As a united University community, we continue to seek ways to offer resources that support faculty and staff, both on and off campus. The need to pay attention to what is happening around us remains.
For those who are interested in community defense training, the following options are available:
• States at the Core, who offer multiple online training sessions each month to a nationwide audience.
• Monarca, a local Minnesota organization that offers several in-person training sessions throughout the greater Twin Cities and western WI.
For those who are interested in attending training in community, Human Resources, the Provost’s Office, and the Post 1/20 Task Force have reserved space on campus, and will be streaming a 90-minute live webinar presented by States at the Core on the following dates:
Wednesday, April 1 (OGC/Oren 201) – Tomorrow!
The webinars are identical; is not necessary to attend all of them.
• The webinar will begin at 6:00 p.m.
• Augsburg will register as an institution, no individual registration is required.
• As this is a nationwide webinar, the audience is not visible.
• Those who are interested in attending the training off-campus should individually register.
As additional training and resources become available for faculty and staff, we will continue to provide those opportunities to all.

I’m Ian Leppik, and I’m a student here at Augsburg University. I’m doing a class project related to teaching modalities at our school, specifically about using virtual access to class (e.g., Zoom or video calls) as a tool for when personal emergencies prevent a student from attending in-person. I want to know how many professors are able to set up virtual access to their in-person classes right now, as well as what factors prevent you from providing virtual access to students.
I would appreciate all faculty input, so please consider taking this survey by the end of the week before spring break. It’s brief, only 7 questions long, and it will help me understand the current state of instruction at our university and make Augsburg a better place to learn.
