Club volleyball represents community and hard work

In early March, the Augustana’s men’s club volleyball team competed in a tournament in Springfield, Mo. Many volleyball organizations traveled far and wide to prove their skills against fierce competition.

My Love Letter to Augustana College

Growing up in the Quad Cities, I used to drive past Augustana College a lot. Back then, I never thought I’d get the chance to actually go to school there. I had a bunch of doubts about myself, my family’s money situation, and doubted I would fit in.

Congratulations, you’re ready to make it official! You are confident and ready to choose Augustana — now what?

Why I chose Augustana College

From the first day I visited, I knew Augustana was the school for me. I visited Augustana  in November 2022 and as soon as I arrived, I felt welcomed. During my college decision-making process, what really stood out to me was how great my campus tour was.

Why I love being part of a cultural community

The Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) is one of several Asian organizations we have on campus at Augustana. Our organization allows for the celebration and awareness of Vietnamese culture through the leadership of current students, such as myself and others.

I think food is the best way to connect people, as food possesses the ability to transcend language barriers, becoming the universal language of love.

The 'liberal arts' and the benefits of a liberal arts college

I love the question "What can a liberal arts college offer my student?”

It’s a great question because parents love the answer: liberal arts colleges provide the learning experiences that produce well-rounded, deeply skilled citizens ready for success in their chosen career while making meaning of life.
