2011 Projects Completed by Civitas Graduates
The Civitas 395 individual project represents the culmination of a student’s work in the Civitas program and at Augustana. It indicates the direction a student wants to follow, professionally and personally, upon departure from the College, just as it indicates the responsibility they assume in answering their calling to life.
Following is a list of 2011 projects completed by graduates of the Civitas 395 program.
