"Augustana did a lot for me. I didn't understand it at the time. I was not a competitive student and didn't get that great of grades, but I learned my path because of Augustana. I also was exposed to so many different people and different cultures there. I think that by going to Augustana I became a better person. I don't think I would have turned out like I did if I went to a major state school. I made some mistakes while in college, but I learned from them. I
would like to tell students about some of the incredible things that I have seen in the career."
