Mail preview service coming to campus
|
The Mail Center is piloting a new mail service that provides a preview of physical mail slated for delivery on campus. Users may request that mail be recycled in the Mail Center or forwarded to another user, with regular delivery as the default action. Please watch for an email from no-reply@receiveddigital.com today for login information. This email may go to the junk folder and will need to be moved to your inbox if that happens.
As this is a pilot program, feedback is welcome from those who opt to make use of the service. Campus delivery will continue as usual if no action is taken. Please send questions and feedback regarding the service to kory.figura@wartburg.edu. Questions? Check out this digital mail guide.

Takeout containers available from Dining Services
|
Takeout containers will be available during Fall Term for any student with a food plan. If you would like a takeout container, stop in the Dining Services Office on the first floor of the Saemann Student Center to pick up a carabiner. The carabiner can be exchanged at the checker station in Mensa for a takeout container.
When you return the empty container, you will be given the choice of a clean container or a carabiner to bring back the next time you would like a takeout container. The container is free of charge unless you received one last year and did not return it. The cost of a replacement container is $5, which can be paid by cash, check, or your student account.

Friendship Families needed for international students

Friendship Families are an integral part of an international student’s Wartburg College experience, as well as their American experience.

We need host families to support our international students. If you're interested in learning more about the Friendship Families program and potentially signing up to be a host, please email elisa.holmes@wartbug.edu for more information. |
