One of the many reasons that Augustana has been successful in each of its many iterations—from Camrose Lutheran College to Augustana University and even the University of Alberta's Augustana Campus—is due to successful leadership. From the short three-year term of the first principal, J.P. Tandberg, to Chester Ronning's leadership legacy that spanned over ten years, these individuals have led the campus through changes in the community, ownership and even through war. 

Take a look at the many principals, presidents and deans who have led Augustana Campus over the years.
