Heather Cunningham is the new owner of Inspirations Salon and Spa. After working in the salon for four years as a stylist, Heather asked Sheila Thompson if she would consider selling the popular downtown business. Wheels were set in motion. Several months later Heather became the owner, not of one, but of two locations, the other one being in the Camrose Resort Casino’s Best Western hotel.

When she's not at the range, Ludwig works as an administrative assistant for Power to Change, a non-profit group formerly called Campus Crusade for Christ. "We're involved in a lot of different ministries," said Ludwig. "We deal with athletes and students on campuses and provide aid to different countries with water wells and food distribution. It is exciting and a privilege to be able to assist those who need help." Ludwig said she chose Augustana because of its drama program. "I was there for three years and it was a great experience. Augustana is a great university." Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut said all the members of the Canadian Olympic Team have equally compelling stories to share. "Their skill and dedication are a welcome addition to the outstanding Canadians nominated to the Canadian Olympic team." Canada has tasted success in shooting at previous Olympics, taking home nine medals between 1904 and 1984. The last medal in shooting that Canada won came courtesy of Linda Thom, who took home gold at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
Augustana Dean Dr. Allen Berger elected president of COPLAC By Christopher Thrall, communications specialist, Augustana campus, University of Alberta
On June 23, the University of Alberta’s Dr. Allen Berger, Dean of Augustana Faculty, was elected president of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). The organization of 26 institutions – of which Augustana Campus is the sole Canadian member – promotes the value of a high-quality, arts and sciences education in residential campus settings. “It’s an honour to be elected to serve as COPLAC’s president,” says Dean Berger. “I have
been involved with the organization since 2000 and have had ample opportunity to observe COPLAC’s important work. These institutions represent an important sector in post-secondary education, and I believe they provide extraordinary value.” A liberal arts education typically is defined by a commitment to a broad-based, general education in addition to study in a major. There is an emphasis on preparing students for meaningful careers, but also on educating the whole person, e.g., as a future citizen and leader. More recently, it has included community place-
ments – which challenge students to apply theories from the classroom to real-life challenges – and support for formalized undergraduate research. COPLAC institution students benefit from close relationships with faculty and staff and have extensive opportunities to practice their learning in co-curricular settings, both on and off campus. In many larger university settings, close faculty mentorship and research opportunities are available only to graduate students. “I plan to help COPLAC advance two important priorities,” says Dean Berger. “The
first is cross-institutional collaboration on faculty-guided research and community-service learning opportunities for students. The second is effectively communicating the message that a liberal arts and sciences education is a perfect match for the twenty-first century skills that businesses and industries are seeking.” COPLAC seeks to shape the perceptions of both legislators and the general public. Recently COPLAC has sponsored faculty and student exchanges, staff professional development opportunities, summer institutes and shared studyabroad programs to increase the
value of the education for each student. COPLAC also supports regional undergraduate research conferences and publishes outstanding undergraduate scholarship. “COPLAC provides Augustana with an important network of colleagues across North America who are working at similar institutions that face similar challenges,” says Berger. “They are a valuable reference group for us, providing many good ideas and helping to ensure that an Augustana education is on a par with the best small-university experience anywhere.”
