Decision Week activities for students and families

May 1 is National Decision Day, the deadline for students to choose their college.
And so during Decision Week at Augustana College, we're offering special visits and events to answer questions and inform students who are still deciding.
Plus, we're celebrating students who already have chosen Augustana!
Here's what's coming up:
Decision Week daily visits:
→ Daily April 25-May 2 (except Sunday, May 1)
High school seniors and transfer students and their guests are invited to choose a day to come to campus, take a look and get comfortable.
Each day's events run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and include:
Taste of Augustana: Students and their guests can have lunch on us in the Gerber Center Dining Hall.
Residence hall tour: Take a look inside Westerlin, our largest residence hall.
Ring the gong: Make your decision official and celebrate with an Augie tradition when you ring the gong in the Office of Admissions.
Put U in Augie: Get a fun photo of yourself on our beautiful campus.
Share your news: Get an Augie Bound yard sign, table-top signs for graduation, and Augie Bound stickers.
