Public Safety and Facilities Announcements

Protestor on Friday, August 30

submitted by grewe@augsburg.edu

Many students, faculty, and staff saw and heard an individual on the public sidewalk in front of Anderson Music Hall on Friday, August 30. That individual has been to Augsburg before, either in Murphy Square (public park) or on the public sidewalk.

Per the City of Minneapolis, individuals may protest on public sidewalks as long as they do not impede pedestrians; a permit is required if a protestor wants to use amplified sound (microphone, bullhorn, etc.).

Messages conveyed by the protestor are not supported by the University. Augsburg University supports the right of individuals to protest.

Many thanks to members of the Augsburg community for supporting each other and keeping one another safe.

Paid Simulated Patient Opportunity

submitted by lohmannm@augsburg.edu

The Augsburg PA Program is looking for Simulated Patients (SIMs) to participate in a few sessions for our students to get practice in a clinical scenario. Participants will get a scenario based on the Unit that covers a diagnosis or list of symptoms that they will need to report to the students in a simulated visit. Acting experience is not required and the scenarios never include invasive exams/procedures or administration of medication.

Each Simulated Patient (Sim) will be interacting with 3-4 groups of 3-4 students at a time with some break time in between each. Each opportunity will be paid at 25/hr and is usually 4 hours long. We will be hosting these at our clinical skills lab, just across from campus.

If you have any questions, please email me at lohmannm@augsburg.edu

If you are interested, please fill out the form for your preferred topics and availability.

New Academic Year, New Event Request Form

submitted by obeys@augsburg.edu

University Events has been working hard to launch a new request form for all events and meeting reservations. So that all requests can be saved in the same place, it is essential that faculty and staff use this form to submit all requests regardless of whether your event is basic or more complicated. Please note that if your event requires any special set up, catering, AV requests, etc. we require at least 15 business days (but more time is strongly recommended to ensure your event is a success). The new form, as well as all resources for planning your event, can be found at https://sites.augsburg.edu/events/

Student groups and organizations should submit event requests through Auggie Life.

If you have trouble submitting the form, please screenshot the issue and email it to events@augsburg.edu so that we can look into fixing the issue.
