Viking Connections

Alumni supporting students and each other

Viking Connections is Augustana College’s Career Alumni Connector Network to bring together accomplished alumni and students. 

Alumni Connectors are available to share advice on careers, industries, employment trends, and organizations within their areas of expertise.

These mentoring relationships support and guide students — as well as young alumni  — as they navigate their careers or consider graduate school.

The program is open to students and alumni from all class years and majors.  

How students can make a Connection

Learn about the Alumni Connectors and their fields in the list below. (If there is no Connector in your field, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations.)

Get in touch with the Connector through the preferred contact information on their bio page, or Linkedin.
