Hey! My name is Tyrrell Jeffries, and I am an Augie freshman. I’m from Aurora, IL and a former student of West Aurora High School. I love to sing, and that is why I’m part of the Wennerberg Men’s Chorus, and the Augustana Ascension Singers. I will be pursing a major in sociology, and hopefully a minor and music education. I’m looking forward to continuing meeting new people and becoming involved in some of the great programs and clubs Augustana has to offer.
In Memory of Corrine Jeffries-Conway 4/20/11

Its Been A Year…!?
One year ago on November 25, you left this world, leaving your family and all your friends including myself with an empty void in our life that no one can fill. The laughter and bright spirit that you spread to every person you came in contact with, only a small few could ever hope to [...]

Its like being in a race and getting a bad start, right from the beginning you’re using so much energy [...]

In Loving Memory
Life at times can seem so predictable and constant. Without realizing it you get so comfortable and set in a routine, you come to expect certain things; because you have forgotten how fast life can throw you an unexpected curve ball. From materiel things to people, we come to expect that when we get ready [...]
