Earth Month 2023 Reflection Survey

Don’t Lose Your Mail

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 (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.

Radical Self Care in Uncertain Times with Dr. Joi Lewis, May 9

submitted by phalp1@augsburg.edu

Title: Find Calm in Chaos: Radical Self-Care in Uncertain Times

Date: Tues., May 9th

Time: 1:30-3:00

Location: virtual

For a variety of reasons, employees across the globe are feeling deep levels of burnout and languishing that, for many, has led to “quiet quitting” or literal quitting. We know that these challenges are often experienced even more acutely by BIPOC and non-majority employees, who exist within systems of oppression and who are often called on to do the work of dismantling those systems in more emotionally laborious ways. Given the increasing complexity of our work, as well as the emotional toll of the last handful of years, many Augsburg employees have expressed desire for opportunity for connection, engagement, and time to prioritize professional and personal care. This session, provided with the support of President Pribbenow and the Health and Well-Being Task Force, offers space for employees to take time out of the demand for productivity to intentionally focus on the health and well-being of ourselves as individuals within the Augsburg community.

From Dr. Lewis:

This session is a gift of time and space to take a deep breath together in community. We explore practices of Radical Self-Care and being “awake” that help create space for wellness, and thereby interrupt the effects of toxic stress and trauma, especially related to the world pandemic and racial injustice. By the end, participants connect with themselves and others more deeply and practice healthy expressions of grief, pain, and joy. Strengthening our foundations around radical self-care can help us all show up for ourselves, our loved ones and our community.

Hello, my name is Amanda Todd. I am an undergraduate student in the Communication Studies, Film and New Media Department at Augsburg University. I am doing an Honors research project for my New Media major.

You are invited to participate in a research study about political targeting targeting on Twitter during the 2016 election cycle . This project is unfunded. You were selected as a possible subject because you might have a Twitter account. If you agree to be in this study, I will ask you to click on the link below and complete a quick survey about if you saw certain conspiracy theories or pieces of fake news in 2016 with 14 questions that should take approximately 10 minutes.

Your participation will be anonymous and you will not be contacted again in the future. You will not be paid for being in this study. This survey involves minimal risk to you. The benefits, however, may impact society by helping increase knowledge about future political targeting on social media. You do not have to be in this study if you do not want to be. You do not have to answer any question that you do not want to answer for any reason. We will be happy to answer any questions you have about this study. If you have further questions about this project or if you have a research-related problem you may contact me, Amanda Todd at todda@augsburg.edu or my advisor, Jenny Hanson, at 612-327-0014 or hansonjl@augsburg.edu.

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.

Deidre Middleton Academic Advisors; Please Participate in This Survey About Supporting Seniors

submitted by simmonst@augsburg.edu

My name is Tori Simmons, and I am an Urban Studies Senior. My research project attempts to understand how support services provided by Augsburg University benefit seniors as they prepare for their lives after graduation. My research question seeks an answer to the overarching question about the definition of success, from the perspective of students and the staff that are supporting them. This research justifies the entry level positions graduates should be able to attain based on the skills that employers, from my research, are saying that graduates do not have.

Participants in this survey consist of seniors graduating in May 2023, academic advising staff, and Strommen Center staff members. There’s a gap between graduate employability and career preparedness. This research will help pinpoint where that gap lies, in an attempt to better prepare Augsburg seniors for employment upon graduation. Previous research studies have evaluated student success from the perspective of students and their relationships with their advisors. Studies have also sought employers to know what they are looking for when hiring for entry level positions at their organization. This research will apply the skills that employers are looking for and evaluate if Augsburg students are employable.

Participants will be asked to read a document, consent to their participation in the study, and then answer questions about themselves and their experiences at Augsburg.

Participants will not receive direct benefits, but they will receive indirect benefits, such as, improving student success and bettering student support services at Augsburg. The potential risks are that the study may challenge participants to think deeply about their experiences and it may awaken some passionate feelings.

If you are interested in participating in the survey then click on the link in the description box below, or email my professor James A Vela-McConnel, Ph.D. at (velamcco@augsburg.edu) with any questions.
