As the semester wraps up, Campus Kitchen has an important ask: please fill out our 2025 Impact Survey! The results from this survey help us to prioritize the ingredients and supplies you want to see in the Campus Cupboard and set shopping hours that work for the most people, as well as letting us know about cooking workshops you’d like to see, SNAP/WIC application support needs and nutrition and food needs on campus in general. This information also helps us to apply for funding to keep the cupboard stocked!

2 randomly selected students who fill out the survey will receive $20 cash each! Please complete the survey by May 16th, and share it with 3 friends who have also shopped at the Campus Cupboard or come to our events!

The survey only takes a few minutes, and filling it out helps us meet your needs better each year. Fill it out today!

Colleagues, the library needs your help! To celebrate our graduates, we will be creating a window of inspiration, filled with post-it notes with life advice, uplifting messages, and general words of wisdom. The idea is that our graduates can come through the library and take a post-it or two that brings encouragement, motivation for the future, or a message that just makes them smile. One message per post-it note!

We would love to have messages from across our campus community for our students to take with them. We have blank post-its at the Service Desk in the library, or if you contact Tanya with the email in this post, we will send some post-it notes to you or your department. The window of graduation inspiration will go up the week of April 28th, so please drop your notes to the Library Service Desk by May 2nd.

As we near the end of another year please don’t forget to take care of your campus mailbox. This includes checking it for any mail, returning your lock and filing out the survey for what you would like us to do with your mail after this semester.

Two weeks after the spring semester ends (on May 23, 2025) we will close all student campus boxes unless they responded to the End of Year survey. If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please fill out this survey
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen8Hb9X2VU3VbQWqr9sPleUUk0pJROmx7iM6sr-lfY4vjgMw/viewform?usp=sharing).

Before the fall semester starts we will reassign campus boxes to all residential students. Without completing the survey, it will most likely be a different number.

We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail. Packages must be looked at case by case. Some USPS will allow forwarding. (Reply to the Augsburg package email and we will look at that package.) Other packages (UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc.), magazines, non-profit mail and standard mail will not be forwarded. We can also only forward to USA addresses. The forwarding period for the Augsburg Mailroom is two months from when the request is submitted. Afterward any additional mail we receive will be returned to sender.

We request that you contact the people/business sending you mail and update your address with them. Augsburg is classified as a business so you will not be able to do so through the US Post Office itself. Enrolling in online/electronic bills or statements can also be a smart option, it is environmentally friendly, secure and will often save you time (and sometimes money). Asking us to forward your mail does not change your mailing address with the USPS or Augsburg University, just with the Mailroom.

End of the year Campus Box survey

Following a competitive bid process conducted this academic year, Augsburg has selected two new partners to run its campus store. Beginning in late May, eCampus will be the university’s partner for adopting and ordering course materials; and University Gear Shop will run the on-campus store, offering branded merchandise, supplies, and a service center for students to pick up and return course materials purchased or rented from eCampus.

We have engaged staff and faculty from various areas of campus to support this transition. Initial work is underway in IT integration, student accounts processes, and review of the physical store space. We are working with both new partners, as well as Barnes & Noble, to establish a number of key dates, including:
>>faculty training on the eCampus course adoption site,
>>final deadline for Summer Time 2 and Fall course material adoptions on the Barnes & Noble AIP system,
>>switching over to the eCampus course material adoption site and course materials online store,
>>closure and move-out of the Barnes & Noble store and re-opening of the Augsburg University Campus Store, run by University Gear Shop.

For departments needing to order Augsburg-branded merchandise in the near term, please contact marketing@augsburg.edu. The Marketing team will collaborate with University Gear Shop to help you select items and get orders placed.

Finally, as noted in the Provost’s Weekly Update, faculty should complete all Summer and Fall course material adoptions in the current Barnes & Noble AIP system as soon as possible. Between now and the to-be-confirmed cutover date, Barnes & Noble will periodically provide eCampus with data files listing all course materials adopted for Summer Time 2 and Fall terms. The earlier your adoptions are captured in the system, the more time eCampus will have to source the needed materials for your courses.

Please watch for future A-mail posts for specific transition milestone dates, as they are confirmed.
