Strommen Career & Internship Center - Welcome Augsburg Faculty!
The Career and Internship Center is committed to working closely with students, faculty, and the community to provide off-campus opportunities for students that will enrich and expand their learning in the classroom and also to help students make good career decisions. The center was founded on principles of experiential education and promotes the integration of theory and practice with career development. We believe students will be better prepared for lifelong community and civic engagement -- and meaningful careers -- when they combine structured off-campus volunteering, internships, and work experiences with their Augsburg education.
We can visit with individual faculty or departments to give an overview of SCIC and explain how we can assist you. Faculty are encouraged to visit our office in Anderson Hall (lower level) anytime.
