Mail Center update

Mail forwarding will begin Tuesday, May 28. If you wish to keep your student mailbox open or change your forwarding address for over the summer, please email mailroom@wartburg.edu. Mail will be forwarded if you do not sign up to keep your box open. Graduates, remember to go into the online shopping sites you frequent and remove the Wartburg address from your shipping addresses. Not all packages will forward free-of-charge and you don’t want to send something to Wartburg by mistake after you graduate!
 

The Higher Learning Commission will send a visit team to campus May 20-21 to evaluate the college’s change requests related to the leadership post-baccalaureate program, the online ESL endorsement and allowing us to offer programs by distance delivery. Unlike the comprehensive visit we had in 2017, this visit team will focus just on the change requests we submitted. Members of the campus community involved with the visit will meet with the team May 20.

 

Recyclemania competition results

This year, in the nationwide Recyclemania Competition, Wartburg placed 129th out of 159 schools with a diversion rate of 21.249%. Wartburg placed slightly higher in the Food Organics category, finishing 109th out of 148 competing schools. This is a 10 percentage point increase from last year (11.41% diversion rate). While we have improved significantly, this still means that only 21 percent of waste on campus is recycled or composted. We can do better!
