Students present results from Rock Island water line survey
The city of Rock Island and Augustana College partnered over the summer to engage Rock Island residents in an inventory of water service lines in the city. As part of a regional effort to remove lead in drinking water, the state of Illinois asked communities to survey their water pipes to gauge how much funding would be needed to replace them.
"Feasts and Festivals" book release
A joint publication of East Hall Press and the Augustana Historical Society, "Feasts and Festivals: The Story of Winter Traditions at Augustana College" will be released to the public just in time for the holiday season!
Meet some of the folks involved in the book, pick up a copy of the book and enjoy a reception.
"Feasts and Festivals" immerses the reader into a small college's cultural traditions, some of which are rooted in its Swedish American past, like Sankta Lucia and the Christmas Smörgåsbord, and others of which came to campus as the student body grew more diverse, like Kwanzaa, Día De La Virgen and the Lunar New Year. Through short histories, archival photos and poems, this collection explores how students, faculty and staff worked to create community during the Midwest’s coldest months.
Many of the entries were composed by students in an oral history course at Augustana, while the book design was completed by students in a book publishing course. The book also features winter poetry by legendary English professor Dr. Dorothy Parkander.
