Achieving a degree from Augustana, opened up so many doors for me. With a degree, you can choose what lane you want to drive in, rather than have someone put you in the lane they think you should be in.

In being part of this Foundation, it gives me pride in trying to help someone who may have the potential but not the wherewithal to achieve a higher education degree.
