Faculty & Staff

There are many opportunities for Augustana College faculty and staff to work with the Career Development Office. We want to support your efforts to help further students’ career success.  As you teach, advise, or supervise students we hope you consider Career Development for assistance to you and your students. Our partnership with you can occur inside or outside of the classroom.

A great way to earn credit for community service is by volunteering!
