URGO has a limited amount of funds this year to support students presenting their research at conferences.
URGO offers up to $850 in travel funding for Augsburg undergraduates who have been accepted to present research at a professional conference. These funds can mitigate the high costs of travel such as airfare and lodging, and can contribute to students’ professionalization.
The application is available at the URGO website (www.augsburg.edu/urgo) at the “conference travel” page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to work with their research mentor to submit a travel application as soon as possible after receiving acceptance to a conference. The URGO Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly to make decisions on applications.
If you have any questions about undergraduate conference travel opportunities, please contact Dixie Shafer at shafer@augsburg.edu or x1447

In light of the tragic police killing of Amir Locke last week, the Center for Wellness and Counseling wants to highlight some resources on our website. We know that our students and community members are deeply affected by the ongoing racial injustices in our city and the violence done to black and brown bodies. We also know that many in our community actively participate in social justice work, and that this important work can both replenish and at times, deplete our energy. In addition to counseling services, the CWC also has some healing resources for you to check out on our website: Healing from Racial Trauma, and Self Care for Activists. We stand with you in righteous rage — may we all use that energy to fuel hope and change.

Auggies, if you live on campus you were assigned a campus box. (You can search yourself in the Augsburg directory if you are unsure of the box number.) Please make sure to check your campus box on a regular basis. Currently there are a lot of tax documents being delivered. Even if you are not expecting mail you may want to check your box just to be safe.
Please also keep an eye on your email. There are a number of students who no longer have a campus box, but still have mail sent to their Augsburg address. In these cases, we send an email to your Augsburg.edu account with the subject line Will Call Mail. We will hold the first class mail for two weeks to give you time to come pick it up or contact mailship@augsburg.edu to see about other options. If we do not hear from you, your mail will be sent back to the original sender.
Thank You,

URGO has a limited amount of funds this year to support students presenting their research at conferences.
URGO offers up to $850 in travel funding for Augsburg undergraduates who have been accepted to present research at a professional conference. These funds can mitigate the high costs of travel such as airfare and lodging, and can contribute to students’ professionalization.
The application is available at the URGO website (www.augsburg.edu/urgo) at the “conference travel” page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to work with their research mentor to submit a travel application as soon as possible after receiving acceptance to a conference. The URGO Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly to make decisions on applications.
If you have any questions about undergraduate conference travel opportunities, please contact Dixie Shafer at shafer@augsburg.edu or x1447
