Let Your Life Speak is my roadmap to vocational journeys. And Wendell Berry’s What Are People For? challenges us to remember the proper scale of human work and life—and to fight for sustainability in the world bent on destroying itself. Shall we read together? Shall we find the time to talk together about great ideas and actions? Shall we work together to make the world a more faithful, just, and humane place for all God’s people? I believe that is what Augsburg stands for and I could not be more pleased—or have a deeper sense of gratitude—for the privilege to lead this remarkable college. I look forward to our work together on behalf of Augsburg College. Yours, Paul C.

Promotion to professor Andrew Aoki, political science Vicki Olson, education The president’s leadership teams Congratulations, faculty! Ted Grindal is elected board chair At its spring meeting on May 5, the Augsburg Board of Regents elected H. Theodore Grindal ’76 the new chair for a six-year term. “My goal is to help the board keep true to our vision and mission,” said Grindal, which includes supporting the president and serving as ambassadors to the community on behalf of Augsburg. “If we do these things, the College will continue to move forward positively.” President Paul Pribbenow has formed two teams to help him lead the College: The President’s Cabinet will be the primary administrative decision-making body for the College and includes the two special assistants, five vice presidents, and chief information officer. (see photo on p. 14) The President’s Advisory Group comprises a representative group of Augsburg College faculty, staff, and students whose primary role is to convene regularly on a one-year appointment to advise the president on key institutional issues, to receive reports on institution-wide projects and initiatives, and to engage in an ongoing conversation about future opportunities and challenges related to institutional planning and activity. Editor’s note After its first six years, Augsburg Now has received a makeover— not extreme, but aiming to read more easily, look fresher, and appear more contemporary with Augsburg’s other communications.

Kids creating art on Riverside Avenue Augsburg art faculty member Robert K. Tom, students from the Cedar Riverside Community School, and volunteers from the Augsburg community have begun work on a project that will turn dour concrete walls at Augsburg’s 21st Avenue entrance into a ceramic bas-relief mural. The mural is an outgrowth of the Cedar Riverside–Augsburg Pottery Cooperative, an ongoing partnership that Tom began with the Cedar Riverside Community School. Each week fifth- through eighth-grade students from the largely Somali, Asian, and Hispanic neighborhood participate in hands-on pottery and art workshops. Starting in the fall, Augsburg volunteers and the students will create clay press moulds to be replicated over and over—moulds of icons and symbols that Tom says “represent their thoughts, values, concerns, and/or inner beliefs.” They will be fired and placed in a radiant mandala pattern along the 220 square foot walls. In July, students in the CREATION summer arts program, sponsored by Trinity Lutheran Congregation, enjoyed a four-day head start on the project. This project recently won Tom a seed grant from Forecast Public Art, a Twin Cities-based organization nationally recognized as a public art resource, to carry out the project through November. Tom is currently seeking additional funds for further continuation. Tom said that he found regular walks in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood to be the impetus for a project to chisel away at the “invisible barrier between the Augsburg campus and the community of Cedar Avenue.” To him it seemed that despite the lively energy of the dense multiethnic neighborhood, “there were two worlds existing sideby-side with little interaction.” — Darcy Trunzo ’06 FA L L 2 0 0 6 3 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 12:44 PM Page 6 AROUND THE QUAD SPORTS Campus mourns longtime English professor Seven students receive athletic honors John Mitchell, who taught English at Augsburg for 36 years, died on Aug. 17 at the age of 66. A memorial service was held for him on Sept. 8 in Hoversten Chapel. Mitchell taught courses in poetry, writing, and film. Repeatedly, former students remark that John Mitchell’s classes were among the most difficult and the most memorable they took. They describe his teaching as challenging, engaging, enraging, inspiring, and influential. He always found time for students and took great effort to correct and edit their papers. His passion for film led to a two-year sabbatical to study film at San Francisco State University. English department colleague Robert Cowgill remembers that when the Oak Street Cinema opened, Mitchell often attracted groups of people around him after the shows who stood and listened to hear his thoughts about the films. On campus, Mitchell was often seen with clusters of students and colleagues, enjoying a conversation. In 1996, Mitchell was devastated by the death of John Engman, an Augsburg student whom Mitchell had met in 1968, during his first year of teaching at the College. Following Engman’s premature death, Mitchell became the executor of his literary estate and worked to find a publisher for a manuscript Engman left. This poetry collection, Temporary Help, was published by Holy Cow! Press and was nominated for a Minnesota Book Award in 1998. 4 AUGSBURG NOW Augsburg College has awarded seven seniors with its athletic awards for accomplishment, leadership, and character on the playing field and in the classroom. Athletic awards are voted on by coaches in Augsburg’s men’s and women’s athletic departments. Augsburg mourns the death of English professor John Mitchell, who died in August. Mitchell was born in Decatur, Ala., and earned degrees from Maryville College and the University of Tennessee. He met his wife, Jean, while they both served in the Peace Corps in Liberia. For a number of years, Mitchell was faculty adviser to Murphy Square, Augsburg’s literary arts journal. Last year, in the foreword to its 30th anniversary edition, he wrote, “I get more pleasure from being published in Murphy Square than from a nationally distributed magazine. Why? Well, more people are likely to read my work, people I know and care about, and readers who will be more able to construe it in terms of my known local identity. To put it in literary jargon, I have the chance to be a public poet rather than merely a private one.” — Betsey Norgard 2005–06 Augsburg Honor Athletes Mitchell was also a frequent contributor to Murphy Square. This poem appears in the 1998 edition: The Sound of Two Pie Pans The brief little period when you Are alive is more than enough To make up for all the years When you were giving yourself Advice. How wonderful to perspire, To examine the back side of a leaf, To admire the angel worms Gorged on their silk. You could Walk for days sucking an orange. You could write letters home Without stopping to compose Your face. Living is like banging Two pie pans together at midnight For the brief silence that precedes The noise. No, living is not anything You can say. It’s an attitude Of swanky delight, and the absence Of attitude, simple sleep at night.

Melius Christiansen, including choral favorites of thousands of choral concertgoers, such as Beautiful Savior, Wake Awake, O Day Full of Grace, Psalm 50, Praise to the Lord The Almighty, and Lost In The Night, among others. Born in Norway in 1871, Christiansen came to the United States at age 17. In 1892, he attended a concert by the Augsburg Quartet in Wisconsin and was attracted to Augsburg College, where he became a quartet member. In 1903 he accepted an appointment as director of the St. Olaf College music program. He founded the St. Olaf Choir in 1911 and directed it until 1941, becoming internationally known for his Sunday, Nov. 19, 2006 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, Minn.

During this fall semester, he’ll still be commuting from Northfield, but to a classroom instead of an office. He has taught a journalism course in Weekend College for the past five years, and in September he’ll teach it both in the day and weekend programs—plus, teach a public relations course in both programs. Much of Jorgensen’s tenure as public relations director focused on raising the visibility of Augsburg in both the local and national media. “I feel like we became more of a ‘player’ in terms of which institutions should be contacted when media sources were searching for across-the-board responses to different educational questions,” Jorgensen says. He recalls an editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education telling him that Augsburg and President Frame were the first who came to mind from small liberal arts colleges when planning a national forum on college presidencies. Jorgensen also enjoyed seeing more faculty included as key resources in the media—faculty who “took on a willingness to be called upon,” he says. “That sort of cooperative spirit exemplifies the overall ‘can do’ spirit of the institution. I loved that.” For his retirement outside of teaching, he has several writing projects waiting, especially a novel about the Black Hills of South Dakota. He and his wife, Susan, have first-hand experience living there and have been collecting information for many years. He has also been asked by his publisher for additional youth sports novels. 8 AUGSBURG NOW Herald Johnson—Augsburg’s first financial aid officer—retires after 37 years When he came as a freshman in 1961, Herald Johnson ’68 probably had no clue he would still be at Augsburg in 2006. He stayed on to become an admissions counselor, but moved into financial aid when new federal programs required administrative oversight. In the 37 years since, he has served as a pioneer, leader, and mentor among Minnesota financial aid officers. One of Johnson’s legacies at Augsburg is the Enrollment Center. He and Julie Olson, vice president for enrollment management, played important roles in the concept development and implementation of bringing several financial aid and enrollment offices together in a one-stop shop for students. He is the only person to have been twice elected president of the Minnesota Association of Financial Aid Administrators (MAFAA). He is proud of the Futures Task Force he created with his charge to past presidents: “I want you to look at our association with critical eyes and see if we’re poised for what you see coming down the road.” His retirement plans include a fair amount of work, but his four children and seven grandchildren are top priority. “The kids are my friends,” Johnson says—“it’s really cool.” Their gift to him is a trip to Norway to meet relatives and explore his heritage—a longtime dream. He’ll continue as a consultant at Augsburg with the Scholastic Connections program, the Scholarship Brunch, and with government relations concerning financial aid issues in 2007. He mentions that among his pleasures at Augsburg was hiring student workers and following their careers as they assume leadership positions both at Augsburg and around the state. At the end of his notice of thanks following a retirement celebration, Johnson wrote, “As we Norwegians say, ‘Mange tusen tak.’” — Betsey Norgard 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 11 American Indian Studies— a cultural commitment Augsburg’s newest department makes a bold statement for the College—about commitment, about culture, and about heritage. After being offered as a minor and major for a number of years, the faculty approved the creation of an American Indian Studies Department, headed by Associate Professor Eric Buffalohead. The new department models Augsburg’s mission to serve diverse populations, says Buffalohead, and it signals to students, parents, and the community that it’s permanent and a great choice for a major— and not just a selection of courses that may change. The number of students in the program has been growing, and they are beginning to shift from Native to non-Native students. American Indian Studies is a valuable major, second major, or minor for students who are preparing for work with human services—in business, health care, education, youth and family ministry, etc. “AIS courses and skills are transferable,” Buffalohead says, “to law, politics, service—it’s about cultural understanding.” Since the program is small, students often take several courses with the same professor. For native students, the program also serves as a safety net where they can relate to faculty and staff. The department works closely with Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services program. This multidisciplinary department includes courses in history, literature, religion, film, women’s studies, and special topics. The faculty seek opportunities to build in experiential opportunities, such as learning in the community, internships, and study abroad. Next winter, Assistant Professor Elise Marubbio will M. Elise Marubbio and Eric Buffalohead are two of the faculty in Augsburg’s new American Indian Studies Department. lead a travel program to Guatemala, focusing on indigenous issues of the Mayan people. Film has become a focus in the AIS program. For three years, the College has sponsored the Augsburg Native American Film Series, which screens documentary films, often with the filmmaker present to lead discussion. It also provides a venue for selections from other film festivals, and links to Augsburg’s Indigenous Filmmakers course. Buffalohead says that Augsburg’s American Indian Studies Department seeks to excel as a regional center for the study of Indians in the Upper Midwest. Students can study one year of Ojibwe language on campus, with the possibility of a second year of study. Buffalohead’s experience in American Indian Studies dates back to age five, when his father became the first chair of the American Indian Studies Department at the University of Minnesota, and Eric would visit his office. After earning academic degrees in anthropology, he also taught at the university, which he considers to have been good training for Augsburg’s new department. For information on American Indian Studies, contact Eric Buffalohead at [email protected] or go to www.augsburg.edu/ais. — Betsey Norgard Killing the Indian Maiden: Images of Native American Women in Film by M. Elise Marubbio Native American women have been characterized as various figures in film for over 100 years. None, however, has intrigued Elise Marubbio more than the young Native woman who falls in love or is connected with a white hero and dies for this choice. Marubbio’s book, Killing the Indian Maiden: Images of Native American Women in Film, will be published in December by the University Press of Kentucky. The book analyzes 34 A-list Hollywood films, from the silent era to the present, to analyze the depictions of women and the themes and myths that are played out. The book stems from her dissertation and unites her various areas of interest—she has degrees in fine arts/photography, American Indian Studies, and cultural studies. It is the first in-depth study in this area and is important for film studies, women’s studies, cultural studies, and American Indian studies. Marubbio researched film archives at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, and the Cecil B. DeMille Archives at Brigham Young University. A dissertation fellowship from the American Association of University Women gave her time to write. What she found, she says, is that “over a 90-year period this figure emerged in premier films in various forms as either the Princess or Sexualized Maiden, figures through whose body national themes of colonialism, violence toward women of color, and feats of interracial mixing are played out. “All the films reinforce American myths of the frontier, Manifest Destiny, and the ideal of Anglo-European America’s pre-modernization innocence through this image,” Marubbio says.

She reported an exact total of $55,009,761 received to date. Retiring president William Frame commented that this could not have been achieved without everyone’s participation. He described vocation as “living so that you create community,” and this accomplishment could not have happened unless Augsburg is becoming “something called ‘community.’” President Paul Pribbenow wrote in a memo to the Augsburg community in July, “As called for in our original campaign plan, we are continuing to raise funds for all Access to Excellence campaign projects (Kennedy, Gateway, and science facilities, along with our endowment) through the end of the 2006 calendar year.

Pribbenow has identified the science building as one of his top priorities, and says that “with anticipation and momentum we will now redouble and refocus our efforts to raise funds to see the completion of the science project.” Construction began on the Kennedy Sports and Recreation Complex in Melby Hall in May, and on the Oren Gateway Center in July. — Betsey Norgard A gift of $1 million has been given by Norman and Evangeline (Vangie) Hagfors for the renovation of Old Main and a potential home for the Center for Faith and Learning. Both Norman and Vangie enjoy longtime connections to Augsburg through the Lutheran Free Church. With this gift they honor both the physical and theological heart of the Lutheran Free Church as well as the renewed spiritual vitality of the College, guided by its Center for Faith and Learning. The renovated chapel in Old Main will be named for Vangie’s father, Rev. Elnar Gundale, who graduated from Augsburg College in 1933 and Augsburg Seminary in 1937. For more than 50 years, across four states, he served LFC churches and was the oldest living LFC pastor at the time of his death. From her childhood memories, Vangie recalls visits to their homes during the summers from the Augsburg Men’s Quartets. “Their proclamation of the Gospel as Augsburg ambassadors,” says Vangie, “made a very positive impression on the youth of the churches they visited, as well as their parents, who supported the school.” Three of Vangie’s siblings followed their father’s footsteps to Augsburg. Vangie also attended the College as part of her nurse’s training at Lutheran Deaconess Hospital. She remembers her class of 32 nurses walking across Franklin Avenue to Augsburg where they studied mostly science. Among other activities on campus, she attended chapel in Old Main. Norman Hagfors has been a member of Augsburg’s Board of Regents for more than twelve years, including serving as vice chairman 6121_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/14/06 12:15 PM Page 13 Above: The chapel in Old Mail will be restored and named for alumnus Rev. Elnar Gundale, ’33, ’37 Sem. Left: Vangie and Norman Hagfors and chairing committees. “I have enjoyed watching the College grow in stature both as an educational institution and in spiritual vitality,” he says. He gives much credit to President Emeritus William Frame who, he says, “really pushed the spiritual aspects of developing one’s life—not only at Augsburg, but as a spokesman to other colleges.” Norman graduated from the University of Minnesota in electrical engineering when biomedical engineering was in its infancy, and worked in medical research, authored many papers, and received a number of patents for his inventions. He also played a part in several “start up” medical device companies that brought implantable cardiac pacemakers and neurological devices for the treatment of chronic pain to the medical community. Norman and Vangie Hagfors have chosen to support the renovation of Old Main not only because of its physical significance in the history of the school, but because it embodies the spiri- tual foundation and concepts on which Augsburg was founded. Their hope is that the renovation will give support, emphasis, and inspiration to the spiritual life of the school and its students. Norman and Vangie have two married children and seven grandchildren. — Betsey Norgard The Center for Faith and Learning As the Old Main Chapel stands in the center of the campus, Augsburg’s new Center for Faith and Learning lies at the heart of Augsburg’s educational mission. Four years ago, Augsburg received its first grant from the Lilly Endowment for “Exploring Our Gifts,” helping students, faculty, and staff attend to their called lives of service. When the Lilly grants conclude in 2010, Augsburg’s Center for Faith and Learning will continue to embed and extend Augsburg’s leadership in vocation. A focal point in the Center for Faith and Learning is Augsburg’s first endowed chair, named for former Augsburg president and scholar Bernhard M. Christensen. In September 2005, retired Luther Seminary president and theologian David Tiede was inaugurated as the Bernhard M. Christensen Professor in Religion and Vocation. In his inauguration speech, Tiede explained the Center for Faith and Learning: “The purpose of the center is to guide the College in the theological exploration of vocation as understood within the Lutheran tradition. It will provide resources to faculty, staff, and students that enable them to organize faith and learning within a vocational framework.” The center is also building external partnerships to study faith and learning in the community. One example is faith@work!, a partnership with St. Philip the Deacon Church in Plymouth, Minn. This speaker series presents community leaders who provide examples and tools for living faith-based lives. (See information on the speakers and dates in the calendar on the inside back cover.) A $1 million gift from Norman and Vangie Hagfors will help renovate Augsburg’s oldest building. FA L L 2 0 0 6 1 1 6121_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/14/06 11:06 AM Page 14 Experience grounded in mission and vision: Paul Pribbenow’s call to Augsburg BY BETHANY BIERMAN 12 AUGSBURG NOW 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 15 “Hip, hip, hooray!” Thomas exclaimed, his right arm pumping in triumph. He had just been told his family’s picture would be on the cover of a magazine. “Wow, how about that!” replied his mother, as she brushed sand off his little sister Maya’s knees. I ndeed, it is a time for celebrating at Augsburg, as the Pribbenow family settles into Minneapolis and the Augsburg House. Not since Bernhard Christensen’s presidency, which began in 1938, has Augsburg’s first family included young children. Paul Pribbenow and his wife, Abigail, and their children, Thomas (5) and Maya (2), quickly have acclimated to the Augsburg community. On July 1, 2006, Pribbenow became the 11th president of Augsburg College, a position that colleagues close to him have known was his dream—to become the president of a Lutheran college. To that dream he brought a proven track record of success— from fundraising to developing mission and vision and from teaching to handling senior management issues. In announcing his Augsburg appointment to the Rockford College community, which he had served as president since 2002, Pribbenow stated, “The leadership opportunity at Augsburg College is a once-ina-lifetime chance to take the best of what I have learned at Rockford College, with its commitments to liberal arts and civic engagement in the city, and link that experience with a connection to the Lutheran Church, which is my personal faith tradition.” Over the months since his appointment, Pribbenow’s entry into the Augsburg community, through an unusual shared transition with retiring president William Frame, has seemed quite natural—as if it had been in the making for a long time. Son of a pastor Paul Pribbenow was born in Decorah, Iowa, during his father’s senior year at Luther College. The young family moved to St. Paul where his father attended seminary, then moved to a small town near Tomah, Wis., where his father’s ministry began. The eldest of six children, Pribbenow spent most of his youth in small towns around Madison. His family moved to Iowa during his ninth-grade year, and he graduated from high school in Denver, Iowa, near Waverly. Pribbenow graduated magna cum laude from Luther College in three years, with a B.A. in sociology and political science. “My first couple of years at Luther, I thought I would go to seminary,” Pribbenow recalls. Halfway through his third year, however, he admitted to one of his religion professors, “I love the study of religion, but I don’t feel called to be a minister.” The professor suggested looking into the Divinity School at the University of Chicago where he could engage the questions that interested him without specifically preparing for the ministry. Pribbenow entered the Divinity School in 1978 and spent the next 18 years in the Chicago area. “I went from never living in a big city to living on the south side of Chicago. If I have a place that I call home, it’s probably Chicago.” FA L L 2 0 0 6 1 3 6121_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/14/06 12:16 PM Page 16 The call begins Starting graduate school, Pribbenow felt his primary interest would be in teaching religion and ethics. Along the way, however, he began to focus his interests on the ethics and management of not-for-profit organizations. “I learned that in American society, non-profits are one of the important ways we live out our social ethic,” Pribbenow says. “I became intrigued by how organizations are managed and what link that has to how effective they are in helping society live out its social ethic. If there’s a problem in the way a college or museum is run, that’s going to have an impact on how well the institution will live out its mission and values.” Pribbenow began to understand these issues as examples of the need for reflective practice—linking learning with action. In order to practice what he preached, he took a job in fundraising at the university after receiving his M.A. in divinity. “I started up the administrative ladder, along the way I taught and had chances to write, but I never left the practice of administration. I started practicing what I studied and what I cared about. That was my calling.” The lines connect The President’s Cabinet (L to R) Leif Anderson, chief information officer; Barbara Edwards Farley, vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College; Ann Garvey, vice president of student affairs and dean of students; Tom Morgan, senior vice president and special assistant; President Pribbenow; Tracy Elftmann, vice president for institutional advancement; Julie Olson, vice president of enrollment management; Dick Adamson, vice president for finance and adminstration; and Gaye Lindfors, senior vice president and special assistant. 14 AUGSBURG NOW It was in these early years working at the University of Chicago that Pribbenow started to realize even more clearly the connection between his various interests—higher education, management, and ethics—and that he might have both the skills and commitment to be a college president. In 1993, Pribbenow was named vice president for institutional advancement at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago—an assignment that helped him gain valuable experience in leading a complex (and sometimes unpredictable!) organization. At the Art Institute he also met his future wife, Abigail, then a graduate student in the school’s arts administration program, when she interviewed with him for a job in event planning for the school. Paul and Abigail were on their honeymoon when the call from Wabash College came. After many years of living in the Windy City, the two packed up and headed to Crawfordsville, Ind., for a six-year 6121_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/14/06 12:17 PM Page 17 Abigail at a glance adventure where Paul served as dean for college advancement, secretary of the Board of Trustees, and research fellow in the liberal arts. A taste of the ministry While working at Wabash, Pribbenow got a call from the ELCA Indiana-Kentucky Synod bishop, saying, “‘There is a little SwedishLutheran church down the road from you in Attica, Ind., that has lost its pastor and can’t afford a full-time pastor. I was wondering if you’d take an interim assignment to serve them for six months, just to help?’” “I actually think he mistook me for my father,” Pribbenow chuckles. When he told the bishop he wasn’t ordained, the bishop responded that he would license him for the roles that would require ordination. “What was originally a short-term assignment turned into a three-year stint as interim pastor,” says Pribbenow. The Pribbenows moved to Rockford, Ill., on Easter Weekend 2002 for the start of Pribbenow’s presidency at Rockford College. After the couple and their son, Thomas, whom they adopted in Vietnam in 2001, made the Saturday trip from Central Indiana to Illinois with two heavily packed vehicles, Pribbenow turned around to make the five-hour trip back to Indiana so that he could preside at his last service the next morning—on Easter Sunday. “My work as interim pastor in Attica was a valuable experience for a new college president. It taught me some very important lessons about loving a congregation, preaching the lectionary, and presiding over congregational meetings—all activities that closely parallel the work of leading a college.” The Rockford years Pribbenow became the 16th president of Rockford College at an extremely important point. Critics at the time of his arrival described the four-year, independent college founded in 1847 as lacking in focus, and there were financial challenges that required immediate attention. In his four years at Rockford, Pribbenow led the campus community in a strategic long-range planning process that refocused on the liberal arts, launched new degree programs, renewed its commitment Abigail Crampton Pribbenow grew up in Flossmoor, Ill., outside of Chicago. She spent her junior year of high school as an exchange student in France and two subsequent years at the United World College–USA in New Mexico. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of Chicago and a Master of Arts in arts administration from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Dance has always been a keen interest for Abigail. While growing up, she studied classical ballet and in college learned modern dance and choreography. Combining her experience as a dancer and her administrative skills, Abigail’s professional work includes working in not-for-profit management at the Chicago Dance Coalition, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Wabash College, and the International School of Indiana. While preparing to adopt Thomas, she returned to teaching dance to children in Crawfordsville, Ind. Abigail has fully immersed herself in the life of each college and community in which she and Paul have lived, including serving as president of the Rockford Area Arts Council, church council member, board member for the Easter Seals Children’s Development Center, and host of the biannual women in the arts festival at Rockford College. Among her many accomplishments, she co-founded the Jelly Bean Ball, a family-friendly fundraiser for Easter Seals. She looks forward to finding her niche in the Augsburg community. Abigail anticipates much entertaining and relationship building in the next several months and expects her largest challenge to be figuring out when to integrate the children into these activities. For now, she’s glad to have figured out routes to the farmer’s markets and local parks. Thomas and Maya seem glad about this, too. to civic engagement, and engineered a provocative and attentiongrabbing branding campaign that played off of the image of the institution’s most famous alumna, Jane Addams, social reformer and the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Pribbenow family also received the blessing of a daughter while in Rockford when they adopted Maya in Chongqing, China, in 2004. The call to Augsburg When approached by the search consultant in 2005 about applying for the vacancy at Augsburg, Pribbenow was intrigued. He and Abigail knew Bill and Anne Frame through their work on a vocation project with the Council of Independent Colleges. “It was a call to a place that clearly is working to be faithful to its church tradition while also seeking to be faithful to its educational and civic engagement traditions,” says Pribbenow. “I’ve spent my entire career in non-sectarian places. … I’ve learned some valuable lessons about what it means to be faithful in the world, and I know those are lessons that will inform my work at Augsburg.” FA L L 2 0 0 6 1 5 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 18 Augsburg College— the first-year initiatives One College Based on the College’s mission that embraces the liberal arts, faith and values, life in the city, and diversity, the Augsburg community will engage in conversations that explore how all the curricular, co-curricular, administrative, and public work at Augsburg is grounded in the College’s singular mission and vision. Wherever it is found—in Minneapolis, Rochester, or around the world at its Center for Global Education sites—and whomever it teaches—traditional undergraduates or adult learners—and whatever it teaches—the traditional liberal arts or professional studies—how is Augsburg known as one college, dedicated to the same abiding values and aspirations? The Augsburg Promise—Experience and Image Based on the one college conversations, the Augsburg community will examine the promises it makes to students, faculty, staff, alumni, its neighborhood, and the wider world. We will consider how well we keep our promises in the daily work of the College. We then will explore how the Augsburg community can do an even better job of keeping its promises, talking to each other about those promises, and then illustrating to the world what the Augsburg brand is all about. Common Work at Augsburg The Augsburg community also will examine its organizational life—how it’s governed, who’s involved in leadership and decisionmaking, and what voices are heard (or not) in its daily life. Based on this examination, the College will develop an organizational structure that deploys resources responsibly and is accountable. Based on our common work of educating students, we also will seek to offer all members of the Augsburg community the opportunities to nurture and sustain their callings. Science at Augsburg As a college community, we will explore what it means to educate students in the sciences at Augsburg, within the context of the College’s mission—dedicated to our rich tradition of excellence in teaching and research, as well as to our commitments to scientific literacy and responsibility. Based on our findings, we will plan curricular and co-curricular programs, public outreach, and facilities appropriate to our highest aspirations for science education at Augsburg. A central feature of this project will be the re-launching of fundraising efforts for new science facilities at Augsburg. — Paul Pribbenow 16 AUGSBURG NOW Pribbenow did have hesitations about leaving Rockford. “I didn’t feel as though I’d been there long enough, and there were many issues still to be addressed.” He was encouraged to speak with Jean Taylor, chair of the Augsburg Board of Regents. “She listened carefully, and at the end of our conversation she said, ‘I think you’ve got to do what Augsburg has taught me—you’ve just got to listen.’ That was very insightful and critical to my decision to seek the Augsburg presidency.” It was a call to which he and Abigail couldn’t say “no.” A remarkable fit In his letter to the Augsburg search committee, Pribbenow spelled out why this opportunity seemed such a remarkable fit for his leadership and experience. To him leadership must also be understood as stewardship. He is committed to the role of a collaborative leader who has a “responsibility to help the college community ‘pay attention’ to its most deeply held values and priorities so that all gifts are well used.” This includes a uniting of the campus community in shared vision, as well as in varying forms of hospitality that engage the campus with its urban neighbors. Pribbenow wrote that his own deeply held sense of personal vocation builds on Martin Luther’s view of education that creates people of “wondrous ability, subsequently fit for everything.” A college that helps students discover this ability must in itself be a mission-driven and integrated institution, so that all students in all programs “are chal- 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 19 lenged and shaped by [a] vision to link education with engagement.” Pribbenow went on to write that he is “committed to the idea that colleges—and especially church-related colleges—are uniquely situated to help students of all ages to listen for and hear their own calls, to find their vocations for life and service in the world.” As an ethicist he has examined professional work in society and understands how significantly reflective thinking (linking learning and experience) and personal faith affect public well-being. As he begins his Augsburg presidency, Pribbenow finds Augsburg and Rockford colleges very similar in their commitments to civic engagement. “I am here because of that commitment to educating students for democracy, and I intend to make it an even more important focal point. Augsburg should be known for what it does in civic engagement. … We need to say to the world, ‘Look at what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. There are important lessons about faithful life in the world that are being taught and practiced at Augsburg.’” The key difference between the colleges, he says, is of course the connection to the church. “The role at Augsburg of Lutheran faith and human religious experience shapes the education of students and defines a central aspect of our identity as a college,” Pribbenow states. “I need to have a different lens to the way I look at issues that I didn’t in a non-sectarian institution. That’s an energizing and meaningful aspect of the work ahead of us.” The plan Pribbenow’s initiatives for his first year at Augsburg all point to action (see the sidebar on the opposite page). “We need to take the good vision work that’s been done during the Frame presidency and translate it into organizational activity and image so that people will look at Augsburg and say, ‘I see what this college cares about.’” When asked what he hopes the headlines will read when he retires, Pribbenow answers, “I do hope we’ll be here until I retire, and when I’m ready to step down that the community will have the same affection and love that people had for Bill and Anne, because we were faithful to what this college is called to do. … I hope the headlines will read that I helped Augsburg to be even more faithful to its calling, and that as a result, this little college stands as a 21st-century model for faithful and responsible liberal arts education in a city.” As far as Thomas and Maya’s plans, they seem content to be getting to know their new hometown. When asked his favorite thing about Minneapolis, Thomas answered, “The Mall of America! On the log ride, there’s this big guy with an axe. He’s GI-NORMOUS!” Without a doubt, Augsburg seems to be on the cusp of some pretty “gi-normous” opportunities as well. Ⅵ 5 things you may not know about Paul Pribbenow: 1. He writes his own version of a “blog,” known as Notes for the Reflective Practitioner. 2. He sang professionally for 13 years in Chicago. (His father and he both sang for Weston Noble at Luther.) 3. He doesn’t eat red meat or lutefisk. (Perhaps the latter has to do with his first job cleaning out the lutefisk tub in the Stoughton, Wis., grocery store cooler.) 4. While it’s true that his mentor and dissertation adviser Martin Marty wears a bow tie, it wasn’t until years after learning to tie them for the many black tie affairs he attended at the Art Institute of Chicago that he decided to adopt the look on a daily basis. 5. In his car stereo you’ll find National Public Radio, the Mars Hill tapes (conversations on Christianity and modern culture), choral music, or Raffi (children’s musician and entertainer).

Teeming with delicacies from rutabagas to radishes and kale to kohlrabi, these bountiful boxes are courtesy of Gary Brever’s Ploughshare Farm, a family-owned organic farm in Parker’s Prairie, Minn. Brever’s parents, Jeanie and DeWayne, deliver the veggies each week to drop-off sites in Alexandria, St. Cloud, and the Twin Cities, delighting urban dwellers who have increasingly searched for more freshness in their summer diets. Brever is a small-business owner and entrepreneur just as much as an organic farmer, and has carved a niche for his farm in the growing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement. In the CSA model, individuals and families purchase a “share” of the harvest at the beginning of the growing season in exchange for a weekly box of vegetables from mid-June to early October. Typically, paying customers receive the produce themselves, but Brever has augmented his market by allowing people or congregations to purchase shares and donate them to hunger organizations like the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College (CKAC). For the past three summers, these white produce boxes have formed the food foundation for Augsburg’s Campus Kitchen—a student-driven food recycling organization. Volunteers use this produce along with surplus food from Sodexho’s campus dining services and local food banks to prepare nutritious, free meals for residents in neighboring community programs. The premise has always been simple: there is far too much good food going to landfills and far too many agencies that can’t afford to buy food for their hungry clients. By recycling food and empowering students to prepare meals and share them with immigrant youth, the homeless, and homebound elders, CKAC uses food as a tool to engage students in the community, to reduce the amount of discarded campus food, and to forge bonds in Augsburg’s neighborhood through the universal language of a shared meal.

At the same time, the programs redefine stewardship by supporting local farmers and they educate youth about dietary choices that can simultaneously heal both the earth and their bodies. Above: Campus Kitchen culinary job Taste the difference trainee Kenny Peterson chops lettuce fresh For the Campus Kitchen, the quality of freshness is staggering. Each week, the menu for clients is set according to the contents in those boxes, an adventurous undertaking in and of itself. “Working with local produce has been an exciting challenge,” says Opay. “I get to work with food I’ve never used before, which has been a great learn- from Ploughshare Farm.

Plus, our clients love the results!” That’s because the results are often worthy of an epicurean’s table: dishes such as arugula salad with shaved fennel and marinated chioggia beets or southern-style collards and cabbage. These meals are then delivered, served, and shared with the community by Augsburg students, staff, and alumni. In addition, each week’s harvest is so bountiful that CKAC can share full boxes of fresh produce with the Brian Coyle Center food shelf. In the heart of the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, this community food shelf primarily serves East-African immigrants, a population that prefers to prepare meals from scratch and spurns the canned goods and highly processed foods that usually fill food shelves. Brever, like the Campus Kitchen, believes that true community health can begin with what people have on their dinner plates. Having spent a few years on a Catholic Worker farm in Washington state, he was well accustomed to the corn-syrup-laden, preservativerich foods typical of food shelves. While these foods may fill bellies, they do little to build health. Brever also saw the preponderance of these products as a good indicator of the shortcomings embodied by our industrial food system, where—according to Francis Moore Lappé and Anna Lappé in their book Hope’s Edge—about half of a typical grocery store’s more than 30,000 items are produced by 10 multinational food and beverage companies. A rural Minnesotan by birth, Brever knew the effect this homogenized system has on the fabric of rural farming communities and the 20 AUGSBURG NOW relative lack of nutritive value provided by these preserved foods. Longing for an alternative, he envisioned a system where small, family farmers could thrive while even the urban poor could gain access to fresh, responsibly grown produce. In short, everyone deserves food grown with care, harvested at peak ripeness, and made into meals that nourish the body and sustain the mind. Redefining stewardship Brever saw the CSA model as the answer. By offering people the opportunity to donate locally-grown produce, he felt he could help farms like his to earn a living wage while getting more healthy food options to urban populations who lack access to such luxury. “At its core, it’s about relationship,” says Brever. “How are we supporting the farmers and the communities that grow our food?” In an increasingly complicated world, it’s no longer enough to merely feed people. We must also take into account how that food is grown and prepared while weighing the environmental and economic realities we’re supporting with our food decisions. The model has been hugely successful, as church congregations and individual donors love the idea of enriching the urban community while helping small farms succeed. In Brever’s words, feeding the hungry is “no longer just about charity. Now, it’s also about change.” At Augsburg, the Campus Kitchen has been helping to usher in those changes. Thanks to a generous donation from St. Martin’s Table, the local restaurant and social-justice bookstore, CKAC is embarking on its third summer of vegetables from Ploughshare Farm. 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 23 In addition to preparing meals for clients, the produce is now being leveraged to educate youth about the health benefits of a diverse diet, and the power we have to effect change with something as simple as our eating habits. Project C.H.O.I.C.E.S Few tactics succeed when it comes to getting kids to taste new vegetables. Unless, of course, you involve them in the cooking process. Each week, CKAC volunteer Trish Hannah leads a cooking class with 11- to 14-year-old participants in the Brian Coyle Center’s Jump Start program. Seasonal dishes such as a strawberry, spinach, and grilled asparagus salad that would have originally garnered a cacophonous chorus of “eew” and “boo” are suddenly finding a receptive audience in these young culinarians. Project C.H.O.I.C.E.S (Community Health Originates in Creating Environmental Sustainability) is a curriculum devised by Hannah in conjunction with CKAC and Jennifer Tacheny, coordinator of Celeste’s Dream Community Garden Project. Its goal is to awaken the power in students to choose health for their bodies and the earth. Through cooking classes using local produce, it seeks to teach youth the full cycle of food—from the field to the table to the compost bin—while empowering them to choose respect. It means the choice to respect their bodies with healthy, tasty food that was grown in a responsible manner and as close to home as possible. And the choice to respect their neighborhoods and backyards by picking up litter and composting food waste. Using the common denominator of food, the curriculum hopes to teach self-sufficiency and empower these youth to cultivate healthy, responsible lifestyles. Honoring the full cycle Brever can’t think of a better outlet for his produce. “So many nonprofits are forced to measure their impact in pounds of food. Just as it’s hard to measure the intangible nutritional and environmental values of buying local and organic produce, you can’t measure the intangible value of sharing a meal with someone,” he says. “Not only does the Campus Kitchen share my food with people in Minneapolis, it also uses it as a teaching tool for empowerment.” And the Campus Kitchen can’t think of a better direction to be heading, helping to better their urban backyard while supporting the work of organic farmers in Minnesota. With the success of the Ploughshare Farm partnership and the positive impact of programs like Project C.H.O.I.C.E.S., the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College hopes to expand its programs to involve more local growers and to take clients on field trips to the farms that make the meals possible. It could also lead to the creation of a local community garden where clients get their own chance to participate first-hand in the full cycle of food. Through the Campus Kitchen, Augsburg is redefining what it means to be a good urban neighbor and, simultaneously, support rural communities.

Right: Augsburg pilgrims cross the old bridge into Estaing, France. 22 AUGSBURG NOW o, how was France?” is the usual question. “Good. Great,” is the typical answer that satisfies a polite inquiry. The real answer takes a little longer. “What’s the first word of the rule?” my colleague, [Professor] Phil Adamo, asks, and not for the first time. “Listen,” the students chime in unison, just as the old man in the beret hobbles up the tiny cobblestone passageway that Espeyrac, this hamlet in southern France, calls a street. It’s not easy to upstage Phil Adamo, but this Frenchman’s hound dog doesn’t know any better. The students have forgotten about The Rule of St. Benedict. The traditional French greeting— kiss-kiss-kiss—seems more the order of the day as they hand out eager caresses to this tail-wagging, sweet-talking, show stealer of a dog. They have come here with us to learn plein air drawing and to study the religious experience of medieval France as a paired shortterm study abroad experience, May 14–June 4. Before they return to Minnesota they will make a four-day pilgrimage, visit monasteries, cathedrals, walled towns, museums, and a papal palace to earn two credits and satisfy the critical thinking (CT) and liberal arts foundation (LAF) graduation requirements. Class begins wherever 15 students can listen to the history professor read a passage from a 1500-year-old text on monastic practice, and the art professor read from John Ruskin’s Elements of Drawing in Three Letters to Beginners. Yesterday it was below Le Pont Vieux in Espalion, one of three communities on this pilgrimage with the muchdeserved designation of “les plus beaux villages de France.” The day before it was beside the River Lot in equally picturesque Estaing. My colleague reminds me daily that this collaboration in experiential teaching and learning is work. Each day’s sweat, constant thirst, and aching body parts are real enough. So are the pain of blisters, the weight of packs, and our labored breath as we follow our capable local guide, Laurent Riou, up another steep ascent of mud and rock. Each night we sleep in a new family-run hotel after dining on traditional local fare at long communal tables. We hear little English other than our own as we walk village to village on the centuries-old pilgrimage road, le Chemin de St. Jacques de Compostelle, with pilgrims from around the world. Some will continue the entire summer, across the Pyrenees into northern Spain, 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 25 Class in France begins wherever history professor Phil Adamo finds enough room to gather students and read the day’s passage from The Rule of St. Benedict. and all the way to Santiago in the west, to receive the official pilgrim’s passport and a chance to have their sins forgiven. Some, like us, are walking just a few days. We have many things to teach; what students learn depends on the site visit and their willingness to try. Each keeps a daily sketchbook/journal that integrates personal reflection with history and art assignments. Reading from The Rule of St. Benedict is Phil’s structure for teaching the principles of monastic community, an important aspect of medieval religious practice. Students don’t simply hear about how silence helped monks to listen deeply. They are expected to practice it. They do so, awkwardly at first, for a short time as they enter Église de Perse, the Romanesque chapel of Saint Hilarian, built on the site where the Muslims supposedly beheaded him in the eighth century. Eventually, they practice silence for what seems like an eternity, from sundown to sunup, in preparation for a visit to the monastery, St. Martin du Canigou, perched a half-day’s hike up the foothills of the snow-capped Pyrenees. In the end, they are willingly silent beside the rushing alpine waters of Vernet-les-Bains, embracing experiential learning at its best. My structure for teaching plein air drawing is demonstration and practice, and practice, and practice—the medieval master/apprentice model. Students are expected to draw at least two hours per day. For some this is daunting at first. We stop and draw together wherever the inspiration and pauses of travel make it possible. They learn that this kind of drawing can happen all day, any day. This means that a rest from the midday hiking heat finds these vibrant young people sketching in the shade along the trail. Curious fellow pilgrims pause to enjoy the view and cheer them on. Augsburg’s students are natural goodwill ambassadors. Our pilgrimage ends in Conques, where we receive the pilgrim’s blessing at Abbaye de St. Foye, the patron saint of the blind and the imprisoned, and hear Phil read the gospel of John. We pick up our pace and continue to the restored, walled city of Carcassonne and hear about heretics; take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea at Collioure; and visit the papal palace at Avignon. The last full week of the course is spent in the “city of lights” where we are surprised and thrilled to Art professor Tara Sweeney sketches plein air with student Cassandra Roschen on the outskirts of Sénergues, France. hear students wishing for more pilgrimage and less Paris. So what was France really like? The syllabi promised we’d unravel the mysteries of critical thinking and blind contours, learn how to read history, and make plein air drawings. We walked a very long way together to do all that. But if we can’t tell you the best thing that happened in France it’s probably because it’s still happening. In studying to understand the past, in sketching what remains of it, we have learned to listen, to see deeply, and most importantly, to be fully present. Transformation is like that. Go ahead, ask.

In 75% of these DNA-exoneration cases, the primary evidence leading to their conviction was a witness who identified them as the perpetrator of a crime. Only after development of DNA technology that could positively match evidence to a person—or exonerate that person—did the law enforcement community realize the depth of the eyewitness problem in the legal system. The social impact of a witness identifying the wrong person in a lineup is significant. Not only can it send an innocent person to prison, but it also allows the real criminal to remain uncaught. In the late 1980s, when psychology professor Nancy Steblay began reading the early research describing simple changes in lineup procedures that could reduce the rate of false identifications, she became intrigued. Trained as a behavioral scientist, she saw in this an ideal application of laboratory research and theory. “There’s so much we could add, we could say, about how to understand human memory in the legal process,” says Steblay. What the early psychology research offered, she says, is only probabilistic—laboratory research I Psychology students have created research projects to examine procedures used by law officers in police lineups and to test them in field projects. Student researchers include Psychology professor Nancy Steblay has studied police lineups for more than 15 years and helps students develop research that addresses problems with eyewitness identifications. helps to estimate the likelihood that certain events, like eyewitness fallibility, will occur. What the legal system needs at trial, however, is certainty about a specific case. Did something affect this particular witness’ memory in this particular case? The goal of recent lineup research, says Steblay, is to fix the eyewitness problem before it reaches the courts. “We need to develop the procedures that make certain that memory, like all trace evidence, is not contaminated,” she says. In other words, when a person is on trial for a crime for which he/she has been identified by a witness, the legal system needs to know that this identification is accurate, that the eyewitness evidence is sound.

FA L L 2 0 0 6 2 5 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 Tackling the problem By the late 1990s, the Department of Justice could no longer ignore the fact that increasing numbers of people were being proven innocent after wrongful convictions, even by well-meaning law enforcement officials and eyewitnesses who thought they were doing everything by the book. In 1999, Attorney General Janet Reno brought together early researchers who had been focusing on lineup procedures and produced an in-depth study of their research with recommendations for improving the system. It gave visibility and awareness to the problem and options for improving the protocol. Augsburg’s psychology department did not have a laboratory at that time, so Steblay was unable to carry out any lab research. However, what she 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 28 could do was to produce metaanalyses, or comprehensive reviews and syntheses of all existing research around a particular issue or question that provide a “grand picture.” These studies prove extremely useful for researchers and policy makers studying the questions. In 2001, Steblay’s meta-analysis on sequential vs. simultaneous lineups caught the attention of Gary Wells, an Iowa State psychology professor and pioneer in lineup research, who was trying to encourage lineup reform across the country. What Wells advocated, and Steblay’s meta-analysis confirmed, is that the rate of false identification is lowered when the lineup subjects, usually shown in photos, are presented to the witness one at a time, rather than all at once. There is less tendency for wit- nesses to compare one to the other instead of to their memory of the perpetrator. A further procedural change that Wells recommended was a “double-blind” lineup, where the law officer or person administering the lineup does not know which person, if any, in the lineup is the suspect. When the psychology department gained a small lab, Steblay was able to involve students in her research. As part of the advanced research seminar she taught, students could create spin-offs of her research and could run subjects in the lab. To develop better research capabilities, Steblay needed some tools—a laptop simulation of a crime and a lineup to show lab subjects. The technical concept came from IT staff person Bill Jones, and the material came from film professor Deb Redmond’s video production class. “It became the students’ assignment—to shoot a crime, and then to help me construct the lineup,” says Steblay. “And they did a beautiful job.” Hennepin County attorney Amy Klobuchar (left) and psychology professor Nancy Steblay (right) recently co-authored an article that reports on the success of the Hennepin County lineup project. 26 AUGSBURG NOW Joining with law officers In 2003 Hennepin County in Minnesota initiated a year-long pilot project to test new sequential, double-blind lineup procedures. County attorney Amy Klobuchar spearheaded the study, involving four police jurisdictions—two urban (Minneapolis and Bloomington) and two suburban (Minnetonka and New Hope)—after hearing Wells speak about the need for lineup reform. Steblay joined the pilot project as the data analyst, supported by a two-year grant from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The grant paid for her time to pull and run data from the 280 lineups in the pilot project, and to run several analog laboratory projects testing questions that arose. One such question was “Does it make a difference if a witness goes through the sequential lineup photos more than once?” “Questions came up in the field and we tested them in the laboratory,” Steblay says. “Now I can bring the two together and say, ‘This is how we should run lineups in the field based on what we know now.’” NIJ found Steblay’s project compelling because it united police practice and laboratory research, Steblay says. It was a field study on the cutting edge of national discussions, and no field data had been collected previously. Steblay and Klobuchar were two of the three co-authors for a recent article in the Cardozo Public Law, Policy and Ethics Journal that reported on the success of the Hennepin County project. The authors wrote that “analysis of the data and anecdotal responses from the participating police agencies led to the conclusion that the new protocol is both efficient to implement and effective in reducing the potential for misidentifications.” In a press release issued by the Innocence Project, co-director Barry Scheck called the study 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 “the first to use scientifically valid research techniques to evaluate the eyewitness identification reform in the field—in a ‘real world’ application, rather than an academic setting.” Getting students involved The lineup research has been a great opportunity for students to learn about the research process. Even before a psychology lab existed, students co-authored the meta-analyses with Steblay. With the lab, dozens of students over the years have developed their own research questions as well as aided Steblay with her studies. The NIJ grant added more opportunity. Students helped to produce a more professional laptop video “crime scene,” to run pilots to clarify the instructions, and to make sure the procedures ran accurately. “The benefit of this kind of research is that students can grasp it readily and contribute enormously. Even though the eyewitness research is complex and sometimes confusing in its entirety, at its surface it’s easy to understand what we’re trying to do,” says Steblay. “Students seem to enjoy the connection to the national lineup reform effort, as when I say, ‘Well, we’re doing this in Hennepin County,’ or ‘I went to Chicago and talked about that,’ or ‘the Los Angeles Police Department called me yesterday with this question,’” she says. “They realize this is not just some practice exercise—this really counts.” With the current popularity of television crime shows attracting more students to forensics, Augsburg launched a concentration in psychology and law. Steblay’s psychology and law class has always been popular, and she says that while students start out with forensic clinical interests from TV, the class helps them see the broader range of opportunities. Augsburg is one of the few schools that offers psychology 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 29 and law at the undergraduate level. Steblay feels that the research helps prepare students who may be intimidated by the prospects of graduate school research. “I think they get a sense of, ‘Yes, I can do this,” says Steblay. “Once you get on top of the research, there’s no end to the number of research questions and directions to go.” A good example is 2005 psychology graduate Hannah Dietrich. She was awarded the 2006 Best Undergraduate Paper award from the Psychology-Law Society for her senior honors research project on sex offenders, which began with an internship at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. She’s currently studying for a master’s degree at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Senior psychology major Shannon Ryan, one of 60 students selected to present their Presenting the findings Since the completion of Hennepin County’s pilot project, Steblay has presented the findings at a number of conferences across the country. Her phone has also been ringing more with questions and contacts about the research since publication of the study. She is now completing the final data analysis and report for the NIJ grant, and preparing to train in a new batch of students to start the next generation of research in Augsburg’s “crime” lab. “The people I work with—the homicide investigators, the attorneys—help keep me in touch with how this plays out in the real world, and the kinds of adjustments I need to make in the lab to try to capture that in a better and more authentic way,” Steblay says. “And the students help keep me very much in touch with what a real witness would experience.” Ⅵ research on Capitol Hill, has been part of Nancy Steblay’s research that is supported by a National Institute of Justice grant. Shannon Ryan takes lineups to Washington Shannon Ryan ’07 was among 60 students selected nationally to present their research at the Council on Undergraduate Research’s Posters on the Hill session in Washington, D.C. in April. Ryan’s research examines procedural guidelines for gathering eyewitness evidence in police lineups and how witness memory is affected by lineup structure and format. Her poster, “BlindSequential Police Lineups: A Test of Revised Procedure” compared the number of eyewitness false identifications in two different formats, and was the only poster representing the social sciences. While in Washington, Ryan and Professor Nancy Steblay, her research adviser, visited with U.S. Rep. Martin Sabo and Rep. Betty McCollum to explain the research. Ryan will carry on the lineup research for her senior honors project, and then continue in either a psychology and law or criminal justice graduate program. During the summer, she worked in the McNair program at the University of Minnesota on a project about the over-reporting of voting behavior, with Christopher Uggen, Distinguished McKnight Professor and chair of the sociology department.

Bruce Cunningham ’77 talks about having one additional trick in the bag of medical tricks he offers patients in his practice. Cunningham is a doctor of osteopathic medicine, or DO, and has been practicing in Woodbury, Minn., for 21 years. For the last 12 years he has been a family practice physician at the MinnHealth Clinic. The “trick” he calls on is manipulation, the core of osteopathic medicine. Osteopaths examine the interrelationship and functioning of the body’s musculoskeletal system—nerves, muscles, and bones—to understand disease and its causes. It’s literally a hands-on approach with patients as he physically manipulates or adjusts their D With his left hand, Dr. Bruce Cunningham searches for a lesion in the patient’s back where manipulation will help his condition. 30 AUGSBURG NOW joints, muscles, tendons, etc. that may be injured or impaired. “It’s not for everybody or every problem,” Cunningham says, “but it can be effective in a number of common disorders—backaches, headaches, sleep disorder. It’s a nice tool to be able to pull out.” In his practice, he shares some of his patients with his MD partners—the patients come to him specifically for certain things because he’s an osteopath. “It’s a very good holistic approach to care; many MDs have a similar approach, but very few have the training where they can actually do the manipulations that help people immediately.” “So there are reasons why we’re a bit different,” Cunningham says. “But if someone comes in with appendicitis, I’m going to treat it in exactly the same way as my very capable MD partners.” He says that 80–90% of what he does is “very mainline.” The medical training is essentially the same for both the “allopathic,” or traditional physicians, and osteopathic physicians—four years of medical school, at least three years of residency, and certifying exams administered by different bodies. Osteopathic students have extra study in the musculoskeletal system, including two years of lab work. “You’re learning on other students, and then you’re picking on your family and friends to do some of the manipulation,” he says. “So there’s a better understanding of how the body works and how to interact with it.” Cunningham is a faculty member at the University of Minnesota and two osteopathic colleges— Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM-Bradenton College—and enjoys working with third-year osteopathic students, who must spend eight weeks in rotation to learn primary care. “I teach both allopathic and osteopathic students, and there’s a big difference. … The osteopathic student is always more comfortable touching the patient and getting close, and doing a number of the musculoskeletal exams we have to do.” Cunningham explains that osteopathic physicians are different than chiropractors, who also treat patients with physical manipulation, but are not medical doctors. Chiropractic focus is on the nervous system, while osteopathy trains doctors to look at the body’s functioning in more depth. Osteopathic physicians have not always been accepted as equals in the medical profession. Minnesota did not offer full practice rights to DOs until 1963; the last state to do so was Louisiana, just two years ago. Currently there are about 56,000 osteopaths in the U.S. who make up about six percent of all physicians. In Minnesota that figure is about 300, and they practice across the state, traditionally serving in smaller communities, but now increasingly in large healthcare systems and at Mayo Clinic. Cunningham says that osteopathic medicine is “growing by leaps and bounds,” and that within two or three years, approximately 20% of all medical students will be pursuing osteopathy. Currently they study at 23 osteopathic medical schools, most of which are private institutions. Because they’re not affiliated with large hospitals, osteopathic students tend to travel and spread out more for their rotations. Four additional colleges of osteopathic medicine are actively on the drawing board, says Cunningham, who has served on the national committee that approves new training schools. In Minnesota Cunningham has enjoyed being part of a team of DOs who visit every college in the state once a year to talk to students about osteopathic medicine. “It’s really fun,” he says, because “the idea that you can learn to touch your patients and to take a more natural approach to some of their ailments is very exciting to pre-med students.” 6121_Augsburg_AugsburgNow-Fall 06 Osteopaths can pursue any specialty, although most are in family practice. Cunningham says that research is becoming an important new endeavor in osteopathy. “I’ve just had a student who finished his PhD while he was on rotation with me and he’s doing oncology research, some really exciting work in it.” The choice between traditional medical programs and osteopathy must be a personal one for the student, Cunningham says. First they have to know they have a choice, and then some will go the osteopathic route as they become excited by the approach osteopathy offers to concentrate on treating the person and not just the disease. Cunningham’s own vocational route was not so direct. When he was not accepted at first into medical school, he took graduate 9/12/06 10:25 AM Page 33 courses at the University of Minnesota and worked in a hospital. After trying a year at law school, it was a fellow classmate, John Ronning ’77, now a physician in St. Cloud, who suggested osteopathy. When Cunningham learned more about it, he applied, and went on to Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He says he owes a lot to the profession, since it was while on his internship in Grand Rapids, Mich., where he met his wife. He has served twice as president of the Minnesota Osteopathic Medical Society, and has been active on committees within the profession, including the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners. Cunningham credits Augsburg with a good preparation for leadership and service. He attended col- lege as a commuter student to save money, but was welcomed by the residents and even kept a sleeping bag in the corner. He served as student body vice president, and remains best friends with Ron Robinson, who was president. “The student leadership and the opportunities Augsburg gave me to be in that role were really great testing grounds for what I’ve gone on to accomplish in medicine,” Cunningham says. He encourages all students to take advantage of leadership opportunities during their college years. Cunningham says he loves being involved in the politics of medicine. This should keep him active as osteopathic medicine keeps growing and offers additional tricks in the doctor’s bag for health and wellness. Ⅵ For over 20 years Dr. Bruce Cunningham ’77 has brought the additional perspectives from osteopathic medicine to his clinical practice.

A-UGSBURG NOW 5 Sports Auggie hockey player takes body checks to a new level byDonStoner ugsbu rg College men's hockey forward Jaro Cesky isn't known as an overly physica l player on the ice. But in August , the Auggie senio r used the physical part of his hockey training in a much different- and heroic- way. Cesky, a native of Prague , Czech Republic , helped to subdue an attacker who had set off exp losives in a crowded subway station and killed a police officer. For his efforts, he earn ed national atten tion in the Czech Repub lic and was widely regarded as a hero . But Cesky is quick to denect any praise for his efforts, saying he wou ld do the same all over again . "People were asking me if l felt like I was a hero, but I didn 't want to hear that because a cop died , and l didn 't want to get noticed because of somebodys death ," Cesky said. "I told people if something like this would happe n again , or if it wou ld happen here [in Minnesota!, I wou ld do exactly the same thin g." Cesky, who has lived and studi ed in America for the last four years, return ed to A co ps next to me, ju st watching thi s hap pen . l told them, 'You have guns , why don't you go in there and get him ?' " Unlike television shows Cesky had seen in America , where police officers rou tin ely pull their weapo ns to stop suspects, the officers in this situation were prohibited from using their firearms in the subw ay station due to local regulations, accor din g to publish ed report s. As a subwa y car pull ed into the station , Cesky yelled to the passengers to remain on the train. He turn ed to see the male officer stru ggling with the attacker. "l saw the cop on the ground , and he end ed up with the knife in him . He was stabbed ," Cesky said. The officer died instantly. The second officer, a female, ran to the attacke r and tried to subdue him with her nightstick. As the larger assailant fought back , Cesky sprinted forward and body-checked him to the pavement . "I went in and thr ew him on the ground ," Cesky said. "He got back up and had a plastic tub e in his hand , pointing it "I t old people if something like this would happen again, or if it would happen here [in Minnesota], I would do exactly the same thing ." Prague in August to visit his family. His second day there, whi le waiting for friends at a subway statio n to celebra te his 24th birthday, he heard an exp losion rock the train statio n , filled wit h peop le going home at the end of the day. At first, he thoug ht it was someone setting off fireworks in th e trai n sta tion , the second-busi est in the city. Instea d , it was a 53-yea r-old Russian immi gra nt throwing makes hift exp losives at the train tracks. As the Friday night crowd panicked and ned the train stat ion, the Russian began to attack an elderly bystander wit h a knife attached to a long stick. "I saw the man on his knees and th e other man was attacking him ," Cesky said. "I saw two 6 A-UGSBURGNOW at her face. He stepp ed closer to me and it looke d like he wanted to commit suicide , he was jabbing th e tub e at his own head ." Officers later told Cesky that the tub e was anoth er hom emade exp losive, and that it apparent ly had enoug h dyna mite in it to possibly level the train station . "When he punched him self with th e tub e a second time , I jump ed on him from behind again and thr ew him on the grou nd ," Cesky said . "I sat on him , held him down and I pu shed the tub e away from his hands. The co p came over and we put the handc uffs on him ." Hittin g someone the way Cesky did wou ld have earned him a trip to the penalty box in hockey for checking from behind , but in thi s instance, the hockey player was a hero who likely helped to save countl ess lives. For his efforts , Cesky was honore d by the interio r minister. The nation 's president invited him to meet on Czech Jaro Cesky '03 ind epend ence day, Oct. 28-a meeting at whic h his parents represented him , since Cesky had to return to classes . Cesky came to America to play juniorlevel hockey in Dubuqu e, Iowa. Augsburg coach Mike Schwartz recruited him to Augsburg , wher e he joined another Europ ean player, Slovakia n Martin Hlinka , who graduated and now serves as an Augsburg assistant coach. "He's probably the most exciting player in the league ," Schwartz said of the team 's top line center. "Every time he gets the puck , everybody sits at th e edge of their seats, waiting to see what he's going to do." An international business major, Cesky said he'd like to play professional hockey after he gradua tes from Augsburg , and then travel and explore the world . With the experience gained from his recent heroic efforts, Cesky has learne d about the fragility of life. ''You never know whats going to happ en ," Cesky said. "I used the Metro [subw ay] every day for my tran sportation , and l had to use it the next day [after the attack) . I was looking all around that station , seeing who was around me. I always thought this cou ld happ en in the United States , but not in Prague. Now, you never know." Don Stoner is sports information coordinator. Winter 2002-03 Chapeltalk Sent into the world as a mask of God November 20, 2002 • Text: John 17:14-19 I l was Jesus who said we are "sent into th e wo rld " (John 17: 18). I do n't think we have gras ped th e sign ificance o f his wo rds and th e idea th at our wo rk, our voca tion in th e wo rld is a way of servin g th e creator God . If we shou ld ask most Christians what th ey do to fulfill th eir calling th ey may say, "I teach Sun day schoo l, I sing in the choir, I have served many chur ch dinn ers." But have you ever heard someon e say, "I am called to be a schoo l bu s dri ver. God is concern ed abou t th e safety of his childr en ; I am called to be a teacher and do my best to help children grow to maturit y; I am called to be a lawye r concern ed about ju stice." The Chu rch is meant to be not a fortress to which we retreat, but a laun ching pad, thrustin g us int o th e wo rld . Lu th er understoo d the wo rds o f Jesus that we are sent int o th e wo rld . He writ es, "Wh at is our wo rk in field and garden , in tow n and house, in baul ing and in rulin g, to God , but the wo rk of his chi ldr en? Ou r wo rks are God's mask, behin d which IGodl remains h idd en , although !God] does all thin gs."

Some will wo rk prim arily in a physical way, oth ers will wo rk im ellectu ally. Some will be artists, sciemi sts, bu siness people, and pro fessionals .... In th e eyes of God none is beu er th an th e other is." Augsbur g College understand s th e wo rds of Jesus th at "we are sem im o th e wo rld ."

Since th en , however , int erest from institutions across th e countr y has grown so mu ch as to fill CGE's travel semin ar schedul e thi s year an d al leas t two of th e stud y abroad cour ses . Waitin g lists are in place, and CGE staff are wo rkin g on pro gra ms two and thr ee years ahead . Rather than ret reatin g from foreign travel, Americans have demon strated a desi re to learn more abo ut int ernation al cu lture s, religio ns, and issues. A recent publi c opi nion p oll by the American Coun cil on Education , measurin g auitud es about interna tional edu cation before and after Sep temb er 11, showe d that interes t in int ernation al issues has not only been sustain ed, but has actuall y increased in some areas , such as foreign languag e learnin g. In addition , CGE sta ff say th at college students increasingly expect stud y abroad opportu nities as pan o f th eir college edu cation , and take thi s int o consideration when makin g college choices . For Orva l Gingeric h , assoc iate dean for int ernationa l program s and dir ecto r of th e Center for Globa l Edu cation , all of thi s affirms the work th at CGE has don e for 20 years . In th e fall 2001 issue of th eir news leu er, Global News and Notes, he wro te of his "realization th at th e mission and pro gram of th e Cent er for Globa l Edu cation are even more sign ificant and pertin ent th an they were before the au ack ." What is need ed , he said , is for Americans lo respond to the Winter 2002-03 CGE director Orval Gingerich welcomes guests at CGE's 20th anniversary celebration . new war against terrori sm "from an informed and reaso ned perspective," rath er than blindl y responding in ways that lend to become more and mor e like th e terrori st actions being answered . LEARNING from and with PEOPLE Travel arranged by the Cent er for Globa l Education is not like tourist travel, but offers experie nces that encour age participants to become inform ed and engaged during th e trip as well as after returning home. "IL is learni ng from and with peop le, instead of look ing and enjoying ," Gingerich to ld the Augsb urg Echo in a December art icle. 600+ Participam s become immersed in local 9,00 0+ cultur e- they meet peopl e 200 in their communi ties, hear a variety of viewpoint s on issues affectin g th e local 513 commun ity, and reflect 78 abou t the impact on th e larger globa l commu nity. 26 After returning hom e, 177 the y are encouraged to share th eir experiences with oth ers and to beco me involved in issues of socia l ju Lice. Whil e most kind s o f travel o ffer a "macro" loo k al a count ry, look ing al it from out side in , Gingerich feels thi s is insufficient. Hearing from th e local peo ple themselves-th e hean of a CGE exp erience-pr esent s a "micro " view as well, looking from the inside out. Regina McGo ff, assoc iate dir ecto r of the Cent er for Global Education , has also received affirmation o f CGE's prog ram . Durin g school visits to the Pacific No nhw est last fall, one imerna tiona l edu cation admini strato r told her that CGE is exac tly th e kind of stu dy abroad they seek for their stud ents. "We're helping th eir stud ent s learn about real-world issues," said McGo ff. 'Th ey're not isolated on college campu ses , but th ey're geui ng to see th e world from a Im of differem perspectives.

During the 1980s and early 1990s , man y travel semin ars focused on confronting the issues of civil and religious wars in Cent ral America. Now, the focus shifts to the violence of economics, wrote Mavis Anderson, who led mo re than 75 travel seminars in her 19 years with CGE. In the spring 2002 issue of GlobalNews and Notes, she writes that globalization is creating bo rders that are no longer defined geogra phically, bu t in terms of power and wealth.

Not for the same fun-in-th e-sun vacation as man y of their co-wo rkers have enjoyed at that time of year, but to take a religion course, The Church and Social Change in Latin America. The vision of Rick Thoni, then Weekend College director and current director of the Augsburg Roch ester program , and Joel Mugge, director of the Center for Global Education , this course was designed to provide a study abroad opponunity for the increasing numb ers of stud ents in Weekend College- wo rking adu lts for whom the option of stud ying abroad for a semester was not possible. The course was designed as an au ractive option to fulfill Augsburgs requirement for a religion course . But, Thoni and Mugge knew that stud ents would also be deeply affected by the experience. "We knew the power of this kind of stud y opp onunit y, given our e>.-pe rience with day school stud ents and adult travel groups ," said Thoni. "We were pleased that the reactions of the first groups of students confirmed our belief that they would find this l)'Pe of travel/stud y expe rience 'transformin g'." The course begins on the Augsburg campu s with two or three orientation sessions , centering around the theme of liberation theology and how it has profoundly impacted the social and religious fabric of society in E Winter 2002-03 Each year a group of Augsburg's weekend adult students spends a week in Cuernavaca , Mexico completing a religion course a nd learning first-hand about Mexico 's culture-here, a lesson in Aztec history at the ruins of Xochicalco. Latin America. Stud ents also get general historical information and practical help with travel planning . Their Cuernavaca home for the week is Casa CEMAL, the Center for Global Education stud y center, permanent ly staffed by American and Mexican personn el. The week is carefully planned with lectures, ,~sits, e>.-p loration in the city, and time for both indi,~dua l and group reflection . Each day, local resource people lecture about history, politics, and social issues of Mexico and the region . Visits range from the Aztec ruins of Xochicalco to a Benedictine convent to hear the story of the Virgin of Guadalup e. In the indigenous ,~llage of Tepotzlan , stud ent s meet with memb ers of a wome ns coop erative that success fully thwarted efforts to usurp their cropl and s for a go lf course. Another day, the group meets with Cuernavaca city officials to hear very differing perspectiv es-in som e cases , oppo sing sides of issues already discussed. Much of the real imp act of th e trip comes from the personal stori es and the oppo rtuniti es to share in the lives of local residents . Students ,~sit a Base Chri stian Community meeting , one of man y small, neighb orhood groups that grew out of th e liberation th eology mo vemen t and give peop le opp ort uniti es to act in commun ity and voice th eir needs . The resources and experti se of th e CGE Mexico staff make it possib le for stud ents to visit ,vith people and mak e contacts that relate to their work back home . The January 2002 class, made up of 13 Weekend College students and five day stud ents, included five nur ses from Augsburgs Rochester program . While in Cuerna vaca, the nursing stud ents ,~sited local hospitals and learn ed about programs in alternative medicine. Oth er students , som e of whom work at large corporations in the Twin Cities, learned first-hand about business issues with local perspectives. While the goal of the trip is to increase cross-cultural und erstand ing, a benefit in this particular group was the opp ortunity for the mixed group of adu lt and day stud ents to get to know each oth er and share experiences, 5a)'S Jeni Falkman '02 , one of the day school participants and curr entl y the Lilly grant int ern at CGE. Du ring reflective sessions, th eir differing pers pectives of age and life experience contribut ed to different ways of und erstan ding the cultural issues. Ju st as Th oni and Mugge had kn own , stud ent s return deeply affected by th e expen ence. Rochester nur sing gradu ate Diane Fieseler wrot e, "l mu st say th at th e lexico trip greatly changed my life and expand ed my world view. It has changed th e way I ,~cw my own co mmunit y and has changed the way I ,~ew myself in th e communit y." Back hom e, wh en she began helpin g a migrant Hispanic wom an with medical care, Fieseler said , "From the IVl exico trip , I learn ed the imp ortance of religion and family and incorpor ated th ose aspects in my teachin g plan for th e woman." Its j ust like the wo rds stu dent s read from th eologian Jon Sobrin o, "Let the peopl e of Latin America keep movin g you wh en you return ." A UGSBURG NOW 11 Faculty members (L to R) Bev Stratton, relig ion , and Sharon Patten , social work , and others studied in Namibia last summer , taking time out here to meet in a W indhoek , Namibia , restaurant with CGE-Namibia staff Simon Afrikaaner and Urbanus Dax. "Sudde nly issues that had been prim arily political, ideological, or military in nature took on the shape of hum an faces that defied easy definitions and neat classification ." Tailored TRAVEL EXPERIENCES CGE can tailor travel for a panicular area of study, a particular purpose, or for a specific group. Stud y top ics range [rom human rights , chur ch , and social issues to the study of birds and environme ntal stewa rdship in Nicaragua . Several businesses , including a Rutland , Vt., manufacturing comp any, have offered company-paid , cross-cult ural experiences to their emp loyees to foster responsible globa l citizenship . An expanding oppo rtunit y for the Center for Global Education has been travel for faculty and staff developm ent . Last summer, Augsburg received a $55,0 00 Fulbright- Hays Group Projects Abroad 12 A-UGSBURGNOW Program grant to send 12 faculty from various academi c disciplines lo Nam ibia for a five-week stud y seminar. Namibia program coordinators Phoebe Milliken and Urbanus Dax were able to conn ect them with educa tiona l, religious, and governm ent leaders to learn how to integrat e in[orm ation about south ern African issues into their teaching at Augsburg. 'Th e people we met, the stories they told, and the informa tion they shared have become both anecdo tes and extend ed pieces in the cour ses of the seminar particip ants," said Bruce Reichenbach, Augsburg phil osop hy pro[essor and Namibia seminar project director. ''Without Phoebe's and Urbanus 's connections and persistent prodding , we wou ld never have reached the depth of understanding necessary to make a difference in our thinking and in ou r classes." Last fall, Gingerich and several o[ the faculty members presented their experiences to the Association [or Luth eran College Facu lty al their conference. Last year, CGE also worked with Seanle University to plan a developm ent imm ersion semin ar in Nicaragua for its presid ent, provost , and board of tru stees to help them exp lore the implementation of social j ustice issues throu ghout the college curriculum . CGE arranged for them to meet with faculty at Central American University, a sister Jesuit institution . Seattle University law professor Ronald Slye wrote, " ... I was initially a bit skeptical about the utility of participating in this trip . Thank you for ... showing to me (and the rest of our delegation ) that there is a way to do these trips that engages both the visitors and the residents of the country visited, and that creates the groundwork for shared understanding and commitment across two distinct , but inevitably intertwined , cultures ." LEARNING by seeing, hearing, and doing Joel Mugge, who came to Augsburg with expe rience in leading immersion programs [or youth in Mexico, founded the Center for Global Education in 1982 . Over the years, he led staff in developing the vision for a learning style in international experiential education that has become a national model. In CGE's pedagogy, based on the ed ucational principle s of Brazilian theologian and educator Paolo Freire, stud ents learn in a cycle of three phases . Initiall y, they have direct experience in the local commun ity, listening to the voices of people talking about their own experiences. Then , informed by readings and analytical material s, the y re0ect on what they saw, heard , and experienced. Participants in a Center for Global Education travel seminar hiked and boated through Nicaragua while learning about environmental stewardship. Winter 2002-03 Lastly, together with the travel group , issues are discussed and reactions shared , informing each other about different perceptions and form ulating actions to carry fonh . In this kind of learning communit y, faculty and stud ents are co-learners. Life-changing EXPERIENCE Unlik e th e observational natur e of touri st travel, th e direct experience of a CGE travel pro gram leaves few people un affected or unch ange d . CGE frequ ent ly receives comm ent s sim ilar to th e stud ent who wrote, 'Thi s program represent s a turnin g point in my life. Th e people we met and th e experien ces we had all combin ed to create a change wit hin me that I cou ldn 't have antic ipated and I'm not willing 10 forget. " The numb er o f people invo lved in CGE pro gra ms is significant. Since 1982 , more than 9 ,000 peop le have participat ed in the 600 -plu s CGE semin ars Lo 40 countries , and more than 1,000 stud ent s have particip ated in stud y abro ad semesters. A national LEADER lts ironic that while the Cent er for Global Education is widely recognized as a national leader in internation al ex'])erienlial educat ion , it remains somewhat of a wellkept secret on Augsburgs campu s. Gingerich , who came Lo Augsburg in 2001 from Eastern Menn onite University in Harri sonburg , Va., mention s himself as a good examp le of someone who was not familiar with Augsburg College, but who knew and highly respected the wo rk of the Center for Global Education . CGE staff, includin g the adjun ct faculty in the three centers abroad , are freque nt speakers and resou rces al national con ferences on cross-cultural communication and internation al exper ientia l edu cation . In the 2001-02 academic year, seven CGE staff members mad e 18 presentations at conferences and Winter 2002-03 events for international and expe riential edu cation organizations , Lutheran chur ch conferences, faculty wo rkshops, and meetings of Latin American edu cation leaders.

As program s and destination s are CGE'S third decade added , the curricu lum may change, but the fundamental miss ion of CGE remains the same. Augsburg stud ent Nat Jungerberg , who studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico, expressed it succinct ly in an article he wrote for Augsburg Echo: "Everything mailers, from whom I vote for Lo represent me to where I spend my dollar. It's much easier to be cynical and say, 'What I do do esn't matter ,' but its far more respon sible to become a globa l citizen and acLlike it does ."

CGEs pan of that vision includes sponso ring courses und er the Lilly grant "Ex'Plorin g Our Gifts" that infuse reflection on vocation as part of the curriculum for stud y and travel abroad. It also includes integration of CGE courses into the new Augsbur g Core Curricu lum being implemented in the next academic year. Recent additi ons to CGEs program s have included several travel seminars and shon-t erm cou rses in Cuba , an area now accessible to Americans for educationa l purp oses. Last year four travel seminars studi ed aspects of Cub an society and social issues, with programming help from the Manin Luther King Memorial Center in Havana. Former CGE staffer Mavis Anderson, who no w work s for the Augsburg students Sara Thedinga '01 and Kellen Latin American Working Group on Bredesen '03 studied social and political issues in Cub a Policy in Washington , D.C., Cuba for a journalism class in spring 2001 .

Ca pit alizing on th ese will expand our enrollment- and chat will requir e growt h in our en dowm ent, in th e availability of schol arship s, and in che co ntinuing imp roveme nt of our instruction al facilities. W hile many inscirution s are questionin g the relevance of their traditi onal commiunents, Augsburg Co Uege has revitalized its identity as a chur ch-related co llege and has deepened its dedi cation to che leadin g prin ciples of ics founding. For exam ple, our faculty enthu siast ically adopted chis past fall a co re general edu cation pro gram chat is shaped by Mart in Luther 's idea of vocatio n. Built into the curri culum is explor ation of th e centr al qu estion s of C hr istia n faith , search for meanin g, and experient ial as well as theoreti c lear nin g in th e cont ext of th e d iverse co mmunity around us. In additi on to improvin g our curri culum , Augsb urg is empl oying a new commitm ent to hospitality to make the campus co mmuni ty mor e welcomin g, especially to co mmutin g stud ents in Weeke nd Co llege and ocher prog rams. In a brightly refurbished main lobby of C hristen sen Center we can now be greeted at an inform ation cente r, gathe r over coffee within easy reach of com puter s and printers , and enjoy art in a dramatic , new gallery. You played the de cisive role in anot her notewo rth y Augsbur g accom plishment. Durin g this past fiscal year, ending May 3 1, 2002, we exceeded our goa l for gifts to T he Augsburg Fund. T he significance of d1e $804, 000 in unr estr icted gifts co ntribut ed by alu mni , parencs, friends , and co rporate and found ation partner s is best revealed by the fact d1at we were receiving less than $200 ,000 of such fund s when Ann e and I came to Augsbur g in 199 7 . A great deal of this growt h has come from new memb ers of our Maroon & Silver Society, who are instrum ental in providin g finan cial aid to cur rent stud ent s. Wit h your co ntinuin g help, we will expect co proclaim thi s um mer that we exceeded our curr ent goa l of $ 1 millio n for T he Augsburg Fund! Finally, last year we received th e largest foundation gift in our history-$2 million from th e Lilly Found ation co be used over five years to bro aden the role of C hri stian vocat ion in both our curri cu lar and extra-curricul ar life, and to deepen che interest of our scudencs in che clerical prof ession s. Already, che grant has encouraged research , chin king, an d pub licat ions among co lleagues chat are attr acting national att enti o n to th e Co llege from che edu cation ind ustry and from the hur ch. Even amid st a year th at saw turmoil in d1e world and che economy , we celebrate th e thousa nd of you who graced us with your gifts. They make it possible for talent ed stud ent s to atte nd and share in the Augsburg vision of a tran form ative ed ucation in the con texts of th e C hristia n faith , th e city, and int ention al d iversity.

Whatever is said about fine arts, the stories and profiles in this issue offer yor,r a gllmpse of their role and importance at Augsburg. Students who study and particÌpate in music, theatre, and art have the many and marvelous resources oI a rich, artistic urban environment at their doorstep. Augsburg students study with professional actors and musicians, visit world-class museums, and enjoy internships with professional arts organizations. Students who are not majoring in the arts are welcomed and encouraged to explore their talents and express creativity in many ways. The arts truly educate for a lifetime. Students involved in a theatre production carry the experience of that play with them for the rest of their lÌves, much in the same way that students who play in orchestra during college feel more connected to a symphony orchestra when attending concerts. The vocabulary of the arts enriches our lives in innumerable ways great and small, giving us appreciation and understanding for new language, image, and sound. Ours is not a cloistered faculty, and everyone who teaches here in fine arts is also out in the community engaged in professional performance or exhibition. This enables them to provide the kind of mentoring that helps students develop their talents and makes the real-world connections they need, while encouraging and supporting their "ii"i development. As the nature of an Augsburg education becomes r¡ore interdisciplinary. students experience arts integrated into many of their courses and actÌvities. And, our new multin-redia computer lab will be a place for students to stretch their imagination, to explore the latest technology across the arts, and I to equip themselves to meet new marketplace demands. Studying the arts is also integral to "Exploring Our Gifts," Augsburg's program funded by the Lilly Endowment to encourage exploration of vocation. A new course, "Art, Religion, and Vocation" will help students understand and appreciate the qualities of creativì.t¡ sensitì.vity, and awareness that arts can help develop and that will aid them in searching for an understanding of elcome to this first ¡heme issue of the Arrgsburg Now. From titnc to time, we will present an in-depth view of a partÌcular area of Augsbr-rrg College and its education. In this issue, you'11 explore the line arts at Augsburg, as we open up to you the world of muslc, art, and theatre at the College. Since we believe that Alrgsburg's story cannot be told better than through the stories o[ its students, facr-rlty, and alumni, we introduce you to a number of these talented people in this issue. We begin, however, with an overview of Augsburg's fine arts program and its curriculum. Enjoy-we hope it may move you to pick up your own paintbrush or musical instrument for a time, or simply to appreciate the arts around you by seeing and listening just a little bit differently WW Betsey Norgard Edltor PS. As always, we'd love to hear from you about your thoughts on AugsburgNow. vocation. So, I invite you to take your AugsburgNow io a comfortable spot, ttlrn on some music, and enjoy reading about arts at Augsburg, while perhaps reminiscing about your own moments on stage, in the choir, or at an easel.

Paul-based Musrctech College ol Ðvus¡. and Recording Arrs and Augsburg have announced a new collaborative arrangement enabling Musictech students enrolled in its music performance programs to transfer their two years of Musictech credits directly to Augsburg and cornplete a four-year bachelor's program in music. "Many music students, and theÌr parents, have wanted to complete a fouryear bachelor's degree at our two-year school-yet most traditional academic settings don't provide the real-world contemporary music education and stateof-the-art studios that Musictech provÌdes," notes Doug Smith, co-founder and vice presÌdent/education director of Musictech College. "Musictech and Augsburg's arrangement is the best of both worlds," explains Smith. "For example, a Musictech studenl can no]M specialize in music performance for two years here in St. Paul, and then transfer to Augsburg to complete the final two years of a fouryear degree in music education and become a high school band leader." "Our new relatÌonship with Musictech College is a boon for Augsburg's students," adds Robert Stacke, Augsburg music department chair and s. Augsburg Dean Chris Kimball (left) and Musictech co-founder and vice presidenUeducation director Doug Smith (second from left) together toured the music labs and observed a class at Musictech College, where a new agreement allows their students to transfer credits to Augsburg. director of bands. "Augsburg offers Musictech students its excellence in music education, music therap¡ and performance, while Musictech provldes its remarkable faculty of working musicians and its expertise in such areas as music business, in-studio recording engineering and production, and improvisation." Augsburg and Musictech have also established a scholarship fund for students who enroll at Musictech Coliege with the lntention of transferring to Augsburg. Musictech College, which opened its $3.6 million school in St. Paul last January, has more than 250 students learning guitar, bass, keyboards, voice, percussion, brass, and woodwinds; motion imaging; as well as recording technology, music production, and the music business. Augsburg has more than 350 students who take music classes or perform in musical ensembles. 2OO2-03 CONVOCATION SERI ES: Truth, Reconciliatioh, and Forgiveness The third annual Convocalion Series, I titled "Truth, ReconciliaLion, and Forgiveness" explores Lhe emergi ng Oct. 8, 2002 Julia Butterfly H111, environmental activist, "C)ne Makes the Dlfference" dialogue that focuses on telling the truth about the past, reconciling prevrous enemies, and granting forgiveness.

Fall 2O02 4ucsnunc rrrow 15 PASSION Tära Christopherson approaches art as a lile sport. Like a good coach, she helps her students, rnanlr 6f whom are not art majors, overcome fears they bring to class, find abilities they may not know they have, and achieve something that will sen'e them and give them pleasure. Christopherson's watercolor painting class ls a case in point. She begrns by asking students when they last took an art course. For some, it was elementary school. With small class sizes, Christopherson is able to demonstrate techniques and then work individually with each student to see if they can do it, understand it, and apply it. But it's still up to them. "The truth Ìs, no matter what leve1 you're at, you still have to show up and paint. And the extent to which you're willing to suspend disbelief and pick up a brush and brave the empty page determines what happens more than I do," she says. What students take with them is a discovery of how pleasurable it is to mix colors, which can help them make choices in theÌr personal lives, from clothing to house colors. I FOR WORD AND IMACE u L Art professor Tara Christopherson demonstrates techniques for making paper and book forms Christopherson finds it exciting to see students realize that "there is room lor dlscovery in what art can do for you and how you can make art that is separate from our consumer culture." Christopherson's Fiber and Form class illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of Augsburgs education. Students learn to make paper by hand, to make a book form, and then to write the text and create the imagery for it. "Word and image are inseparable to me," says Christopherson. "They integrate two parts of the brain that the education system tries to keep separate ... I began working in book form because I have a passion for both word and image, and I teach from that passion." Students work in collaboration on their book forms, and Christopherson says that if she's dolng her work right, by the end of the semester sheb just waLching. Sometimes students are amazed at what Tara Christopherson's watercolorr "Rayon du Soleil," appeared on the back cover of the fune/fuly issue of The Gardener magazine 16 ,4ucs¡unc ruow by Betsey Norgard happens. One student told Christopherson that this was the first time she felt she was making art with her whole person because she could integrate both her art and wdting skills. Two years ago, Christopherson joined with French professor Pary Pezechkian to lead an Interim travel course to France. Students studied six French master painters in their own milieus and created cultural collages of words and art ìn the form of artist books. The course came about because Chrisopherson audìted a French course for her own personal improvement and began brainstorming with Pezechkian. (See story in Augsburg Now, Spring 2001.) "The way we're interconnected for interdisciplinary opportunities is a real strength," says Christopherson. "The interdisciplinary connection is an adventure for students." This past January Christopherson retumed to France with eight students to study watercolor techniques. In her own professional life, Christopherson is transforming herself from a longtime graphic artist to a visual artist workng in watercolors, and finds that her skills serve her well. "I have to use the same marketing skills to establish myself as a fine arts presence and to get my work to reach the right audience, and price it, and write press releases," she says. And, when her bright watercolor of summer flowers appears on the back cover of a gardening magazine, she knows it's worhng. Fall 2002 f S PUTTI N' O N TH E ob Stacke '7I , chair of the music department, says that some professors get an endowed chair after tÌme at an insiitution. But he got a bench-a park bench, as a matter of fact. Just outside Music Hall stands a bench inscribed, "Dedicated to Dr. Robert Stacke, Graduating Class of 2002." "It's my crowning accomplishment," Stacke said with a smile. "It meant so much to me that my students would do something like that. They're always talking about meeting me in my'outdoor' office because I like to sit outside and talk to people. So, they created my very own 'meeting' bench for me." Stacke's life has come full circle since he first became aware of Augsburg and made a decision to attend when he was only an eighth grader. That year he played percussion in the Twin Cities Youth B Symphony. "Our guest performer was Augsburg professor Jim Johnson, who was the piano teacher at the College. He performed "Rhapsody in Blue," and I was so impressed with him and his playing that I decided then and there that I wanted to go to Augsburg." o a Z q During his Augsburg student years, Stacke started on one o[ two paths he has since followed in the music world-music performance. In addition to playing in jazz and blues ensembles in local clubs, he served as an "extra" for the Minnesota Orchestra's percussion section and played in the Skeets (Langley) Trio, a job that paid his way through school. "Skeets was a world-class accordionist. I did percussion, and Stan Freese, now musical director at Disneyland in California, was on tuba," Stacke recalled. "We were in demand all the time, performed for two presidents, and everyr;vhere from conventions to circuses to demolition derbies. It was a fantastic experience." His jazz playing led to his joining with fellow students to form Augsburg's jazz program-one in which students wrote and arranged most of their own music. It's a skill he shares today with members of the current Augsburg Jazz Band, a much sought-after ensemble in many of the same places Stacke himself played 35 years ago. (Venezueia) Symphony, Stacke embarked on the other path in his life. In 1990, he jumped at the chance to return to his alma mater to become the band director while finishing his Ph.D. "When I got here I found a concert band with just 1B members," he said. "Needless to sa¡ my first priority became rebuilding the band. Music professor Bob Stacke sits on his "meeting benchr" a gift from the 2002 graduating music seniors.

Now, not only does she design and sew clothes for Augsburg theatre productions, but for Chanhassen Dinner Theatre as well. Schulte has been part-time costume designer at Augsburg for l7 years and fuil-time designer at Chanhassen for 30 years. However, Schulte didn't start out wanting to be a costume designer. She attended the University of Minnesota to become a geneticist. But after being asked to be in a play her freshman year, the theatre bug bit her and "it never went away." While in school she worked at Northwestern Costume in Minneapolis as an assistant to the designer to help pay her way through college. Schulte has her 8.4., 8.S., and M.FA. degrees from the University of Minnesota. At first she wanted to direct, and has also done some acting, playing mostly children's parts because of her small stature. But after playing the role of Helen Keller when she was 27 years old, she thought she needed to do something different and took a job in summer stock theatre as a costume designer. Occasionally she got to act, which felt like a vacation, she said. After that came a call from Chanhassen Dinner Theatre asking if she Augsburg costume designer Sandra Schulte brings 30 years of theatre experience to Augsburg's students, as she helps them design their own costumes. involvement with the theatre department doesn't stop there. She lectures in the technical design, directing, and acting classes, and she participates with the director and set designer in seminars held the week after a show opens. These seminars are designed to show the students how to accomplish the director's vision of a particular show through costume and set design. Schulte also works with theatre students in small work-study groups sewing costumes, including their own- "l can tell a student what's poss¡ble and not possible and what it's Iike in the real world of theatre, even though somet¡mes it's not what they want to hear." would be interested in working as a costume designer. At that time the Chanhassen theatre was just "bare bones." Now, she adds, they have four huge costume rooms. Because there is no costume design class at Augsburg, Schulte works just part time, designing and sewing costumes for all of its productions. However, her 18 4ucsnunc ruow something she hopes gives them a feeling of accomplishment and pride. They also use the opportunity to talk about different aspects of costuming for a production and how costumes can help develop a character. With her professional experience, Schulte believes she brings to her students a look at theatre from a practical aspect, rather than an academic perspective. "I can tell a student what's possible and not possible and what it's like in the real world of theatre, even though sometimes it's not what they want to hear." She said she enjoys working at Augsburg because she can design costumes for classic productions, which she doesn't do at Chanhassen. Plus she can use more subtleties in her designs to further help develop a theme. Students from Augsburg have also been able to work with Schulte at Chanhassen. "It's quite a coup for the College," she notes, that so many of Augsburg's theatre students are working in some aspect of theatre somewhere. She attributes this success to Augsburg's emphasis on studying the entire process of theatrical production. "The teachers and directors are so steeped in their craft and literature that the students get a well-rounded education in theatre." Right now Schulte is busy designing costumes for Camelot, which opens in October at Chanhassen, and she will soon begin work on costumes for Augsburg's fall production, Macbeth.

He says that artists never get bored, and he has stayed connected to Augsburg by teaching calligraphy and glass knapping classes through the College of the Third Age. But sitting in an ivory tower is not how Thompson spent his 41 years at Augsburg, either. Whether unearthing the wealth of treasures from the past on campus, or reaching beyond the borders of the College with his students, he showed them that there is more to a coilege education than sitting behind a desk. "Departments have an obligation to partake in the larger affairs, rather than isolate themselves," Thompson says. "There ls a time for that, but one must learn how to balance the two." Thompson, born in Bismarck, N.D., received his B.A. from Concordia CollegeMoorhead and his M.EA. in studio art from the University of lowa. He came to Augsburg in 1959. At that time there was no art department, and only a few art classes were offered through the home economics department. Thompson was instrumental in the formation of the art by fudy Petree department, and the mid '60s saw the hiring of the art faculty at which time art was added as a major. Being at Augsburg College, in the heart of the Twin Cities, has been an important part of Thompson's work, both on and off campus. "This is a tremendous haven for teaching art, and being anchored in a community with lots of interaction is healthy. lt's important to stretch across neighborhood borders. " In the late 1960s, Thompson and his students "stretched" all the way to northern Minnesota, north of Grand Rapids, where they found a challenging art project. The Russian Orthodox Church o[ St. Peter and St. Paul in Bramble, Minn., with its onion dome, was completed in 1918 and fell into disuse during the 1940s. In 1967, led by a clergl.rnan from Grand Rapids, an effort was made to restore the church. Thompson was asked to paint 35 icons, which would complete the church's icon screen. Thompson enlisted several dozen of his students, who researched the style, technique, and content of icon painting before embarking on the project. With their painting, the project was completed in spring 1971. Closer to home, his strong interest in urban archaeology led to his conducting digs on the Augsburg campus, once primarily a residential area. They collected a variety of artifacts, inciuding bottles, porcelain dolls, marbles, and even an old civil war period projectile. He also conducted digs at homestead sites in Carver and Pine Counties. Thompson said that interest in this sparked some of his students to pursue archaeology either as a career or a serious hobby Thompson's own contributions to the campus and off campus are numerous. A recent addition is the For 40 years, professor emeritus Philip Thompson's hands-on teaching took students out of the classroom to urban archeological digs and Orthodox icon restoration. stained glass cross located in the corridor outside the chapel. Thompson used glass from Tiinity Lutheran Church, saved when the church was torn down to make way for the freeway. Outside Augsburg, Thompson's work is in collections or on display at the Sioux Cìty Art Center, in Sioux City, Iowa; the Pillsbury Research and Development Center; the Minnesota Museum of Art in St. Paul; the University of St. Thomas; Moorhead City Hall; Rourke Museum in Moorhead, and the Plains Museum in Fargo. He has also restored rotunda paintings at the Cass County Courthouse in Fargo and sanctuary murals at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Mankato. Judy Petree is media relcltions manager.

Fall 2002 i\EW YORK, I\.Y. sUMMER oN 'THE oTHER srDE' by Erin Carlson '03 months in New York City at Binder Casting, one o[ I L the most influential Broadway casting offices, swept me into an entirely new world and understanding between what professional theatre is and what many actors think it is. ftT\wo-and-a-half Did my two-and-a-half-month internship there shatter my fluffy dream of becoming a paid and respected actress? No. But it definitely put perspective into important theatrical office, but I began to realize the work I was doing and observing was beyond any world I had ever been a part of. My father made a great analogy for my experience-it was comparable to going to the major leagues straight out of high school baseball. I had always strived to do an internship somewhere far away the summer before my senior year, but I never realized it would be this huge. t'11 you desperately want to make a career out of the art you love, you must be prepared to do it alone and have enough confidence to be rejected more than accepted."

Without great credits or Lraining lrom a prestigious school, it will be difficult to obtain professional exposure. It's reality. It's also most definitely possible to be successful in New York and make it into a dazzlíng Broadway show, but it demands sacrifice and a complete surrender to your career. Would I want to establish a longterm life and career in New York? Most likely not. However, I have vowed that I would not survive more than a year without making a substantially long visit. I suppose it is the greatest city in the world. my career goals of three months ago and the reality I now understand and have accepted. Professional theatre is a demanding career full of personal sacrifices. If you desperately \Mant to make a career out of the art you love, you must be prepared to do it alone and have enough confidence to be rejected more than accepted. Although sounding clmical, these realizations have forced me to recognize what I must do to survive as a professional actress. lt has also fed my constant inspiration to act. Binder Casting threw me over to The Other Side-the dark, mysterious world of theatre business that most actors never .see nor understand. Being surrounded by only one casting director, four associates, and one part-time intern in an intimate, open office space submersed me into the inner workings of a Broadway casting director. Within my first few weeks I was answering phone calls from prominent playwrights such as Neil Simon and Wendy Wasserstein and actors Jenna Elfman and Peter Gallagher. During my last week I sat in on a final callback for the replacement of Little Sally in Broadway's Urinetown! The Musical and watched Saturday Night Live's Rachel Dratch sing "Welcome to the Jungle" as part of her audition. I knew I was working in Fall 2002 an My daily responsibilities with phone answering, mail, e-mails, and faxing were mundane. However, I experienced how one casting director and his four Erin Carlson is a senior majoringín theatre arts andEnglish.

I observed the relationships between casting directors, playwrights, agents, producers, directors, and entire creative teams. It's amazing and shocking how enormous a task it just to cast the show, let alone is bring to the stage. As stated earlier, the knowledge gained from my internship and the New York City theatre world put perspective and reality into my dreams. I learned that sending an unsolicited headshot Erin Carlson spent the summer learning the realities of the theatre business as an intern at a major Broadway casting agency in New York.

Both have become prominent church musicians and organists and both have written and published widely and continue to share the "h).rnnfest circuit," each playrng ar 20-30 h)'mnfests per year. Sedio is director of music at Central Lutheran Church and Cherwien is cantor, or director of music, at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, both in Minneapolis. Cherwien succeeded Sedio at Mt. Olive, and each taught [or ayear at. Gustavus Adolphus College. At Augsburg, they sang in the choir under Leland Sateren and they consider themselves "spiritual, professional children," as Sedio put it, of Stephen "Gabe" Gabrielsen '63, with whom they studied organ. Sedio played piano as a child, and was captivated by the sound of the organ, especially "the small, soft sound." But it was psychology, not music, that brought him to Augsburg. He joined the choir, however, and came under the wing of the music department, who told him that he just couldn't do anything else but music. It was while doing graduate work in choral music at the University of Iowa that Sedio discovered his vocation. "I realízed that doing music in the context of worship \Mas my great love," he says. He completed two years at Luther Seminary pursuing a calling in ministry of word and sacrament. At Central Lutheran, he sees a different kind of ministry weaving together music and spirituality. "When you are actually able to fit music into the life of a congregation, not maybe just in worship, but in the whole life, and to help people see that knitted-together fabric and to facilitate it-that's the greatest joy you could have," says Sedio. He delights when he sees kids captivated with his organ demonstrations who want to come back for more. 22 ,4UCSBUnC n¡OW TO STIR THE SOUL by Betsey Norgard David Cherwien began playing organ while his family lived briefly in France. He never played a h).'rnn until his sophomore year afAugsburg, when he took ajob at a local church. Even though he was a music education major, church music became his passion as he sang in the Augsburg Choir, played organ, and was inspired by organists such as Paul Manz. Cherwien's publishing career, which includes most major music publishers, was launched when a music publisher attended an Augsburg recital and heard Cherwien play h1.rnn improvisations he wrote for an independent study course with Gabrielsen. His original collection of hymn improvisations contains 15 volumes. Gabrielsen comments, "Dave's organ compositions are played in all 50 states and several foreign countries, I would guess." ln addition to his position at Mt. Olive Church, Cherwien recently became director of the National Lutheran Choir. And, last November, he played for the installation of the Rev. Mark Hanson '68 as the third presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Both Sedio and Cherwien attribute the Augsburg Choir and Sateren's gift for guiding students toward the "soul" of the music as significant. "He never talked about 'soul,'but he told stories and passed on the tradition," explains Sedio. Gabrielsen recalls the "glory years" of the 1970s, when Sedio and Cherwien were among his 16-20 organ students. With lìmited organ practice available on campus, Augsburg organ students of that time gained opportunities to play on wonderful organs around the metro area, better than any college could afford. He says that today, even with an increase in great organs available, there is an enormous decrease in organ students. Lack of parental pressure to make children practice, the instant gratification of playing ready-made music on keyboards, and the infiltration of contemporary music in Church musicians and organists Mark Sedio '76 (leÍt) and David Cherwien '79 (right) both studied with music professor and Coflege organist Stephen "C,abe" Gabrielsen '63 and found their ministries of music in publishing, congregational music, and as organists. churches all contribute to this decline. Despite pressures to bring more pop music into worship, Sedio sees the old tradition continue. "Some of the kids I had in Choristers at Mt. Olive are graduating from college and they're excellent musicians. They know what it's all aboutit's a whole."

Brazos Portal is a proprietary process portal designed to be used with IBM BPM1. It is built as an alternative to the default process portal provided by IBM and can be used to:
Filter tasks into smaller groups
Receive notifications for incoming tasks
View tasks across multiple BPM environments.
Version 2 of Brazos Portal uses the ElasticSearch index maintained by IBM BPM, which means searches for tasks are extremely fast compared to v1.x, since it relies on a relational database for the same information.
BP3 presents: Brazos Portal - Setting Mobile BPM Free from BP3 on Vimeo.
My Responsibilities
I worked on Brazos Portal in 2016 and 2017, from product inception to its first release. During this time, I have:
Learned how to setup and use ElasticSearch (also completed a lecture on Udemy, on how to use ElasticSearch, on my own time).
Replicated features available on Brazos Portal v1.x, while learning how to use Angular 2+.
Personally integrated webpack into our build process (before Angular CLI was released) reducing our page load times.
Difficulties Faced
Since IBM unofficially supported the use of ElasticSearch by other applications, there was not much documentation in this area. This made using the IBM BPM provided ElasticSearch challenging, as we had to experiment with the ElasticSearch indices and documents inserted by IBM BPM to understand how we can get the task information needed.
The JMS queue emits events, which are then recorded to ElasticSearch.
Additionally, Angular 2+ was in beta when we started using it for this project, requiring frequent updates to catch up with breaking changes.
ElasticSearch
Prior to this project I had only heard about ElasticSearch. By the time I was being moved off this project, I had learned how to:
Setup index mappings.
Create complex aggregations (especially date-based aggregations).
Optimize search results using better text queries.
The flexibility of aggregations was quite intriguing, as we used them extensively to provide task due date information to the user.
Angular 2+
I had a great time learning how to use Angular 2+, especially not having to deal with scoping and change detection issues that were easy traps to fall into in AngularJS.
In Angular 2+, the process of scoping is hidden from the developer and every component can be considered to be “isolated” (while users can specify variables exposure using TypeScript’s encapsulation). Additionally, the introduction of push-only change detection, along with access to the change detector of the component and NgZone2, change detection became easier to manage.
Webpack
We used to use Gulp with various plugins as our build tool for web projects; however, this time a tool better suited for improving our page load times was needed. This is when I introduced Webpack3 to the project, which allowed us to decrease page load times by bundling the software into larger pieces (loading files in larger chunks is faster, as there is less request overhead). Even after the general release of Angular CLI, the team decided to keep using Webpack because it was working really well (and it would’ve been a decent amount of work to convert all build configurations to work with Angular CLI).
In addition to Webpack’s mentioned benefits, it provided great tools to analyze the sizes of included chunks (such as third-party libraries), allowing us to cut out duplicates and unused portions of libraries.
The Webpack Bundle Analyzer Plugin.
What Did I Learn From This Project?
The usefulness of Webpack and its bundling capabilities.
Despite requiring more time to learn, using popular frameworks like Angular in their beta stage can allow for a better start (if said framework has improved features compared to its ancestors), especially for products with planned long-term support. This prevents a rewrite of the entire product for years to come.
The power of ElasticSearch when it comes to text-based searching and aggregating data. That being said, it’s not meant to be used as a database for writing, as it doesn’t support the ACID principles by default. It is best used as a searchable index along with a database system.
What Would I Do Different Next Time?
To provide better search results to users, I would learn how to make use of the scoring system in ElasticSearch, as it seems crucial in providing more relevant search results.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think it’s more important to have the time in your life captured…than making sure it’s captured professionally. I want to cry when I hear that some families have never had an official family photo, and so many moms just don’t get in pictures at all with their families. I’m here to offer some advice on how you can get it done this year–promise me if it hasn’t happened for a while, that it will happen for you this year!
One of the most helpful tips I’ve been given about Wedding Photography is to get the couple to think ahead about the shots that they’d like you to capture on the day and compile a list so that you can check them off. This is particularly helpful in the family shots. There’s nothing worse than getting the photos back and realizing you didn’t photograph the happy couple with grandma!
I am crazy passionate about my career and love to evolve my photography and continually learn. I’m obsessed with beautiful, dreamy light and have been known to chase it, lol! I am also very passionate about this age group of girls (and guys) and I feel pretty lucky that I get to focus on you and get to know you. They way I look at it….I have a small window of time and opportunity in your life, and I have the ability to bring out the best, real you, and photograph that. I say “I photograph confidence” It is SO fun to guide you through this process, the styling tips, make up and hair, molding you in to flattering poses for your body, then showing you on the back of the camera how it’s going…..ahhh I LOVE it! In that small window of time, if I could have some influence in your confidence and seeing yourself in a wonderful way, well that’s just awesome!
If you're working with a hair and makeup artist for your wedding day, now might be a great time for a trial. If you're just in town for the shoot, I can recommend some wonderful artists for you. While professional hair and makeup are not a must, it can help boost your confidence and ease the getting-ready process on the day of the shoot. I recommend staying away from bright whites, heavily visible logos, or crazy mismatched patterns. While trends heavily lean towards things-that-look-like-they-would-clash-but-they-don't pattern mixing, be careful that you don't go overboard. You don't want your outfits to pull attention from your faces!

Zam Photography of Kingwood, Texas provides fashion photography sessions.

Address things like what the family will wear (use a service like Pinterest to create a board for the family to look at for suggestions on how they might dress), what time of day would be the best for them, and what they’re looking to get out of the shoot (i.e., candids, headshots, or a holiday card).
Photographing couples and landscapes without one overshadowing the other is what we do best. But we also capture tighter, more intimate shots, candid shots that tell the story of the day, goofy behind the scenes shots, group photos, and even landscape shots without you in it (sorry, not sorry). Our goal is to deliver an album that drops your jaw, makes you laugh, and floods you with memories big and small from your epic adventure.
Tipping a photographer for family portraits is not standard etiquette. A great way to recognize a family photographer who goes above and beyond is to write them a glowing review. You probably found your photographer by reading online reviews, so paying it forward by letting everyone know how much you appreciate their work is a great gift. Write your review after they have delivered the final edited photos on time and you’ve confirmed that you’re happy with the terrific portraits they took.
5. Consider some technical details. There are photos I took 5 years ago that I thought were amazing at the time and now realize they were out of focus, or my editing made the people look purple, or the highlights were blown out. If you (like a normal person) haven’t spent a lot of time poring over tons of professional photos with a discerning eye, you may not really know what to look for. Maybe some of these finer technical points wouldn’t bother you, or maybe the photographer you can afford isn’t quite as technically proficient as the photographer who charges $500 more. That’s okay, these are just a few things to consider. First let’s talk about focus. Often, the best way to tell if a photo is properly focused is to look at the eyes. In the two photos below, you can see a lot more detail in her eyes on the left than on the right. I missed the focus on the second image, so that one was not given to my clients.
Jeckyl Photo creates portraits of kids in all stages of childhood. The Fort Worth photo studio shoots maternity photos, newborn photos, and babies at their sitting, walking, and standing stages. The business also shoots senior portraits, engagement photos, and wedding day photos. Clients have praised the company for its beautiful pictures and knowledgeable photographer.
There are many aspects to keep in mind when deciding what to wear for your family photos. Coordinating outfits for family photos doesn’t need to be difficult. You can never go wrong with selecting a few focal colors and textured clothing items, as well as considering the season. Focus on accomplishing a cohesive look and dressing in outfits that will allow your photos to take on a timeless feel. Of course, the most important part of your family portrait is to document the love that your family shares. We’re here to help you with the rest. These family photo outfit ideas below will allow you get a one-of-a-kind portrait that has a close-knit family feel.
Once you are ready after hair and makeup, we will meet up at your location of choice. Do you need to know how to pose? Nope, that’s what you have me for! I know tons of ways to position you based on your body type and what you are wearing. The slightest movement one way or another, can make the biggest difference on how you look on camera…I’ve studied it, and I can help you get those magazine style poses!
As you start looking through photographers’ portfolios, pay attention to the lighting quality in the pictures. Are they dark and moody? Bright and romantic? Each photographer has a certain style, and there will most likely be one that you mesh with better than others. You may also notice while you’re looking through portfolios that some photographers refer to themselves “natural light photographers” which just means that they only use whatever light is available, rather than using a flash or other lighting setups. If you are getting married somewhere dark without a lot of windows, you will want to make sure that the photographer knows how to create light when it isn’t there. Every lighting situation is different for photographers, so make sure you’re looking at photos that have similar characteristics to your venue. An outdoor wedding in the middle of the day with bright sun requires a very different skill than a New Year’s Eve reception in a dark church. (Also, a hot tip: ask to see some reception shots, since many of us don’t include those in our portfolios. Because if you are having an art gallery reception with no light, you want to make sure we can handle it. If all the reception photos are a little blurry and have been converted to black and white, then low-light situations are probably not that photographer’s forte. If you see lots of backlighting and what appears to be bursts of light behind the dancing, it means that that photographer has the ability to create standalone lighting in situations where the light is nonexistent.)
For example, I (obviously) use the photos I shoot for work differently than than those I shoot on my own time--and because the two overlap, I end up with a lot in both locations, but I keep them organized differently. At work I put everything in folders by camera name; at home, by date and location of the shoot. For a coarse level of retrievability, if you just use a utility to rename all the files to something basic but meaningful, like "stair cats in Queens," (plus a file number increment, of course) you can search the file system. Then it's pretty easy to visually scan the thumbnails for the photo you want. If you'll need to find photos more frequently, then it pays to step up to a program that, say, lets you flag the photos you like; flagging quickly narrows down the results of your search when you're looking, but doesn't take a lot of time up front (especially if you use software that lets you quickly scan and flag).
A fourth style that is popular in Asian countries, especially in China, is wedding studio photography (Chinese: 婚纱摄影; pinyin: hūn shā shè yǐng). Typically, couples will make an appointment with a studio for an in-studio or a location shoot, with support from a hair stylist and make-up artist in addition to the photographer and the couple. The couple will go through many changes of clothing and backgrounds in a similar manner to the fashion based approach.
This one is a bit harder to understand from a client’s perspective. Understanding the question of “How do I choose a family photographer” means also understanding the difference in the services they offer. The photography industry does not have one set way to do things when it comes to charging for things and it can vary wildly from photographer to photographer. When I was starting my business, even I had a hard time understanding the pricing structure of photography packages (which is why I opted to keep it simple and just treat my clients the way I would expect to be treated). Some photographers charge a sitting fee, require you buy a certain number of prints, then charge a premium for digital downloads. Sometimes editing is not included in the price. Some photographers don’t offer products at all and only deliver digital downloads. There are fees for travel outside of specific areas, outfit changes, multiple locations, weekend shoots and there are usually ALWAYS fees for larger families. Understanding what EXACTLY is included in the fee listed on their website is extremely important to understanding what you are choosing. If digital downloads are important to you, make sure you ask your prospective family photographer if that is part of what you’re paying for. If you are ever unsure about what to expect, always ask – and get the answer in writing so you can refer back to it during the process.
Indian weddings are significantly different from western marriages. While the western marriage rituals have become common in many countries, they have not become common in India except among the Christian population. Indian weddings exhibit bold colors instead of the color white. Loud music is considered to be the norm during parts of an Indian marriage. The ceremonies are elaborate and can take considerable time even when condensed. There are various rituals like Seven Promises of Indian Marriage which are called as 'Saat Pheras[7]' and are performed on the day of wedding. An Indian marriage is traditionally a public affair, with the bridegroom taken in a procession through the town. Even a modest Indian wedding can have several hundred participants, who are all thought to be "relatives and close family friends".[8] By convention a photographer is required to include each guest in at least one photograph which includes the bride and the groom. These factors make photographing an Indian wedding significantly different from western weddings.
Wedding photographers offer a wide range of photography styles, so when you start your initial search, review portfolios to find the look you're after. In cities like Chicago and New York, high-fashion editorial-style wedding photos are popular, with couples earmarking a larger part of their wedding budget to lock in well-known photographers. Aesthetic elements of the photographer's style include everything from lenses used and lighting to formality of poses and more. Popular requests among soon-to-be married couples include traditional/formal, candid, artistic, natural/outdoors, and high-fashion photos.
Hi there fellow San Diegan and fellow Charger fan ;-), I don’t think there’s anything I can say that hasn’t been said already. Wonderful tips and insight especially for newbies like myself. I can’t even call myself a photographer considering I’m still getting to learn my camera. But I will say that after reading your post, it definitely seems more doable and less scary. Not saying that it will be easy. I’m hoping to get together with a photographer and go on a “ride along” so to speak and maybe get some hands on experience before I venture out on my own. I literally came across your post about an hour ago and I’m looking forward to reading and learning more!
A new baby is on the way! To document your the tiny bundle of joy’s life from the very beginning, many expecting mothers will choose to do a maternity photography session. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, maternity photography is a great way to capture this special time in life. Not only is it a chance to take snapshots of the glowing mother-to-be, it can also be an opportunity for couples or family photography.
Be very open with your clients about your preference regarding an engagement session and explain how you typically do it. Be very patient with the couple and let them speak their minds before suggesting anything from yourself. As the opportunity presents itself for you to explain what you usually do, lead them the right way while showing examples of your previous work. Ask questions and make the session about them. Find out if they like certain places or if they have strong location preferences where they wish to be photographed. Are they an outdoorsy couple or do they enjoy the city life better?
I don’t mind them most of the time – I think they show your baby as he or she is and there’s nothing wrong with that. However at times they can be a little distracting and for those special shots that you might like to give as gifts you might like to do a little photoshop retouching. Most post processing editing tools will have some sort of airbrush or retouching tool – learn to use it, even if it’s just to smooth over the main marks and you’ll be amazed by the results.
The wardrobe: Whether you're going formal or casual, solid colors are a must. Try to avoid plaids, florals, patterns and head-to-toe black or white clothing—and keep the silhouettes streamlined. Some couples coordinate their clothing palettes to the point of looking a bit matchy, but there's no need to go overboard. If you're worried about color, pick a neutral and a few coordinating color tones you both like and stick to those hues.
Portrait photography provides parents with lasting images of the first whirlwind months of a newborn’s life. The cost varies based on several factors, including the length and location of the session, the number of photos provided, and the amount of editing and retouching the photographer does. The national average cost for baby photos is $150-$200. Some baby photographers charge by the number of photos provided, typically ranging from an average of $299 for 20 high-resolution edited photos, to an average of $399 for 35 photos, to $499 for all of the images taken in a single session. Props and location affect the cost, too; an elaborate studio shoot with props and professional lighting may increase the cost to $600-$700 for 20-50 photos. Adding a second location or asking the photographer to travel can add $70-$250 to the cost of the session. Photographers may also charge extra fees for providing additional photos and DVDs, scheduling weekend sessions, and shooting siblings. Expect to pay at least a $50 deposit when you book a portrait photography session.
This guy (or girl) is coming to the wedding you are photographing. Make no bones about it Uncle Bob will be there. He/she is an amateur photographer who thinks they know better than the wedding photographer. You need to effectively deal with him/her without being rude and without offending the couple. Be firm but fair. If necessary have a word with the couple. Suggest that you and them get away from the crowd for a while so you can focus on some portraits of just them. At the end of the day let Uncle Bob enjoy taking his/her photos but don’t let it affect the results you are capturing. You’re couple will be much happier if you deal with this on the day and show that you are in charge of the photography. Rather than having loads of photos with Uncle Bob in them.
Please, parents… leave the “cheese” at home. Cheese is for crackers. So many times I have found parents who stand behind the photographer and scream, “Say cheese to the lady kids!” Yelling and demanding young children to look at the camera to smile will only stress your children out (not to mention the photographer) and will result in strained, unnatural and often unflattering photographs. Step back, and allow the photographer to naturally interact and talk with your children. This will result in natural, gorgeous smiles. Help the photographer capture the true essence of your child’s personality by talking with and coaxing out those smiles naturally and easily.
Know ahead of time how formal the wedding will be, and how you fit into the event. Some wedding photographers, like David Ziser, like to wear a suit to every wedding. Other photographers think it is perfectly appropriate to wear slacks and a shirt. Some female photographers wear a dress, and others wear jeans and a nice polo. I wouldn't say that there is one right answer here, but it is worth thinking about beforehand.
First, streamline. Take the time to go through the prints from your childhood and have your favorites converted to digital files so you'll always have them, sans the yellow tinge of time or (gulp) water damage. Two popular services are ScanDigital and ScanCafe, both of which require you to send in your negatives, prints, or slides. They'll send back your digital files on a DVD along with your originals. Prices range from 29 to 88 cents per photo.
You may want to ask around about student photographers, especially if you are anywhere near a fine arts school. I know a few lovely people who have done a lot of discounted work (as in anywhere from covering travel cost to $150) to get the experience and possibly further their portfolio. Just keep in mind that student/amateur does not = terrible all the time, ask to see their previous work.
Couples looking for a free iPhone or Android app should check out WedPics. There are premium features available for a price, but a basic photo-sharing folder—to be filled with either recently taken pics or those taken in the app itself—comes free of charge with unlimited storage. Decide whether you want to order custom invite cards with your names, wedding ID, and simple user instructions. Or digitally streamline the process and send custom generated emails, text messages, or Facebook invites. Guests who are toting digital cameras or other mobile devices can also upload their snaps to the WedPics site. And you can even print photos through the program.
Ok now that the formals are out of the way, everyone has a few minutes to just relax, get a drink, and recompose themselves and get ready for the ceremony as guests begin to arrive. One photographer usually photographs the ceremony location and all the details before guests are seated. The other photographer is usually taking candids of guests as they arrive.
4. Position your subjects so you can see both their faces. A mom or grandma will probably hold the baby up on her chest, the baby facing in. This can make it hard to see both faces at once in a photo, so ask your subject to stand sideways and gently turn the baby toward you while she turns her head toward you as well. (An over the shoulder pose like the one above works well too.)
I set up our family shots with my DSLR on a tripod and then I used a 10-second timer to take the photos! I also set my camera to take three photos in a row. So I had 10 seconds to run into place, fix my clothes and hair and smile at the camera! All the while my kiddos yelled, “run mommy run!” Believe me, we got some genuine smiles and laughter from them watching mommy run and act like a crazy person!
Thank you very much for the tips. My son is 9 months old and I have took thousands of pictures but I never satisfied with the end result. We had to use professional photography when he was new born. It was very expensive. He is very chubby, charming and beautiful boy but it does not justify in the pictures. Now I have learnt few tricks thanks to you I will definitely try it once and I will let you know. I have bought one of the fancy expensive camera but I have no idea how to get the good result.
Visit the locations of the different places that you’ll be shooting before the big day. While I’m sure most Pros don’t do this – I find it really helpful to know where we’re going, have an idea of a few positions for shots and to know how the light might come into play. On one or two weddings I even visited locations with the couples and took a few test shots (these made nice ‘engagement photos’).
Thank you so much for this article! This past weekend I did my 3rd newborn session which happened to be my grandson. It took 4 hours and I had such difficulty getting him into the poses that I had planned in my head, that when the session was over with I felt totally defeated. I experienced everything you mentioned, including overwhelming myself with too many props. I started doubting myself and wondering if I was even cut out to be a newborn photographer. Your article was very helpful and encouraging at the same time. Thank you so much!
Most contracts stipulate that the photographer owns the rights to all photos taken at the wedding, even the ones of you. In other words, the photographer can use them promotionally (on their website or blog, submit them for publication and even place them in ads). That also means you can't just post the digital proofs they send you—most photographers have a policy that you can only share watermarked images or images with their credit on them. Also, unless you negotiate otherwise, if you want to print the images yourselves or order an album from another source, you'll have to buy the rights to the images.
Posed/studio sessions – Typically must be done within the first 2 weeks of birth when the baby is very sleepy and “mold-able”. The focus in this type of session is on shots of the baby looking perfect, usually in blankets, wraps, hats, & headbands. The session can last up to 4 hours with feeding, potty breaks, and posing. Editing this type of session also takes quite a bit of time as each image needs to go through Photoshop individually to get a polished end result.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I am not as experienced in newborn shoots as I am with other types and my latest one just kicked my butt! I’ve been trying to edit a particular image for 2 days. And then… I found your tutorials and it made all the difference in the world. I also really needed to see that you started out shaky with your own kids and how you’d improved. Sometimes, I forget it’s ok that I don’t know everything yet. Thanks again!

My approach to this particular point may not reflect your opinion as a photographer, but I am a strong believer in a good spa day to make me feel all better. This is true for most of the ladies out there. No offence to boys who are reading this, but my first priority is to make my female clients happy and feel fabulous. After-all, happy wife, happy life, right? Hence, I arrange for a hair and makeup time for my brides right before the engagement session. This is the biggest reason I want them to disconnect from everything they do that day and take a day off. I want them to relax and get their hair and makeup done professionally. This is all done at no charge to my clients. I pay for the services of the hair and makeup artist and I am more than happy to do so. This little trip to the professional salon will assure that your female client will look amazingly confident in front of the camera.
Photographer reputation and demand have a huge impact on rates. Professional photographers with a widely recognized brand will cost more than those just starting out. Experience will also affect costs. A new photographer looking to build their portfolio will often offer discounts to build clientele, while more established pros will have rates reflecting their experience. Most wedding photographers only work one wedding a day, so if you have your heart set on someone with a cult following, secure their services early with a deposit.
Keep on the look out for those times in your baby’s life when he or she seems most settled and content. They may not smile yet but there are times in a daily routine which are better than others for photos. I find in Xavier’s day there are a couple of moments that are especially good. One is bath time (he loves it) and another is mid morning after he’s had half of a feed and when we let him have a little ‘play’ before finishing his feed off. These are times when we’re guaranteed to get wide open eyes and even a giggle or two.
We would be honored to help tell the story of your family, & capture the new-found love you have for your little one, or little one to be. Pictures last forever & are a priceless investment that captures unique moments that might never be repeated again. Call now to book your session at our Vancouver and Burnaby maternity & newborn photography studio.

i love this article. I feel so much more capable of taking my own newborn photos rather then spending an arm and a leg for a photographer. I know O have a lot to still learn but my husband and I have debated on buying a nice camera to have throughout the years. What brand and model would you suggest knowing I want to take newborn photos with it. I feel like there is something out there that doesn’t have to have all the bells and whistles but will still get the job done. Thanks so much!
Oh Babies! I love babies! They don’t call them bundles of joy for nothing. I specialize in newborn photography due to the monumental joy a new life brings and I want to preserve those moments for your family in a unique and timeless way. Those little toes and sweet features mature and grow so quickly. It always comes as a shock to us mothers how fast time flies. This is why I am so passionate about providing families with high-quality images of their babies in a safe and comfortable environment.

In terms of wedding photos, you probably plan to hire a photographer or videographer—but what about all those amazing snaps your guests are going to take? Creating a wedding hashtag can help you locate some pics on social media, but it can't capture all the photos your great aunt Edna and Internet-shy cousins took too. And you want to see every. Single. Picture. Right? Here are some programs and technologies out there that can help you gather all the photographic goods.
Finding homes for unwanted photographs. Many people feel strongly that no old photo should ever be tossed. However, if you have tons of photos but have no connection to them (or if they’re just not your thing), what can you do with them? One option is to donate them. Historical societies worldwide often accept photos, especially if you can provide information about how they came to you. It can be a point of pride for small towns across the U.S., Europe and elsewhere to see how far and wide their native sons and daughters have traveled over the course of generations.

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOS: this is perhaps the least known category for many people. Even tough documentary photography is not new as a style, it has begun to become a bit more popular for commercial family photography in recent years. In this case, the photographer spends time with the family recording their day to day, not interfering in what happens. It can be a whole day or a few hours, and the result is usually quite authentic, since no family is the same. The photographer will be recording not only the connection of you and how you look, but also the essence and small details of the family’s routine. The photos don’t take place in a specific location because they are according to family activities. It can be at your home, on the street, at school, in the car or during your vacation activities, for example. You can search for this style by documentary or photojournalism.

Baby pictures are among the most popular types of portrait photography, and most newborn photographers are well versed in the best places to take baby pictures in their local areas. Some newborn photographers will come to the hospital to shoot the baby within a day or two of birth, while others have set up their studios to accommodate the needs of infants. Some parents prefer to have the newborn photographer come to their home or travel to a favorite park or other outdoor location. Like any portrait photography, the best place to take baby pictures is the place you like best and that will yield the types of photos you want of your baby, whether that’s posed and carefully lit studio portraits or spontaneous, casual photos at home. Work with a local newborn photographer to find a safe, calm location with great lighting and some privacy for your family.
The importance of beautiful family pictures can not be understated. Cars and televisions eventually break down and have to be replaced, but investing in your family portraits is something that will last a lifetime. Make sure that you select a Las Vegas family photographer who specializes in creating beautiful, timeless, and classic portraits for your family. This is definitely not the time to shop for a bargain photographer – invest your money wisely in a skilled photographer and you will have family portraits that you are proud to hang on your walls for a lifetime.

Consider your location as well when you're preparing your engagement shoot outfits. If we're shooting in a peaceful field or secluded park, consider a casual dress or jeans and a vintage tank top. If we'll be in downtown Manhattan, what about a cocktail dress or sleekly tailored trench? Another thing that can be very effective is deliberately not matching your outfit to your location. A flowing evening gown in a field is against the norm, and it's contrast to the scene can be very compelling.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I am not as experienced in newborn shoots as I am with other types and my latest one just kicked my butt! I’ve been trying to edit a particular image for 2 days. And then… I found your tutorials and it made all the difference in the world. I also really needed to see that you started out shaky with your own kids and how you’d improved. Sometimes, I forget it’s ok that I don’t know everything yet. Thanks again!

If you need more inspiration for poses or styling tips, these family photo ideas should help. If you’re taking black and white photos, find inspiration using our guide on how to dress for a black and white photoshoot. Once you get your portraits, share these memories with the ones you love and create a family photo album or a custom home decor piece everyone will adore.
Pro tip: "Finding the perfect family pose for maternity pictures will vary on the age of your other child or children," photographer Amado says. "Most of the time I work with toddlers and you have to find activities to keep them entertained on the belly. The best family pose on these occasions is the sincere joy and happiness of having big brother or sister interacting with the belly. Something as simple as touching your belly while the family looks on will likely become one of your favorite memories."
Great tips, I especially love the one about safety first, it’s scary the positions that some people put newborn babies in for the sake of photos! I also agree with your comment about the images looking the same at times. We have to remember that while it might be the same old thing for us, it’s the first time for this family portrait session, and this baby.
Your magic window for Newborn Photography is within the first 14 days of birth. Newborns are easiest to work with during this time because they are sleeping for most of the day. They are also the most easy to adjust during this time-frame. Consider taking your baby’s photos after his or her umbilical cord has fallen off (which is typically after 5 days or so).
And how is their customer service? If at all possible, try to find reviews (not from their website) on your potential photographer. Are they willing to make special arrangements? Are they good about handling unhappy clients? Do they do their best to make the costumer happy? Do they take their time with clients, make them feel comfortable, happy, and at ease, or do they treat photography strictly as a business and push you through. Are they pushy sales people? All things to consider, though it can be hard knowing these beforehand.

Finding the right wedding photographer can make a big difference for your ceremony. Nationally, the average wedding photographer’s price ranges from $800 to $1,000, but costs can be much higher in areas like Chicago, New York or Los Angeles where some couples spend $2,000 to $5,000 or more for the photographer they want. Factors that can affect your wedding photographer prices include the photographer’s reputation and experience. Heavy hitters can command top rates, especially during wedding-season weekends. Day of the week also affects your cost. You may get a $200 discount on wedding photographer prices if you get married on a Friday in November rather than a Saturday in June. Time onsite is also an important cost factor. Hiring a photographer to snap photos from the moment you wake up until after last call at the reception is going to cost more than five hours of pictures during the day. Multiple photographers, special lighting, and videography will also increase your costs. Ultimately you want to find someone who has a style you love and can provide the number of edited shots you want for a price you can handle. Learn more about hiring a wedding photographer.
Ok now that the formals are out of the way, everyone has a few minutes to just relax, get a drink, and recompose themselves and get ready for the ceremony as guests begin to arrive. One photographer usually photographs the ceremony location and all the details before guests are seated. The other photographer is usually taking candids of guests as they arrive.
Create a contract. Before you agree to go into any photo shoot with someone, make sure that you have a business contract that they must sign. This should include everything that their money is paying for and the things you are and are not liable for. For example, make it clear if you hold liability for photos that are accidentally and irrevocably deleted, or if after signing the contract it is no longer a problem of yours.[24]
With my background being in classic style studio portraiture (aka “boring”), and 25 years experience photographing portraits and weddings, I have a few tips up my sleeve for you. If you’ve never done a family or group portrait before don’t be intimidated. Be honest with the family and tell they you’re just learning, I bet they’ll be willing participants to help you out and they get some nice photos in exchange.
In spite of this trend, some photographers continue to shoot with film as they prefer the film aesthetic, and others are of the opinion that negative film captures more information than digital technology, and has less margin for exposure error. Certainly true in some cases, exposure latitude inherent in a camera's native Raw image format (which allows for more under- and over- exposure than JPEG) varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. All forms of RAW have a degree of exposure latitude which exceeds slide film - to which digital capture is commonly compared.
I know many portrait & wedding photographers love to shoot wide open at f/1.2 & f/1.4. However, with newborn photography, many of the baby poses can have extreme angles and you often will have better luck with your depth of field and sharpness by shooting around f/2 & f/2.2. Remember, it will be rare that the baby’s eyes are on the same plane of focus all the time and by closing down my aperture a bit from wide open I get that little bit extra of depth of field that is often needed.
Family portraits are a great way to mark the passage of time, create lifelong keepsakes and have gorgeous-looking photos for your annual holiday card. The national average cost for hiring family photographers ranges from $150 to $200. Pricing can range higher depending on where you live, length of the photo shoot, the number of edited photos you request, and the background and reputation of your family photographer. Before hiring, make sure you understand their fees up front. Ask how many finished images are included in the quoted price and whether you will receive all the photos taken (not just edited photos). Ask whether you’ll be able to download digital photos or if you’ll have to print them or purchase digital copies through the photographer. Here are some average examples of family photographer pricing:
I had what I consider my first “real” maternity session a couple weeks ago. I call it my “first” because at the real first one I didn’t give any direction at all on what to wear and she came dressed in a black lace top with matching lace fingerless gloves! EEEK! Not exactly my style or what I wanted to show in my portfolio. But this time I was much more certain of the shots I wanted and was able to tweak the client’s prop ideas to get what she wanted and, secretly, what I wanted as well.
You've put an incredible amount of time and energy into planning your wedding—naturally, you want the resulting photographs to reflect that. Ensuring that your big day is masterfully documented begins with choosing the photographer that's right for you in terms of media type, general aesthetic, and experience. That last point is key: A veteran wedding photographer ultimately knows how to manipulate light, work a crowd, and keep you comfortable in front of the camera. Ideally, you shouldn't worry about the photos they're taking or how they're taking them—the bond between the couple and their photographer should always come down to trust.

Some newborn photographers will come to the hospital to shoot the baby within a day or two of birth, while others have set up their studios to accommodate the needs of infants.

When I’m photographing kids I make a total idiot of myself. I make funny noises, I sing songs (I’m really bad but they don’t care), I make fish faces, I play peek-a-boo behind the camera. I run back and forth to the camera with the puppet. I lie on the ground, I stick my butt out. Kids are the ones that have life the right way around, it’s us adults that ruin it. Let them be kids, let them have fun. Then be ready to capture it when it happens.
“Hiring Maddie was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding! Maddie is so much more than a photographer - she found us an amazing trail to hike for our photos, helped create a realistic day-of timeline, and even patiently taught me how to drive on rough 4WD roads on the way to the trailhead. Maddie goes above and beyond what you would expect from a wedding/elopement photographer. She provides so much detailed information that wouldn't have even crossed my mind in the planning process. What kind of dress do you wear for an adventure elopement? What do you pack? How do you do your hair and makeup while hiking? She's seriously got it all covered in the files she sends you. So not only is Maddie amazingly detail oriented, she's also super easy to get along with. My husband and I are both shy, introverted, and a little awkward in front of a camera. We were instantly comfortable with Maddie; she gave us such a great pep talk right at the beginning that almost made us forget there was even a camera. We had such an amazing time hiking and exploring with Maddie on our wedding day. Even if you're not exactly sure what you want to do for your intimate wedding/adventure elopement, just talk to Maddie. She's got such a wealth of experience and seemingly endless great ideas; you really can't go wrong. After just one conversation with Maddie you can see just how passionate she is about her work. Just five stars doesn't do Maddie justice; she's an incredible photographer and person.”

Photographing couples and landscapes without one overshadowing the other is what we do best. But we also capture tighter, more intimate shots, candid shots that tell the story of the day, goofy behind the scenes shots, group photos, and even landscape shots without you in it (sorry, not sorry). Our goal is to deliver an album that drops your jaw, makes you laugh, and floods you with memories big and small from your epic adventure.
She advises against using a Speedlight mounted on the camera. While this may be her preference, and often for good reason, it really depends on your location's light. I tend to shoot in open shade under a large tree where it can get pretty dark. Shadows under the eyes, nose and chin can be eliminated with a slight flash fill. In post processing, I'll using Lightroom's dodge tool to add more light to faces, if necessary. Even a half-stop boost will make your subjects stand out.
Capturing the details of the entire day help to tell the complete story of your wedding. We tell our brides to be in the finishing stages of hair and makeup when we arrive, but not in the dress yet. While you and your bridal party are in the finishing stages of hair and makeup, your photographer should arrive to photograph the details of the wedding that you are going to want to remember. These details include your dress hanging, shoes, jewelry, and bouquet.
2. Lots of photos of the specific type of session that you want to book. Another thing you might want to consider is that although your wedding photographer may have done a fantastic job on your wedding photos, that doesn’t mean she’ll be any good at taking posed photos of your newborn baby. It’s a totally different skill set! Similarly, if you’re thinking about using your newborn photographer for family photos, you may want to check out her family sessions and make sure you like her style. She probably won’t be having you all squish up into a bucket and pretend to sleep, so her family photo style could look quite a bit different from her newborn style. 🙂 If you have young kids, make sure they’ve got a lot of experience working with busy little ones. If you’re looking for senior portraits, make sure they know how to pose teens in a flattering way. These are all things that we as photographers study and we’ve all chosen to specialize in different areas.
Keeping in mind these two instructions will most certainly give you a well rested baby. In return we’ll be able to maximize the time you have in the studio with plenty of scenes and photos so for that reason please do not underestimate and risk how well your baby sleeps after a feeding. We need your bundle of joy to be very exhausted, tired and a bit hungry. I know it will be hard, atop of your own sleep deprivation but I promise you, it will be well worth the effort!! ♥

Indian weddings are significantly different from western marriages. While the western marriage rituals have become common in many countries, they have not become common in India except among the Christian population. Indian weddings exhibit bold colors instead of the color white. Loud music is considered to be the norm during parts of an Indian marriage. The ceremonies are elaborate and can take considerable time even when condensed. There are various rituals like Seven Promises of Indian Marriage which are called as 'Saat Pheras[7]' and are performed on the day of wedding. An Indian marriage is traditionally a public affair, with the bridegroom taken in a procession through the town. Even a modest Indian wedding can have several hundred participants, who are all thought to be "relatives and close family friends".[8] By convention a photographer is required to include each guest in at least one photograph which includes the bride and the groom. These factors make photographing an Indian wedding significantly different from western weddings.
This could save you a lot of aggravation, upset and possible humiliation. Speak with the Officiant before the Ceremony begins. Ask if they have any particular rules. Generally speaking, a church officiant will be a little more strict than a non-religious officiant. Some places only allow you to stand in certain places, whilst others don’t allow flash photography. Some don’t allow photography at all! If the officiant tells you this on the day of the wedding your best option is to instantly go and speak with the groom. Just explain to him that the officiant has told you that you aren’t allowed to take photographs during the service. This generally doesn’t happen as the couple have already met with the officiant but just be prepared that you might catch them in a bad mood.

Light can make or break any photograph, portraits are no different. The very derivative of the word photography is “drawing with light”. The biggest thing you want to make sure you do for portraits is get light into your subjects’ eyes. There are many ways to do that and that’s a whole huge topic but there are a few things you can do to set yourself up to start off with good light.

MOST PARENTS PHOTOGRAPHING THEIR DAUGHTER IN A SWIMMING COMPETITION WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET A SHOT LIKE THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM. BUT A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER REMOVES ALL OF THE ABERRATIONS OR CLUTTER OUT OF THE BACKGROUND. I SHOT THIS PICTURE IN A HOTEL POOL, SO I CREATED A BLACK BACKGROUND TO GET RID OF THE UNNECESSARY CLUTTER SO THAT ALL THE VIEWER'S ATTENTION WOULD BE PLACED ON THE ACTION.

Thank you so much for this article! This past weekend I did my 3rd newborn session which happened to be my grandson. It took 4 hours and I had such difficulty getting him into the poses that I had planned in my head, that when the session was over with I felt totally defeated. I experienced everything you mentioned, including overwhelming myself with too many props. I started doubting myself and wondering if I was even cut out to be a newborn photographer. Your article was very helpful and encouraging at the same time. Thank you so much!
Thank you!! I am not yet enrolled in photography classes, but at 32 if I hear one more person say “so why aren’t you a photographer?” I will cry. I love photography, just got my first SLR which I completely don’t understand yet, (aperture what??!?) but I will be learning. And since I am 7 months pregnant I was looking for some good tips in taking my own newborn photos, I appreciate you writing this! Very good info and depending how it goes, I may be pursuing a new career!

We love being tour guides, and we love taking pictures, but our favorite part of being an elopement photographer is hands down the fun times we have romping around these epic landscapes with our new friends.
Just as you do not want the exposure to change from frame to frame, neither do you want the focus to be adjusted. Assuming you’ve taken #1 to heart and are using a tripod, you will not be moving. Likely if you’ve posed your group in a relatively static position, they will not be moving. Not much anyway. We are only concerned with moving closer to, or further away from the camera. So . . .
Take fun photos. It doesn't have to be all serious. Laughter is a wonderful memory. The last one I did was pretty casual. I had the groomsmen and the groom climb a tree and took a wonderful shot. We also did the infamous Charlie's Angel shot of the bride and her bridesmaids. (Thanks Melody Landrum) Also, thanks to Chris Nelson, destination wedding photographer. Submitted some excellent photos from weddings via his site.
Newborns aren't the only subject we love to photograph... we love to capture all of the milestones of family life. Using a photojournalistic style approach to photography, we capture your baby learning to stand, your 5-year old riding his bike with no training wheels, and your teenager's last photograph before she becomes an adult. Go to our Bella Life section to view samples of these important family moments.
"The photo was taken 2 days after my son and daughter-in-law`s wedding. There was a horse on the beach (a day after wedding get-together) that was the same breed as the horse she was taught to ride by her late uncle. The owner of the horse offered to photograph her for free, in her wedding gown, at sunrise. I had the photo done as oil painting, as a gift for Christmas. Simply beautiful.
If you notice that you aren't getting the bride and groom to relax and interact with each other while you're taking photos, the best thing you can do is to switch to a longer lens (like 200mm) and scoot way back. The couple will naturally begin to interact with each other and you'll be able to get the shot since you're out of their way. This is my favorite way to START a wedding shoot of the couple. By starting far away, they feel like it's just them and they can get used to the camera from a distance.
The key to posing newborns is to take your time. Really take your time. Posing your newborn takes a few steps. First, get the baby naked and wrap her up tight in a blanket, then hold her close to your chest and rock back and forth to settle her back to sleep. It usually doesn’t take long if she was sleepy to begin with, but be willing to wait a few minutes until she’s fully asleep.
Sounds great right? Well often it’s a bit of pain pairing your phone with your camera. Most apps made by camera manufacturers for smartphones are terrible. Then when you’re actually using the app you’ll find it’s nearly impossible to shoot photos in quick succession (because of the lag between the camera and your phone, and also because it’s tough to repeatedly tap the shutter release button on the app).
I would love to meet up and talk about your hopes and dreams — Meet your partner in crime, and little(s), and hear your love story. I hope you will give me the chance to get to know you. I will bring some samples, talk about what it’s like to do a playdate with me, answer all of your questions and calm your anxieties, and you can get a feel for what it is like to work with me.
Plan on spending at least an hour to get some good shots. I generally spend two hours when I photograph a newborn (some pros spend twice that much time). If you’re taking pictures of your own baby, you could also plan to spend just half an hour but try once a day for the first week. Figure out what will work best for your schedule, but realize this won’t be a quick process. Also, the photoshoot will be much easier if you have someone to help you, so rope your husband/mom/friend into being your assistant.

Ok, this isn’t a novel idea, but I use this a lot (even still) and think it’s worth the small investment for the random times it’s used. I have this tripod with a bag carrier, found on Amazon for $14.99. It’s a handy tool for years to come. Many times I’ve set my tripod up, and RUN into the picture. The toughest part about this method is making sure all the kids look in the right direction, and not at you running back.

Although asbestos is not dangerous when it’s in good condition, it’s very dangerous when the fibers have deteriorated or have become airborne. The small, nearly invisible fibers can easily be inhaled or embedded in bodily tissues when they become airborne or are disturbed by vibration. Exposure to high amounts of asbestos for long terms can cause asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. These are all incurable, mostly fatal diseases which may not develop symptoms until 15-40 years after the exposure occurred. Recent research has suggested that asbestos may also cause or aggravate breast, ovarian, prostrate, and laryngeal cancers and pleural plaques.
Until 20 years ago most of hadn’t even heard of Asbestos until its hazardous properties were highly publicised in the mid 1980s.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with long fibrous crystals. It is these fibres that cause Asbestos’s toxicity due to the harm they cause when inhaled into the lungs. Inhalation of Asbestos can cause a number of very serious illnesses such as lung cancer and Pneumoconiosis.
In 1970 the Asbestos industry maintained a voluntary ban on Blue Asbestos (the most harmful type of Asbestos) in its raw form. The ban did not, however, cover products containing the material. This ban was extended to Brown Asbestos (considered the 2nd most dangerous type) in 1980.
It wasn’t until 1986 that the UK Government imposed an official ban on the two most harmful forms of Asbestos, and any products that contained them. The official policy was introduced to: “Prohibit the most hazardous forms and activities, namely the importation, supply and use of blue and brown (crocidolite and amosite) asbestos, asbestos spraying and the installation of asbestos insulation, License most work with asbestos insulation or coatings and Strictly control the remaining risks to anyone working with asbestos (and others affected by them)”.
In 2006 the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 came into force. These new regulations combine the three previous sets of regulations covering the prohibition, control and licensing of Abestos.
The regulations prohibit the importation, supply and use of all three forms of Asbestos – Blue, Brown and white.

If you love our bestselling Guru pants you will love our jumpsuit version! The neckline is adjustable and has a tie fastening that sits on the shoulder. It also has a flattering tie belt at the waist too! This design was super popular last season so make sure you get in quick! It's the perfect summer outfit!
Round adjustable tie neckline, sleeveless with an adjustable tie strap, tie belt at waist, 2x front side pockets, 2x back pockets, all over block print fabric, cuff bottom, the length sits shorter than our classic Guru's and is more like Jada shorts in length, also looks great with a basic tee worn underneath, designed in Australia, made in India.

Sir, I don’t know if your able to take on my appeals at short notice. The DAVA, Board of Veteran’s Appeal, WA,DC has remanded, going on 10 years back to this AOJ, problematic since I haven’t been able to get appts other than annuals. When I ask them to follow up on 2015-2016 records that indicate further studies are needed it has gone on deaf ears. My case is horrifying. Let me let you know I have Dyslexia that causes me to misinterpret information, not to mention it takes forever to read. I was given your information as I haven’t worked since 2014. I’ve written my Congressman (big mistake, did hear if I did it would be another 5 years, it has!). I currently am at 92lbs and desperate for the military doctors to fix me. I throw-up, shit on myself in public ( grocery store, humiliating) the medication that helps causes Kidney stones so I can’t take it. I had to go on SSN since I can’t work, (My TDIU keeps getting denied). That affects my income in the future since It’s early. I was enlisted (peace of shit), but my mentors were all Vietnam vets so I am old school. Served 1982-2002, Army. Again due to time restriction I understand if your not available. Thank you

So I was underway from July 3rd through the 24th. Before I left I ask my wife to transfer a small amount of money to ensure the mortgage payment would go through. She ended up transferring the money after they tried to take it so whe paid it directly online. We did not know that it would stop the automatic payment. On August 12th after we pulled back in I received a letter saying I was delinquent. I immediately called them and got things squared away but they reported the whole thing to the credit bureau. Now my credit score has dropped a whole lot. Shane Mgraw was going to help me do my rate reduction for my VA loan but now can’t due to this. I really need help/advise and my command will be in and out a lot in preparation for the upcoming deployment.

I submitted my NOD and a supplemental claim on my pre-Feb 19, 2019 decision letter from the VA back in early June 2019. I used the old forms since the website said follow the old procedure. I just received a letter from them that said I used the wrong supplemental claim for (out dated) and that I need to fill out the new form and submit it. They also did not acknowledge they received my NOD. The new supplemental form does not support or coincide with the old NOD process. So at this point not sure what to do. I appreciate any info you can provide.

I m TDIU.P&T. I have been trying yo get my va doc to fill out form 2680 for A&A. My doc refused and actually treated me like an idiot. She made me do the stupid human tricks. She took my shoes and socks off and threw them in the floor. It was 17 degrees that dy so I had to put them back on, she said if I can do that I did not need Aand A. Plus when the va found me eligible for TDIU they did not consider me for housebound or A&A. They didn’t maximize my benefits back in 2007. I have also been trying to get accredited by the va but that has been a royal pain the donkey. I don’t even want to et started with the experience I has with the VA voc rehab idiots……need some help.

Good afternoon sir; thank you for your service. I just purchased book and I am going to begin the read soon. I am a veteran of the US Navy (90’ to 97’) and just recently got help at a vet center (highly recommend for any veteran) for issues I’ve had for years. Ultimately I was just diagnosed with PTSD and TBI from same doctor. TBI is from a fall I took in 91 which isn’t in my SMR, however the corpsman who responded and 2 buddy’s have written letters about the fall I took (6’ To be exact). They state that I hit my face, nose and head area. I’m also told the jolt to the head From fall could have caused this. Another thing is I don’t remember sitting up after fall. I also was diagnosed with DDD in cervicle spine in 03 and have seen chiropractor since 99. I also have appeal in for migraines(15 HA days a month) and sleep apnea for 26 months now. Can the fall be the root of these issues and are letters sufficient for proof?

The letters will be adequate support as long as your buddies submit DD 214s with their letters. If it happened on board ship, it’s a good idea to make sure your and their SMRs show deployment on the same vessel. As for the medical side, I am not a doctor so it would be imprudent of me to offer advice on that. Welcome aboard.

Thank you; looks like back to the drawing board. I have 5 buddy letters from shipmates, one of them is an email, one from an other than honorable, one from the doc and another from a gentleman that is a VSO. I don’t have their 214’s. My VSO who said all lay evidence was good including the email(from experience) I am going to attempt to get the 214’s before I receive a SOC.
With this new claim I will be submitting the package will be much better than my first now that I’m educated with the VA and their antics.

I had a Vet who claimed for Hep C. He got a tattoo at DaNang @ 0dark thirty after waaaaay too much booze. The tat had too much titty showing so he had the Navy Corpsman on the ship cut it off over a six-month period and keep sewing it up. VA said no record of tattoo on SF 89 exit physical. He got his 3 Marine buds and the Navy corpsman to buddy letter him. The rater said no dice. No one could remember back that far and besides, no proof of serving on the same ship. He rounded up their 214s and they all said USS Aegis. It was also on the list of ships that touched land in RVN. Bingo-100% for HCV and DM II.

Sir grahambo, good day to you. have an ILP question, no real urgency. Have filed with ILP attempting to obtain a small tractor for a hobby that predates my illness. Saw a post sometime back that seemed to indicate that this is not possible due to the ability to drive a tractor on the road. Can you shed any light on the subject, as I said this is not a emergency by any standard,Have until Nov 2018 to file appeal. Thank you and bless you for your efforts for the fellow vets David J Murphy

Sir, I surely could use some help. I am the wife of a retired USArmy vet, who now had dementia. He served two tours in Viet Nam -1967-68 and 1971-72. He was in Saigon, Cam Ran Bay, Da Nang and all over, putting up communication sites. The latter tour he was an advisor. He is hearing impaired with a 20% rating, Tachycardia 10% and Tendinitis/ulnar problem of the right wrist, 10%. He suffered a stroke in 2001, (clot in the brain, which bled). He was left right side impaired with seizures. Right hip replacement in 2003 after a fall. Another fall in 2016 with broken femur. Had a plate, screws and chains put in to mend. He has developed many other problems. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s several years ago and has had slight tenors since the early 90’s. He has Afib, stenosis and many other problems. He is now 83 years old and I am his caregiver. We have a DAV VSO out of Montgomery Al, however I don’t seem to understand or find the help I need. My husband worked on his claims for years and did not get very far, with many rejections. Now I have taken up the mantle, as he can no longer understand how to do any of this. As the full time caregiver I have so little time to sit at the computer with 4 boxes of files and concentrate on what my next step should be. Do you think you could give me some advice? I would appreciate this very much.

My fiancee had a stroke/service connected from stage II hypertension. It left him blind. Was in hospital almost two months. While in hospital it was recommended to replace tub for shower as recommended by OT, PT and Dr. Case Manager at hospital said shower is replaced first then Reimbursed. I have found out post installed shower not so. Is there anyway to appeal to get reimbursement?

Yes. You would file a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) with the VA and seek remuneration. The blindness allows you service connection at the SMC L level for blindness. You should apply for the SAH grant for the tub. They should have told you this when it occurred but that’s VA for you.

Father was active duty from 1976-1979 went to Fort Dix for basic training then traveled to Wahwia, HI as well as Busan, Korea. While in Hawaii my father worked in the warehouse. 1980-1981 my father sought medical attention after completing his contract with the usarmy because he wasn’t feeling well, ended up finding out that he had lymphomblatic lymphoma stage 4 and passed in December 1983.. I have been trying to do some research to see if his death was service connected. VA denied his claim in 1983 before it was concluded he passed.

You would be free to obtain all his records at the NPRC in St. Louis. MO. if you desired. As for whether it was service connected, that is moot now. Your mother would have had to assume his place in the claim. The law states that a claim is a request (written) for benefits. Absent any appeal or attempt to assume the claimant status, the claim died. Likewise, you have no standing yourself to file as an offspring. Your mother has standing and could “reopen” a claim for benefits with new and material evidence since a claim had been filed prior to his demise in 1983.

Only the spouse has standing unless the dependent has a recognized AO disease. As of the present, only Spina Bifida is recognized. If Lisa doesn’t suffer that, she has no standing. Had her father remarried for over a year after the death of her mother (before 1983) that new spouse would have standing to file, though.

Mr Collins, I talked with Mr. Mooney, your former attorney. He indicated he received the money you mention as EAJA fees for representing you before the VA twenty years ago. You never followed through with him to pursue your claims. Perhaps you need to try again. I’m sure if there is a story here, an attorney would pick it up in a heartbeat. As I mentioned in my email, I am unable to help currently due to my caseload.

The response we received does not meet the minimum level of detail needed for VA to seek assistance from the U.S. Army and Joint Service Records Research Center (JSRRC).

Sorry for the confusion, this letter came from another issue. I actually just recently re-opened a claim which included one for PTSD that is in remand at RO. When I called the RO, they said they weren’t the one’s that sent that letter and that it must’ve come from another office. Actually it came from the Evidence Intake Center in Newnan, GA. I actually spoke with someone in my RO who was working on my claim. I know this because he called me about the claim after I had contacted my Congressional representative. He said that my stressor event seemed weak to him because it wasn’t specific enough. After some research I provided him another more detailed statement today through ebenfits, which he verified that he had. Sorry for the confusion on the last post.

Fill out a VA form 21-0781 report of Stressor. You have to be anally correct on where and when the stressor occurred. It would be best to research it on the internet to get the date within sixty days for the JSCRURR to research it. The outfit ( 1973rd Comm. Sq. or USS Vincennes ) the AO (I Corps central highlands). You get the idea. You can’t just say “I think it was around Christmas of 67 but it could have been 1968”.

Hello Asknod, I read your book and it was very informative. It kinda makes this process seem not so hopeless. Anyway, I had a question regarding my claim and what you feel the potential outcome could be…
By the way, this claim was remanded by the BVA for further development. Does that matter?
Here what the judge said: REMAND
The Board finds that further development of the record is needed for proper consideration of the issue on appeal. The appellant asserts that during his training at Camp Lejeune, he was exposed to contaminated drinking water, and contends that his claimed psychiatric disability is related to such exposure…
VA Compensation and Pension Service Training Letter 11-03 indicates that persons residing or working at the U.S. Marine Corps Base at Camp Lejeune from the mid-1950s to 1987 were potentially exposed to drinking water contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), incloding benzene, Vinyl Chloride, trichloroethylene (TCE) or tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, or PCE). The Letter also provides that service connection for a disability caused by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune requires evidence of a current disease, evidence of service at Camp Lejeune during the period of contamination, and a medical nexus between the two, justified with a rational scientific explanation.
The appellant’s service records confirm that on ACDTRA he was stationed at Camp Lejeune (falling within the range of subjects identified as potentially exposed to VOCs during such service. His VA treatment records show that he has a history of depression and has received VA treatment for such disability.
The appellant has not been afforded a VA examination in connection with this claim. Given the circumstances outlined above, the Board finds that the low threshold standard for determining when VA is obligated to provide an examination (under McLendon v. Nicholas, 20 Vet. App. 79, 81 (2006)), is met and that a remanded for an examination to secure an advisory medical opinion in this matter is necessary…
I finally received a hard copy of my recent C&P exam. I had to travel to the actual VAMC in DC to retrieve it even though I submitted a paper request about a month ago. Anyway, here are the results… Please tell me what you think my chances of receiving a favorable rating are. My claim was remanded back to the VARO by the BVA for further development and a C&P exam. Here are the results…
ICD code: 309.28 (F43.23)
Mental Disorder: Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood
Under #3 Occupational and social impairment
[X] Occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity is checked
For VA rating purposes, check all symptoms that apply to the Veteran’s diagnosis:
[X] Depressed mood
[X] Anxiety
[X] Suspiciousness
[X] Chronic sleep impairment
[X] Mild memory loss, such as forgetting names, directions or recent events
[X] Impaired judgement
[X] Disturbances of motivation and mood
[X] Difficulty in establishing and maintaining work and social relationships
[X} Difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances including work or a work like setting
[X] Impaired impulse control such as unprovoked irritability with periods of violence
Remarks: The diagnosis obtained was based on the criteria contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders -5 (DSM-5)
TYPE OF MEDICAL OPINION PROVIDED: [ MEDICAL OPINION FOR DIRECT SERVICE CONNECTION ]
a. The condition claimed was at least as likely as not (50% or greater probability) incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event or illness.
b. Based on this examination and veteran’s current symptoms described in the examination report, the veteran meets diagnostic criteria for Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood (with alcohol use) as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5). Therefore, the current diagnosis is at least as likely as not related to the veteran’s fear of being deployed to the Gulf War during his Active Reserve Duty Training in 1990.
During my C&P exam, my main point of contention was that I suffered Neurobehavioral effects from consuming contaminated drinking water while at stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC back in 1986. I did mention to the doctor that back in 1990 During the Gulf War and while attached to an IRR unit, I feared that I would be deployed to fight in Afghanistan. However, this point was secondary to the Lejeune issue. Here is what she wrote…
“Veteran also reported that he was stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1986 for training. A correspondence statement in the veteran’s medical records indicate that he was stationed in the Warehouse Unit (3051) for training (ACDUTRA). As a result, he reported that he qualified for the Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012. Veteran reported that he suffers from Neurobehavioral Effects.” Veterans mental health symptoms started approximately nine years after he was stationed at Camp Lejeune. While medical records indicate treatment for a mental disorder, no evidence is provided supporting a causal link between the veteran’s mental disorder and exposure to contaminated water while stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1986. Veteran’s medical records have been reviewed and an opinion cannot be rendered without resorting to speculation regarding whether the veteran’s mental health symptoms are related to being stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1986.
Your opinion in this matter would greatly be appreciated.

Here’s the full meal deal, Kevin. If you read my book, you absorbed the most important aspect-the need for a nexus or Independent Medical Opinion (IMO). The key word is “independent”-as in “not authored by a VA doctor”. Perhaps more on point, your own doctor/psychiatrist/psychologist’s positive opinion on the correlation between the neurobehavioral effects and the contaminated water is what you need. It has to be extremely well-reasoned, too. Read above in the Widgets (black area below the medal) about the Nexus Bible.Now read what Dr. Feelgood wrote:
“While medical records indicate treatment for a mental disorder, no evidence is provided supporting a causal link between the veteran’s mental disorder and exposure to contaminated water while stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1986.”
In VAspeak, that’s [email protected]. I suppose the good news is they are going to service connect you for the Anxiety disorder and you’ll get a 30%, 50% or 70% rating for it. VA generally low balls you so expect a 30% to start out. File the appeal and get moving up to 50% etc.
Best of luck

I really appreciate your input. However, I posted this same scenario on other sites like Hadit.com and am getting very mixed responses. Some say congrats and some say no way. In fact, here is a quote from one of them… By the way I am not questioning your expertise, just wondering. This is my first real bit of satisfaction that I’ve received from the VA (the elusive C&P exam), so I am obsessing over it. Here’s the quote…
“I respectfully disagree with any chance of service connection at this point.
Unless your SMrs were thoroughly reviewed by the examiner and the PTSD diagnosis had more rationale to it ,as within those STRs,and maybe there is more to the exam results that are not posted here..
In June I replied to your other topic with the Camp LeJuene presumptives
http://community.hadit.com/topic/67266-camp-lejeune-horror-story/
and the fact that illnesses not on this presumptive list will need a strong medical nexus.
You will need an IMO/IME (Independent Medical Opinion/Exam) that has a full medical rationale that your MH issues are solely due to the contaminated water at Camp LeJuene, with no other etiology.The IMO/IME criteria is here at hadit and needs to be followed to the letter.
I am baffled by the examiner’s logic as to PTSD.
When PTSD is diagnosed after July 2010 (the new PTSD regs came out then) they are applied to post 2010 claims and if there is any reason to consider other causation for PTSD , then the claim is developed further on that level.
This BVA case reveals the 2010 PTSD criteria. I have posted that regulation here many times and need to re post it, it is hard to find. Basically this is it:
http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/view.jsp?FV=http://www.va.gov/vetapp00/files2/0010597.txt
“Fear of hostile military or terrorist activity” means that a Veteran experienced, witnessed, or was confronted with an event or circumstance that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of the Veteran or others, such as exposure to an improvised explosive device; vehicle-imbedded explosive device; incoming artillery, rocket, or mortar fire; grenade; small arms fire, including suspected sniper fire; or attack upon friendly military aircraft, and the Veteran’s response to the event or circumstance involved a psychological or psycho-physiological state of fear, helplessness, or horror. Id.
/ The Veteran’s lay testimony may establish the occurrence of the claimed in-service stressor where the stressor claimed by the Veteran is related to the Veteran’s fear of hostile military or terrorist activity, the claimed stressor is consistent with the places, types, and circumstances of the Veteran’s service, and a VA psychiatrist or psychologist, or one with whom VA has contracted, confirms that the claimed stressor is adequate to support a diagnosis of PTSD and the Veteran’s symptoms are related to the claimed stressor, as long as there is no clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f)(3).”
I think the C & P doctor focused on ‘fear of’ in these regulations but never read the rest of the regulation.
But again maybe there was something in your SMRs that supports her diagnosis and opinion regarding ‘fear of’ deployment.”
Hence my confusion!
The good news it that yesterday my personal psychiatrist has agreed to provide the IMO needed to include in my file and said it will be ready next week. I have given him medical records, articles and the VA training letter 11-03 regarding Lejeune which talking about the nexus letter.

The written assessment that concurs with the dx of bent brain is there twice. . If that DBQ was filled out by a VA ordered C&P, and for argument’s sake, it was conducted by a QTC doctor, then yes. You won just on bent brain. Now arguendo, any further disability of a neuropsychiatric etiology, even if chemically induced, is precluded from further remuneration under 4.14. Watch.

Never ever expect VA DROs, or even their janitors for that matter, to step up to the plate. The M-21 computer rarely coughs up any extra entitlements and DROs are notorious for top sheeting a c-file. The interesting new feature with VBMS digital entry is that you can “resubmit” the c&p and point to it to draw their attention to it now rather than at the BVA or the CAVC. The idea is make your c-file a target rich environment for a win. You can seed it with the stuff that will help you win if it’s labeled Exhibit ________ You can write ‘duplicate’ copy on the bottom but refer to it on the NOD or F-9 as the pertinent evidence showing entitlement date. They will go look for their copy of that and then a little light bulb comes on over their heads (figuratively speaking). Make it happen locally. The BVA is horribly constipated currently.

Certain things you cannot lose. You cannot lose your cirrhosis. Your liver may heal somewhat but you will never be whole. As such, your ratings may stabilize as the ever-increasing liver damage will cease. VA will take into account the remission/cure only if it occurs at a VAMC and is in their medical records. If you are seeing private doctors, VA will never find out. By law, you are not required to keep them up to speed on it unless asked during a claim for increase. If they ask for records, you are legally obligated to provide them. Ergo, no file for increase = no decrease. At about 19 years and 8 months VA will reel you in to determine if you are better/worse and attempt a reduction. This is because if you hit 20 years with no check up under the hood. your rating is protected forever against reduction. VA hates that when that happens.

I have an appeal that was Remanded due to an “incomplete factual record”. Here’s the run down In 2007 I was being medically discharged from the Army, while talking to one of the outgoing medical physicians I stated that I had sleep disturbances which caused me to wake up and roll to my side to be able to sleep. I also stated that I had chronic loud snoring. These conditions had their onset while deployed to Iraq in 2003. The physician didn’t bother ordering a sleep study. 1 yr 8 months after my discharge from the Army I went to a Dr at the local VA clinic and told them about my trouble waking up at night gasping for air. This time the Dr cared enough to schedule a sleep study. During the pre examination the sleep study researchers noted I weighed 207 PDS and stood 6 3″. This was March 2009 . During my examination for compensation the VA examiner reported that my sleep apnea was due to weight gain since I weighed 242 by this time however she discounted the fact that I only weighed 207 during the sleep study and that was one pound less then her noted weight gain period 208 to 242 since March 2008. The BVA remanded the appeal ordering the RO to address the weight issues and the fact that I made statements concerning airway problems prior to separation. How likely is this to come out in my favor? How long of a wait am I looking at? Date of Remand September 25 2014.

Any disease or injury you suffer in the military is compensable. One important consideration is that you will have to defend it if it is not in your STRs. Simply claiming ED is not money in the bank. You must still get a doctor to say this. Few will as it is still a new theory unheard of by most. Hell, if you didn’t complain or get it into your records that you had sleep apnea in the service, you’ll have a hard time prevailing.

I already got a copy of your e-book through Amazon. I was able to find it because I had the title
from your blog, but I noticed it is impossible to find it at Amazon if you only use the search option
“veterans benefits, claims……..etc. Perhaps is your intention, but if its not, it would be nice for other Vets to have an option of reading it when they have not visited your blog. Veterans benefits for example pops up 5 pages, and no signs of AskNod.
Take care.

You never abandon a claim. If your diagnosis for one illness is suddenly changed, you are not to blame. You are not a doctor ergo you are not capable of making the correct diagnosis. If you refile, you lose your original filing date. Stick with the original diagnosis and claim and let VA correct it. The intentions were in good faith, thus the claim, regardless of the diagnosis, is valid. As for a Veterans Service Officer, why don’t you do it yourself. Your odds are just as good and this website can guide you along. This way you can keep your VSO and wait for his health to return. It’s difficult to say where your claim is (what stage) from the info provided.

I have a question about labs done by the VA. In May I had some blood work done at the local VA Clinic. These labs are important because I have a dx. of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The labs came back indicating that my cancer was back. The Hematologist/oncologist scheduled a c-scan that came back negative. She informed me that my cancer was still in remission. I had nothing further to do with her., please f/u with your primary doctor. The next lab work came back perfect. The primary doctor said the labs drawn in May were wrong. I would have accepted that except when I look back over the last two years, my labs have been slowly creeping up….not to mention I am fatique alot, night sweats are severe, etc. No one seems to have the answer. Finally when my feet started swelling, I was scheduled to have a echocardiogram…that was a joke. It came back saying things like…”Unable to see”. It was’nt definite about anything. It’s as though someone is covering their A__. So here I am again. I noticed now they are writing Chronic Kidney Disease on my Chart. The VA/ PCP refused to write any nexus letters to help my claim, starting they were told not to. Do you think I should go outside of the VA and get another doctor to check me over? Doug

Please in all seriousness go out and get a real doctor to look at you. VA has no interest in taking care of you unless you are about 40% for all the things that you are NOT service connected for. They sat and watched me balloon into Octomom for 8 days and continued to tell my wife I was just “swelling” a bit from the surgery. When the staples started ripping out, she informed them “we” were leaving and to disconnect me from the IVs. That brought a response. The next doctor in the door ordered surgery STAT. VA teaches its doctors to only focus on what you complain about. Until gangrene sets in, a minor laceration is just that-minor.
In VAland, everything is speculative until the autopsy. Then it will be clinically proven that whatever you died of was not service connected.
The same applies for C&P exams. Doctors in 1990 could see the impending Crohn’s disease building up but I was there for a back exam-ergo the back was analyzed and I was not apprised of the intestinal problems until I keeled over 5 years later.

Always remember, VA doctors are instructed not to opine on causality. They can only write about your current condition. Some doctors who are merely affiliated with a VAMC are free to do this, however, to make it work, you have to submit your contemporary Service medical records to them to review. If you don’t, VA will say their doctor’s nexus is more probative than your doctor’s uninformed speculation. Then you’ll get the denial notice.

Did many of you know that liver disease will remain silent for years on regular blood liver panel test? My non-alcoholic liver disease was not discovered until they did a ultrasound. The other doctors blew it off as normal and said to me over 50 percent of American’s seniors had ongoing liver disease with ascites without knowing or asking of my chemical exposures. I would not have known had I not demanded a copy of the lab reports. Well if it is non-alcoholic it certainly must be related to hazmat exposures or diabetes (fatty liver disease). How about 2-4D, trichloroethylene, perichloroethylene, benzene, and vinyl chloride (Agent Orange and cleaning solvents) exposures. Please include your OSHA hazmat sheets with your claims with for those conditions identified within those documents if you were exposed? I’m signing off soon now I have pretty much won my 100 percent compensable, VAOIG has not knocked on my door to arrest me and I did not ask for a penny other than ask the secretary and my senator for assistance in resolving my allegations and claims against the VARO.

I also said due to recent changes via bush, vets can now obtain a atty to assist in obtaining va benefits, this is very important regarding the length of time to resolve a claim. true it took me over seven yrs to win? however this was without a atty and back then we could not hire a atty. it could be feasible to hire a atty asap or after nod, or wait years for appeals & remands, at that point if the vets must pay 20% or more backpay to the now hired atty. cases involves legalities and vets must prove their cases in order to prevail. imeo is a key factor in decision making, the veteran whole life is on trial, not just military, c life, employment history, schools, police records, everything. my reason for mention attorneys is to help the veteran possible cut the wait time in half, remember it may be beneficial to hire a attorney early in the claim process. if the funds are not in your bank, you have not won.

You need three things- a disease (or risk) in service; the same disease now and a nexus letter from an approved MD, PA, ARNP to connect the two. A long-winded diatribe about racial disparity including a buddy letter saying he watched you get flattened at Naha Air Base will not carry the day. Read the site. Find what you need. It’s all there.

She also went 3 times to sick call,for skin rash, also had IV in Hospital for facial cellulitis. 3 more times to sick call for stomach pain it says on her sepration form 93-102( yes) to following ?? swollen and painful joints, ear nose and throat trouble, Skin diseases, stomach ,liver, or gallstone all those boxes ck( yes), now what I have read that if there are any signs in first 8 weeks , that the skin rash, stomach pain, can be early signs,along with others, also, on sepaation from 93-102 it says LRQ stomach pain UNSOLVED, oh this is not to mention that she had A BUNCH of dental work done, 4 wisdom teeth pulled in boot camp, she was in basic in Apr 1981 she had liver transplant Oct 2011 just about the 30 years,she read a news paper where a young lady won her Jet Gun claim, Leigh always did wonder where she got it , so she filed for Jet Gun, but maybe it was the dental, maybe the needle sticks, but as I have been told when you go back and point this out it looks like you are just trying to get over. As of now there is no liver rejection, enzyme up to 400 range. Life is good and I pray that everyone WINS cyst,
maybe the IV in Hospital, the one thing I do know in my heart that it was in the Navy where she came into contact, what I say is she had it , they did not know , and did not treat, but I guess I’m looking at it like why can’t you the VA see it , as of now liver in not rejecting, but enzymes are up to 400,

In 1979 the VA as a agency was removed from the Pentagon and elevated to a department within the US Government with a Secretary and court of appeals on the same level as the district courts. The end results were less than satisfactory? The cost of wounded, ill and aging veterans funding was removed from the Pentagon’s cost of waging war for funding. In my opinion all that we veterans must do is keep pursuing our claims and hopefully one can prevail. As follows are some of my comments on this subject of pension and compensation claims:
1. Mr. Boenher you can save time by asking Ms. Patty Murray (D-WA) those questions instead of making manusha and sending your inquiry to some SES understudy. Unfortunately Mr. Shinseki does not have complete control of his own VA Department? He’s a political nominee and Senate confirmee the same as his deputies? He’s akin to a ship in the water without a rudder? They spent your Congressional appropriations for vets on other government follies?
2. Mr. Boehner should take note and ask the US Congress to rescind the VRJA of 1979 and fire the justices on the VA Court because they have grown to comfy contaminating veteran’s law with criminal, commercial, and personal injury awards not related to wartime and military service. The Federal District Courts could now replace this court with the the same function if this court was abolished for their indifference and malconduct towards veterans’s claims? Backlogs are generated because the fed at large refuses to pay up?
3. Mr. Secretary Shinseki it’s greater than you? The fraud imposed by your human resources and health care administratiors from bogus US OPM Merit Pay awards? It’s the prevailing atmosphere of abuse for which exists from the protection afforded by sovereign immunity and malfeasance, and outright fraud?
4. I would say since the VJRA Action of Rep. Sonny Montgomery of 1979 the VA administrators have been playing on the sympathy of the greater public for funding of the Veterans Affairs dollars and using those Congressional appropriations for other follies while allowing compensation claims to languish? It was General Douglas McArthur that marched federal troops on Camp Anacostia to disperse protesting veterans with clubs, bayonets, dogs and tear gas in the 30s. Look at who has been appointed to the judiciary at the veterans court and confirmed by the US Senate?
5. Boehner says veterans’ claims system is broken House Speaker says system for veterans’ disability claims is broken, cites ‘shameful’ failures By Lisa Cornwell, Associated Press | Associated Press: The problems are greed, jealousy and theft? It began with the first Secretary of the Agency Charles R. Forbes being jailed in Leavenworth Prison, ending recently with Prater, Parker and McGill federal convictions for fraud and theft. Aside from that I would say Mr. Geither gave or used these appropriations for the Pentagon’s folly at least to discriminate between current and past veterans? One should not send tropps to war if the VA cannot provide benefits to all veterans?
6. Thank you.

Only found out about air-gun causing hepc last year, I have been fighting since 2006 for hepc compensation. First thought it was from oral surgery in mash unit S. Korea, in 1975. I have since sent in all I can find on the subject to va. I have been denide and appealed several times. my appeal is now in DC. I do not have a NEXUS letter on my condition . I get a letter 2 days ago saying they are sending my case out for expert opinion. Is thier anyway to get a NEXUS letter by sending my records to a vet friendly doc? I only got them after my BVA hearing, they were “lost” up untill that time… I had a unknown sickness and was hospitalized with severe gastromical problem. I was treated also for several VD episodes. I understand the VA links sex with hepc infection also.
I was treated last year for my hepc with good results, no detection found so far and will be considerd cured if it stays away for 6 months.

The Twilight Zone is correct. HCV is not the issue nor drug abuse. We are speaking of secondary compliations with SC Type II diabetes or any legitimate claim for that matter? Whereas the regional office (insiders) ran a fraud ring for 5 years and 15 individuals including a GS-12 and the local DAV Rep were prosecuted as a result at the Louisville VARO. Have you not read about the exploits of McGill and Parker? Now factor all those claims both good and bad that went through this office and tell me VA has no obligation to case review each and every one submitted which was denied during that period? Tell me that no-one is responsible for waste, fraud and abuse up through the VA court? I do believe you about the necktie and GS-14. Federal civilans are eligible under Title 5 for up to three pay increases each fiscal year until step 5.

Recall that once the Puerto Rico office was run out of the Cloumbia,S.C VARO. There was a huge fiasco there in the 80s over corruption and the same circumstances (bogus ratings based on graft and kickbacks). Everyone got a promotion and a transfer. Repair order? Why, a shiny new VARO in sunny San Juan. VA corruption knows no bounds and they are shameless. Every time the OIG catches someone with their hand in the till, the official press release is “We have taken steps to make sure this never happens again. It was merely an aberration and does not reflect the high commitment our employees have for our Veterans”.

Thank you for the insight. Just got the results from running them up the flag pole and three newly appointed Democratic justices after 8 months and 35 dockets beyond mine at the federal circuit dismissed it because they could not find a correlation of events even though I attached a prosecution sheet from the lower court along with my appeal. Appears between the clerk, VA Philadelphia lawyer, DOJ, three Democrats on the bench they calculated a denial of my case and claim so the VA money could be better used elsewhere by Mr. Geither. I did not forgive them. They forgave themselves and ignored their own corruption at each court. As they say? Win some and lose some! Here we go again just packaged under a different name. I do not plan on allowing the corruption issue to go away on pending claims. Democrats supporting other Democrats. Treasure you…

Asknod, is there such a thing as a Presumptive rating? I am just trying to understand. I know for a fact that in my inservice medical records there is a post surgical report that says I was given 7 units of blood during the surgery to repair an ulcer the size of a silver dollar which ruptured while I was doing my job, 52B20, at the motor pool in 1972. It also reports the 105* fever I spiked three days after surgery that took three days to get under control. Which is where I feel I contracted cerebral attaxia, which the VAMC in Fayetteville AR just diagnosed me with. I have the original document in my possesion.
I feel that this document has been overlooked or is not where it should be, otherwise I am sure a rating for this would have given. It is known that anyone who had a transfusion prior to 1982 is at high risk for HCV. Should I send this evidence to the BVA or will it just clog things up?
I am going to file a claim for SCC for this attaxia and see what happens then. I made my threat of going to the CVAC for a writ so lets give that a few days to see if anything happens. Thanks brother you are great for what you do here! Rob

Perhaps finding a lawyer who is willing to go the normal route and/or pro bono might be in the cards. When I needed help it was a demand for copies of everything in my C-file that moved the VA to comply and although I am sure I ticked them off I don’t care. It took six years of denials and total BS to get me mad enough to react. Never give up the fight though. Were you ever exposed to blood other than the air guns? I firmly believe that it can be spread via airguns but that is a tough nut to crack at this point in time.

If you file for Hep-C as being NOT service related why would you file in the first place? Scroll through the comments and get plenty of feedback from the site. NOD will help you through the process and once you see what the VA is looking at as “risk factors” eliminate the ones that do not apply to your personal situation and go from there. If the ONLY conclusion is that your Hep was caused by air gun injection then that is a zebra of a different stripe but certainly not insurmountable. I am 57 and just beat them but I recieved the “gift” in service somewhere around 74-76. The only saving grace in my situation was that I was a medical tech in the service. I am 98% positive it was air guns but the alternative was easier for the VA to swallow in that there were needle sticks documented. Do not give up the fight and let them win, it may seem like you are lost and spinning your wheels but go through the site and we all work as a team on this site.

Well, all I can say is you came to the right place. I’ve had a lot of success with Vets on HCV and other diseases. I’ve finally accepted that there are others besides Vietnam Vets who I can help. That includes you. Remember, its no different getting service connected for hcv than it is for an ingrown toenail. We’ll teach you how. The site, in conjunction with my new book, has been very instrumental in teaching why you lose and what you need to win. Read about WGH’s travails on this for years. AZJENSMOM is another. she did it for 8 long years for her Marine husband. Once she figured it out, bingo. 240%. I won’t say it can teach you to win, but I guarantee it will teach you how not to lose. That’s half the battle at the VA.

They are trying to deny and close every claim by saying my hep c was not encountered in the service when it was. Why do they ask you to raise your hand and swear to any and everything there, but when you get out of there, they deny they ever saw you, unless you die. Then you are recognized.

Leigh , contacted a lawyer, he pointed out that the last C&P exam was done by and RN not Doctor, I just took for granted that it was a Doctor that was pushing and pulling, on my wife, and RN , one thing that I read may have been on this site when you walk in to C&P exam ask if the susposed Doc has read your file if not , get up and ask for another appointment, after they read your file for them to coment on what is in the file you would think that if anything Neg. that they would have to discuse the Neg. in file before they could coment on it, oh yes need spell check on this

Charles, I am not an eexpert by any stretch of the imagination but here is how I would proceed. First of all run away from the VSO’s as fast as possible. Get copies of ALL docs sent directly to you and never let them out of your sight. When responding to the VA ALWAYS send them copies and via registered mail with return receipt. Secondly I would approach AMVETS or American Legion for assistance. And lastly, NEVER, give up because that is exactly what they want us to do. Every time they turn you down send them a NOD and force them to get off their butts.

I have been trying for several years to get the va to say i got hep c while i was in service along with several others claim but with ni avail. I went to another vso a couple days ago he said it was imposible for me to get the hep c even with me being in the hospital with acute hep for 29 days while still in the milatary. Also said there was no way i could get get anything for my hearing because they gave me a whisper test when i was discarged. should i not forsee this nyfarther as ive been fighting for it since 2004 when i found out i had hep c. Just need some advice as my vso hasnt help me much at all. i also have a claim on my neck as i had a bucket of water droped on my head and also hurt my back. been denies on all claims a couple of times the hep c about 4 times. What should i do forget it or what. thank you charles crump

Randy’s advice is sound. To win, you need to suck every nugget of info out of the postings here. Start with Introduction, Tips and Tricks and study nexus letters section. Everything needed to win is here. I started with nothing, knowledge-wise, in 1994. When I tried again in 2007, I decided to figure out what it was I was missing. Duh! A nexus letter. My VSO never clued me in on it. Then he got mad when I asked about it like everyone knew except me.

Just received news today that hep c is service connected at 30% …so it’s a win. Definitely having a nexus helps and haven’t been to the BVA yet.:)

I am currently awaiting my hcv/ii/fibrosis/depression rating for compensation, is the standard hcv 30%? did you have to wait long after receiving your bva/hcv granted letter, for back pay compensation?
thank you for your support

Dottie: I would recommend you file a NOD on the latest decision ASAP. This serves two purposes 1) Gets your notification date to the VA out there and 2) If your Hep-C worsens you will have to fight another uphill battle. Recommend you go to the website, look under CFR’s and find the comp tables to see where your “DOCUMENTED” ailments place you. Just speaking from past experience. Congrats on the win and keep their heels to the fire.

Robert, you need to first discover where you encountered the disease since Hep-C does not normally present itself for 20-30 years as I understand it. You have however fell into the right spot. There is a plethora of information here to be utlized by all Vets. Please read through the blogs on the website, learn from each and by all means email directly to NOD for all of your questions. His advice runs from enlightening the novice to spittin out more rules, regs, court cases ec than a southern Baptist after church on Sunday. Welcome and good luck.

I dont know hoe the va or its examiners can base there decisions on non existing evidence when the evidence of record clearly shows they are wrong.
I went to ac&p and saw a lpn or rn not sure which but she cited cdc statistics and said it would be mere speculation and said i had a history of blood transfussion at birth and seven years old.
Well I could not find any record showing it ever happened and I even contacted the hosp I was born at but no record exist.
They denied my claim on these basis and said i did not have a iv while in service which is wrong,my smrs show it did happen. Well anyway the docs at the tampa va stated in my va medical records ” after interview with dr. b and I, we feel that the patiant likely got his hcv from injector gun use while in service” this i believe will help with a dor or appeal.
They also stated i have had it for at least 30-35 years.
They took alot of blood to do test since I went from a stage 3of 4 to a stage 0 intwo years and feel theres something in my blood thats affecting the virus. If its true and they can come up with something to help others then I would be very happy.

Saumyaasiny Vijayan suffers from Spastic Triplegia Cerebral Palsy, but the young champion is not letting her disability get in the way of "shining bright" in life.
Mon Oct 25 2021
Hey folks! My name is Saumyaasiny Vijayan. I am 22 and I have a neurological condition called as Spastic Triplegia Cerebral Palsy.
My family consists of a strict father, a mother who always pampers me, as well as an elder sister and brother who always instruct me to do this and that. Despite my physical condition, I was never treated as a special child at home.
Spastic Triplegia Cerebral Palsy is a neurological condition which involves insufficient oxygen supply to a part of the brain resulting in physical abnormality. At the age of 3, my parents enrolled me in a spastic school which had all the facilities I needed, such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
However, there were no any curricular activities at school, as all I did was watch television and color. After observing me, my parents knew that I was mentally normal, so they decided to send me to a normal pre-school when I was five. I was excited to get a normal education.
I was then looking forward to joining primary school, and the first challenge in my life began. Yes, I got bullied when I was seven. After my father (who was a teacher in the same school) found out about it, it was smooth sailing from then. Going to school daily was really fun, as I was famously known as the "teacher's daughter".
I made sure I finished all my homework on time, as if I did not, the teachers would update my father about it. I thoroughly enjoyed my primary school days. I studied round the clock for my Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), and I was awarded third place in the category of students with special needs in Johor (in the year 2011).
Then came PT3 (Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3), of which I was the pioneer batch, and SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia).
During my school days, I did not have the chance to hang out with my friends. This is because they were afraid to come out with me since I'm disabled. Nevertheless, my friends were quite helpful, especially when it came to understanding subjects we have just learned in school.
Today, I am a final year student in Bachelor’s of Psychology (Honours) at Raffles University in Johor Bahru. I am also an amature public speaker who has represented the Toastmasters club for the International and Table Topics speech contest during the term of 2020/2021.
I would say that I have a great love for pets, nature and music. I am a very straightforward person and a girl who loves to make friends. You will realize this once you try to make a conversation with me. I do not like to be compared with others. This is because I believe that everyone is unique in their own way.
I had to prove my abilities in every bit of my life since I was young and I still have a lot more to work on. All I need is some strength to strive through it. To the people who are reading this, remember... life is never easy. You are the master of your battles! So, stand tall and shine as bright as you want to!

So far as advertised, this appliance does exactly what it was designed to do. I've used it for basic frozen desserts and like the results. As I become more familiar with it's capability, I'll use the recipe book do make other exotic desserts.

I have type 2 diabetes so I am always looking for desserts without sugar. I froze strawberries, blueberries and chunks of bananas. Took them all out of the freezer 30 minutes (not 10) ahead of time. Added about 2 Tbsp Yoplait yogurt for substance. My mistake was that the yogurt had been in my freezer and once defrosted there was just too much water. Next time I'll use yogurt right out of the refrigerator. Other than that it came out delicious! I also added a topping of Reddi Whip which made it even better. I didn't find it hard to clean at all. It comes apart quite easily and I washed them all with very hot tap water. Like most kitchen appliances made overseas these days I don't expect it to last real long; it's mostly plastic. But if it holds out over this summer I'll be happy.

Received ours today. Washed it up as instructed and used frozen strawberries for the first use. This think works as described... and the frozen strawberries were yummy. We are getting ready to go buy alot of different fruit to really try it out. So far we love it!
Bethany R.
I love this thing, we use it almost every night. I bought an ice cube tray and freeze up pumpkin, sugar free apple sauce and fat free light yogurt for some great desserts. I'll be buying one for a friend as a gift cause I love this thing.
Roy V.
This works great and my wife loves it. The machine comes with a nice guide and sample things to make. This is definitely worth getting if you want to make your own frozen fruit desserts. I am sure there are tons of things to try out there, and this makes it so easy!
Sarah J.
My kids love this!! It makes such a wonderful dessert. It is easy enough all of my kids can use it, ages 9-20, wouldn't recommend it for younger kids except with supervision because it is kind of hard to push the plunger. Great alternative to regular ice cream and so much more healthy :-)

Archief
2002 - 2003
The fonds consists of records relating to Hennessy’s 2003 MA thesis titled The Spirit of Collaboration: Exploring Critical Pedagogical Principles in Transforming the Museum Through Space and Time. Hennessy was interested in the relationships that developed between community members and museum staff during the process of putting together the Museum of Anthropology’s exhibit The Spirit of Islam, which ran from October 2001 to May 2002. Her purpose was to document the kinds of collaborative processes that occurred as the exhibit planning progressed in order to identify a model from which other museums working with communities might benefit.

Archief
1950 - 1958
The fonds consists of 7 photographs from a June 1958 centennial celebration in Alert Bay that Barwick described as having been ordered from a local cameraman. There are also 7 postcards that contain images of Alert Bay ca. 1949 or 1950 that were purchased by Barwick in the summer of 1958. Sixteen negatives were taken by Barwick at an excavation at Beach Grove in the Fraser River delta in June of 1957, likely done under the guidance of Charles Borden, a Lecturer and later Professor of Archaeology at UBC who studied the Beach Grove site from ca. 1955 to 1958. Notes on the envelope indicate these include images of D. N. Abbott, Colin McCafferty, and Nansi Swayze.

Africa: Rwanda is driving tourism Growth with MICE
Atqnews on October 17, 2016
Share on Facebook
The tourism sector has experienced dynamic growth and continued expansion particularly in African countries. Cross border travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes has become one of the fastest growing economic activities.
Tourism is no longer viewed as a seasonal event but rather a whole year round activity because it has incorporated the business aspect in its sagacity. Many people who travel nowadays are no longer doing so for the sole purpose of leisure.
Travel has become part of learning, networking and discovering new opportunities for doing business. Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE) have firmly placed itself at the centre of tourism as one of the key drivers of the tourism sector’s development and an important generator of income, employment and investment.
Taking stoke of what have recently transpired this year, Rwanda has hosted a number of tourists, thanks to the MICE activities. InMay 7 – 9, this year, Rwanda hosted Aviation Stakeholders Convention, an annual African Airlines Association (AFRAA) to spotlight the development of the aviation industry in Africa.
Over 400 representatives from major aviation organizations, including African airlines, civil aviation authorities, airports, and aircraft/engine manufacturers attended the event that was held at the Kigali Serena Hotel.
During the month of May 11 – 13, Rwanda also hosted Economic Forum on Africa which was the biggest global event and was attended by over 3,000 high profile delegates, influential political leaders and captains of industry delegates mulling over the continent’s development trajectory. The event was held at the Kigali Conference and Exhibition Center.
In June 13 – 19, we had 7th Africa Agriculture Science Week (AASW) organized by the Forum for Agriculture Research in Africa (FARA) and it normally takes place after every three years. The event spotlights the importance of science and technology in the agricultural industry. This event hosted about 1,500 stakeholders in African agricultural science, technology, and innovation.
In July we also hosted 2,000 delegates from across Africa to attend the African Union Summit. For the first time, African presidents who attended the summit used African passports, which were introduced by the African Union to promote solidarity and unrestricted movement across the continent.
In September 5 – 6 the same year, the Government of Rwanda in partnership with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) organized a Global Africa Investment Summit in which more than 2,000 delegates attended including entrepreneurs, company representatives, and investors, who converged in Kigali to discuss the advancement of regional trade and investment in Africa.
The summit provided a platform for African governments and business leaders to present projects to regional and international investors.
Early this October 4 – 5, wrapped up some of the main events for this year where at least 700 delegates, including hotel investors, government officials, business people, and hotel operators attended the Africa Hotel Investment Forum held at the Radisson Blu Hotel and the Kigali Convention Center.
As we enter the festive season, it is important to continue with the same spirit so that we can promote local tourism by encouraging domestic travel in Rwanda. Domestic tourism provides critical support to tourism operators in several areas of industry performance. A vibrant domestic tourism industry in Rwanda can generate visitor spending in slower shoulder and off season months.
Take one weekend and tour a place that you have never been to. This will boost our social fabric, promote small upcoming businesses, facilitate the generation of new business ideas and refresh our brains from routine work that we always get ourselves into passing day.
We are privileged to have good weather throughout the year, except for the last fairly warm months, and breath-taking destinations. However, going by the statistics, it indicates that only 20% of Rwandans have contributed to tourism revenues in the recent past.
Let us have more locals moving around this beautiful nation to visit the countless destinations the country is blessed with. I am sure we would not miss to learn some of the many things we might not have known about gorillas, national parks, lakes, national museums and many hidden fortunes of the Remarkable Rwanda!
All this would not have been possible, as the writer John Berger observes, if the architecture of everyday life – the social, political and physical infrastructure had not been rebuilt from the ground up!

An odd question. Has anyone coated any aluminum slid plates with Line-x? Not looking to "strengthen" them, just to make the aluminum less sticky when it comes to sliding over rocks. Sure the cost is up there and I've seen others add plastic to the skids but since line-x is harder than rhino I figured it would be worth a shot.

I would think truck bed liner would make sliding over rocks worse? Its a gritty almost grip tape like texture. And the rocks will dig into it eventually. Then you will have edges to catch and really stop any sliding. I have never had any issue with aluminum not sliding across rocks. I did get a poly skid plate last year and it got yanked right off. And that plastic is way thicker and harder than bedliner. Mine had deep scratches and eventually came off completely in a hard bottom out at a race last year.

Yeah I thought the same until I'd seen the line-x on a skid plate of a ford raptor. No where near as tacky as rhino lining, that stuff is very soft. I've seen poly sheets when I go out rock crawling (bolted on top of aluminum) but its to thick for anything I want to do. The raptor owner loves it and it's not very thick either.

I would think maybe for a full size truck where the aluminum could dent or snag alot easier maybe it would almost act like a padding that would help. But for atvs where the aluminum is very thick and the quad doesnt weigh really enough to put a hole in it. I dont see the need. But i guess for someone who blasts through a rocky area wide open and can put holes in there aluminum skids maybe? We dont have any areas that rocky around here. And i always slow down alittle through the small rocky areas we do encounter.

You'll open a train of thought , my buddy recently built some skid plates for his Can-Am , he used checker plate and has the checker down , maybe he should have flipped it over and had the checker up as it might cause a drag when skidded , but maybe it is more of a protection plate , that for some reason gets dubbed a skid plate , eh !

My issue is I dont blast through! I've been hung up in the past due to going to slow and the aluminum tends to grab vs just slide over with a plastic/poly plate. The Ricochet are pretty thick at 3/16" and uses 5052 h32 aluminum. So for my application was just thinking of adding a thin layer of something on top (bottom facing) of the metal to just aid in slippage without losing a lot of clearance and adding a lot of weight. One reason I asked about line-x, I've heard it can be applied relatively thin. Does anyone have any experience with them? I wouldn't dare try that DIY stuff, looks like a complete waste of time and money. Might try to find a thin sheet of UHMW

I have a Ricochet bottom frame protector ( LOL ) on my red 300 Fourtrax , it is heavy duty , I think I could block each end , stand on the middle and jump up and down -----one bad thing about the skid / protector plates is they hold dirt making it harder to clean and if you don't clean it , then the wet mud will sit in there against the frame and promote rust

I think their great and solid and I've had them on 3 of my quads but the wife has that 700# can am so that's the biggest reason I want to make the skid plate slide better. They are solid but if anyone has ever parked on a rock before the aluminum just doesn't slide as well

Hmm, just saw that Ricochet offers UHMW plastic for the bottom of their skids. Ha! I knew I wasn't nuts. Very cool. I just might look at something a bit thinner though, maybe 1/8" should do it

The mention of them holding mud and I just pulled one off of a sxs so I thought about it. lol About all I can add on this subject. I don't have enough rocks to worry about so I get rid of all my skids, for the holding debris reason.

Probably a couple 5 gal buckets laying there. The sxs are terrible at holding mud.

I tend to avoid the mud where I ride. If you miss any the next day you have to take a chisel to get it off

@Akunin is out in the rock country. The photo I'll post I don't think is in his area but he probably knows it. That mud puddle that I'm working on is a cattle machine. Mud from the lot, pasture, creeks, roads and everywhere. They get used daily for everything and very seldom stop long enough for a good cleaning.

That's a lot of dirt. I bet it does feel a bit more nimble! Maybe a little to top heavy now? Lol

A year has elapsed since the events of Maple Creek. But for the past few months, our detective has been hot on the trail of the demonic preacher she fought one year ago. Yet he has managed to always stay one step ahead. She hoped to bring an end to the chase in the redwood forests of Northern California. But like so many times before, the trail went cold… And all clues led into nearby Ravenwood Park…

Certainly, this is more difficult than writing an essay. You will envy those youthful writers who not only did it in their twenties (or earlier) but got published—and famous. To keep from becoming too discouraged, you’ll have to look for writing icons who didn’t blossom until later in life.
Now that the envy is under control, on to the practical.
First, it seems obvious that you must begin with an idea. But this assumption isn’t so apparent as you might think. There are as many ways to begin a book as there are Myers Briggs personality types (sixteen, in case you’re wondering). You could begin with an idea, but you could equally well begin with an image, a character, or a setting, or in a dozen other different ways.
Next, if you fancy yourself an architect of words, you draw up blueprints. You outline the book and its chapters. You know the location of the doorways and where the weight-bearing beams must go. You know what the rooms will look like when it’s done. If, on the other hand, you’re a student of psychology, you may next dive into the minds of your characters and crawl inside their skins to understand their motivations. If you’re a hot mess of a writer, you’ll simply begin—with an image or a phrase, perhaps harvested from a dream—and see where it takes you.
Where is the toilet supposed to go again?
Along the way, you’ll be haunted, or more accurately assaulted, by the cultural arguments boiling around you. Art vs. commerce. Writing-as-therapy vs. writing-as-communication. You, with the malleable mind of a writer, fail to see why a book cannot be all of these things at once.
Now you’ve written a page, now ten, now fifty. When you meet people at parties, you’re able to say, if anyone asks, “I’m working on a novel.” If you’re like most writers, you wish the inevitable next question would never come: “What’s it about?”
You’ve learned, through measured consumption of various book marketing webinars and blogs, to skip sharing the plot synopsis, the first-this-happens-then-that-happens descriptors that will have your questioner’s eyes crossing by the third sentence. Instead, you know that the correct response is a pithy “elevator pitch” with a great hook. What are you, a fisherman? Yes. You are fishing for readers. And readers want to hear what the book is About. Not plot points but its themes, its memes, the parts of it that will capture the human imagination.
Fishing for readers. (Faroe Islands stamp, International Cildrens’ Year; Public Domain Via Wikimedia Commons)
The problem at this point, before the book is finished—and especially if you are in the hot-mess school of book development—is that you have no frickin’ clue what it’s About. If you did, why would you bother writing it? Many authors more famous than you have identified this as their primary reason for writing: to find out what happens. So you toss out some cliché and move the party conversation on to baseball.
Something that happens at the fifty- or seventy-five-page mark is that you run into The Wall. Like the famous Wall familiar to marathon runners, this one can seem insurmountable and is characterized by the following:
Feelings of intense self-doubt. Who the hell am I to think I can write this?
Drastic narrowing of your characters’ possibilities (or, uh-oh, I have written myself into a corner).
If you’re lucky, you will have cultivated a community of writers who can cheer you past The Wall.
Finally, you are finished (with your first draft). Congratulations! You print the beast out, lay it on the table, and revel for a moment in the fact that you have just dedicated perhaps years of your life to completing a shitty first draft. Yes, that’s what we writers call them, because we know how much more work they need. Those horror stories you hear about writers receiving a hundred rejection slips? No one tells you about the twenty revisions that preceded the rejection slips. In the most extreme cases, you may need to throw away everything you’ve done so far and start over.
But, if the bones of the story are sound, you can probably get away with a few rewrites and some good solid editing. At this point, depending on what kind of writer you are, you may be tearing your hair out, or you may be thrilled that you no longer have to face a blank page but instead get to work with the words and ideas that are already there.
This is an ultra-marathon, and the writing of the book is only the first half. You can revel in the accomplishment, raise a glass to your hard work, but soon enough you’ll need to get back to running the second half: marketing the hell out of your book.
This felt like an appropriate time for this post. Not only is NaNoWriMo coming up (in which I have never participated), my novel “What Remains Unsaid” is going into production with Sand Hill Review Press. And my novel-in-progress is showing signs that its first draft may be nearly done. (I’m sure hoping I won’t have to ditch the whole thing). I’ll soon be in the unenviable (enviable?) position of promoting one book while scrambling to finish another. Stay tuned for publication updates!

An architect of words and a fisherman for readers. Well said. Inspiring (and instructive post) Congrats on all your progress this year. Staying tuned to see what’s surfacing here next year!
Waiting for sunset on Christmas Eve is like standing toes-over-the-edge on a high diving board.
Every year we’d cruise casually by the window to keep an eye on the sun’s progress until it was officially evening.
Then the shout “Christmas Eve Gift!” would ring out.
You see, the traditions says that the first person to voice that phrase on Christmas Eve to another would be graced with good fortune and joy all the next year.
(And of course, whomever was first won. Everything was a contest…)
It’s more difficult to be first now with caller ID.
As all those who have become my friends in blogland are spread widely across time zones, I’d like to wish you all “Christmas Eve Gift” now.
And as I already feel so fortunate to have such wonderful readers and writers in this neighborhood, I wish to share any phrase acquired good fortune and joy with you in thanks.
No matter where you are or what you are guided by, hope you have a very merry Christmas and a new year full of adventure and joy.
Peace on earth and goodwill towards all creatures great and small.

I like the idea that writers ‘wan’t to find out what happens’. One of my characters just took over my story at one point – it felt like she controlled the outcome.
Nice post.

I’ve talked to very few authors who don’t feel that way at some point in their writing process. I hope your character made story-worthy choices 🙂 (Notice I didn’t say “good” choices, because interesting stories are usually built on the characters making dreadful ones!

Haha, Audrey, this is hilariously awesome! “Revel for a moment in the fact that you have just dedicated perhaps years of your life to completing a shitty first draft.”
I totally get it, especially that deer in headlights feeling I always get when someone asks me what my novel is about. I tend to avoid mentioning that I write books to anyone now so I don’t have to answer that question.
Thanks for making me laugh and congrats on your novel! 🙂

“What’s it about?” Yep, dread that question — even now when the thing is finished, because I just didn’t conceive it that way. And I’m not even trying to do literary fiction. Congrats on having found a publisher for the last one. (Major, major congrats! Would love to know what that feels like some day.) How did you find your elevator pitch? By “reverse engineering,” as someone suggested that I do?
And thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Nice not to feel like I’m a voice crying the wilderness.

There are a lot of us wandering in the wilderness! I’m happy (or maybe distressed?) to say that I didn’t reverse engineer the elevator pitch. I did follow a bit of a formula, though, which helped me reign in the desire to talk about everything and helped focus on just one aspect of the book. I’m trying now to do the same for my current work, which unfortunately isn’t proving any easier now that I’ve already done it!

I find the skills needed for fiction are transferrable to non-fiction and vice-versa. Good structure, bad first draft (inevitably anyway) but it’s transformable into a good second or later draft because the structure’ right to begin with. All writing, in essence, presents an argument (in the classical Greek sense) designed to transport the reader on an emotional journey. And I agree – marketing is a vital part of the author’s journey, whether the book is being commercially published or self-pubbed.

Yes, a good story well told has no regard for whether its “facts” are objectively true! Good non-fiction can be just as engaging and transporting as good fiction.

That engagement and transporting is essential to non-fiction! I write a lot of it and that’s always been my aim. It wins me no favours with the local academy, who judge non-fic by different criteria – but they are not my target audience.

I remember earlier this summer, when I started digitizing Jeff’s tapes. It seemed such a huge project. I had trouble with my equipment and ended up stopping. Then I bought a new cheaper, and actually better rig, started over again.
The pile of tapes was a snapshot of our history. I have listened to these tapes over and over again as I grew from a school kid, to a man with kids old enough to have been us back when we started these tapes. I was as excited to get them digitized for me as I was for getting a copy to Jeff. I think along the way a couple of my tapes were copies of his that I really loved and one I made was called “The Best Of Jeff Byers” where I compiled some of my favorite moments of Jeff’s tapes over the years. What a riot. Jeff’s tapes kept me going, with a familiar and friendly voice over the years, on days when I needed a friend’s voice, or a laugh. It’s odd to talk to a tape recorder, recount the days, weeks, months events and then mail it away. A very disconnected form of communication, but one that made for us a permanent ever-present connection. I love each and every one of them. There were only 2 disasters over the years. Tape # 13 – Gibber broke shortly after I got it. I only have the case now. R.I.P.
Also missing is Tape # 51 – The End. This one is on me. I lost it somewhere over the years. Only the case is left. Ugh.
At one point I noticed that the complete pile of tapes was growing bigger than the tapes left to be digitized pile. I was winning!
Then it was down to the last handful. The end was tantalizingly close!
Then the very last one, one I had set aside because it was stuck. It wouldn’t play, rewind or fast forward. Unfortunately the tape was not one with screws, so it would have to be broken into and hand rewound and transferred to another tape body for digitizing.
It was Tape # 39 – Here We Are
That’s us on the cover. We shot these pictures in a photo booth in a K-Mart in Ann Arbor, Michigan were we met in Junior High and became fast friends.
The tape is what we used to call, even at our less than discerning age, a cheap tape. It was made in Mexico, sold through Woolworth and probably came in a cellophane pack of 3 with no outer case. Audition brand?
It did the trick back in the day when we were poor. Unfortunately, it didn’t fare well years later. I had to break it gingerly open like a brain surgeon and keep the tape from falling out, then spool like a 1/4 of it up, then transfer to a TDK tape body and rewind/fast forward a few times to make sure it was all flush. Then I took it to my rig. It worked!
It ran to the end, auto-reversed, and ran the other way, Audacity making blue waves as Jeff’s voice ran through the wires.
CLICK.
Then it was complete! I had done it. Woo hoo! Then one photo session to record the pictures of all of them, burn the MP3’s of all 79 tapes onto 2 DVD’s and package up and send. The culmination of 4+ months of digitizing work and many many years of making tapes packed into one box. Sent! I sprang for delivery confirmation.
They are on their way Jeff. Thank you for sending them all over the years. They have meant the world to me, and digitizing them was a labour of love.
I can’t wait until next December so we can get some more pictures together.
Until then, we always have these.
Peace

The Austin Marriott Downtown, the 31-story, 613-room hotel located at 304 E. Cesar Chavez St. just steps from the Austin Convention Center, is now open, with 60,000 square feet of meeting space, several new eateries and bars, and a rooftop pool terrace with expansive downtown views.
Aiming to augment the offerings of the existing JW Marriott Austin hotel at Second Street and Congress Avenue, the new Austin Marriott Downtown was originally scheduled to open in the summer of 2019, a date that was eventually pushed back to summer 2020. But thanks to the many challenges that arose because of the pandemic, that date got pushed back again.
Now up and running, the Austin Marriott Downtown is celebrating its grand opening with a special offer: Through May 30, guests can get a 15 percent discount on guest rooms plus two complimentary cocktails from any of the property’s restaurants and bars.
Those include Zanzibar, the tiki-inspired cocktail bar and eatery that opened in September and is located on the hotel’s seventh-story rooftop pool terrace, as well as Corinne Restaurant, a ground-floor spot featuring American comfort food and a spacious outdoor dining patio, and The Lobbyist, a two-story cocktail bar and lounge. The hotel also includes urban grocery spot Loaf + Vine, which offers bakery goods, grab-and-go items, coffee, and freshly made meals.
Designed in a modern style and highlighting natural Texas materials like cedar and limestone, the Austin Marriott Downtown includes 25 suites and an array of tech-enhanced conveniences, including touchless check-in and check-out service, and elevator and in-room television control via a personal smartphone.
But it is the property’s capacious and flexible meetings accommodations that hotel reps are touting as particularly noteworthy. Tailored to meet every kind of gathering, from those needing socially distanced configurations to larger conventions, the hotel’s events and meetings spaces include an 18,000-square-foot exhibit hall and two 14,000-square-foot ballrooms. Combined with the meetings space at sister hotel JW Marriott Austin, the two properties now possess a significant portion of the city's event space.
Both the JW Marriott Austin and the new Austin Marriott Downtown are owned and operated by hotel development and management company White Lodging, which owns and/or manages more than 4,000 guest rooms and 10 restaurants and bars in the downtown Austin area, including the Westin Austin Downtown, Aloft Austin Downtown, and its recently opened millennial-focused hotel, Moxy Austin, located on the Drag.
With downtown Austin businesses hit particularly hard by the pandemic, the opening of the Austin Marriott Downtown marks a notable moment for the company, as well as the hospitality industry in general.
“This hotel is where Austin’s individuality meets the spirit of Texas,” says David Meisner, general manager of the Austin Marriott Downtown. “With our state-of-the-art meetings facilities, wide selection of food-and-beverage outlets and thoughtfully appointed guest rooms, guests can reach their full creative potential. We are ready to be the first to safely welcome so many back to this great city as travel regains its footing.”

We are committed to the highest standards of compliance with applicable financial and domestic abuse laws and seek to follow best practice where we are able. This Financial & Domestic Abuse Policy outlines our commitment to victims of financial or domestic abuse and has been endorsed by our Board and Senior Management.
Our Financial & Domestic Violence Policy is maintained and reviewed regularly by senior management. Senior management communicate the content of the Financial & Domestic Abuse Policy to staff and ensure there is appropriate training and monitoring of compliance.
References to “you” in this Policy Statement means you as a policyholder, director, employee or other insured person or insured under a policy arranged or issued by us.
Our approach
Financial abuse in the context of domestic and family violence (domestic and financial abuse) is a serious and widespread problem affecting people in communities across Australia.
Our purpose is to deliver insurance products that benefit Australians. We recognise that some of our clients may be in vulnerable circumstances.
The Board and senior management are advised on risks relating to financial and domestic abuse and have ultimate accountability. The purpose of this Policy is to inform all our staff, stakeholders and insureds of our required approach to ensure financial and domestic abuse is not enabled and to protect the interests of victims.
Responsibility
Our senior management are responsible for implementing effective Financial & Domestic Abuse procedures, monitoring compliance with those procedures and reporting to the Board. Senior management reports to the Board at least annually and at any such time as a matter of material concern arises (including in respect of any material breach of this Policy).
Our senior management understand the relevant legislation and regulations and have the full support of the Board in carrying out their responsibilities.
Senior management’s responsibilities include:
Establishing, maintaining and monitoring our financial and domestic abuse procedures.
Receiving reports of any suspicious activity from within the business or from external stakeholders.
Establishing and maintaining training for our staff.
Reporting to the Board.
Working with the underwriters to monitor developments in legislation, regulations and practice.
Escalating incidents and liaising with regulatory and law enforcement bodies where it is appropriate to do so. (Note: there may be times where notifying third parties, including insurers, syndicates and managing agents may not be allowed under applicable legislation).
Conducting periodic reviews of our compliance with relevant financial legislation.
If you have any queries or concerns regarding any financial or domestic abuse issue you should contact us immediately and request the matter be referred to one of our senior management team.
Training
We believe that it is of critical importance that all our relevant members of staff receive an appropriate level of training on how to assist you in dealing with financial or domestic abuse. We are supporting our people by:
Educating our people on how to recognise and address financial or domestic abuse and providing them with the tools and resources necessary to achieve you wherever possible.
Strengthening our workplace responses and gender equality strategy to support those affected by domestic and financial abuse.
Privacy
We understand that privacy and confidentiality can be critical to safety in any domestic and family violence situation and will take care to protect your personal information in line with our Privacy Policy.
Depending on your personal circumstances, we can help you:
Change your personal, policy or login details to help protect the security of your information.
Please note this may not be appropriate in circumstances where a violent family member is controlling your finances using your details, and any change may be a threat to your safety.
Change arrangements for anything we may need to send to you. For example, by nominating the mailing address of a trusted family member or PO Box.
Accessing support and information
There is a large range of support services available to you if you are experiencing domestic and family violence or financial hardship.
Please feel free to contact us at any time for further information on relevant service providers or contact the Health Authority in your state or territory.

ART Partner Program
ART’s Partner Program is a vital element in our mission to share the practice of authentic relating with people everywhere. Authentic relating at its core is a relational practice, and nothing we do could exist without the beautiful network of people around the world who are dedicated to inviting others into the circles we create at our courses and programs.
Our Partners are passionate about authentic relating, conscious community, and the nourishing qualities of human connection. We at ART love to work in synergy with our Partners to create active avenues for the people in their lives to join our courses and stay engaged and involved in our ever expanding community of practitioners.
ART provides its valuable Partners with some of the most generous commission splits in the business, and which increase in favor of Partners as referrals increase. Partners also enjoy other benefits of the Partner Program, including free membership to ART’s upcoming membership platform, discounts to ART courses and programs, and special events and resources available just for Partners.
The program is simple – sign up below and you will have access to the ART Partner Portal where you will be able to view your referral stats, generate affiliate links, and view your commission earned. Once a month we will distribute payouts directly to your preferred bank account (min. earning of $50 is required for payouts).
Benefits
When you signup to be an ART Partner you automatically earn a $25 signup bonus! ART Partners also earn 10% on each successful sale with the opportunity to earn a higher commission rate if they generate a higher number of sales.
$25 sign-up bonus (received with your first referral payout)
10% commissions on all referrals with opportunities to grow
Ability to offer your community 5% discount on all ART courses
10% personal discount to all ART courses and programs earned after first referral
Access to your own private dashboard where you can generate links and view automatically tracked stats such as visitors, referrals, and earned commission
Complimentary membership to the ARTery, ART’s upcoming membership program
Once you sign up below, we’ll follow up shortly with further details and steps as you begin your journey as an ART Partner. We hope to see you in the circle sometime! Much love!

In North America we have 46 species of fuzzy, little bumblebees. They generally follow similar life history patterns: queens emerge, find a nesting site, seek pollen and nectar to establish a colony, workers emerge, they grow the colony, generate new queens and male bees, those fly off and mate, new queens find a place to over winter, a cozy little hibernacula of their own, and all the other bumblebees die. (Sorry to end their story on such a morbid note, but that’s where everything ends in the end, right? ) No! Of course that’s not the end!: the new queens emerge the next spring and the whole thing starts over again. That is the general, well-worn, well-loved pattern, but we see differences in species’ phenology, or timing.
Some bumblebees emerge early and some emerge a bit later. And in general, it’s thought that each species is following the blooming phenology of their preferred habitat. Early emerging bumblebees have a stronger woodland association, using woodlands for early blooming spring nectar and pollen and nesting, and late emerging bumblebees have a grassland association, using grasslands for finding flowers and nest sites.
In late April, you can hear early bumblebees buzzing around the redbuds.
According to the Xerces Society of Invertebrate Conservation, over 1/4 of North American bumblebees are threatened with extinction, and when looking over these bumblebee declines, researchers in Great Britain and North America, have seen a trend that bumblebee species with late emerging queens (who are seeking flowers and nest sites in grasslands) are more likely to be showing population declines. And really, this makes sense. In Great Britain, North America, and other places, too, grasslands have been, and continue to be, declining. For example, a recent study out of Michigan notes that their agricultural grasslands/hay fields, full of timothy and clover (a good resource for bumblebees), have decreased by over 92% since 1925.
A big brown-belted bumblebee (I think) visits July blooming swamp milkweed.
As for grassland loss in Iowa, well, first we have the astonishing history of the destruction of the prairie, with over 99.9% of the prairie lost to agriculture and development after European settlement. In more recent history, though, Iowa and the Midwest have continued to lose grasslands, especially over the last 15 years. A land-use study out of the University of Wisconsin, demonstrated that, grasslands accounted for 77% of the land used for agricultural expansion between 2008 and 2012 -a loss of about 5.7 million acres of grassland, due to the 2005 Renewable Fuel Standard (a.k.a. ethanol mandates).
But what has all this meant for bumblebees in Iowa? The fact is, research is scarce, but the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation considers 5 of Iowa’s 16 bumblebee species vulnerable to extinction, and one species endangered.

An answer to habitat loss is to create or restore high quality habitat, but when it comes to what really makes high quality bumblebee habitat, there are still many unknowns. What exactly are the most preferred flowers, nesting sites, and overwintering sites for each species? We just don’t have super researched answers yet. But that said, we definitely have enough information get started making bumblebee friendly gardens at home.

“Creating and conserving nesting habitat in natural areas and habitat fragments can potentially be a significant contributor to the reproductive success of bumble bees.”
Xerces Society, Conserving Bumble Bees
A number of studies have suggested that a lack of nest sites may be a limiting factor for bumblebee population growth. In a natural setting, bumblebee queens will usually nest under a clump of grass, or an abandoned mouse or chipmunk burrow, or cavities in dead trees, or in rock piles. But special attention should probably be paid to the bunch grasses. A 2005 study in Iowa showed that bumblebee abundance in prairie remnants was significantly predicted by the percent of grasslands in the surrounding landscape (suggesting additional nest sites and flowers were likely beneficial), and a couple studies out of Europe showed bumblebee queens actually prefer withered grasses and tussocks as nest sites. Considering their loss from the landscape, it seems that planting grasses, specifically bunch grasses, is a great step forward. And gardens are a great place to start.
It’s been shown that gardens, parks, and urban areas can provide significant nesting habitat for bumblebees. In 2004, a citizen science effort in England, found about 3 bumblebee nests per acre, with the majority of nests found in people’s gardens. And lucky for our gardens, bunch grasses are beautiful and versatile, adding wonderful textures and colors, weed suppression, and habitat.
Little bluestem, in the foreground, is an excellent addition to pollinator gardens.
A bunch of choices:
Bunch grasses come in many heights, colors, and with a beautiful diversity of seed heads. Here’s just a few good options. There are many more! Photos courtesy of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Bumblebee Garden Maintenance: Less is More
To help with your bumblebee habitat, it’s recommended to not cut back bunch grasses, but to leave them be. The fallen grass is used for overwintering hibernacula for queen bees, as well as nest sites the following spring. Similarly, areas with leaf litter, brush, and fallen logs also provide beneficial nesting and overwintering sites. So, I guess what I’m saying is, we can plant grass and flowers, and then forget about it. Don’t mow as much. Don’t rake up your leaves. Don’t pick up all your sticks and fallen logs, in fact, just leave some piles around (in secret locations if you don’t like the “naturalistic” appearance of brush piles). And as always try to eliminate pesticides and herbicides from your yard.
Have you found any bumblebee nests in your yard? If so, where was it?!

About a month ago, the wood ducks arrived -surprise! They’ve come every year for the past five years, and their migration might be long, but their arrival always seems sudden. Suddenly, wood ducks, know what I mean? And that is life. Suddenly, wood ducks.
In our family, just as slowly and quickly as a long migration, jobs have changed, houses and yards have been bought and sold and packed (almost packed), and now, we are staring down a move to Vermont on Monday, driving a U-haul across the country, with a dog, a cat, and two small kids, and arriving on Wednesday. As you can imagine, all this feels very surprising. Suddenly, Vermont.
A sulphur butterfly stops by.
With the pandemic and small children, we couldn’t go out to look around, so we’re heading to a house and yard (and future garden) we’ve only seen in pictures. No doubt, more surprises are in store. Ha!
A painted lady butterfly visiting purple coneflower.
As you can imagine, some of my first thoughts have gone to my garden here. It’s hard to put into words how thankful I am to these plants and trees, and the fireflies, and bumblebees, and butterflies, and all the insects and birds around my house. Planting this garden, and the joy of watching so much life just arrive over the years, has changed my life and given me direction. And I am so completely grateful for it. Sometimes I think one of the main reasons for a higher power, or cosmic consciousness, or God, or however you put it, is to have someone or something to thank, somewhere to tell our most profound gratitude. Maybe I sound like a truly insane gardener, but that is just how I feel about my garden -I got to talk to The Universe about it. You guys probably know what I am talking about. But enough with the gratitude, let’s get to the complaining!
Beautiful female tiger swallowtail on beautiful coneflowers.
Here is a list of plants I totally Love, that technically, I should not grow in Vermont, if I am going to abide by the native gardening ideal of only planting regionally native plants (which, as you can imagine, I always thought I would gladly abide by). I warn you, this little list is brutal:
Purple poppy mallow. I love this plant.
Purple coneflowers
All the other coneflowers!
Meadow blazingstar!!!
Prairie sage
Stiff goldenrod
Prairie dock
So Many Others
The area of Iowa where I live is historically part of the prairie ecosystem, whereas New England is a temperate deciduous and mixed forest, and some meadows, lots of wetlands… So… gardening will be very different. Don’t get me wrong, I love forests and ferns, but Oh Man, there are some amazing prairie plants it’s hard to imagine a life without! A life without purple coneflowers -are you kidding me?! No purple coneflowers?
Brown belted bumblebees love purple coneflowers.
“Ideally, we encourage you to protect, collect, and sow seed from native plants that originate within or near your own community.
While native plants are ideal, introduced plants are often an irreversible presence in our humanized landscapes. Many of these species can offer copious floral rewards for pollinators. Select introduced plants with caution, however, and carefully avoid invasive or noxious plants to protect native plant communities and the wildlife that depend upon them.”
100 Plants to Feed the Bees: Provide a Healthy Habitat to Help Pollinators Thrive, by The Xerces Society
In the past (I admit it. I’m not proud of it.), there has been a very slightly rigid, perhaps puritanical, bent to my gardening, with thoughts like: the tough among us get creative and embrace the limitations of a strictly native palette (which I know is a ridiculous thought). But now, I can see that it is easy to “embrace your limitations,” if you live in the prairie region because there are hardly any limitations! The plants here are just incredibly diverse and beautiful. But give up coneflowers?!! Oh, How this challenges my naturally unyielding spirit. You see, if I were a librarian, I would shush non-natives. If I were a teacher, I would write their name on the board. No Mercy. (Even though it’s not their fault they’re here, and they are just trying to live their lives).
I’ve always loved this shot of the bumblebee under the purple coneflower umbrella.
Some of you might be thinking, “Huh? What the heck is she talking about? Purple coneflowers are native plants!” Well… in the Midwest, yes, but in the northeast, I am afraid not. They can be planted there, they grow there, insects love them there, they are native to North America, but they are not actually native to the region. They are a prairie species, and technically, native to just certain areas of the Midwest. I know, it’s super sad irritating for people like me. And it definitely raises the question, what exactly do we mean by native?
The idea of nativity, as often applied in native plant circles, is fairly straightforward. A plant is considered native to a region if it was recorded in that region as European settlers first arrived and took botanical notes. If it can be found in the botanical historical record, it is native. Of course, we know that this botanical record is quite spotty and just a snapshot of plants in time, but it’s what we’ve got.

Pale purple coneflower. Blooms earlier than purple coneflower and is more delicate.
When we get to Vermont, I will try to talk to some experts, get their thoughts, and proceed to mull over the following:
1. Should gardeners help plants migrate north? Climate change has insects on the move, as I know from my exciting run in with crickets, so should we think about shifting some plants’ ranges north? (You see me angling for more plants here?)
2. Are some plants so good for pollinators, and so non-threatening to native plant communities that you should probably just include them in your garden, even if they aren’t really native to the region? (no doubt you see me angling for purple coneflowers in this one)
3. Maybe I should just loosen up and go with Doug Tallamy’s suggestion of making sure 70% of the garden is strictly native, and let myself have 30% of the garden in coneflowers?
4. Maybe purple coneflowers plus cognitive dissonance are not as beautiful.
5. Maybe there’s a lot to be said for just opening one’s heart to new places and their plants.
6. Maybe I can embrace the limitations of a strictly Vermont native palette. Ferns are awesome, too.
At any rate, life is good: lots to think about, lots to do. And I better get back to packing!
Purple coneflower, prairie sage, and black-eyed Susans. One of my favorite spots in the garden.

so excited for your Vermont move! your Iowa native garden is incredible so the 70/30 seems utterly reasonable ! but you may be blown away by Vermont native plants , so you could wait to see how hard it is to live without the coneflowers 🙂

Thanks!! I think you are right here, Cbearden! A wait and see approach makes a lot of sense.

It is hard to leave a garden, never mind such a beautiful one as this. I hope you find equal joy in your new one. I am not sure about natives/non-natives debate, but suspect plants’ ideas of native would be different than our own. It does interest me how some plants get along happily with each other and find a balance. Perhaps after all, that is largely the issue.

BOOK APPOINTMENT
Yoga is an ancient science, believed to be over 5000 years old, which has undergone a revival in recent years and has become well known all around the world. Due to its worldwide popularity, recently June 21 was designated as the “International Day of Yoga”.
Yoga is a Sanskrit word which means to unite/connect/link with something or someone.
According to Yogic philosophy, the practice of yoga exercises, postures, breathing techniques, etc. are meant to remove blockages from within one’s system, thus enabling one to establish a link amongst several systems within one’s body – this in turn will enable the individual to have a healthy body, sound mind, emotional stability, clear intelligence, and pure consciousness, resulting in more harmonious interaction with others.
Although there are many different types of Yoga being practiced around the world today, almost all of them originate from “AshtangaYoga” (the eightfold yoga) system. Ashtanga yoga comprises of eight limbs, namely: Yama, Niyama, Pratyahara, Asana, Pranayama, Dharna, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
Generally today, more emphasis is placed on Asanas (postures) with some importance given to Pranayam (breathing techniques).
What is special about our approach to Yoga: At AyurYoga, we recommend and teach specific Yoga techniques especially suitable for the individual, depending on his/her Prakruti (constitution) and Vikruti (imbalance), while taking into consideration all the eight limbs of Yoga.
This approach yields more precise results while saving our clients’ precious time, since they only need to focus on the Yoga exercises/techniques which are most suitable and beneficial for them, based on their health requirements.
In addition to drafting tailor-made Yoga programmes for our clients, we also conduct Yoga workshops for Yoga Teachers, to teach/demonstrate how they can apply the principles of Ayurveda in their Yoga practice/teaching. This enables the Yoga Teacher/Instructor to derive maximum effect from their Yoga practice/teaching, thereby benefiting themselves and their students.

I have often heard teachers or therapists’s ask the question, “what motivates her?” or “I can’t find anything that motivates him.” Well stop looking, it is found. It is usually being demonstrated when the child is left to his own devices. The answer is 1) watch, 2) listen, 3) mirror, and 4) watch again.
Watch and see what the child does. Is it rocking, flicking fingers, is it clapping hands repeatedly? Whatever it is, mirror it, mirror to a simple tune which can be repeated – then watch and see what happens. Is the child looking, smiling? Although the behavior may be unusual from what a nuero-typical child does, the child is receiving something motivating from doing it. As we all know, spectrum children have many sensory issues, an observed behavior is probably satisfying something. It is not necessary, at this point, that we understand what the behavior is satisfying, all we really need to know is what motivates, or satisfy’s this child. Remember, 1) watch, 2) listen, 3) mirror, and 4) watch again. See the result you get from mirroring back that behavior.
In previous blogs, I have written about “Eddie” (also containing a video clip. https://backmountainmusictherapy.com/2012/07/disconnect-to-self-regulation-all-systems-go-ready-for-take-off/) and his “Click Clack” song Eddie carries a matchbox car which he holds by the wheels and flicks back and forth repeatedly. We have developed a “Click Clack” song to accompany his stim.As the music ant the stim are matched, the therapist can vary the tempo and the energy of the tune and “Eddie” will follow the music, staying connected in a co-responsive activity with the therapist. As “Eddie” plays, he gives eye contact to the therapist, engages in turn taking activity and follows 1 step verbal direction.
This week “Eddie” needed to be carried in tot the Music Therapy room. Recently, in Music Therapy, “Eddie” has been sitting in the corner, pushing his hands along the carpet. As he waits for his session in the waiting area, he pushes on play dough. Last week, I happened to have left play dough sitting on the piano. As “Eddie” was carried in last week, he immediately spotted the play dough, grabbed it and started to squeeze it. I used his old, familiar Click Clack tune and started to sing about the “squeeze” of the play dough that he was engaging in. Although the TSS remained, “Eddie” connected with me through his vigorous play dough pushing with frequent eye contact.
This week, upon being carried once again into the Music Therapy room, “Eddie was given the play dough. I left the piano and used only my voice as I squeezed the play dough in both of “Eddie’s” hands, then his feet. “Eddie” then pushed on pillows with his feet, allowing me to hold the pillow. “Eddie went from displaying anxious, frantic behavior to spending most of the session smiling at me maintaining sustained eye contact., shaking his head “yes” to my assistance and continuing to gesture for my continued assistance. “Eddie’ left the session calm and happy, not displaying the anxious, frantic behavior that he entered the room with at the start of the session. “Eddies” sensory need had been met. Did he learn or develop anything this day? I don’t think so, but he did leave the room displaying calm, attentive behavior. “Eddie” displayed trust in the therapist by smiling, giving very consistent, sustained eye contact, answering “yes” with a head shake to assistance offered, and reaching for what was needed, employing the therapist’s help. “Eddie” was able to trust the therapist, the therapy routine and the environment. As in Maslow’s theories, physiological needs must be met first, and then trust must be established before other higher learning is to occur. Watch, listen, mirror and the watch again.

Your description is great, but as an OT, I disagree that Eddie did not learn anything in the session. He learned that your squeezes (deep pressure touch) felt good and allowed him to calm down and get more organized and focused. This organization allowed him to make more eye contact with you and to communicate that he wanted you to continue with the activity. In future sessions, he may calm as soon as he enters the room, knowing that you will provide the deep pressure touch that he is needing. I have had this experience with children as they come into the sensory motor room. Sharing this technique with family will further enhance his organization and his communication to request it. I often say the word “Squish” or “squeeze” as I provide deep pressure touch. If the child is non-verbal, I will stop, ask “more?” while signing and see if the child indicates in any way that he wants me to continue. Eye contact, smiling, lifting feet up are all means of communicating “more”. This is a great opportunity to work on labeling body parts or other communication skills.

Thank you so much for this! I agree, I have been questioned here and am not use to people seeing this as learning. Your explanation and points made are re-affirming!

Thank you for this well described success and use of sensory stimulation to motivate children with autism. I do similar work during hippothrapy where the child learns to sing along, gesture with songs, give commands etc. and is rewarded by horse movement which also has great impact on sensory integration. I will share on my facebook page.

Last week, I lost a friend and the world lost a phenomenal performer, when actor Philip Newby passed away.
When all the information is in, I’ll post a proper obituary with an expanded biography and information on any services. For now, as so many people who were touched by Phil’s presence grieve, I wanted to put forth a simple ode to his genius and also to the community that loves and mourns him.
Phil was, without hyperbole, one of the funniest actors to ever set foot on stage. With impeccable timing and delivery, he could turn even the most benign of lines into comic gold. Many of L.A.’s best writers and directors clamored to work with him, often writing roles specifically for his offbeat sensibilities.
Whether playing a hyperactive half-bunny/half-beaver in last year’s new musical Beaverquest! or a put-upon hunchback in the award-winning LaBete or even just playing himself in his self-penned “The Prisoner” homage The Captive, Phil was always a scene-stealer. His characters were never trite, simplistic fools. Rather, they were always imbued with humanity and grace—it was not uncommon to hear a chorus of “awwws” through the laughter. Off stage, he was equally warm and hilarious. I can remember the first time Phil made me laugh, simply by referring to his beat-up car as the “pussy wagon”—complete with air quotes. He was a generous performer, universally beloved by his peers and respected as an artist.
Phil's onscreen work included roles in Pirates of the Carribbean II and III and the upcoming thrillers The Poughkeespsie Tapes and Alien Raiders. Phil was vital to the L.A. theatre scene, where he regularly performed with Sacred Fools and Theatre of NOTE. On Friday night, as word spread over the course of a couple hours, I watched the theatre community do what it does best and come forward to support each other. Over 30 people gathered at Beaverquest! author and Sacred Fools Board Member Padraic Duffy’s home to share their grief. The decision was made to cancel the following night’s popular late-night series, Serial Killers, in which Phil was a regular contributor. Though many of us felt Phil would have wanted the show to go on, it was simply impossible, and the choice was made to instead open the theatre doors to all of Phil’s grieving friends.
The theatre community is a funny thing. We can be petty. We can engage in heated arguments over the value of Neil Simon or the validity of some critic’s review. There may be infighting and healthy competition. But at the end of the day, this city of artists is always there for each other with open arms and loving hearts. I was reminded how proud I am to be a member of this community as I stood in the lobby of the Sacred Fools Theatre Saturday night and watched so many people from different walks of life comforting each other, reaching out to each other, and sharing memories of all the times Phil had made them laugh. Tears would give way to laughter as people began recalling some of their favorite “Newby moments” both onstage and off. And it soon became apparent how many lives he had touched so irrevocably. It’s this community of artists that I know will continue to keep Phil’s memory and spirit alive, so that a great artist and a great man will never truly be gone.
-- Jenelle Riley
Now at this time I’d like to turn to a better writer than me; Robert Frost:
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Philip was truly one of the beautiful people. I will carry the beauty and spark of his presence with me in my heart always.
Thank you Jenelle for putting into words what so many of us have been thinking and feeling over the past few days.

Thanks for writing this, it is a very fitting tribute.

This was beautifully written and very moving. I will truly miss him. Nothing I can say will express what I'm feeling right now but what you wrote comes close. Thank you. And thank you Mr. Newby for making us smile laugh and "awwww."

I'll miss seeing him around. I got to know him best on Ben's film Alien Raiders, and was looking forward to the EXTRA features where I interviewed him as a character...
Now, I don't know if I want to see that footage...

Jenelle this is so lovely. Phil was loved by so many. I am lucky to have shared the stage with him. My heart goes out to the entire Sacred Fools Family. Big Hugs.

Beautifully written, Jenelle.
Philip Newby was a one of a kind. He was one of my all-time favs to watch on stage - any stage - anywhere - any time.

I am stunned and saddened by this loss. It's difficult to describe how much I enjoyed watching Phil on stage. I was lucky enough to share it a few times. He will be missed for the joy he brought to so many people. Thank you Jenelle for writing this.

What to say? You have said it all so eloquently. Thank you for tributing him so beautifully.
It is a huge loss. I was lucky enough to know his smile and have him create mine many times.

Very well said, Jenelle. Saturday night at the Fools was terribly sad, but also, so affirming that so many could come together to support each other in such a moment. I consider myself blessed to have worked with Phil at all, and as so many have expressed, I, too, considered him the funniest person I have ever seen on a stage and one of the sweetest people I've known off it. He will be missed and the world last lost a truly extraordinary human being. RIP Phil.

Jenelle, YOUR talent shines thru in this moving tribute to a wonderful performer. I never got to know Phil very closely, but he was always so polite to me and at the last SERIAL KILLERS I was in before I moved, he mentioned to me that he liked what I had done that night-and it meant the world to me to hear someone of his talent say that. I loved Phils' performance in La Bete, and especially in Kabuki. I only wish I could have been there Friday night to offer what comfort I could have to his friends. What a terrible loss.

Phil was an incredible talent- he gave so much laughter and joy to all who saw his work.
I didn't know him very well, what I did know of him was a kind and gentle soul, always humble in accepting praise of his brilliant performances. It was heartening to see on Saturday that he was still making people laugh even through their tears.

A year ago we made a big shift as a church away from the traditional church meeting, based around a Sunday worship/preaching event, into home church. We now meet around a meal rather than a program and we love it. I thought I’d add to this site the letter from our website (slightly revamped) that explained our reasons for do so.
THE REASONS WHY WE AT LONG LAST WENT HOME CHURCH
1. IT HAD BEEN PART OF OUR VISION FOR A LONG TIME
From the start home groups, cell groups, house church, whatever we called it, had been a feature of our church. We started in a house and had always felt that it was in homes that we’d experienced our most valuable times of connecting to each other. It was in our homes that we relaxed and opened up, and often where we’d learned the most, both about God and each other.But we’d also been a church that had valued the Sunday corporate gathering. It was the value that we placed on that that eventually led us, via a number of rented facilities, to build The Fellowship Centre. At the time we felt that Sunday morning church was an important expression of what it meant to be a church. Building the Fellowship Centre was in fact a bold and exciting move. I had no doubt at all that God was in it. It was a very prophetic action requiring faith and a unity of vision that was rare among the churches on the Coast.
However, as we were about to move into our building, I was troubled by a concern that the building and all that happened in it would become for us ‘church’. And so in ’96, quite prematurely and with a lot of enthusiasm but not much wisdom, I embarked on a bold experiment to make sure that that did not happen. We put our home groups on Sunday morning and met for our Celebration on Saturday night. I loved it – no dressing up, no musicians practice at 8am, no late night sermon preparation, relaxed Sunday morning breakfast – just the way it is now!
But it seems that only fools rush in where angels fear to tread, and I hadn’t noticed the look on the angels’ faces. I’m sure that they knew in their wisdom some things that I was about to learn. Namely that you can’t rush people into change and that the prophet, although he can see what the church is meant to look like in the future, has to live in the now and be much more patient and pragmatic in bringing about God’s purposes. The experiment lasted three months and then we were back to church ‘as normal’.
I learned a lesson from King David in this. You will remember that David wanted to bring the Ark of the Covenant up to Jerusalem and how his first attempt finished in failure. This was not, however, because his vision and enthusiasm was misguided. Not at all. This act was driven by a hunger to see God’s glory and was profoundly prophetic and strategically important. What was at fault was simply his understanding of God’s ways. It took him awhile to get that right but the day eventually came for him to carry out God’s purpose which is what he did.
Last July I felt that we were standing at such a time. The years since ’96 had been valuable years. They had matured us, refined us, clarified the vision within us and prepared us to make the move into home church. It was a natural move for us
2. IT’S HARD TO BUILD HOME CHURCH UNLESS YOU ARE IN A HOME.
Another thing I realised last July was that if our vision is to build a network of home churches on the coast then we can only effectively do that by making the home the centre of our activities rather than our building.
I had long felt that while we meet on Sundays in a special building we will continue to see that as ‘church’. We therefore needed to move out in order to get our thinking in line with New Testament thinking. In the New Testament we only really find one main setting out of which the church operated and that was the home. It was in the home, gathered around bread and wine, that the church experienced the fellowship of Christ and the life of the Spirit. It was simple church, unadorned by the clutter of activity that goes into modern Sunday church services. And it was powerful church, an underground movement that was able to be easily reproduced. It turned out radical disciples and changed the world.
For sure there were other settings in which they met. There was Solomon’s Porch, a large outdoor gathering where they initially met daily, and in Ephesus we find Paul teaching daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. But note that these had little resemblance to the public meetings of today. They were almost exclusively for the purpose of teaching, preaching and evangelism. It is highly unlikely that they included musicians, worship or the breaking of bread or any of the other things that are part of ‘normal’ Sunday worship services today. Not that we are at all tied into copying such early church meetings. My point is that in the NT these public meetings had a definite focus of teaching and training. They were not where the main life of the church was at.
We do have a building, a nice one and fully paid for. But the building cannot dictate our vision and will be an important asset to us in the years ahead. For now we are blessed that it has become a greatly appreciated meeting place for a number of other church fellowships in town leaving us free to explore an alternative way of meeting.
3. GOD IS CHANGING THE EXISTING EXPRESSION OF THE CHURCH
Mike Bickle, in his book Growing in the Prophetic, relates a revelation that came to him in 1982, in a hotel room in Cairo, where the Lord said to him, “I will change the understanding and expression of Christianity in the earth in one generation”. When I ask myself what is the main ‘expression’ of Christianity in the earth today it is, apart from our denominational systems, the way we meet. To most onlookers the church is ‘a group of religious people who gather each Sunday morning in a special building, sing special songs and listen to a sermon by a specially ordained pastor or priest’. Whether it is the Catholic mass or Hillsong (or all that is in between), that about sums up Christianity for most onlookers.
Well, God is changing that expression of the church. I suspect that in the future, although there will remain an important place for teaching and preaching, the main meetings of God’s people will be far more informal and will be for interaction, fellowship, prayer and hands on, practical outreach. Like Mary and Martha there will be a sorting out of what is really ‘necessary’ in order to be the community of Christ on earth. This will involve the slaying of not a few sacred cows along the way (see Stuart Gromenz’ Micro Church site for a few that have to go).
But the move back to simplicity and the stripping away of the excess baggage will in the end produce a church that is very different to what we see today. A church that has thrown off the trappings of this world, discarded its techniques and values, and is sold out for Jesus and Him alone. Mat Redman summed it up in ‘The Heart of Worship’. It’s all about You, Jesus. Let’s go back to when it was more simple.

An Introduction
Hi. I’m Phil. I’m married to Esther and we’re a part of a great group of ‘backyard believers’ in beautiful Yeppoon on the coast of Central Queensland, Australia.
Over the past few years we have been on a journey out of church a la Constantine to church a la New Testament – exploring more relational ways of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. We have a passion to see the church restored to her true apostolic foundations and a simpler, more authentic way of being Christ’s community on earth. Go to ‘ABOUT” and you can get the rest of the story.
Now semi-retired I share my time between helping to run the local Salvation Army Family Store and the local community radio KeppelFM 91.3, and editing the Australian Oikos magazine. You may find references to these in our ramblings.
Hope you enjoy.

On Easter Sunday I was a bit out of sync and actually preached on the Palm Sunday event of Christ entering Jerusalem and clearing the temple. I’d preached on it before but this time the Lord gave me new insight into just how ugly must have been the scene that Jesus encountered at the temple, how relevant it is to our day and why he must do the same in us, his church, before the world can have the manifestation of him that he intends it to have before he returns.
It had to do with the Court of the Gentiles, a wide open place set apart for the nations to come and find God. It surrounded the inner courts and the Holy Place, where the circumcised could come, by the blood of a lamb, and have fellowship with God – with the intent that they would minister that life out to the world.
What he found was a people who gave lip service to the inner court but actually lived in the outer courts, wheeling and dealing at tables set up for their own benefit and not for the benefit of the nations. Unfortunately when the nations came, seeking the dwelling place of God, what they found was a market, and one that was little different to what they already had back in Athens or Rome.
As I considered the picture it occurred to me that it is a currently relevant picture – and equally obnoxious and deserving of judgement.
We too are meant to have an inner place where, by the blood of Christ and with circumcised hearts, we ‘live and move and have our being’, in the presence of God. But surrounding that we are also meant to have a wide open ‘court of the Gentiles’ , a large place where seekers after truth can come and find the life that we share with Christ. In practical terms that ‘court’ represents time, energy and resources that are available for ‘others’. The lost are meant to come and find a place that is uncluttered and available.
Often however when people come into our courts they find that, instead of living out of the Holy Place, we have set up the same tables that they wheel and deal at, that our lives are as cluttered as theirs and the evidence that God dwells here is pretty scant.
Instead of living out of the inner court where we hear God assuring us that he is our supply and sufficiency we are out trading at a table marked ‘Making a Living’ and using the worlds methods to do so. Instead of finding our pleasure and joy in the presence of Jesus we trade at a table called ‘Entertainment’, filling our emptiness with the latest offerings of Foxtel, the Internet or Virgin Blue. Instead of gaining wisdom for our marriages and families at the Lord’s feet we trade at the tables of the world’s wisdom. And so on and so on. When we don’t live out of the Inner Sanctuary we finish up setting up tables in the outer courts.
And churches do the same. It surely has to be asked how much of the marketing, the techniques, and the ‘us’ centred obsession with image that much of the church is into is just tables, borrowed from the world, replacing intimacy with Christ. A Martha church engaged in much that is just ‘not necessary’.
And all of this is taking up room that is not meant to be devoted to us but to ‘the Gentiles’. We rob them – and we rob God.
And the problem is that when our seeking friends come into such courtyards their reaction is, “Wow! you people are no different to us. Same tables, same stress, same priorities and lifestyle.”
This is then followed either by, “Hey, does this mean I don’t have to change? I can stay the same and still be a part of the church?” Or, “Oh. I was hoping you had answers. Does this mean I have to keep searching?”
The glorious thing was that after Jesus cleared the temple Matthew records that ‘the blind and the lame came to him in the temple and he healed them’. And surely they are still there, waiting to get in, looking for room. For the sake of the world we have to clear our ‘court of the Gentiles’. We need to kick over some tables, clear the clutter, get back to living more simply, from that Inner Place, making room for the nations – or the neighbours. Or do we need to wait until the Lord, motivated by a zeal for his house and a love for the nations, comes in his righteous anger (and grace) and turns over our tables for us?

An Introduction
Hi. I’m Phil. I’m married to Esther and we’re a part of a great group of ‘backyard believers’ in beautiful Yeppoon on the coast of Central Queensland, Australia.
Over the past few years we have been on a journey out of church a la Constantine to church a la New Testament – exploring more relational ways of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. We have a passion to see the church restored to her true apostolic foundations and a simpler, more authentic way of being Christ’s community on earth. Go to ‘ABOUT” and you can get the rest of the story.
Now semi-retired I share my time between helping to run the local Salvation Army Family Store and the local community radio KeppelFM 91.3, and editing the Australian Oikos magazine. You may find references to these in our ramblings.
Hope you enjoy.

Between 1970 and 1980, Shabana Azmi drifted the wave of Indian cinema with her powerful performances in movies like Arth, Mandi, and Sparsh. Daughter of famous poet Kaifi Azmi, Shabana Azmi started her career from Ankur, directed by Shekhar Kapur after which she never looked back. She gave some immortal performances with his favourite actor Naseeruddin Shah and was counted as the most successful actresses of her time. Here we penned down 5 movies for which she took one step further to ace her acting.
Contents
1. Going Bald For A Movie
2. Playing The Role Of Lesbian
3. Powerpack Performance In “Mandi’ As A Prostitute
4. The Fierce “Godmother”
5. Hunting Down Kids In Makdee
An Ode To This Lady!!
1. Going Bald For A Movie
Shabana is one of the most versatile actresses in the entire Bollywood. She went bald for a movie Water, directed by Meera Nair while depicting the role of a widow in the movie. Shabana always shows complete commitment towards her characters. In one of her interview she once quoted:
“Acting has to come from truth, from your core. Aapki mitti geeli honi chahiye. We are scared of people when we don’t know them. From a prostitute to a house help, I always associated with the people I was going to play.”
2. Playing The Role Of Lesbian
This was one of the most controversial roles of Shabana’s life where she played the role of a lesbian romancing onscreen with Nandita Das. The movie “Fire” showed an intense drive of human depicting the several emotions and phases of a woman’s life.
We are all victims of a patriarchal mindset that privileges the boy over the girl. The solution is the mindset transformation. You can get laws in place, but for laws to be internalised, for mindsets to change.
3. Powerpack Performance In “Mandi’ As A Prostitute
Shyam Benegal’s piece of art depicts Shabana as self-seeking brothel owner making some valid point on today’s moral policing to a great extent. From Shabana’s Hyderabadi accent to her audacity in delivering dialogues will make you bow down in front of her talent for sure.
4. The Fierce “Godmother”
Playing the role of Santokben Jadeja, a mafia turned politician from Gujarat portrays the role of a strong lady who loves maternal adjectives as much as she loves her armour. Shabana’s role was quite determined and she has done complete justice to it. Taking about playing such roles at this age, she once said:
The trick of enjoying life is to accept your age. Don’t fight the years, grow with them.
5. Hunting Down Kids In Makdee
The role of a witch was quite a challenge for any mainstream actor, but Shabana took this challenge and never looked any hideous than this. Her role in the movie was quite terrifying that literally scared the hell out of kids. Her career has seen quite twists and turns throughout her life on which she once said:
I feel my career is all about being at the right place at the right time. When I came, the parallel cinema movement just happened. If I hadn’t got those opportunities then my talent would have just been a closely guarded secret that no one knew about.

Buckle up, because we’ve got a lot to get through with this little vault and its naming. First, this is one of the myriad skills Nellie Kim has gone back and named after herself in the code of points over the years, but this one is especially rich because Nellie Kim and Natalia Shaposhnikova both successfully landed this vault at the 1978 world championships. In the code of points, however, it is named after Kim only, and Natalia Shaposhnikova is nowhere to be found. Also nowhere to be found are the generations of gymnasts (until this very quad) who co-founded a skill at the same competition as another gymnast doing the same skill and got it named after neither of them. The rules are different for Nellie.
Also, the number of people who call this vault “The Kim” is zero.
Now to the issue of “Tsuk full” versus “Kasamatsu.” For the purposes of the women’s code of points, these are the same vault—the same entry, the same amount of twisting—and if you’d like to just leave it there, you are permitted to do so. The precise technical difference between the two vaults, however, concerns the direction of twisting. In a Kasamatsu, your left-handed round-off onto the table continues twisting to the left. In a Tsukahara full, your left-handed round-off onto the table becomes twisting to the right.
This is important in the men’s code, where a Tsuk full and a Kasamatsu are specifically different vaults. In the women’s code, the two are not differentiated, so the difference is not significant. Because pretty much everyone these days performs the vault with the Kasamatsu technique, the two terms are used interchangeably in women’s gymnastics, but remember that Kasamatsu refers to a Tsukahara with a full twist. So then a Kas full would be the same as a Tsukahara double full.

Springdale Farm is a public demonstration farm and home to Balcony Point, a special occasion and conference venue available for weddings, corporate retreats, birthday parties and more.
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, animals are living at nearby farms, the buildings are closed and all programs are cancelled. If you would like to receive notice of when our children’s programs re-open, leave your email address in the form below and we will contact you when they’re available again. Please like our Facebook page to stay up to date on our latest news.
Springdale Farm is in Northampton Park, where you can do the following activities:
Hike the forest trail and keep an eye out for hidden fairy treasures all year round, weather permitting.
Enjoy the playground.
Have a picnic at the gazebo or pavilion. The pavilion is an outdoor open shelter that requires a reservation for gatherings occurring April through September. Visitors who want to enjoy the rest of the park are free to do so year-round.
Visit our only four-legged farmyard resident right now, Ricky the pig.
Hang out and enjoy the greenspace.
Our buildings are closed to the public. Certain areas are available for special occasions at Balcony Point, where weddings, birthday parties, corporate team-building meetings and many more private events are scheduled. Please explore this site to learn more.
