Seniors reflect on their time at Augustana

Every spring faculty are asked to nominate a senior who has taken advantage of the opportunities Augustana offers in academics, research, study away, athletics, the arts and more.

The seniors answer a series of questions to describe their transformative Augustana experience and show what can happen in four years.

Simply choose the grad year and area of study you're interested in to read their reflections!
