Feeling Sick? Need A Doctor?

CCHP wants to remind all students about a couple resources for medical clinics if you are feeling sick and want to see a doctor. First, Smiley's Clinic is a neighborhood family practice clinic that has a contract with Augsburg College for non-insured students. If you do not have insurance you can be seen at Smiley's for a $5 co-pay. SERVICES AND COVERAGE ARE VERY LIMITED!! Please be sure you know what is covered before you schedule an appointment. A link with info on Smiley's Clinic can be found on the CCHP website www.augsburg.edu/cchp/smileys.html Smiley's Clinic also accepts other insurance as well. For appointments at Smiley's call 612-333-0770.

An additional option is the new Walk-In Clinic on Cedar Avenue (next to Midwest Mountaineering). They are similar to a Minute Clinic and can treat simple things like ear infections, sore throats, pink eye, etc. They accept most insurance or cash. A link to their services and costs can be found at www.walkin-clinic.com or by calling 612-294-1333.

If you have any questions about Smiley's Clinic, the Walk-In Clinic or other nearby medical clinics, please call the CCHP office at 612-330-1707 and we can help.

Be well Auggies and stay healthy!

The Value of Higher Education -- MN AAUP

The Value of Higher Education
MN AAUP 2011 Fall Forum
Nov. 2, 6:00 pm,
Hamline University, Giddens Learning Center 100E

Your department is shrinking. Your program is being downsized. You are continually asked to do more with less, and your students are made to pay more for less. You aim to teach but you are told to produce learning outcomes instead. You study fundamental questions and you are asked what profit that will yield. Under the cover of financial crisis, education from K-12 to the doctoral level is being restructured in market terms.

The MN AAUP is hosting a panel discussion about the value and valuing of higher education. The panel brings together speakers representing private and public institutions, faculty and administration, and the legislature as well.

Please join us and participate in the discussion! No cost; light refreshments provided. Contact MN AAUP Past President Karen Vogel (kvogel@gw.hamline.edu) to RSVP by October 28th. Space is limited -- reserve your seat today.

Clark Named MIAC Athlete of Week

http://athletics.augsburg.edu/news/2011/10/18/wsoc101811.aspx?path=wsoc

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College women's soccer forward Bri Clark (JR, Mound, Minn./Mound-Westonka HS) was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.

Clark scored two goals in two key conference victories during the past week, helping to keep the Auggies in the race for a spot in the four-team MIAC postseason playoffs.

In Augsburg's 2-1 win over St. Olaf last Tuesday, Clark scored Augsburg's first goal, a header off a corner kick just 2:28 into the contest. The Oles had entered the game leading the conference standings and suffered their first conference loss of the season against the Auggies.

Against Gustavus on Saturday, Clark scored the lone goal of the game in a 1-0 Augsburg win, shooting the ball to the upper right corner of the goal from 15 yards out in the 24th minute.

Clark now has team-highs of nine goals and 21 points, tied for third-most among MIAC players (overall statistics) in goals and fourth-most in points. Her 42 shots this season are fifth-most among MIAC players.

Augsburg, now 7-6-1 overall and 4-2-1 in MIAC play, hosts St. Catherine on Wednesday (10/19) at 7:30 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field. The Auggies currently stand in sixth place in the MIAC standings with 13 league points (three points for a win, one point for a tie), just three points out of fourth place with four MIAC games remaining in the regular season.
