Suture Lab Workshop

submitted by kundell@augsburg.edu

Wednesday, March 25
6 pm
Hagfors 150A

Learn about the field of podiatric medicine from five physicians as they host a “dry” suture workshop where no bio-hazard refuse is created. Space is limited so email Catherina Kipper at kipper@augsburg.edu to sign up.

Why consider a career in podiatric medicine?
• A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a specialist in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lower extremity disorders, diseases and injuries.
• DPMs can specialize in a variety of areas such as surgery, orthopedics, or public health. Besides these certified specialties, podiatrists may practice a subspecialty such as sports medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, radiology, geriatrics, or diabetic foot care.
• The DPM is a vital member of the health-care team. He or she is often the first to detect symptoms of diabetes or peripheral vascular disease because of the human foot’s interrelation with the rest of the body.

Rumor Has It . . . .

submitted by detloff@augsburg.edu

Some of you may have heard that the CWC office is very busy and not able to see students — that is not true! We currently do have a wait list for ongoing regular counseling appointments, but that does not mean students cannot be seen at all. What it means is that when you contact our office we will find a 30 minute time for you to meet with one of our counselors to determine what help you may need immediately and provide support and resources for you. These 30 minute appointments (depending on your schedule) can usually be scheduled within 24 – 48 hours of contacting the CWC office 612-330-1707. Additionally, we have an after-hours service available whenever the CWC office is closed (evenings, weekends, breaks) where you can speak with a counselor by phone with ProtoCall Services. ProtoCall can be reached by calling the CWC office at 612-330-1707 and pressing option 1. Most important, if you are feeling unsafe and/or worried about the safety of someone else we will see you right away. So please do not listen to the rumors that we are not seeing students because we are too busy. We will do the best we can to see everyone as quickly as possible.

Coil Binding now available

submitted by suter@augsburg.edu

The Augsburg Copy Center now has the machinery and supplies to make plastic coil (spiral) bound books in addition to our comb bound books!

Coil Binding tends to be a little bit more sturdy and will last longer, as well coil bound books can be fully folded over where that cannot be done on comb bound books. Coil binding is a little bit more of a permanent solution, it cannot be re-opened to add/remove pages after the binding is complete without using a new coil like you could with comb bound.

Pricing will be the same as we charge for Comb Binding (all prices are always subject to change). A coil binding will be $1.00 or $1.25 with a clear plastic cover and black plastic back cover (printer/paper costs no included).

If you have any questions on what type of binding would work best the copy center is always available to help answer your questions.

Have Extra Bags You Don’t Want?

submitted by keenern@augsburg.edu

Campus cupboard is in great need for both plastic and paper bags. If you have any bags laying around you don’t want/need we would gladly take those off your hands. Any kind you have (plastic, paper, cloth/reusable) is greatly appreciated. You can drop them off at the cupboard during our open hours generally 10-4 mon-fri or at the donation bin located in Christiensen lobby near Einstein’s. Thank you!
