Urgent – Help Our Neighbors – the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

URGENT! Help our neighbors, the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute!

A historic environmental justice opportunity is unfolding in Minneapolis. The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute is preparing to buy the Roof Depot building and construct a cooperatively-run community hub centered around an indoor urban farm and affordable housing.

But EPNI is far from the finish line and in a critical phase of crowdfunding. Though we are pursuing grants and other long-term funding, we have immediate costs this fall that can’t wait. If you can help EPNI raise $50k by this Friday, August 25th, we’ll receive a crucial $10k matching donation, further increasing the impact of your donation.

We’re at just under $30K of our $50k goal, and we have five days left to get there!

To learn more about the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, go to their website: https://www.epnifarm.org/

Follow the link below to contribute funds–if you’ve got a spare $5 or $500 bucks hanging around!–everything helps!

Web Editors Back-to-School Fall Clean Up

submitted by singhj@augsburg.edu

The beginning of the school year is a great time to look through stale content and delete it from your Augsburg website.
What is stale content?
Stale content is items that aren’t up to date. This can include pages, blog posts, old drafts, websites, documents, photos and more.
Why should I delete it?
Website speed and performance, risk, and site functionality.
What if I need that information at a later time?
Create a google doc to archive information or a screenshot. A lot of times people move something to draft and it lives there for a digital eternity because people are afraid to “delete” it.

If you have any questions feel free to join our web editor meetings or connect with us today
