Alumni Association Board of Directors

The Augustana College Alumni Association Board of Directors is now accepting applications for the Alumni Board beginning in the 2027 school year. Alumni Board members leverage their passion, intellect and connections in service of Augustana College. Board members receive exclusive access to Augustana events and networking opportunities.

Applications received by April 1 are reviewed each year at the board’s spring meeting, and chosen applicants will receive an invitation to join by June 15. Your application is only active for this single review cycle and will not automatically roll over to the next year. If you are not selected this time but want to be considered in the future, you will need to submit a new application for the next cycle. If you want to review your past answers to help you reapply, simply email alumni@augustana.edu to request access to your old application.

If you have any questions, please contact alumni@augustana.edu.
