Incoming Mail
Campus mail usually arrives before 9:00 AM; U.S. mail usually arrives
between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm.
Faculty, Staff and graduate students have mail boxes
on the second floor of Hodson Hall. Please check yours daily
for mail and messages. Students on assistantships should inform
advisors and secretaries of plans to be absent from campus so
that problems can be handled promptly, rather than sit unattended
in a mailbox. Faculty members have 'Lab' mailboxes for mail arriving
for undergraduate or temporary workers. Please leave a forwarding
address with Diana Ritchmond when leaving the department.
Due to the increasing frequency of identity theft, we strongly
discourage people from using the department as their home mailing
address. Some of the mailboxes are not in a secure location,
so everyone has access to them. In addition, the department needs
to know each employee's current address/phone number in case
we need to contact anyone in an emergency. Employees are able
to suppress their home address and phone number, and Students
can completely suppress their directory information (i.e. it
won't be published on-line or in the University's directory).
Addresses can be updated in Onestop (http://www.onestop.umn.edu/)
so we encourage everyone to keep their address current.
Our Mailing Address
The department's full mailing address is:
Department of Entomology
University of Minnesota
219 Hodson Hall
1980 Folwell Ave
St Paul, MN 55108
If correspondents need a shorter address, please make sure they
keep the street address, otherwise mail may be returned to the
sender or delayed several days as all University mail without
a street address is sent to the central campus mail address and
sorted there. An acceptable abbreviated address is:
U of MN Entomology
1980 Folwell Ave, Room 219
St Paul, MN 55108
Forwarding Personal Mail to the Department
While it is possible to have your mail forwarded to the Department's
address using the Postal Service's Change of Address form, the
Post Office will not accept that form to forward mail from the
Department's address. That means that you must contact each correspondant
individually to have your address changed. The student center
does rent post office boxes that can accept packages, otherwise
we recommend renting a post office box at the Como or Roseville
Post Office.
Outgoing Mail
Outgoing departmentally related US mail that needs postage
should go into the tray on the counter in Room 219 that is marked
US mail needing postage. Please note that 'US mail' means sent
via the US Postal Service, and includes international and domestic
letters.
Outgoing mail that has already been stamped or doesn't need postage
can either go in the tray below the 'US Mail needing postage' or
into the bin on the mail cart in the copy room.
Outgoing campus mail goes into the tub on the floor at the end
of the counter in Room 219. |
