2013 Covenant Award Nominees Announced
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Forty-nine students have been recognized as nominees for the 2013 Augustana Covenant Awards.
Verdier 2012
March 18-22
The Covenant Awards, the honors recognizing students who exemplify the College's five core values: Christian, Liberal Arts, Excellence, Community and Service, will be presented during Verdier 2013 events, a week-long celebration of Augustana’s guiding values and ethics, set for March 18-22.
From Norwegian to English, "verdier" translates to "values; the moral principles and beliefs or accepted standards of a person or community."
"At Augustana, we often say that our students enter to learn and leave to serve. Here, they come to understand that in order to create an even better tomorrow, they must do all they can to support, nurture and help develop ideas and communities today. From serving at the local food pantry to forging new pathways in science, our students are the ones who illustrate this idea and push the words far beyond just a great talking point. Today, and during Verdier week, we congratulate and celebrate our students who are living out the core values of this institution each and every day," said Dean of Students Dr. Jim Bies.
