The Department of Public Safety has received a few reports related to motor vehicle break-ins in the area in recent days. As a reminder, to discourage vehicle break-ins and theft:
— Do not leave valuables such as computers, cell phones, or backpacks in your vehicle.
— Do not leave cash, coins, credit cards, auto registration or other important papers in plain view or in the glove compartment.
— Whenever possible, bring valuables with you once you have parked your car. If you can’t bring them with you, lock all valuables in the trunk and out of sight.
— Always roll up windows, close the sunroof, and lock your doors before leaving your vehicle.
For assistance or to report suspicious activity, contact the Department of Public Safety at (612) 330-1717.

Writing a personal statement is a standard part of all applications for Fulbright awards, other major grants and fellowships, and graduate school. But finding the right story line and voice is often hard. What exactly is a personal statement? What does it need to do? And what does a good one look like?
If an application is on your horizon, make time to attend a workshop on writing personal statements. This 90-minute session will help you understand what a personal statement is (and is not) and provide examples to guide and inspire.
Wednesday, June 24, 12 noon to 1:30 pm, in Hagfors 151
Tuesday, June 30, 7 to 8:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)
Thursday, July 9, 12 noon to 1:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)
I can offer additional options if these times don’t work for your schedule — just contact me to discuss.

Hello, my name is ShaShee Yang, and I am a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student at Augsburg University. I am conducting a research study about the internalization of Model Minority Myth stereotypes and their impacts on depressive and anxiety symptoms in Asian-American college students. I would love for you to be a part of the study! The study will consist of a brief demographic survey and three standardized questionnaires asking questions about internalization of the Model Minority Myth, current depressive symptoms, and current anxiety symptoms. The entire survey should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. To thank you for your participation, upon completing the surveys, you will have the option to enter your information in a raffle for one of two $25 Caribou Coffee gift cards. If you are interested in participating, please contact me at the email address listed below. I appreciate you taking the time to consider being a part of my project.

Email phishing campaigns are never ending and as a way to improve our email security we will be implementing something called Sender Policy Framework email authentication (SPF). It’s a way to digitally sign augsburg.edu emails from trusted sources. This makes phishing campaigns inherently untrusted and will help reduce their effectiveness.
We will implement SPF on July 7, 2026.
That means, if you’re using an external system that sends mail for you using your augsburg.edu address as the “From” it may be flagged as suspicious. Depending on the system you use, IT can authenticate the system if it is a legitimate system.
We have been in contact with the departments who use major systems we’re aware of. But we may not know about all of the ones in use. Contact your LFC to get the ball rolling on verifying your external system.
For departments where we have set up a special sending address, like admissions.augsburg.edu or academicsuccess.augsburg.edu, will be unaffected.
We don’t anticipate problems but we’ll be monitoring for issues. Please contact your LFC if your department uses a cloud service that sends email and you notice delivery issues after we implement SPF.
