"I remember being very excited to graduate from Augustana, but also being nervous and scared for what the future would hold. I would like to connect with current students or recent graduates to assure them that they will find their path upon graduation and show them that they have a network of support outside of campus. I can offer students guidance on career choices, professional development, and networking."
