Aviation Open House this Friday |
|
We are excited to announce that LSC's Aviation Open House, this Friday, is just about at full capacity! Due to COVID restrictions and to ensure social-distancing and the safety of all involved, we are limiting the amount of tour guests for each time slot, just as we've done for previous open houses this year. We have over 75 prospective IceHawks signed up for tours between, 3-6 pm. Great work by our admissions and marketing team, along with Trevor and the team at the CAA, in organizing and promoting this event. Hopefully you've been seeing our digital ads, television commercials and we've been all over the radio, too. If you know anyone interested in touring the Center for Advanced Aviation please encourage them to RSVP very soon as we'll likely be completely full by mid-day Thursday but we can always schedule tours at other dates/times as well. |

Sign up for the COVID-19 Vaccine Connector |
|
The State of Minnesota has launched the COVID-19 Vaccine Connector, a new tool to help Minnesotans find when, where, and how to get their COVID-19 vaccine. All state employees, who are Minnesota residents, are encouraged to sign up on the Vaccine Connector. Signing up means you will be alerted when you are eligible for vaccination, connected to resources to schedule an appointment, and provided vaccination opportunities in your area.
When you sign up, the form asks what industry you work in. Higher Education is not explicitly listed as an industry in the drop-down menu. Like most state employees, we are encouraged to select "Other/None" and put "Higher Education" or "Government" in the description box. |
