JOHN T. VUCUREVICH SCHOLARSHIP
With each passing year, I feel more humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve Augustana. The gift I’ve been given to work alongside talented scholars and administrators united in a common mission to provide an education of enduring worth -- to help our students explore and discover important ideas today in order to create a better world tomorrow -- is something I never take for granted. Angie and I feel blessed,indeed,to call Augustana home. As you know,Augustana is a special place.It’s special because of the countless connections, large and small, that happen on campus and around the globe each and every day. Here, Earth’s academic, social and geographic bounds are crossed, allowing our community of scholars, students and alumni to pioneer new pathways in scientific and human understanding so that together, we may dissect and solve the significant and pressing challenges facing our world.

NELS AND LILLIAN WIKA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Many of you have told us that giving a scholarship gift is a way of “paying it forward” -- a way to return the thoughtfulness and generosity you received through annual and endowed scholarships during your time as students. If history repeats itself,as they say it does,someday the students who are recipients of your gifts today will themselves hear the call to“pay it forward”and pledge to support the scholarship program at Augustana tomorrow. For those of us who serve Augustana, the opportunity to witness that kind of generational support is a moving, very beautiful experience. To our donors whose names appear on the pages that follow, we offer our deepest and most sincere gratitude. For our students who receive these scholarships,this event is an opportunity to publicly recognize their achievement and for them to offer their heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Today, we are blessed to join together our generous donors and our promising young scholars in celebration and recognition. Please join me in thanking God for this joyous occasion.
