The first of three finalists for Campus Chaplain will visit Augustana College Thursday. Pastor Emily Ewing from Des Moines will spend two days doing on-campus interviews and working with the worship planning team to design and lead a 45 minute worship service.
One of the finalists will replace Richard Priggie, who retired in the spring after serving the college for 21 years.
The other two candidates will visit the college next week, one on Monday and one on Thursday.
For the past year, Ewing has been the Social Justice Pastor at Trinity las Americas United Methodist Church in Des Moines and has served as chaplain resident at UnityPoint Health, also in Des Moines.
