The annual Health Fair is from 11:30am to 4:00pm. There are two shifts, the first from about 9:30am to 1:00pm and the second from 12:30 to 5:00pm. Tasks will involve setting up tables and chairs in the morning and breaking them down at the close of the event. You might also help direct vendors and community participants to parking, distribute backpacks to guests, and other tasks as needed. Pillsbury United Communities is the parent organization for the Brian Coyle Community Center located at 420 15th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55454, there are both Blue and Green Line train stops in the neighborhood, and multiple buses that run on Cedar and Riverside Avenues. Parking should be easy to find in the morning and a little more challenging in the afternoon. If you’re concerned about transportation we can help!

This is a great way to spend some time with the awesome communities in Cedar-Riverside–and to use your community service hours! If you have any questions or concerns please email Jenean Gilmer at gilmerje@gmail.com. Thanks big time, this is sure to be a fun event!
Please fill out this form to let us know you’re interested: https://forms.gle/oCvZ3oAqDAL3QqrL6

Thank you to all of our partners at Augsburg University, in our neighborhood, and broader sustainability family for helping to support these events and for bringing your necessary sustainability perspective to our collective work: ESC, EAC, AISA, Sabo Center, Environmental Studies, Augsburg Local, Lindell Library, Pan-Afrikan Student Services, ALAS, CASUS, ISAIAH, Bonner Fellows, Laune Bread, Milkweed Books, Strive Bookstore, MPCA, Sisterhood Boutique, CWC, Rebecca’s Bakery, Dining Services, Adelphi University, Department of Social Work, Biology Department, MFA Program, Marketing/Communications, Augsburg Events team, Spanish & Cross Cultural Studies, Interfaith, Campus Ministry, UMN EJ Organizers, RLife, UMACS, and Campus Kitchen.

Student Financial Services and the Registrar’s Office will be open over summer break! Please reach out or visit us with any questions or concerns

Hours: 10:00 – 4:00 Monday – Friday (closed on campus holidays)

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 (May 15, 2023) we will be closing all student campus boxes. Then in August before the fall semester starts we will reassign them (possible new numbers) to all students living on campus. Commuter students can then request to have a campus box if they would like one.

If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please either fill out this survey (https://forms.gle/jpUkovCEcqYBhsuBA) or send us an email (mailship@augsburg.edu) with any relevant information. There is also an option to be reassigned your current campus box number for the next semester if you will be returning in the fall.

We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail and packages. 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. 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 post office or the University, just the Mailroom.

Stop by Lindell Library for a bag of snacks in the Learning Commons (look on the shelf by the yearbooks) while you’re finishing up finals. While you’re here, take a look at the Karst and Water Pollution exhibit, take a quick quiz, and pick up a puffy stickers prize.

Best wishes for everyone wrapping up another academic year, and congratulations to all of our graduating students!

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 (May 15, 2023) we will be closing all student campus boxes. Then in August before the fall semester starts we will reassign them (possible new numbers) to all students living on campus. Commuter students can then request to have a campus box if they would like one.

If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please either fill out this survey (https://forms.gle/jpUkovCEcqYBhsuBA) or send us an email (mailship@augsburg.edu) with any relevant information. There is also an option to be reassigned your current campus box number for the next semester if you will be returning in the fall.

We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail and packages. 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. 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 post office or the University, just the Mailroom.
