Updated Lead Time for the Copy Center
submitted by longj@augsburg.edu
With the 2022-23 school year, Augsburg has decided to have Central Services switch to a three-person staff:
Billy Callen – Copy Center
Jeni Long – Mail Room/Site Lead
Cody Hua – Shipping/Receiving
With the change in staffing levels we need to change the print project lead time to 24-hours. Please be sure to call the Copy Center (612-330-1054) before submitting anything needed sooner. The smoothest process to having your print job completed in time is to submit it using the Augsburg Copy Request system, https://sites.augsburg.edu/centralservices/copy-center-costs/. It is not just about the time it takes to print the order. We are not always at the desk to see the order come into the email. We need to be able to be away from the desk to cut, laminate and fix printers among other things.
Printer support calls/paper request may now take up to 3 hours for Central Services to have someone free to come and look at it. We need to have one person covering Copy Center/Shipping/Receiving and cannot send all three of us out at the same time. Please call us when your put in your second to last ream of paper to avoid being completely out of paper. If you do not have a backup printer option please ask IT how to add the printer driver to your computer so if the main printer you use is waiting for service you have another option to send your documents to. The Copy Center is also an option at the link above.

Welcome Janet Morales to the STEM Programs Team
submitted by dupont@augsburg.edu
Please join us in welcoming Janet Morales as the STEM Programs Grants Coordinator. She will divide her time in this part-time position between the NSF PRISM Scholarship Grant and the NSF PROSPECT grant which was awarded in April of 2022. The NSF PRISM grant supports STEM scholarship cohorts at Augsburg along with three community colleges. The NSF PROSPECT grant is a NSF scholarship research hub which will explore how equitable partnerships between two-year colleges and four-year institutions can empower low-income STEM transfer students. Researchers at Clemson University, East Carolina University, Southeast Community College, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Augsburg University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of Texas at Arlington, and YNOTI Solutions along with 14 two-year college partners are united by their goal to support domestic, low-income undergraduates as they navigate the transfer process.
Janet brings a strong record of working to increase access to higher education. She worked at Augsburg for over a decade in both admissions and managing the Traveler’s EDGE Scholarship program and has spent the last three years working for the Minnesota Department of Corrections working to increase access to higher education for incarcerated individuals. We are very fortunate to have her join the STEM Programs team!
Janet will be on campus in the McNair/URGO/STEM Suite, Hagfors 101 on most Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 1:30 PM. She can be reached at moralesj@augsburg.edu.

These interactive and engaging courses can be accessed from a computer, tablet or smartphone. Employees are required to complete information security training every year and other courses on even-numbered years.
Training can be accessed through https://augsburg-mn.safecolleges.com
Faculty and Staff can also access the training by logging into Inside Augsburg and choosing Administrative Tasks > Training.

You will receive an email invitation with your required training. Going forward our goal is to assign training to new employees within 90 days of their start date. Staff should coordinate with their supervisor to identify times to complete the training during regular work hours. Hourly staff may not schedule overtime to accommodate required training.
Email Senders
Vector Solutions may send training emails from any of the following domains: vectorsolutions.com, safeschools.com, safecolleges.com, safepersonnel.com, or scenariolearning.com.

HR: Online Trainings Through Vector Solutions
submitted by vachta@augsburg.edu
Faculty, staff and student employees:
Augsburg Human Resources is pleased to announce that it has migrated required employee training to the Vector Solutions training platform (Vector Solutions recently acquired EVERFI’s higher education business).
The current trainings focus on the areas of Information security, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and discrimination & sexual harassment prevention.
Training in these areas helps strengthen Augsburg as a workplace, helps protect the rights of students, faculty and staff, and responds to requirements from the Department of Education (under Title IV) and our insurance providers. These interactive and engaging courses can be accessed from a computer, tablet or smartphone. Employees are required to complete information security training every year and other courses on even-numbered years.
Training can be accessed through https://augsburg-mn.safecolleges.com
Faculty and Staff can also access the training by logging into Inside Augsburg and choosing Administrative Tasks > Training.
Recent Hires and Employees with Outstanding Training:
You will receive an email invitation with your required training. Going forward our goal is to assign training to new employees within 90 days of their start date. Staff should coordinate with their supervisor to identify times to complete the training during regular work hours. Hourly staff may not schedule overtime to accommodate required training.
Email Senders
Vector Solutions may send training emails from any of the following domains: vectorsolutions.com, safeschools.com, safecolleges.com, safepersonnel.com, or scenariolearning.com. If you have questions or concerns regarding an email claiming to be on behalf of Augsburg HR please reach out to hr@augsburg.edu
Already Completed Training?

Auggie Pride Recipient for September: Olee Amata and Tyler LeClear Vachta
submitted by assal@augsburg.edu
Congratulations to our Auggie Pride Award winners for the month of September, Olee Amata, Financial Analyst FP&A, and Tyler LeClear Vachta, HR Data and Reporting Analyst.
Regarding Olee, “In the last month or so, Olee has provided detailed information and support for some programs in the Professional Studies division. Her thoughtfulness and attention to our requests is deeply appreciated.”
In regards to Tyler, “Tyler has been so responsive to CGEE’s unique HR and Technology needs. He understands our business, and when he doesn’t he asks great questions to help solve the problem. He approaches his work from an acceptance/adaptation mindset — he doesn’t expect everyone (or department) to do things the same way. He finds approaches that follow University systems and policies, while also adapting to others’ unique set of needs.”
The Augsburg staff senate is happy to recognize their amazing work. Congratulations Olee and Tyler!!
