Business Card and Letterhead Changes

As you may have heard, Augsburg College is enhancing our brand identity with the addition of "We Are Called | Auggies." Don't throw away your existing business cards or letterhead, but when you are running low, the new items are ready to order. Along with the change, we are adding and eliminating some styles:

• Gone is the contemporary or style 2 letterhead and business card that I describe as a "paint swoosh."
• The traditional business card remains largely the same, except we have made room for longer job titles.
• We have added a business card with "We Are Called | Auggies" on the back.
• Athletics business cards and letterhead remain unchanged.
• CGE business cards remain unchanged.
• Envelopes are not affected by these changes, other than the discontinuation of the contemporary/style 2 "paint swoosh" when they run out.

We have switched to a new method of printing the business cards and should experience quicker turn around, and prices on some quantities of business cards will be slightly increased. Phone number labels are enhanced from a single letter to a word. There are several choices in a drop down menu, so you can select the word that best describes each phone number you are listing. You will be pleased to note that the order site has been enhanced to include an order history feature. When you go to order more business cards in the future, your previous order will show up. If there are no changes, you can simply re-order without having to enter all the data again.

Also, to reduce the number of websites you have to visit to order items through Central Services, you will now find name badges as a product in the left-hand column on the business cards and letterhead order site. They are the identical name badges that you are used to.

Please order online as you always have, log in to Inside Augsburg> A to Z directory> Central Services> Online ordering> order letterhead, business cards, envelopes and name badges> order business cards, letterhead, and name badges. Note the login and password in red – it is NOT your Augsburg network login.

Feel free to direct questions about the new styles or ordering to me. Click on my name above to email or call ext. 1297.

TODAY - Say Farewell, Good Luck to Barb Hutson

You are invited to share treats and conversation and congratulate Barbara Hutson on her upcoming professional transition to Manager, Advancement Services, at William Mitchell College of Law. Her last day at Augsburg is today, August 22.

Please join the Division of Institutional Advancement in thanking Barb for her many years of service to Augsburg College:

TODAY - Wednesday, August 22, 2012
12:30-2 p.m.
Oren Gateway Center 300 conference room

Barb's work on behalf of the college's donors, particularly, those whose families have endowed scholarships, has helped to ensure that generous benefactors have a "joyful" giving experience and understand the deep impact of their donations on our students, the college, and ultimately in the communities in which our graduates serve and lead. Her eye for detail and commitment to honoring donor intent has been deeply valued by staff and donors alike. We will miss our friend and colleague who has served the IA Division and the College well over these last 12 years.
