There are no words to describe the passing of Dr. Jennie Diaz. The Education Department is working hard to support Augsburg students during this time and also grieving the loss of their beloved friend and colleague. After asking our colleagues in the Education Department what we could do to support them during this difficult time, a meal train surfaced. So, we created a meal train and thought we would share it with Department Chairs so different departments or individuals could have an opportunity to volunteer.
For the dates listed:
Tuesdays would be a meal for 8-10 people to drop off at noon (a fridge, microwave, coffee maker are available)
dietary restrictions: no pork, caffeine is split — two members are fasting for Ramadan
cold or reheat works best as folks teach across the full day and late into the evening
homemade or delivery is all deeply appreciated.
Thursdays would be dropping off dessert, snacks, or beverages (same details as above)
Also, anyone can donate gift cards for Grubhub or DoorDash — the Education Department could have the option to order in what they need as well. But they prefer to just have the food if possible as it is one less thing they have to manage with all these are dealing with. Thank you and we are grateful for your help.
