Change to Classroom Trash and Recycling Procedure

Starting fall semester, all trash and recycling receptacles will be removed from classrooms and some meeting rooms throughout campus. Larger containers will be located in strategic hallway or central locations to make the disposal of refuse as easy as possible. Centralizing trash and recycling containers will make recycling and waste disposal more efficient and cost effective here at Augsburg College. Please place your trash and recycling in the appropriate containers at the trash/recycling station nearest to your classroom or meeting room on the way out of the building.

The initiative is being implemented by Custodial Services and Facilities Management in the hopes that it will increase consciousness of the recycling program and prevent commingling of trash and recyclable materials. This practice has been successful at other colleges like University of Minnesota in Bemidji and also at Macalester College.

Please take care to place items in the correct receptacle (for information on what can be recycled, visit http://www.augsburg.edu/green/rrr.html). Thank you for your cooperation and contribution to Augsburg's efforts to promote green practices.

Underwear: Not Just for Superheroes

Approximately 650 youth are homeless every night in Minnesota--10,000-20,000 a year! Some of the most basic needs that we may overlook can mean so much to a youth who goes without. Underwear and bras are among those basic necessities.
Augsburg College can make a difference. The Women's Resource Center is trying to fill up the Auntie's Closet rack with undergarments to benefit an event in October called Youth Connect. Youth Connect works to connect youth with resources that can empower them through their every day struggles. Any new underwear, new boxers, new briefs, or gently used bras could go to someone in need.
If you are unsure where to buy undies, there are several shopping opportunities right on the Light rail: one stop away on Lake Street, or at the Mall of America, and of course, any of your favorite shopping stores. People come in all shapes and sizes, so consider donating garments that you would wear yourself. A donation box will be located at the Welcome Desk in Christensen Center for the month of September.

For more information on how you can get involved, email Veronica at bergv@augsburg.edu

Look for Augsburg's own Superheroes on campus during September!
