Collaborative Paint by Number
Our group is doing a large-scale paint by numbers depicting Old Main in the fall using the Augustana colors. Students and other participants will be able to paint 2-3 squares on a large grid, with guidance on which colors go where. Participants may also bring blue or yellow items to be added to the composition. We will be distributing a short publication about events in Old Main’s history.
The activity will take place Oct. 24, Oct. 27, Oct. 28 and Oct 29, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. all days.

At Augustana, these triplets found it all — and one shared goal
Antione, Trevion and Luniah Gilford wanted a lot from their college choice: strong athletic programs, generous financial aid, a welcoming environment and the majors they each had in mind. After considering all options, the trio from Plano, Ill., decided to make Augustana College their new home.
Flu shot clinic
The Rock Island County Health Department will be offering flu shots for Augustana employees and students on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon in Centennial Hall. Please enter through the back door of the building and exit through the front. This is a walk-in clinic and no appointment is necessary.
Individuals must bring the following items to the clinic:
- A copy of your insurance card (front and back),
- Completed consent form. Blank consent forms will be available at the clinic as well.
This consent form document includes the consent form as well as a list of accepted insurance programs. It is recommended that you call the phone number on your insurance card to make sure the Rock Island County Health Department is in-network and that the flu vaccine is covered, especially if you have out-of-state insurance. For those enrolled on Augustana medical insurance through UMR this is considered an in-network provider and insurance will be accepted as coverage.
If you do not have insurance, or your insurance is not accepted, the cost is $66 for the shot payable by cash or check payable to Rock Island County Health Department.
Please note: COVID shots are NOT available at this clinic. Please call your provider for more information.
If you have any questions, please reach out to humanresources@augustana.edu.
