We probably all have some Augsburg College paper that will need to disappear soon. Instead of recycling it all, the Environmental Stewardship Committee is working on ways to creatively re-purpose it! More details to come, but if you have paper, hang on to it for now. Notepads, homemade paper, paper mache – what else could we do with this resource…?

We are seeking research participants in a study investigating how our eyes move when locating hidden objects. Participants will have their eye movements monitored while they complete a series of computerized visual search tasks. Eligible participants will be given $5 for their participation in this brief experiment.
All adults over 18 years of age with normal or corrected-to-normal vision are eligible to participate. The task takes less than 30 minutes to complete, and there are no anticipated risks to participation.
