| Sustainability Office has free supplies |
| As you plan for next year or write up your syllabi, don’t forget about the Sustainability Office’s Reused store. There are hundreds of binders, a lot of folders, and a smattering of other school supplies. Encourage your students to save their money and pick these up for free. We also have many desk organizers and other office supplies, so please check before ordering new. Due to an overabundance of binders and folders, employees are welcome to stop in to check these items off their children’s school supply list. During the summer, the Sustainability Office is open most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Fall days will most likely be Tuesday through Thursday. When in doubt, just stroll on over and get some steps in! Contact Anne Duncan with questions. |

| HealthPartners – Colon cancer screening |
| HealthPartners is committed to ensuring members are getting their recommended preventive care. Colorectal cancer screening is not always easy or convenient, but it is critical to early detection of colorectal cancer. The FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test) Kit is a simple test, done at home and submitted to a lab for an assessment, that detects blood in the stool. This summer, HealthPartners will be sending FIT Kits to all members who are eligible and overdue for a colorectal screening and are not currently connected with a primary care provider. A letter will be sent to eligible members’ homes in July, with the FIT Kit and instructions arriving shortly thereafter. Members who do not return the kit will receive a reminder phone call and follow-up letter. There is no cost to the member to complete and submit the FIT Kit, and those who complete the test will receive a results letter in the mail with follow-up instructions. A team of HealthPartners nurses will be available by phone during business hours for any questions regarding the test or results. If you have other questions, please contact Amy Wilson, benefits administrator at ext. 8278 or amy.wilson@wartburg.edu. |

| Friendship Families needed for international students |
| The International Student Services office is seeking friendship families for approximately 35 new international students arriving at the end of August.

They simply meet with their student(s) throughout the year to share meals, holidays, or participate in a variety of cultural activities. For more information, contact Wendy at ext. 8745 or wendy.mohlis@wartburg.edu. You may also click here to sign up online. |
