New Full-Time Faculty

2008-2009

The colleagues listed below include both new on tenure-track contracts and one-year Fellows. The Fellowship program began as a cooperative relationship with the University of Iowa and has now extended to several other universities. The Faculty Fellows are students in the last year of graduate study who join our faculty for either one or two years. They provide us with access to outstanding young colleagues while Augustana provides them with structured support for their development as teacher-scholars.
