Helpline: We Answer Your Questions

submitted by hermansb@augsburg.edu

We have launched a new Augsburg University Helpline to handle questions from students, faculty and staff. The intent is not to circumvent offices with responsibility for various campus functions but to help students (and others) navigate university systems in the complexity of our current situation.

The Helpline will be open from noon-4pm each day during this first week (March 23 -27).

To reach us, call 612-474-3100.

We will expand Helpline hours beginning March 30th and will provide updated information in A-mail and on Inside Augsburg.

Doug Rosenberg departure (Thanks for all your work, Doug)

submitted by rjohn@augsburg.edu

Yesterday afternoon would have been Doug Rosenberg’s send-off celebration. Doug Rosenberg accepted a new role with Common Hope in Saint Paul, and is leaving his role as Manager of Purchasing and Central Services at Augsburg after today.

Instead of a party, Doug spent the hour on Zoom with me making sure Augsburg had all the information needed to continue our strong relationships with our service partners. During this time of transition, we are in the process of asking existing staff members from other parts of the division to take on various responsibilities in purchasing and central services. If you have a question about who is handling the various roles Doug has filled over the past two years, please let me know.

In the meantime, please join me in wishing Doug all the best in his new position at Common Hope!

Best regards,
Rebecca
