About the Event

This session will feature how Augustana faculty and students are engaged in exciting new initiatives to renew and reimagine the college’s historic ties to Sweden and the Nordic region. Central to many of these efforts has been a recently concluded six-year grant from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, which allowed many faculty to travel to Scandinavia, make professional contacts and plan study abroad courses.

A new memorandum of understanding with Uppsala University also resulted from these efforts and opens the door to future collaborations across all disciplines. This panel discussion will showcase some of what our faculty and students have been working on with Uppsala University and other partner institutions in Sweden.
