Escort Changes During Construction
Public Safety Escort Changes Effective During Riverside Avenue Construction:
Due to the construction on Riverside Avenue Public Safety will be making the following changes to escort locations and times of service. Public Safety will no longer give off campus escorts between the hours of 7 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Friday due to the rush hour traffic. Public safety will also no longer give escorts to Wells Fargo Bank.
It is important that Public Safety be available for on campus emergencies and services. When taken off campus for escorts during these times, Public Safety is unable to respond to campus in a timely manner. Thank you for understanding these changes and planning accordingly.
As always, Public Safety will give emergency escorts to the Fairview- University Hospital regardless of time of day.

Welcome Urban Scrubs Camp
Augsburg is pleased to host Urban Scrubs Camp this week (August 1 - 5). This residential camp provides an opportunity for high school age youth to learn about various careers and topics in health care. Camp activities and workshops are designed to encourage students to learn in hands-on ways by meeting and interacting with a variety of practitioners. Sessions include topics such as Anatomy and Physiology, Nursing, Microbiology and Lab Careers, Public Health, Emergency Medicine, Dentistry, and Getting Ready for College. Many thanks to the Augsburg faculty, staff, and students who are participating in Urban Scrubs Camp this year - Justin Nash, Brian Noy, Melissa Hensley, Katie Welle, Trent Whitcomb, Joan Kunz, Dale Pederson, Patrice Salmeri, Hamlimo Abdulkariam, Salma Ahmed, Jennifer Engle, and Sandy Tilton.
Augsburg is partnering with HealthForce Minnesota to put on the camp. We'd like to extend special thanks to Boston Scientific for providing major financial sponsorship for Urban Scrubs Camp. Of the 60 youth registered, 54 are receiving full scholarships in order to make their participation possible. If you see students walking around campus in maroon hospital scrubs, please take a moment to greet them and welcome them to Augsburg.

Screen Lock on College Computers
In order to comply with upcoming audit and other information security requirements, IT has been setting all college-provided computers (faculty and staff) to switch to a screen lock after 15 minutes of inactivity. To stop the screen lock you will need to enter your Augnet login information.
The reason for this change is to better protect your information: what is on your screen and information you have access to on your computer. Using a locking screen minimizes the risk of someone else using your computer to access your files. This only applies to college-provided computers for faculty and staff.
We would like to hear your questions or concerns about this change. Please contact Scott Krajewski, Director of IT Services at krajewsk@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1471.
