Wednesday through Friday this week and Monday of next week we will be walking vendors around to see the locations of copiers and printers. This is part of an Request For Proposal (RFP) process going on for providing and managing the copiers and printers. So you may see small groups visiting your space if you have a printing device.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Shonna Fulford ’09 as director of admissions, effective June 13, 2022. In this role, Shonna will drive new strategic initiatives like the Augsburg Applies 2U direct admission program that will build deeper connections with prospective undergraduate students and their families. Shonna will lead student-centered systems change and recruitment efforts to ensure sustainable first-year and transfer student enrollments.

Shonna brings 13 years of higher education enrollment and admissions experience to this new leadership position, 10 of them at Augsburg. She played a key role in enrolling three of the largest classes in Augsburg’s history in recent years as associate director of admissions and lead supervisor of the first-year recruitment team. A dynamic, motivating presence and inspiring public speaker, she is a member of the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, the Minnesota Association for College Admissions Counseling, and the Minnesota Association for Counselors of Color.

Associate Director of Admissions Paul Kienberger will also take on an expanded role in a re-envisioned division leadership structure. Working closely with Shonna, he will co-manage the division’s human and analytical resources with a focus on training, capacity building, implementing strategic initiatives, and use of predictive analytics.

With more than two decades of combined experience at Augsburg, Paul and Shonna bring the knowledge, experience, and commitment needed to lead inclusive change with strategic partners both on and off campus. Their leadership will advance the vision of the Strategic Enrollment Management division to be a belonging organization that builds deeper relations, changes systems, and dismantles the tenets of white supremacy and oppression in higher education enrollment management.

After many years of service to the Luther Seminary community, Juli Kramer will retire from her role as project and production manager on the shared services marketing team that serves both Luther and Augsburg University effective June 30, the end of the seminary’s fiscal year. I’m excited to share, however, that Juli will still be an active part of the Luther community. She has accepted a part-time role as the managing editor for Word & World beginning July 1.

Juli has been a wonderful and thoughtful colleague, and we will always be grateful for her dedication, commitment, and hard work. I hope you’ll join me in congratulating her on her exciting news! You can leave a note for her using the Google Form below, and I will compile the responses for her on her last day.

This is a reminder that the use of Duo Mobile will be expanding to Inside Augsburg for current faculty and staff the week of June 6th. The requirement will be staggered throughout the week to different groups of people.

We recommend you register your Duo Mobile app as soon as possible to prevent interruption to online services like gmail or moodle.

1. Install Duo Mobile from your phone’s app store.
2. On your laptop/computer, visit https://duo.augsburg.edu and click on Enrollment and Device Management to start the enrollment process. Follow the instructions on the page.
3. The instructions will help you register your Duo Mobile app.

Duo Mobile is a tool to provide multi-factor authentication to online logins. These days phishing attacks (when someone tricks you into sharing your password) are the main way ransomware and data breaches start at organizations. These attacks can cost organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars to clean up. And organizations can be offline for days during the cleanup.

Multi-factor authentication provides you additional protection beyond your password. At least once a week you will need to approve your Inside Augsburg login using the Duo Mobile app.

The LFCs are ready to help people get set up. https://sites.augsburg.edu/it/get-help/faculty-and-staff-support-lfcs/
