Symposium Day
Once a semester, Augustana devotes a full day to an alternative approach for learning and opens the process to the entire campus community.
This multidisciplinary approach to discuss a theme exemplifies the value of liberal learning.
Symposium Days include invited speakers, alumni, advising sessions and opportunities to practice the liberal arts and be involved with the community.
The fall Symposium Day has a rotating theme connected to Augie Reads. This year's theme is Transformations.
