Connect to the Globe
"And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
-- T.S. Elliot
Augustana's innovative global offerings were each born of a faculty member's personal connection to various features of the host country. Professors have conducted research in their respective disciplines, made connections with key community members, and examined the various ecological, economic, political, historical and cultural issues unique to the area.
