I am a Nursing major from Storm Lake, Iowa. While at Augie I've been involved in Youth Outreach,ANSA, UTIC (now Flite!), and NSO. In the last 4 yars (where did they go!?), God has really challenged me in ways I never would have expected or imagined.  Join me in praising God for what He's doing in my life and on our campus!

David Stadem
David Stadem is a 3rd-year senior from a turkey farm near Willmar, MN. He has this crazy awesome family that he loves to death - his parents, his six siblings, and a small army of cousins. He tends to enjoy his studies as a Chemistry major with a Music minor, but also occupies his time with a fantastic group of friends, CRU, and the Augie Choir. After graduation, he plans to do whatever God has in mind, whether it be his current plan of employment in the field of analytical quality control in Sioux Falls, or something else like opera or professional snorkling.

I love variety in my life and writing about mahy topics - which works well as I'm majoring in English with a writing emphasis and minoring in anthopology, journalism and philosophy.  I'm from the small town of Truman, MN, and while I've been at augie, I've been involved as a techie and stage carpenter at theatre, Mirror guist writer, theatre mentor, and tutor at the Writing Center.  In my free time, I enjoy archery, aerobics, and traveling.  After graduation, I hope to get a job in the writing field, whether for a magazine, or newspaper or in a marketing or public relations department.  i hope you'll join me as I celebrate my experiences at Augie and God's place in our lives.
