Favorite Augustana memory, professor or class.
       I loved everything about Augustana- the students & teachers.  The activities, a winning football team, but especially the loving, caring attitude and the integrity of the place putting faith in action.

Additional information you would like to share with your classmates
       I came to Augustana planning to stay as short a time as I could, save enough money to go to USD where my best friend went.  I simply fell in love with Augie and I was hooked by students working on campus with me the summer before my freshman year.  I have always been a Christian and loved Bible Study and being able to share faith, doubts & questions with faculty & friends.  The many varied activities and groups were great.  As a non-Lutheran, I didn't learn that dancing was a sin until enrollment at Augie or that one had folding tables, not card tables, and did I mention the winning football teams?
