Lupus Foundation of Minnesota Research Fellowship
2010 Lupus Foundation of Minnesota Student Summer Research Fellowship Applications Now Being Accepted
The question, "What did you do over summer vacation?" typically doesn't produce a memorable response.
Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM) offers an option that will provide you with an answer that is anything but forgettable! How about saying: "I spent the summer conducting clinical research into the cause and cure for lupus!"
The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota's Student Summer Fellowship Program exists to foster an interest in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) research among undergraduates by providing an opportunity for promising young scientists to participate in basic or clinical research with an established investigator.
Students receive stipends and budget expenses to cover costs for summer fellowships spent in research labs.
Since its inception, the Summer Fellowship program has supported the work of nearly 100 young investigators, cultivating a new generation of lupus researchers and bringing greater awareness to the cause.
Applications are now being accepted for Summer 2010 fellowships in the area of lupus research. Download the application now (PDF). Or look for it under the "research" tab on the LFM website at www.lupusmn.org
Selected students are connected with an established faculty researcher at the University of Minnesota for final project approval.
DEADLINE: 5 p.m. on May 3, 2010
QUESTIONS: Lupus Foundation of Minnesota, 952-746-5151, info@lupusmn.org
Date Correction: Dist. Contributions Awards
Please note this year's recipients of Distinguished Contributions in Teaching and Learning and Staff Recognition awards will be recognized at Community Time on March 30th (not March 31st) at 3:45pm in the East Commons.
I hope you will join us at this time.

Online Timecards Need Approvals - Effective March 21
Important changes for all students, staff and faculty currently using Web Time Entry for timesheets
We have been on the new online Web Time Entry system for 6 pay periods and have solved most of the problems students and biweekly employees have experienced using the system.
Thus far, employees have been paid for their hours whether or not their timecards were approved. Now that employees have been using the system, it is time to begin requiring managers and employees to approve hours before they can be paid. Back in the "old days" of paper timesheets, we did not pay for hours on timesheets that were not signed off by employees and supervisors. It is time to reinforce that policy again.
Effective this current pay period of 03/21/10 – 4/3/10 (for payday Friday, 4/9/10), any time sheet not approved by the employee AND the manager will not be paid until approved. Any time sheets approved after the 12noon deadline on Tuesday will be added to the next payroll 2 weeks later. Always ensure you are approving the correct pay period. If you are approving the timesheet on Monday, you will need to make sure your are approving the "previous pay period."
Timecards with no hours also need to be approved by both employee and manager. If the employee is no longer working in the position, the manager needs to send an e-mail to hr@augsburg.edu to let us know.
To check if the timecard has been approved, click on the Sign-offs & Approvals tab in the lower left section of the timecard. This lists all sign-offs and approvals and when they approved them. If there is no Sign-offs & Approvals tab, there have been no approvals.
Managers can check for approval as above, or by clicking on the Timekeeping tab, then Pay Period Close. Once the list of employees appears, check the appropriate columns for check marks. If no check mark, it hasn't been done.
If you are still having trouble with using the Web Time Entry system, please contact HR at ext 1058.
'On-Hold' Accounts Payable Checks
Authorization Invoices/check requests processed with a "On-Hold" request originally to be picked up on Friday, April 2nd will be available on Thursday, April 1st anytime after 1:00 pm due to the Good Friday holiday.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at X1031 or daughera@augsburg.edu ~ Thank You!
Eat at Davanni's and Help LSS Refugee Services
On Tuesday, April 6 eat at Davanni's between 6 and 9 pm and help Lutheran Social Service's Refugee Services. They will receive 20% of the sales during that time period with a coupon.
