Augustana is a private, selective college of the liberal arts and sciences, located on 115 wooded acres overlooking the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois, which is part of the Quad Cities metro area. Augustana's Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa Celebrates 50th Anniversary Only academically exceptional schools are permitted to have Phi Beta Kappa chapters, and the application process consists of a rigorous examination and a vote by a council of the national Phi Beta Kappa organization. Two students from Augustana College have been selected to serve as reading tutors at Rock Island's Longfellow Elementary School as part of the national America Reads initiative. Elizabeth Neptun and Erin Roerkohl were chosen based on their backgrounds as elementary education majors, and their work-study program eligibility.
Admission is free.
