Augustana Commencement Speaker

Twitter

An expert on education will be the commencement speaker this spring at Augustana College. Brandon Busteed is executive director of Education for the Gallup company. 

His work involves using Gallup's research to improve student and teacher performance, and then to connect education with jobs and job creation. 
He's also the founder of a company called Outside The Classroom that uses online education to prevent alcohol abuse. 
Augustana's 155th Commencement will be held on May 24th at the I Wireless Center. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
