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 the Strommen Career and Internship Services and explain how we can assist you. Faculty are encouraged to visit our office in Christensen Center, Suite 100 anytime.
