Changes to Student Wireless Network on Aug. 18
On Monday, Aug. 18, the Aug-Student wireless network will begin requiring Windows computers to have recognized, up-to-date anti-virus software installed. (This will not affect Apple computers, and will not affect the Aug-Guest wireless network).
If your computer has valid anti-virus software already installed, you will not notice any changes -- just log in through Clean Access as you have been doing.
If your computer does not have valid anti-virus software installed, the Clean Access Agent will prompt you to install or update your software before allowing you to access the Internet. A list of recognized anti-virus products (including some free options) is available on the Student Technology web site at http://www.augsburg.edu/techdesk/internet/Clean_Access_Recogni.html
If you have questions about this change or would like help making sure your computer meets the requirements, please contact the TechDesk! We're here to assist students with their technology needs. We're available in person (Lindell Library 104), on the phone (612-330-1400), by e-mail at techdesk@augsburg.edu , and on the web at http://www.augsburg.edu/techdesk for your convenience.

Ben Katz '08 to Screen Film on Aug. 22
On Friday, Aug. 22 at the Uptown Theatre, film alumnus Ben Katz '08 will be screening "Bits," an independent film about an awkward inventor who spends his days and nights obsessing over a mysterious project. Katz produced the film, and it stars Augsburg alumni Linnea Mohn '04, Philip Mershon '06, and Nancy Waldoch '06.
"Bits" is the first film by Minneapolis-based FRD Productions. To create the film, an entirely local cast and crew of over 50 people relied on intuition, collaboration, and improvisation rather than traditional narrative methods.
The Uptown Theater is located at the corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lagoon in Uptown Minneapolis. Doors to the sneak preview screening open at 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 22. Admittance is free of charge. For more information, go to www.bitsmovie.com, or contact Ben Katz at (651) 249-4154.
