The Value(s) of Augustana as a Lutheran Liberal Arts College

Augustana College will celebrate the inauguration of its ninth president, Andrea Talentino, on Oct. 14-15.

As part of the inauguration celebration, academic sessions on a variety of topics will be presented.

In this session, presenters will discuss why and how Augustana has redefined what it means to be Lutheran over the past several decades, and how its institutional vocation and core values (or “faith commitments”) continue to lead it  to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8).

Presenters will be Dr. Jason Mahn, director, Presidential Center for Faith and Learning; and Dr. Monica M. Smith, vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion.

All academic sessions will be offered in Wallenberg Hall, Denkmann Memorial Building; see a complete description of topics and presenters.
