About CORE
Augustana College’s CORE:  Career, Opportunities, Research, and Exploration is committed to providing students with the resources necessary to make informed decisions and achieve career success.

Team members in CORE are available to support student experiences that will help them to be successful during and after college for Augustana students starting on day one.
