28 October - Exemplary FYE programs
Colleagues:
Several faculty asked that I resend the link to a webpage containing a number
of regional and exemplary FYE programs in light of our Faculty Senate
discussions. Please note that there are several new links within the page based
on responses I got to the initial posting.

27 October - Symposium E-mail Follow-up
To: Faculty
From: Mark Krejci, Interim Dean & VP for Academic Affairs
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
I want to clarify the intent of my earlier e-mail encouraging faculty to ask
students to remain for the question and answer sessions during Symposium plenary
sessions. The FRWA Committee came to me with this request at the beginning of
October and we decided I would send the message you received this morning during
the week prior to the symposium. After sending this message, a member of the
faculty forwarded to me an e-mail sent last night by the Concordia SAGA
(Straight and Gay Alliance). This message informed those on their mailing list
about a state-wide walkout scheduled for Nov. 1 at 11:15 to protest the
Constitutional amendment on the North Dakota ballot regarding the definition of
marriage.
Given the timing of my e-mail from earlier today and the e-mail last night,
it could be misinterpreted that the FRWA Committee is trying to squelch free
speech. I want to assure the community that the timing of my memo on the heals
of the SAGA e-mail was coincidental. In no way do I want my message to be
misconstrued as an attempt to stop the free expression of views that is so
central to our nation's democracy.
27 October - Carl L. Bailey Centennial Faculty Scholar Lecture
"Nash Equilibria, Basins of Attraction, and Chaos in Economics."
Dr. Douglas Anderson, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Nicholas Myran '05,
West Concord, MN, and Dustin White '05, Great Falls, MT, will present the second
faculty scholar lecture of the Fall 2004 semester on Thursday, October 28, 7
p.m., in Jones Science 212.
Dr. Anderson and his two student co-inquirers analyze a nonlinear Coumot
duopoly model developed by Austrian economist Michael Kopel, using recent
techniques from the theory of discrete dynamical systems. Tracking the
parameters, they find and classify the Nash equilibria, pinpointing bifurcation
points and a period doubling route to chaos among the attractors. Sharkovskii's
Theorem is used to interpret the dynamic change in the asymptotic stability of
solutions. Of particular interest to this research team is the parameter case
where three distinct Nash equilibria attract certain regions of the state space.
Using mathematical analysis, linear algebra, and Mathematica 5.0 they completely
determine the nature and extent of the basins of attraction for each equilibrium
in this case.
All are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
27 October - Symposium
To: Faculty
From: Mark Krejci, Interim Dean & VP for Academic Affairs FRWA Symposium
Committee
Faculty Colleagues,
On behalf of the FRWA Symposium Committee, I am asking you to help our
students understand the relevance and importance of the question and answer
period during the plenary presentations. As most of you know, students often
leave after the plenary address has ended and either before or during the
subsequent question period. The Symposium Committee asks that you remind your
students that this session is an important part of the proceedings. In addition
it reflects poorly on them and is not respectful of our guest speakers.
The Committee thanks you for encouraging your students to attend the
Symposium and appreciate the many ways faculty have incorporated the Symposium
into their courses.
On behalf of the 04 Symposium Committee, Mark
26 October - American Indian Heritage Month
To: Faculty
From: Sharon Eagleman, Director American Indian Recruiting and Programming
Re: Concordia College to celebrate American Indian Heritage Month
Concordia College will celebrate November as American Indian Heritage Month
by presenting a series of educational programs on a number of intriguing topics
such as native spirituality, philosophy, artistry, and social issues. I invite
you to use these as a teaching opportunity in your classes. The theme for this
year is "NATIVE REALITIES". The events focus on the diverse
perspectives and experiences of American Indians throughout the United States,
particularly in the Midwest. Please encourage members of our campus community
and the Fargo-Moorhead community to attend! A complete
list of events is attached.
All events are free and open to the public. For more information, call
American Indian Programs, Concordia College, at (218) 299-4171.
26 October - Upcoming Open Senate Meetings
To: Faculty
From: Mark Krejci, Interim Dean & VP for Academic Affairs
Dear Colleagues,
In order to facilitate voting during the upcoming open Senate meetings,
Senators will have name tags at the door that SCC is asking you to wear so that
we are able to quickly see who should be given a ballot. All faculty will be
invited to comment, but only Senators may offer amendments and vote during the
proceedings.
Thank you for your cooperation, Mark
25 October - Community Time (10/29): Vision for Liberal Arts
To: Faculty
From: Mark Krejci, Interim Dean & VP for Academic Affairs
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
During this Friday's Community Time (10/29) the faculty is invited to a
discussion on our vision for liberal arts at Concordia College. I decided to
offer this time for discussion for a number of reasons: 1) The Carnegie
Foundation has written that they will drop the "National Liberal Arts
College" designation when the re-format their categories next fall which
will make it all the more incumbent upon us to define our identity as a Liberal
Arts college, 2) Faculty have talked about the role the Goals for Liberal
Learning play in defining our Liberal Arts identity - some say that this
document defines LA at Concordia while others do not agree, and 3) Faculty
suggested after this year's Fall Workshop that this was an issue that we needed
to discuss as a faculty.
For these reasons, and also because it is good for us to gather and discuss
Concordia's identity, I am inviting you to an open discussion on The Liberal
Arts at Concordia College. To stimulate discussion, I asked four faculty to
prepare short reflections on their views of the Liberal Arts at Concordia. These
documents will be placed in your P.O. box today. The authors will not present
nor do we necessarily need to respond to their ideas. Rather, Friday's community
time will be an open discussion that will not have any agenda. Please come and
share your thoughts on our identity as a Liberal Arts college on Friday, October
29th in the Centrum.

25 October - Graduate and Continuing Studies Program
To: Faculty
From: Mark Krejci, Interim Dean & VP for Academic Affairs
Dear Faculty,
Concordia has now entered graduate education and has launched a certificate
program. The Graduate and Continuing Studies program is operational and as of
this fall, Concordia has enrolled two students studying for graduate degrees
through the Department of Nursing. We also have a certificate program in
Workplace Computer Applications taught by Fran Dexter. Both programs were
organized last year and it is gratifying to see them come to fruition.
As we proceed in these areas, we need to develop a stronger infrastructure to
support these programs. Additionally, we will proceed with other programs over
time. Rebecca Amundsen, Assistant to the Dean, will be the point person for
developing the needed infrastructure. She will also be working with faculty as
they develop new programs. If you have any ideas regarding graduate or
certificate programs, please contact Rebecca.

19 October - Senate Agenda
Faculty Colleagues,
Included in this e-mail is the Senate Agenda regarding our discussion and
debate on the Summer Task Force Resolutions. All faculty will receive a paper
copy of the agenda and the motions. Curriculum Coordinating Committee, in
conversation with Senate Coordinating Committee, developed a mechanism to allow
for wider participation in the discussion on the motions. Thus, Senate meetings
have been scheduled on a number of days later in the afternoon in the Centrum.
We encourage all faculty, Senators and non-Senators alike, to attend and
participate in these meetings. The Faculty Constitution states that Senate
meetings are open for all faculty to attend. Faculty not serving on Senate are
encouraged to participate in the discussion of the motions but only members of
the Senate will be allowed to vote on the motions. It is recognized that not all
faculty can attend these meetings and so you are encouraged to share your
perspectives with your representatives on Senate.

15 October - Scholarship Opportunity
We need your help with a wonderful scholarship opportunity. The $14,000 Jay
and Rose Phillips Scholarship is awarded to six current sophomores each year
from the 16 Minnesota Private Colleges. Concordia has not had a recipient since
2001 and last year we didn't have any applicants!
Successful applicants are usually high achievers who are already
demonstrating leadership and innovation in community service or campus
activities. An essential element of the Phillips Scholars Program is the
requirement that students design and initiate a summer community service
project. This project must involve leadership activities or leadership potential
- not just volunteerism. The summer community service project must involve
approximately 9 concentrated weeks of full time service at approximately 40
hours per week. The project is designed during the student 's junior year and
implemented between the junior and senior year.
Do you know of any students who may be potential applicants - students who
are high achievers who are already demonstrating leadership and innovation in
community service or campus activities? If so, please suggest to the student
that he or she make an appointment to meet with Jane Williams in the Financial
Aid Office (3010) to determine if he or she meet the financial need criteria and
to find out more about the application process. Thank you for your assistance
with this important scholarship. Please call me if you have any questions.

12 October - Symposium
Colleagues,
The Symposium Committee asked me to relay the following information in order
to address any misconceptions that linger. Based upon the action of the Faculty
Senate last spring, the regular class schedule is suspended during the 2004
Faith, Reason, and World Affairs Symposium to facilitate both student and
faculty attendance at Symposium events. You are encouraged to incorporate these
events into your classes.
Let me also use this memo to thank the Symposium Committee for the fine
program they have developed. It is an example of the type of activity in which
we want our students to participate so that they develop into thoughtful and
informed people. While the topic does not directly relate to my one class that I
am teaching this semester, I look forward to taking the time in class to discuss
the presentation that we will attend as a class. So, in the end, I want to thank
the Committee for enriching our classrooms and thus enriching our campus.

11 October - database of faculty/staff info on grad schools
Dear Faculty,
I wanted to include words of support for Jay's
initiative. Over the years, I have referred students interested in graduate
school in psychology to my colleagues who have attended graduate programs at
universities that are unfamiliar to me. Even though these colleagues did not
receive their degree in psychology, they often knew of the reputation of the
department and all could address the quality of the institution. I have done the
same for those students interested in learning more about the university where I
received my graduate education. Jay's proposal will help to develop this network
on campus as we continue to strengthen our assistance to our students who are
seeking graduate school admissions.

8 October - Dr. Lisa Sethre-Hofstad - Faculty Lecture
Arctic Adaptations to Midnight Sun: Children's Sleeping Patterns in Northern
Norway
Dr. Lisa Sethre-Hofstad, Associate Professor, Psychology, Concordia College,
and Dr. Tove I. Dahl, Associate Professor, Psychology, University of Tromsų,
Norway, will present on Monday, October 11, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. in Birkeland
Alumni Lounge.
Dr. Sethre-Hofstad, while on sabbatical leave in Tromsų, collaborated with
Dr. Dahl on a project to investigate the sleeping and waking patterns of
children living 240 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The researchers were
specifically interested in the degree to which extreme periods of lightness and
darkness, during summer and winter months in Tromsų, had an impact on
children's abilities to meet daily demands. The presentation will report on
findings to date.
Dr. Dahl is affiliated with Concordia through the Concordia Language Villages
program and has served, since 1978, as Dean of Skogfjorden, the Norwegian
Language Village.
Funding for this project was received from the Fulbright Foundation, the
American-Scandinavian Foundation, and the University of Tromsų Psychology
Institute.
Presentation sponsored by Concordia College Psychology Department and the
Office of Academic Affairs.
8 October - Nobel Peace Prize Forum Call for Proposals
TO: All Concordia College Faculty
FROM: Lowell Larson, Nobel Peace Prize Forum Coordinator
RE: 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Forum Saturday Seminar Proposals
Each year Concordia College is well represented at the Nobel Peace Prize
Forum with faculty and student concurrent session presentations on topics
related to the theme of the conference. Please peruse the Call for Proposals
below and consider submitting a proposal to the Augsburg planning committee for
the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Forum. I would also ask that you encourage students
to submit proposals. The following information gives complete details on the
topic, the details of the concurrent session format, reimbursement, and
instructions for submitting your proposal. If you have any questions please call
me at 299-4366. Please note that the proposals should be submitted by November
1st.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Saturday Seminars The 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Forum
Striving for Peace: Uniting for Justice February 11-12, 2005 Augsburg College
The 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Forum will be held at Augsburg College,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, from the afternoon of Friday February 11 through the
afternoon of Saturday February 12. It will honor the work of Shirin Ebadi, 2003
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, whose work on the rights of women and children and
her promotion of tolerance in the Muslim world provide the inspiration for this
year's call for proposals.
Plenary speakers at the Forum include Mary Robinson, former Prime Minister
of Ireland and Director of the United Nation's Human Rights Commission, and Dr.
Sima Semar, director of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and
an advocate for health care and women's rights in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The planning committee invites proposals for seminar topics related to the
theme "Striving for Peace: Uniting for Justice." This year, the
conference focus is on the work of women in the area of human rights,
particularly in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the relationship between
that work and the cause of peace. In reviewing proposals, we will particularly
be looking for papers and presentations that address the challenges of bringing
together disparate groups and perspectives in constructive dialogue on the basis
of a recognition of shared rights. As well, preference will be given to those
proposals exploring how traditions and customs rooted in particular cultures can
be reconciled with the notions such as rights, which at least theoretically
transcend particular cultures and make some claim to universality. Given that
the conference also falls shortly after the Presidential inauguration,
presentations examining the implications for the next U.S. Administration in
relation to human rights and Central Asia will also be considered.
Presentations will take place during two time slots on Saturday morning
9-10:15 and 10:30-11:45. This year we are inviting proposals for three different
formats:
1. Individual seminars (approx. 30 total), offered during both sessions
on Saturday morning; each presenter would make the same presentation during
both time slots. Because the seminars will be relatively brief and because
participants will have the opportunity to hear several plenary presentations,
seminar leaders should minimize lectures and maximize time for conversation
and interaction. Each year student evaluations stress that they prefer
hands-on seminars and that they appreciate suggestions for action.
2. Moderated debates (one extended session from 9-11:45 with a break in
the middle) up to 4 total, that include two presenters, each taking an
opposing viewpoint on a current topic such as the war on terrorism, the
situation in Iraq, U.S.-Iran relations, or human rights in central Asia. These
debates would be moderated by a member of the Augsburg faculty. Each presenter
makes a 20-30 min. opening statement, followed by a response from the other
presenter, and then a period of question and answer.
3. Student research panels (approx. 5 panels) organized as a
mini-academic conference for students from any of the consortium colleges on
topics of relevance to the conference topics. These will run the full time
(9-11:45) with each panelist making a 10-15 presentation, and the remaining
time being devoted to discussion. Proposals for individual posters, papers and
panels are welcome.
Faculty, staff and students from sponsoring institutions in all
disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals. We will also entertain proposals
from alumni, as well as people from other institutions, NGOs, the religious
community, the government, and the general public.
Proposals must be received by Monday, November 1, and should be sent via
the on-line application form at: http://www.augsburg.edu/ppf/
Be sure to indicate any multimedia needs you have so that we will be able
to accommodate as many of these needs as possible. Applicants will be notified
in mid-November regarding the status of their proposals. An honorarium of $150
will be available for each presenter or group of presenters. In addition,
seminar leaders will receive complimentary conference registration, lodging, and
meals at the Forum.

4 October - Faculty Colloquium Series
Dr. Dawn Duncan, Associate Professor, English will present on Tuesday,
October 5, 4:30 p.m., in Frida Nilsen Lounge.
Dr. Duncan will present her recently published study of "Lady Gregory
and the Feminine Journey: The Gaol Gate, Grania, and The Story Brought By
Brigit." Duncan will show how this famed Irish playwright and activist
takes the Jungian journey of the hero archetype and creates a specifically
feminine content for the frame. The three plays she analyzes prove that a female
writer can both challenge the patriarchal myth-making while holding true to the
frame, yet also diffuse the notion that such a frame cannot be adjusted to
feminist concerns.
All Faculty Colloquium Series are scheduled on Tuesday afternoons, 4:30-5:30
p.m., in Frida Nilsen Lounge. All are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
