ROCK ISLAND, IL (05/19/2015)(readMedia)-- Augustana College's Career Development Office announced the seniors with the highest ranking Viking Scores.
The Viking Score is Augustana's unique and valuable approach to helping students track their level of professional preparation. A voluntary program, the Viking Score is available for all students regardless of year or major.
Valerie (Lambert) Kroll '07, manager, digital analytics, American Medical Association says, "The Viking Score takes the ambiguity out of the steps students must take to acquire a full-time position following graduation. It also gives students an opportunity to learn about multiple career tracks, including non-traditional roles, that can leverage their strengths and interests. Now students will be equipped to be career-minded throughout their college experience versus waiting until their final year(s) to begin planning."
Those from your area achieving the highest Viking Scores are:
Samantha Turner of Rock Island majoring in Histroy and Anthropology.
Christine Harb of Davenport majoring in Biology and Pre-Medicine.
