Dear Augsburg Community,
As we begin a new academic year, the Department of Public Safety is making some changes to our protocols. We are integrating updated technology, and managing the increased demands that naturally accompany the start of the fall semester. We are transitioning from fobs to ID Cards for freshman students and new staff. These changes strengthen our ability to serve the campus community. With transitioning from fobs to ID Cards, all individuals will be expected to show proof they are current students or staff at Augsburg University. After confirming that the student or staff are currently affiliated with the university, they will verbally request the keys they require.
A couple of the changes that will impact students and staff that request keys are as follows:
—Students and staff will be expected to leave a current (non expired) government issued picture ID when checking out keys.
—If the keys are not returned within a 24-hour window, the student or staff members’ Augsburg I.D. access card will be deactivated and only reactivated upon returning the keys to the Department of Public Safety Dispatch in the Urness/Mortensen Lobby.
—If you foresee needing a set of keys for longer than the 24-hour window, an official key request must be made in advance through the proper channels to ensure we have an adequate number of key sets available for all students, faculty, and staff.
If you have questions or concerns please reach out the the Department of Public Safety.

First-Gen Week is the first week of November and is an extended celebration of First-Gen Day which takes place on November 8th annually.
First-Gen Day commemorates the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965 by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson. This act created federal financial aid programs to fund students’ educations and made key investments in colleges and universities. Many of these programs, particularly the Federal TRIO programs (such as TRIO/SSS and TRIO McNair), promote postsecondary access, retention, and completion for today’s limited-income, first-generation college students.
First-Gen Week is a time to celebrate first-generation college students, faculty, and staff, as well as their supporters. Consider ways you can celebrate the first-gen folks in your departments, classes, organizations, etc., and stay tuned for information about programming across campus for the first week of November!

Greetings Augsburg Community,
There are changes coming this fall that impact AugSem, Auggie Days, and the Convocation Schedule.
Changes to First Year First Day
In the past, AugSem meetings were a component of First Year First Day. This year, AugSem faculty will not meet with their AugSem class on First Year First Day. Instead, all faculty and staff are encouraged to dress in their Auggie gear or academic regalia to form the traditional clapping tunnel to welcome new students as they process to the opening convocation (Edor Nelson Field – Procession; arrive at 10:15 to line up | Si Melby Gym – Convocation). Following the convocation, first year students will enjoy lunch and will engage with the remainder of the Auggie Days program.
First-year Convocation: Oct. 8, noon – 1 pm, Hoversten Chapel
In addition to opening convocation, this year we will offer a first-year convocation on Wednesday, Oct. 8. First-year convocation is required for all students enrolled in AUG101. This year’s speaker is Xavier Tavera Castro, Assistant Professor of Art at Carleton College.

First-year students will participate in one-on-one mentor meetings scheduled throughout the afternoon with their AugSem instructors, a required component of AUG101. Second-year students are invited to celebrate declaring their majors. Each School will host an open house to welcome new majors, and second-year students are strongly encouraged to attend the events. These open houses will also offer a good opportunity for first-year students to build rapport with faculty and students within each School. In addition, various campus offices and student organizations will offer opportunities for connection throughout the afternoon.

Greetings Augsburg Community,
There are changes coming this fall that impact AugSem, Auggie Days, and the Convocation Schedule.
Changes to First Year First Day
In the past, AugSem meetings were a component of First Year First Day. This year, AugSem faculty will not meet with their AugSem class on First Year First Day. Instead, all faculty and staff are encouraged to dress in their Auggie gear or academic regalia to form the traditional clapping tunnel to welcome new students as they process to the opening convocation (Edor Nelson Field – Procession; arrive at 10:15 to line up | Si Melby Gym – Convocation). Following the convocation, first year students will enjoy lunch and will engage with the remainder of the Auggie Days program.
First-year Convocation: Oct. 8, noon – 1 pm, Hoversten Chapel
In addition to opening convocation, this year we will offer a first-year convocation on Wednesday, Oct. 8. First-year convocation is required for all students enrolled in AUG101. This year’s speaker is Xavier Tavera Castro, Assistant Professor of Art at Carleton College.

Campus Ministry welcomes Megan Moroff-Jordan as our new pastoral intern for the 2025-26 academic year. As a pastor-in-training, Megan will work with our pastors and our student ministry leaders. Megan (she/her) grew up in Duluth, MN, and attended the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. She spent 12 years serving as an ELCA Youth Director in the Twin Cities metro before opening Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative in Northeast Minneapolis. While immersed in Minnesota’s brewing industry, Megan felt a persistent call to ordained ministry and knew she could no longer ignore it. Now in her fourth year as a Master of Divinity student at Luther Seminary, Megan is thrilled to be serving as Augsburg’s Pastoral Intern. She recently relocated from Yankton, SD, back to Minneapolis with her husband, Pastor Michael Jordan, and their beloved rescue pup, Rosie. A proud Minnesotan at heart, she’s happiest outdoors and is a lifelong camp enthusiast. Megan spent seven summers working at Voyageurs Lutheran Ministry and recently completed two terms on its Board of Directors — a community that continues to shape her faith and joy for ministry.
Megan would love to meet you! Please stop by her office (Foss 110) and introduce yourself — her door is open and you’re always welcome.

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.

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.

This weekend a phishing email targeted Augsburg purporting to contain important payroll and benefits information. The subject is “Augsburg University has issued an important notification regarding your payroll and your newly approved benefits for the month of August.”
This is a phishing email and is fake. The website linked in the email is an attempt to steal your password.
With AI, phishing emails will keep getting better so we must remain skeptical, take a breath, and confirm the source through another channel (like a new direct email to a known email address or calling the office/person).
Some key red flags in the email include
– A sense of urgency
– It is unexpected
– A From email address that is strange
– A link to a site which does not show you the link address (it’s hiding the link destination)
You can always email your LFC or the Tech Desk if you’re unsure about the validity of the email.

Parking permit sales will begin for all eligible Students, Staff and Faculty on Monday, August 11. Similar to previous years, all eligible users will be able to purchase a surface lot permit starting on Monday, August 11; with the exception of the underground garages.
If you are interested in purchasing an underground parking space, you will need to email parking@augsburg.edu on the following dates depending on your status:
Monday August 11 – Senior Students/Graduates (resident and commuter)
Tuesday August 12 – Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Wednesday August 13 – Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Thursday August 14 – First Year commuter students, and all Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students
Friday August 15 – Open to all eligible users (including Staff and Faculty)
Underground garage spaces will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, and **spaces will not be held if you email parking ahead of the scheduled sales date for your group** (example, if a Staff member emails parking@augsburg.edu on August 11 and before about wanting an underground space, that Staff member will be placed on a wait list and will only be considered for a space after all other users who emailed on the correct date are placed).
When purchasing a parking permit, please consider the following to avoid any tickets being issued throughout the semester/year:
Enter all known license plates that may be brought to campus under your 2025/26 parking permit
Double check that each license plate is entered correctly – if you notice a mistake after entering the license plates and are unable to change it yourself, email parking@augsburg.edu as soon as possible to get the correct license plate number entered. It is individual responsibility to make sure vehicle information is inputted correctly.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requesting Letter of Residency, please contact parking@augsburg.edu
