Rich Jensen '74 and Beth Goodrich: Endowed scholarship honors parents

Rich Jensen '74 and his wife, Beth Goodrich, are longtime supporters of Augustana's capital campaigns.

About 20 years ago, they began funding an endowed scholarship aimed toward supporting first-generation students from underrepresented populations — the Lorraine (Byttner) and Earl Jensen Scholarship, in memory of Jensen’s parents.

Jon Jaworowski '23: Thanking a mentor

Choir was the activity Jon Jaworowski '23 loved most during his time at Augustana. He appreciated that he and his ensemble peers were there for the same reason: to make beautiful music. And he was inspired by Dr. Jon Hurty’s ability to bring out the joy and love for music in others. That's why he decided to make a lasting impact by committing to the Hurty Challenge.
