Friday August 20 – 8th St S Restricted
To help provide space for students moving into Anderson and Luther we ask that people do not park on 8th St. For those moving in, we ask that you use 8th St to unload your vehicles then move them into a parking lot to continue to provide space for others who need to unload their vehicles.
Thursday August 26th and Friday August 27th – Lot D Reserved
For both Thursday August 26 and Friday August 27th Lot D will be reserved for First Year students and their families. All vehicles will need to be cleared out of Lot D by 6 a.m. on August 26th and August 27th – any vehicles remaining in Lot D after 6 a.m. each day may be relocated to Lot L at the owner’s expense.
Friday August 27th and Monday August 30th – Lot E Closed
Visitor and accessibility spaces in Lot E will be closed August 27 and August 30 for class pictures that are being taken on the steps of Old Main. Any visitors, vendors or contractors should be directed to park in Lot A on these days.
We will not be enforcing permits in our surface lots until September, with the exception of reserved parking spaces, so all other surface lots will be open to students, staff and faculty during the move-in days. Please email publicsafety@augsburg.edu with any questions about parking during move-in.

All students, staff, and faculty are required to wear face coverings in indoor campus spaces, except when eating in dining areas or when in one’s own residential unit or individual office with the door closed. This applies to all U.S. Augsburg locations. (International Augsburg locations are following local protocols.) Masks or face coverings are not required outdoors.
Over the weekend of July 31-August 1, the regional case rates in both Hennepin and Ramsey counties moved to a “substantial” transmission rate (between 50 and 99.99 cases per 100,000 population over 7 days, as defined by the CDC). As a result, Augsburg reinstated the indoor face covering requirement, effective Tuesday, August 3.

Are you interested in working with youth? If you see yourself working someday as a youth worker, coach, teacher, counselor, etc. then you should consider registering today for YST320 WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND YOUTH – Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:40 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. This course will provide students with practical perspectives and experiences in work with children and youth. We will cover both theoretical frameworks for emancipatory work with youth and focused examinations of different types of youth work. Throughout the course, we will consider how our own positionality and experiences affect our engagements in work with youth and children. And consider adding the Youth Studies Minor to your course of studies.
Welcome incoming first years and returning students! My name is Ilhan Ahmed and I’m the new president for the Pan-Afrikan Student Union. I believe I speak for everyone when I say the pandemic has robbed us of our college experiences and for some, it has taken much more than just an experience. PASU not only understands but is also prepared to assist our incoming first-year students and returning students in adjusting to this new life. With that being said, we’re looking for three passionate students who can help accomplish this goal. Event Coordinator, Treasurer, and First-Year Representative are the three positions available on the PASU board. Please fill out the PASU Board Application if you’re interested. Keep an eye out for upcoming events!
