Members of the Augsburg Community,

You are invited to participate in a study focusing on the mental health impact of Operation Metro Surge, in which the Department of Homeland Security sent approximately 3000 ICE and Border Control agents to the Twin Cities beginning in December 2025 and officially lasting through mid-February of 2026.

Prof. James Vela-McConnell, in the Department of Sociology here at Augsburg, is conducting an anonymous survey that is intended to further document the impact of this event on our community and ourselves and you are invited to participate. This online survey should take approximately 30 minutes and can be completed at your convenience. At the end of the survey, you will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for one of six $50 gift cards or one of eight $25 gift. Alternatively, the raffle winners may choose to donate the value of their gift card to a local organization working to support immigrant residents of the Twin Cities metro.

To take the survey, check your emails for your invitation to participate or simply click on the link below for the flyer with the link & QR code.

Also, we are hoping to include as many residents of the Twin Cities area as possible in this research on the mental health impact of Operation Metro Surge. Please feel free forward the flyer and invite your local family, friends, neighbors, etc. to participate. In addition to the entire Augsburg community, anyone who lives and/or works in the Twin Cities metro region and is 18 years of age or older may participate.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Did you know Augsburg is home to a community garden with 65 individual plots for neighbors and 3 student-led communal plots? Does this intrigue you? Does environmental stewardship and radical inclusivity inspire you? Are you interested in learning more or participating? Then you should join the garden committee!!

We are currently looking for students, staff, faculty and community members to be a part of the garden committee to share inspiration, ideas and help make decisions that will shape the future of the garden. We meet once a month for about an hour and a half. For more information, please email Greta at klawiter@augsburg.edu

As we near the end of another year please don’t forget to take care of your campus mailbox. This includes checking it for any mail, returning your lock and filing out the survey for what you would like us to do with your mail after this semester.

One weeks after the spring semester ends (on May 15, 2025) we will close all student campus boxes unless you responded to the End of Year survey. If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please fill out the form
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeA6NyaiFZI2pFW_1SD6hEHCflfjaZ00b1ZRyzbqLNKp78SXA/viewform?usp=header).

Before the fall semester starts we will reassign campus boxes to all residential students. Without completing the survey, it will most likely be a different number.

We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail. Packages must be looked at case by case. Some USPS will allow forwarding. (Reply to the Augsburg package email and we will look at that package.) Other packages (UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc.), magazines, non-profit mail and standard mail will not be forwarded. We can also only forward to USA addresses. The forwarding period for the Augsburg Mailroom is two months from when the request is submitted. Afterward any additional mail we receive will be returned to sender.

We request that you contact the people/business sending you mail and update your address with them. Augsburg is classified as a business so you will not be able to do so through the US Post Office itself. Enrolling in online/electronic bills or statements can also be a smart option, it is environmentally friendly, secure and will often save you time (and sometimes money). Asking us to forward your mail does not change your mailing address with the USPS or Augsburg University, just with the Mailroom.
