Alumni Council

The Alumni Council is the official voice of the Augustana Alumni Association, representing more than 30,000 alumni from across the nation and around the world.

Council members provide regular advice and support to the professional staff of the Augustana Alumni Association and other Augustana University departments as requested. The Council strives to encourage alumni participation in the life of Augustana through event attendance, communication with class agents, and financial support. Members provide leadership for alumni programs on campus and in their respective hometown areas.

New members for the Alumni Council are needed each year. Learn more about serving on the Alumni Council by contacting a current member or the Alumni Association. Applications, due each year by March 15, are reviewed by the Council at the spring meeting.
