A window inside life at Augustana College
I performed my first turtle dissection yesterday. It was one of the coolest, yet grossest things I have done so far. The turtle we dissected was found on the beach prior to my arrival and was frozen until the start of the intern training. Using this turtle we learned how and where to tag the [...]

Well I am officially back from Thanksgiving break and trying to get back into the swing of school. I honestly really don’t like winter term because it has all these breaks. You go to school for a week and a few days only to go on Thanksgiving break. You go back to school for three [...]

Summer Connection was a whirlwind of new faces, tons of information and a lot of fun. I met so many people and there is no way I can remember all of their faces or names. Every experience helped me validate that I had indeed made the right decision by choosing Augustana. I am not going [...]

Most of my friends just recently decided on where they wanted to go to school this fall. These are the kids that waited until the last possible second to send in a decision. Personally, I never had to worry about that. Even though I was asked many times “What do you want to study?” to [...]
