苏福尔斯

Two-thousand-eighteen marked Augustana University's 100th anniversary in 苏福尔斯. AU is proud of the mark it has made on the city over the last 100 years. As the university writes its next chapter, the possibilities are endless.

Milestone 事件:

• In 1889, the Lutheran Normal School was built on four acres of land given by lawyer and land developer Richard F. Pettigrew, one of 苏福尔斯’ founding fathers. Nearly 30 years later, the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America merged the Lutheran Normal School with Augustana College in Canton, to be known as Augustana College and Normal School. 苏福尔斯 city and business leaders lobbied hard for Augustana to relocate, 1918年, 苏福尔斯 became Augustana’s permanent home.
• In the last century, both the University and the city have prospered from our more humble beginnings. 苏福尔斯 grew from a town of 25,202 in 1920 to a city of 178,500 in 2017 — with a four-county metro area of 261,400居民. Augustana has grown, 也, from 242 enrolled students in 1920 to the 2017-18 academic year, when we welcomed the largest incoming class since 1978 and total enrollment reached 2,080 — the largest since 1990.
• Our campus has adapted with the changes in 苏福尔斯, offering new and expanded undergraduate and graduate degree programs and athletics programs, 也 as connecting businesses with students for internships and career opportunities. As we have invested in our infrastructure, we are grateful for the businesses and individuals who have invested in us and our students, such as the experiential learning opportunities and internships our students take part in, all because we have the benefit of being located in South Dakota’s largest city.
