\"VaccineAugsburg University has signed up to be a part of the COVID-19 College Vaccination Challenge, which has been organized by the White House and U.S. Department of Education. The challenge is part of President Biden\u2019s effort to make sure that 70% or more of Americans have at least one vaccine dose by July 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schools that join this challenge make three commitments:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Engage every student, faculty, and staff member: Make sure every member of the campus community knows they are eligible for a vaccine and has resources to find one.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Organize the college community: Lead the way by identifying champions for vaccine efforts across campus and implementing a plan to get as many members of the campus community vaccinated as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Deliver vaccine access to all. Meet the campus community where it is: bring vaccines on-site, and make it easy for students, staff, and faculty to get vaccinated at sites nearby this summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By participating in this challenge, Augsburg is doing its part to protect our students, faculty, and staff; their families; and our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Augsburg is offering<\/span> walk-in vaccine clinics on campus<\/span><\/a> in Oren Gateway Center this summer starting June 14 during new student orientation. In addition, the university is right across the street from the <\/span>People\u2019s Center Cedar Riverside Clinic<\/span><\/a>, which also offers vaccines. You can find more information about COVID-19 vaccines at our <\/span>COVID-19 Planning website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
