Show moreHow It Started Brian initiated his summer research project by deciding to study new ways to produce biodiesel. After Brian's preliminary research, his professor advised him to contact chemist Dr. Clayton McNeff, an Augsburg alumnus and vice president of SarTec. McNeff, his chief scientist Dr. Ben Yan, and Augsburg's Professor Arlin Gyberg took Brian's idea and created a chemical reaction that has never before been described in scientific literature. As a result of the Mcgyan Process discovery, McNeff co— founded Ever Cat Fuels based in Anoka. It is the only plant in the world using this new method to manufacture biodiesel. Industry analysts have been surprised by how well the Mcgyan Process works and its implications for fuel production worldwide. This process has many advantages over previous biodiesel production methods. It can convert a much wider range of feedstock oils and animal fats into biodiesel, including the byproducts from ethanol production. The Mcgyan Process recycles the catalyst and alcohol necessary to make biodiesel, it reduces the reaction time from hours to seconds, and it doesn't use water or dangerous chemicals. In short, it can make more biodiesel quickly and with a minimal impact on the environment. Because the Mcgyan Process can use a wider range of renewable oils, it has opened the door to a truly Earth—changing possibility. Algae that capture carbon dioxide can be a source of Mcgyan feedstock oil. The use of algae oil simultaneously reduces the demand on arable land for fuel purposes and scrubs the atmosphere of a greenhouse gas. SarTec has conducted research into using algae oils to supply the Mcgyan Process. The corporation is working on the use of algae to reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants while creating a biodiesel feedstock. A patent is now pending on the Mcgyan Process which is named for the three scientists officially credited with the discovery (McNeff, Gyberg, and Yan). Ever Cat Fuels Corporation is currently producing 50,000 gallons of biodiesel per year and is using it as a power source. Its production capacity will increase to 3 million gallons per year when its new plant begins operation in Isanti later this year. Then, Ever Cat Fuels hopes to sell the technology and equipment to nations around the world. All of these remarkable discoveries started with Brian's experiential learning at Augsburg, which is a fundamental part of the college's learning environment. His research will lead Brian to a promising future in science and create opportunities for Augsburg students for years to come. "This one-on-one relationship between professor and student may result in one of modern day's greatest discoveries," says Augsburg President Paul Pribbenow. "Augsburg is proud to be in the forefront and grateful that it may lead to a source of on-going funding that will enable us to take our science program to great heights."

2‘.” Getting Greener by Christine Hanwid
Show more2‘.” Getting Greener by Christine Hanwid< Augsburg has commissioned an architectural firm to design a new sustainable science buildingwith a green roof likely to be a part of that plan, according to college President Paul Pribbenow. The current plan for the new building requires Augsburg to take down the old science building and rebuild what Pribbenow refers to as a signature academic building which would house not only science, but multiple disciplines. "Getting a green roof on a new science building is a real possibility." said Christina Erickson. Augsburg College assistant professor in the MSW program. Green roofs are thin layers of living vegetation installed on top of conventional flat or sloping roofs. The proposed 125—135,000—square—foot building is estimated to cost $40 million to date the college has raised $7 million. Said Pribbenow, "The building will make a clear and compelling statement about the central role of our commitment to science as core to our academic missionand it will be environmentally sound to boot."

For one, the fact that ISO had many people from different background in the committee; so at times it was difficult to have an entirely satisfied group. However, 07—08 was another successful year for ISO as exemplified by events such as a Nicaragua workers awareness discussion, dinner and ice-skating night in downtown and bowling night— Out at Coffman, University of Minnesota, which also attracted many American Students. It was also the 2nd year ISO offered the Study Abroad Liaison position, whose goal was to reach out to Americans who had studied abroad before to join ISO and cooperate with ISO in organizing educational events on global issues. The position has been quite a success in drawing more American students to come join with the international students on campus to exchange ideas and discuss global issues. ()1 Show less

Show moreKerry Jay Frampton Staff ' Al Garver Geoffrey Gill From Augsburg to New York University Article by Amaida Symes Zac Wooten has more than graduation to look forward to this summer. This art history student is on his way to attend New York University in the fall in the profit arts and administration program. At NYU, Zac will earn his Master's in Arts Administration (MAA). Zac discovered his passion for art on a study abroad trip in Italy. There, he learned how art plays a significant role in everyday life in Italy. After returning to Augsburg as a theater major, Zac took a class with art history professor Kristen Anderson on the historical aspects of art. In a subsequent course, Kerry Morgan, Augsburgs art gallery coordinator, noticed Zacs passion for art. He would attend art shows and stay after to ask questions, she 'remembers. Zac had above and beyond an interest in the art brought to campus. He was interested in making art accessible to others. Zac began an internship with Morgan installing and de- installing art exhibits, a position where his theater background proved helpful. Putting on an art show is like a mini theater show, she noted. Zacs first art show had 35 to 40 pieces, and he didnt know where to begin. But with Morgans help, he turned the blank space into a gallery. Art galleries bring education and communities together, according to Zac. He calls himself a facilitator of the arts, building bridges that bring the art world to everyone else. Derek Francis T.J. Glaser Joe Galagher Greg Paape Rose Fricke Thomas J Gouras Alex Grangaard I want to instill in young people that owning original artwork is important socially. Art you connect with has an emotional investment in another human being, said Zac. As a patron of the arts himself, Zac wants younger generations to partake in the importance of art and owning original artwork. With the help of Augsburg faculty, Zac applied to and was accepted to NYU. English professor John Harkness was particularly impressed with Zac. When asked why, Harkness replied, He struck me as having a different kind of maturity and as someone who would fit well with the New York culture. In the NYU program, Zac will have access to high— profile internships and will assist both corporate and private act accounts to help in art buying and art collecting. He will learn management and practice entrepreneurship by working with auction houses in New York. 43 Show less
