Tuesday, Oct. 6, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m
Wednesday, Oct. 7, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.

In order to have as much distance as possible, the clinics will be set up in the Neumann Auditorium Lobby.

The shots are covered in full for employees and spouses on the Wartburg health insurance plan. Those who are not covered by Wartburg insurance can pay out-of-pocket or check with their insurance carrier. Please RSVP to hr@wartburg.edu to indicate which day you plan to attend. Please bring your HealthPartners health insurance ID card so the claim can be filed. If these times do not work with your schedule, you may visit an in-network pharmacy or provider with HealthPartners to administer your flu shot at no cost. Depending on your provider, you may get charged an office visit.

Reviving Wartburg Weird series

Change to classroom cleaning process

Starting Wednesday, Oct. 7, there will be a change in the supplies and process for disinfecting classrooms between classes. In each classroom, you will find a closed bucket (see photo) that holds 250 disposable wipes pre-moistened with disinfectant. The process will be as follows:

1. Open flap at the top of the bucket
2. Remove one pre-moistened disposable cleaning cloth
3. Close top of the bucket
4. Wipe off desired surface
5. Put used cleaning cloth in provided open-top bucket.

When bucket is empty, the cleaning staff will replace with another container. Please do not discard buckets, as they will be cleaned and reused.

PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS

Changes to Sir Victor appearance policy

Is your organization hosting a movie night? An event on the campus mall? Something else? Do you want the greatest mascot in Wartburg's history to attend?

 

Due to fewer events this year, the Sir Victor Program is changing our policy for paid events. To be more engaged with the campus this year, we are changing our policy for student organizations/Wartburg departments:

Any student organization or Wartburg department may schedule Sir Victor for an unpaid event.
Unpaid appearances by Sir Victor will be 30 minutes or less.
Sir Victor reserves the right to not attend due to availability/scheduling issues.
Appearance requests that last longer than 30 minutes will be charged for the appropriate rate.

Any questions about these policy changes can be directed to alex.buchheim@wartburg.edu. For more information about Sir Victor, or to request an appearance, click here.
