| Statewide tornado drill |
| March 26-30 is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa. On Wednesday, March 28, between 10 and 11 a.m., the National Weather Service will conduct a tornado drill. The purpose of this drill is to ensure Iowans can adequately receive a tornado warning and can practice any actions that would be taken in the event of a real tornado. Know the safe shelter areas in your buildings. Generally, go to the lowest level and stay away from windows and doors. Most tornadoes will move from the west, so have the most protection in that direction. If there is no place below ground level, go to an interior hallway on the lowest level of the building. During an actual tornado warning, Wartburg College will send out a WartburgAlert. If the warning period is extended, an interim message will be sent out and another one once the danger has passed. |

| Survey opportunity |
| The Multicultural and Diversity Studies Committee has been discussing ways to encourage cultural competence in all classes. In order to do this, we need to be able to see how students experience classroom and coursework dynamics. We know that professors work hard, but we would also like to encourage professors to ensure that all students feel welcomed, valued, and included in classes. The committee is therefore reaching out to you, the students, to ask that you share specific class experiences in which you have not felt fully welcomed, valued, or included. The information you submit will be shared with the committee, and some accounts, with all identifying information removed, will be shared at a meeting of all faculty. Click here to fill out the survey. |
