Augustana President Steve Bahls has visited 19 cities in the past year to update alumni on AUGUSTANA NOW: A Campaign for Success in the World, for the World.
Last week, the campaign tour stopped at home in Carver Center on campus, where head basketball Coach Grey Giovanine and former basketball standout Chandlor Collins gave a pep talk to alumni and friends of the college.
AUGUSTANA NOW focuses on four student-centered goals: affordability; preparation; innovation; diversity, equity and inclusion.
At just over $100,000,000 so far, the campaign is well on its way to the goal of $125,000,000 by Dec. 31, 2020.
The campaign has eight stops to go in Springfield, Ill., St. Louis, Boston, Washington, D.C., New York City, Houston, Dallas and Austin, Texas.
