Campus update for May 5, 2021
May 5, 2021
Celebrate! Get ready to roll on our day of learning
Congratulations to the students and faculty who are presenting during the annual Celebration of Learning tomorrow. There are no classes, so use the schedule to plan what sessions you would like to see.
Poster presentations are available now and all day tomorrow. Leave questions and comments in the "Reply" section below the videos so presenters can respond. They'll also be available for answers in "real time" between 2:30-4 p.m. tomorrow.
Panels will be presented in concurrent sessions from 9:30-10:45 a.m., 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m., and 1-2:15 p.m. Most will include a Q&A after the presentation.
The program is divided into "quick reference" pages and longer pages where you can read about the projects in detail. Browse the program and you will be impressed by the scholarship and creativity that goes into Celebration of Learning.
Don't quit now — mask up
Please continue to wear masks on campus. While CDC guidance has changed, Augustana still requires that people outside on campus wear a mask through the end of this academic year.
