Augustana University and Sioux Falls have connected the 2024-25 Augustana Student Association (ASA) president and vice president in ways they never could have imagined. Persuaded to run for top ASA leadership positions by their peers, Annie Johnston '25 and Prince Adhikari '26 both needed a running mate and found each other. They had all the makings of a great team. And now, with a semester under their belt as president and vice president, listening, connecting and having fun is what has guided them through the academic year thus far.

The infamous Nyberg’s Ace Gjallarhorn at Augustana University’s Midco Arena has been suspended on the northeast corner of the building since opening in 2024.

Take a photo with the Viking ship facade and tag @goaugie on Facebook, Instagram and X.
