Augie Sweethearts 2019
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we asked alumni to share their stories of how they met their spouse or partner while they were students at Augustana.
Judges have selected Jeffrey Condit '80 and Natalie Nelson '81 Condit of Moline as the winners of our 2019 Augie Sweetheart Contest. You'll see that their romance was fueled by fried chicken and thoughtfulness!
We received 41 tales of the heart submitted by alumni. To make it easier to find your classmates, we grouped the stories by decades.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
