Travel Advisory: I-94 Closure in Minneapolis This Weekend

submitted by farrisr@augsburg.edu

Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 15, MnDOT will be closing all I-94 entrance and exit ramps between I-35W and Hwy 280, as well as the ramp from eastbound I-94 to Hwy 55.

At 10 p.m., both directions of I-94 will be fully closed in the same area. The closures are necessary to allow crews to restore pavement markings and return traffic to its permanent condition following nearly five months of bridge maintenance work along I-94 in Minneapolis.

To bypass these closures, please follow the posted detour of I-35W to Hwy 36, I-35E to I-94.

By 5 a.m. on Monday, August 18, all lanes and ramps along I-94 will reopen for the Minnesota State Fair through Labor Day, except for one. The ramp from Huron Blvd. to eastbound I-94 will reopen on Wednesday, August 20.

Work will resume after Labor Day to complete the removal of the crossovers and other items such as upgrading the signage and lighting. Most of the work is anticipated to be completed by the end of September 2025. Travelers can expect periodic lane closures in spring 2026 when crews apply a deck sealant to the restored bridges.

All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather and schedule permitting and subject to change.

Visit the MnDOT project website for more information.

Scam Email About a Research Job

submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu

Last week an email scam was directed at some Augsburg students with the subject of “Detailed Requirements.” The email offered a temporary job in a research project. The email was written to appear to come from an Augsburg faculty member. It was well-written which made it seem legitimate.

This email was an example of an employment scam, which are common. Some key red flags in the email were
– Strange From email address
– Not From an Augsburg address
– A job offer that is unusually good (either pay or hours or work involved)
– It was unexpected

You can always email your LFC or the Tech Desk if you’re unsure about the validity of an email.

Host a New International Student for Dinner

submitted by devega@augsburg.edu

Greetings Augsburg Community!

A new semester is just around the corner, and we are expecting NEW international students to join us this Fall Semester—representing countries like Jordan, Syria, South Sudan, South Korea, Nigeria, South Korea, Norway and the UK, to name a few!

As we collaboratively welcome this group, we plan for different experiences including a dinner hosted by you—our faculty, staff, and students—in your homes. These events create a space for our new students to connect directly with members of our community, AND the dinner provides a time for you to learn about the incoming international students and their goals at Augsburg.

Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2025
Time: Pick up at 5 p.m. with a return to campus around 7 p.m.

We ask that our hosts pick up students from campus and return them after dinner.

Sign up to host a new international student for dinner
