Update on Campus Network Outage

submitted by matthias@augsburg.edu

Thank you all for your patience this weekend as we worked through an unexpected issue with our campus network infrastructure. The outage and subsequent instability in the network followed a planned maintenance that intersected with a campus power outage due to Thursday afternoon’s weather, causing hardware failure. Our systems team has been working on this issue since Thursday evening and throughout the weekend to troubleshoot this complex issue and implement a plan to restore connectivity, including installation of temporary equipment. We’ll be posting a more detailed summary message on the IT Website blog in the coming days. Additional information, and the ability to subscribe to alerts, can be found on our Status Hub page linked below.

We apologize for the disruption to your teaching and learning that this outage may have caused.

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.

As the semester wraps up we have an important ask: please fill out Campus Kitchen’s 2025 Impact Survey! The results from this survey help us to prioritize the ingredients and supplies you want to see in the Campus Cupboard and set shopping hours that work for the most people, as well as letting us know about cooking workshops you’d like to see, SNAP/WIC application support needs and nutrition and food needs on campus in general. This information also helps us to apply for funding to keep the cupboard stocked!

2 randomly selected students who fill out the survey will receive $20 cash each! Please complete the survey by May 16, and share it with 3 friends who have also shopped at the Campus Cupboard or come to our events!

The survey only takes a few minutes, and filling it out helps us meet your needs better each year. Fill it out today!

Phones Moving to Zoom This Summer

submitted by matthias@augsburg.edu

The Augsburg University IT Team is excited to announce a campus-wide transition from our existing landline telephone system to Zoom Phone over the next few months. Zoom Phone is a cloud-based phone service that can be used to make, receive, and manage calls from multiple devices, using your existing campus phone number. This change will provide you some additional features like text messaging and the ability to answer your phone from off-campus, along with saving Augsburg money. To learn more about this project and what it means for you, visit https://go.augsburg.edu/zoomphone

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.
