Two weeks after the spring semester ends (May 15th) we will be closing all student campus boxes. Before fall semester starts we will be reassigning them to all students living on campus, and commuter students can then request to have a campus box if they have a need of 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/LaGrUkgCRvbVxVsZ8) or send us an email with any relevant information. (There is also an option to be reassigned your current box for the next semester if you will be returning in the fall)

We only 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 only forward to US addresses. The forwarding period is 2 months from when the request is submitted after which any additional mail we receive will be returned to sender.

We ask that you contact the people/business sending you mail and correcting it to your permanent address. Also enrolling in online/electronic billing is both environmentally friendly and will save you time (and sometimes money).

Make sure you’re counted! Students–fill out the census unless you’re certain someone else has already counted you on their form.

Got to 2020census.gov and fill out the form online. If there’s a question you’d rather not answer, skip it, but fill out the rest of the form. Responses are confidential–no law enforcement agencies are allowed access to these census forms.

If you’re living off-campus but not with your parents, you should fill out your own form. Students who lived on campus this semester will be counted by Res Life, so you don’t need to fill out a form. If you’re not certain if you’ve been counted–fill out a form! The Census Bureau would rather have people double-counted than missed.

Political representation, billions in federal funding, and much more is at stake. Don’t let yourself be invisible–filling out the census is a way of making sure your presence counts!

ONE DAY IN MAY took place on May 15, 1968. During the turbulent aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Augsburg canceled classes to fully engage the school and community members on the issue of racism.

The extraordinary discourse surrounding ONE DAY IN MAY gave rise to subsequent advocacy work of marginalized students. These efforts have created a lasting impact that can be seen and felt on today’s Augsburg campus.

Good morning to all,

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

On Wednesday, April 23rd, 2020, Augsburg Day Student Government passed a resolution titled Augsburg University International Students Responding to ISSS Department Restructuring.

This resolution was made for International Students who had their advisor Angela Bonfiglio laid off. With her absence, students began to feel like they lost their primary support and mentorship. This resolution demands Augsburg University to provide free housing to international students throughout the summer, provide summer jobs to those who have student visas, request for reinstatement of Angela Bonfiglio, and that ISSS be deemed as an official party recognized under the MSS roster.

Any questions or comments about this resolution, please let me know. You can contact me through my email ortizrg@augsburg.edu

Blessing to you all. Have a great weekend!!

The Brian Coyle Center has seen a huge increase in the number of people visiting the food shelf in recent weeks and the demand for food is continuing to rise. Due to safety concerns, the Brian Coyle Center is no longer accepting food donations, which means they are receiving food for distribution by purchasing it from partner food banks.

Please help meet the increasing need for food in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood by making a financial contribution today. Each $1 donated enables the Brian Coyle Center to purchase $7 worth of food for distribution to neighborhood residents. To donate, go to https://pillsburyunited.org/covid19/.

The Brian Coyle Center has seen a huge increase in the number of people visiting the food shelf in recent weeks and the demand for food is continuing to rise.

Please help meet the increasing need for food in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood by making a financial contribution today. Each $1 donated enables the Brian Coyle Center to purchase $7 worth of food for distribution to neighborhood residents. To donate, go to https://pillsburyunited.org/covid19/.

COVID-19 is currently spreading in the homeless shelters and encampments with many confirmed cases. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to call the governor and mayor to immediately evacuate shelters and place individuals into hotels. In light of the St. Paul woman who was accidentally bulldozed while her camp was being evicted, we are also calling the state, city and park board to explicitly allow encampments by opening park grounds and facilities as well. We are organizing this through phone zap where we call and ask for this to be addressed in an organized effort.

You can sign up to make a phone call or more here https://calendly.com/housing-phonezap/phonezap-shift-signup?month=2020-04.

Hannah Dyson discovered a remarkable overlap in her theatre and history interests when interning at the MN Historical Society. Writing stories for MNopedia about fraudulent towns and journalistic assassinations, Hannah developed a passion for storytelling that connects past and present – and her Augsburg and historical society mentors have helped her focus her ambitions. Her storytelling explores justice and freedom of press both historically and in our own future.

For many people, being in nature can reduce stress and have a positive impact on mood and
mental health.

Knowing that it is spring and a time of regeneration…. it is difficult not to notice the green growth… birds… increased light, and other signs of life. Sometimes, just calling to mind a place in nature, where you previously experienced some joy and connection, can be enjoyable.

I would like to know what you are seeing today in nature or are remembering that gives you
some delight and inspiration. For now, I am sharing this poem with you –

“The Peace of Wild Things”
by Wendell Berry

Listen
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

BE WELL,

Nancy

Why is it so difficult to work with recruiters or understand how they think and what they want? You know you need to work through the recruiter to gain the interview and a chance to win the job but sometimes it seems impossible to know what they are thinking. Are they truly the ‘gate keepers’ for obtaining and job with their company and if so, how can you know what the ‘key’ is to opening the gate?

Come to this virtual work session sponsored by the Strommen Center. Today at 12:00 p.m. (Central Time), Career Coach Tom Colosimo will discuss what it takes to work successfully with recruiters.

Good news! Summer Bridge 2020 offers went out to 25 students on April 17. The class will be finalized with all Bridge participants registered for summer classes by May 8.

Because of COVID-19, Summer Bridge 2020 has moved to an online format. Students will not live in the residence halls nor meet on campus during Summer Bridge. We anticipate using both real-time and offline coursework for summer courses: COM 111 and LIB 130. Summer Bridge will also include Supplemental Instruction to support these courses, daily check ins with instructors, meetings with advisors, and TRIO/SSS students as peer mentors.

This redesign of Summer Bridge shifts RLN 100: Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning and its supplemental or paired study skills course to either fall 2020 or spring 2021. We hope to have more specific information about this schedule change in the next few weeks.

We hope this may help all of you with questions you get from incoming students who may have reached out to you about Summer Bridge. Please continue to direct them our way for follow up: triosss@augsburg.edu.

TRIO/SSS Summer Bridge 2020 is July 6 – August 6.

The Center for Wellness & Counseling has a webpage with many resources for coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, “Coping with the Coronavirus.” Today we are highlighting one excellent resource from this webpage, for students, staff, and faculty: Natural Mental Health’s 8 week Resilience Retreat online called “Calm in the Time of Coronavirus.” Renowned author and previous consultant to CWC, Henry Emmons, leads this highly useful retreat (and his calming presence will bring down your blood pressure!) Click on the link before for more information about the retreat. Live workshops occur every Wednesday at 7pm on their Facebook Page (Natural Mental Health) and the videos are available on the Facebook page after the event as well. Last week’s session was on sleep, and we highly recommend it!

We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to provide summer housing. Due to the State-wide regulations put in place and to account for the safety of our community, summer housing will not be available to the Augsburg community other than those students who fit into the categories below AND currently live on campus.

The residence halls only remain open this summer for our resident students who currently reside on campus and are unable to find alternative housing for the following reasons:
1. International students
2. Students who have insecure housing
3. Students whose home is not safe
4. Students with health reasons

We are directing all students who do not currently live on campus and those who live on campus currently but fall outside of these four categories to pursue off campus options at this time.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Residence Life at residencelife@augsburg.edu for further information.

The Minnesota Department of Health has released updated masking guidelines for Institutes of Higher Education. All staff, faculty and students MUST wear cloth face masks while in any common areas while on campus property. Resident students must wear them while out of their residence hall living spaces.

**Wearing cloth masks does not replace the need to adhere to frequent hand washing, avoiding touching the face, and practicing social distancing, which are our best tools to help prevent the spread of illness. More information from the CDC is linked below:
