The Peace of Wild Things

submitted by guilbeau@augsburg.edu

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

TRIO/SSS Summer Bridge 2020

submitted by cheathak@augsburg.edu

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.

Thanks for your continued support and collaboration. We could not do this without you!

Summer Housing Update

submitted by blom@augsburg.edu

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.

Tracking COVID-19 Expenses – Subobject 6457

submitted by stepanek@augsburg.edu

Subobject # 6457:

People should use the 6457 sub-object number when coding invoices and p-card expenses that are the result of Augsburg’s response to the coronavirus. Augsburg will need this information as it monitors the appropriate use of federal stimulus funds and other governmental aid, assesses the impact for insurance purposes, and reports the financial impact to the Board, bond holders and credit agencies. So, being thorough is very important.

If anyone runs into issues (e.g., a cost center not set up for subobjects), they can email Administrative Accounting (administrative.accounting.grp@augsburg.edu).

Thank you.

Status Update on Augsburg Events

submitted by cashdar@augsburg.edu

Augsburg University is not scheduling or rescheduling any in-person events at this time, as there is much uncertainty about when in-person events will again be safe in light of COVID-19. Event planners are reaching out to event hosts through August 31, 2020, to cancel, postpone, or discuss virtual options. Events scheduled after September 1, 2020, are tentative, unless the event host has already canceled on their own. Summer camps and conferences fall into a different category and planners will be reaching out to each camp and conference host in the next week.

We are scheduling virtual events. Please fill out an event form and a planner will be assigned to you. The planner will walk you through the virtual options and help determine the best fit.

This situation is rapidly evolving, so all conditions will be monitored and are subject to change. Updates will be provided as necessary.

We look forward to helping you design your virtual event.

Student Government COVID-19 Resolution

submitted by adebanjm@augsburg.edu

Greetings Augsburg Community. I hope all is well with you at this time and you have had a lovely Palm Sunday. I also pray you have a reason to smile on this blessed Miracle Monday morning.

Below you will find an all-important document attached. This document has been composed by Augsburg Day Student Government, but is based off of the information/opinions gathered from a campus-wide petition, extensive communication with student leaders, and a pair of submitted polls from the Day Student Body. This document was then discussed among a panel of ADSG’s finest constituents and voted upon last Friday, April 3rd.

ADSG is an administration initially established to further the educational goals and general welfare of the Augsburg community. We operate in all areas on campus, including environmental action, university finances, and immigration efforts.
My role as The Student Advocate deems me as the elected official to address student concerns; the elected official to serve as liaison for all students in need of representation.

In the first resolution, we came forward to show our support for Augsburg University’s decisions in light of this pandemic. We also came forward to make requests such as: The continuation of housing and dining services; Guaranteed pay for student workers scheduled on the week of march 23rd; Prorated refunds from meal plans, parking passes and residential housing; and the request for a Guaranteed Commencement ceremony once MDH Policy permits.

This next resolution also presents a set of requests, but they pertain more to the individual struggles we students are facing during this stay-at-home order. They include: an alternative and alleviated grading system; guaranteed pay for student workers; and reimbursement for students who already purchased a cap and gown.

Please click the link below, take the time to read said document, and reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

With Love,
Miracle Adebanjo
