Make Sure Your Mail Will Follow You

submitted by longj@augsburg.edu

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.

Where Will Your Mail Go This Summer?

submitted by longj@augsburg.edu

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

Reminder: Stay Vigilant Against Phishing Attempts

submitted by vachta@augsburg.edu

Recently, multiple Augsburg accounts were compromised and used to send phishing messages to members of our community. Thank you to the many employees who quickly reported these messages — your vigilance helps protect all of us.

As a reminder:

-Never submit your password or MFA (multi-factor authentication) credentials through a Google Form or any unofficial site. Augsburg will never ask for your login information this way.

-Do not approve MFA requests unless you are actively trying to log into an Augsburg system. An unexpected MFA prompt could be a sign someone else is attempting to access your account.

-If you receive a suspicious message, contact the sender through a separate, trusted method (such as phone) before responding or clicking any links.

-Be cautious and verify before providing any personal information.

Please remember that HR and IT do not send campus-wide announcements for every phishing attempt. Your vigilance and prompt reporting are critical in helping us respond effectively.

Thank you again for your partnership in keeping Augsburg’s systems secure.

Eco-Week Series in Chapel on April 21-25

submitted by dames@augsburg.edu

Join us in Hoversten Chapel during Earth Week for an opportunity to process, take seriously, and think hopefully about Climate Change. While the science of what we have to do to stave off and survive climate change is largely settled, it’s cultivating the will to do so that’s the problem. That makes Climate Change a spiritual problem as much as it is a scientific one.

On Monday 4/21 at 10:40, Tara and Tiffany will lead a Mindful Monday chapel that encourages a reconnection with the earth and nature.

On Tuesday 4/22 at 11:30, Prof. Leon van Eck will give a vocation chapel talk centered around his sense and experience of calling to care for the world (and not giving up in the face of climate change).

On Wednesday 4/23 at 10:40 Profs. Nancy Fischer and Lindsay Starck will lead a futurist exercise – having participants imagine years into the future what problems they might face as a result of climate change and how they may be of help.

On Thursday 4/24 at 11:00 Prof. Joe Underhill will talk about Augsburg’s River Semester as an example in alternative lifestyle living, as well as “wandering in the wilderness” during times of political and ecological crisis.

And on Friday 4/25 at 10:40 Prof. Cody Sanders from Luther Seminary will give a lecture/sermon on hope that refuses to be domesticated by our current systems and ways of life.
