Dave Markward '71: Continuing to support DEI initiatives
Dave Markward is connected to Augustana not only through his education, but also his philanthropy. In 2020, he established an endowed fund to provide support for the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts of the college with earnings to be used at the discretion of the vice president for DEI to support that office's programs and initiatives.
Proceeds from Markward’s book, “From Dubuque to Selma and Beyond: My Journey to Understand Racism in America” will be donated to the endowed fund he created years ago, to support Augustana’s DEI office initiatives and all students.
