Dr. Donald Sneen, professor emeritus of religion, passed away on Friday, Sept. 5, in Sioux Falls. Sneen served Augustana in the religion department for 33 years from 1962-1995 and authored four books during his career, including the history of Augustana College titled, 'Through Trials and Triumphs: A History of Augustana College.' A memorial service will take place at First Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13.

U.S. News ranked Augustana No. 3 among the "Best Regional Colleges in the Midwest" and gave the College high marks on its analysis of schools of "Best Value" colleges and universities.

Through a new collaboration with the City of Sioux Falls and Sioux Area Metro (SAM), Augustana students, faculty and staff now have a new, cost-free and environmentally friendly way to travel around Sioux Falls.
