Good afternoon, everyone. We know that things have been surreal and strange lately, and thus wanted to give you a small sense of the familiar: one last Augustana Weekly while heading into this new normal. Have a look at this week's issue for general updates and where to continue to find the most vital and timely information (hint, it's your emails-both from UAlberta and the Augustana Dean's Office) as well as a round-up of resources on mental health and library services (that you're already well aware of if you're reading down to the very bottom of those emails!). We've also included the Dining Hall menu and a few student job/internship opportunities.

We hope your classes are going well (and are in awe of everyone-students, staff, and faculty alike-in readjusting and pressing on). To reiterate our Dean's fine words: "I am poised for us to succeed in this fight against the COVID-19 and am certain that we shall prevail."

Stay well!
