Campus update: Making a splash
Nov. 10, 2022
Never mind the pre-season coaches' poll that placed Augustana's men's water polo team at the bottom of their conference.
Heading into a home game this Saturday, the Vikings are 5-0 on top of the east division of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and 11-5 overall. (Game starts at 1 p.m.)
Just in its second year, the Vikings men’s water polo program has five first-year players, 12 sophomores and one junior. → More
See the musical "Cabaret" Nov. 17-20 at the Brunner Theatre Center.
Set in 1929-1930 Berlin, the musical focuses on the hedonistic nightlife at the Kit Kat Club and revolves around an American writer's relationship with a cabaret performer.
Several roles were double cast and will be performed by different actors on different nights to give more students a chance to shine on stage.
Eight Augustana College alumni and a staff member are among the "Forty Under 40" recognized for their positive impact by the Quad Cities Regional Business Journal.
Congratulations to all, including Daisy Moran, assistant director, Office of Student Inclusion and Diversity!
The Viking men's IM flag football champion team went 1-2 in the NIRSA Flag Football Regional last weekend at Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
"They took it upon themselves to make the 9-plus hour and compete," said Don Umland, director of intramural sports and recreation.
"I am very proud of how they represented Augustana and Campus Recreation."
