SAGA
What is SAGA?
SAGA is Augustana's art and literary magazine. This is where Augie's creative writers showcase their accomplishments to the campus community. Published twice yearly, the magazine accepts student submissions of poetry, fiction, and artwork, including drawings, paintings, and photography.
Events
SAGA has branched out to become more than just a magazine. The group's goal is to promote the arts on Augustana's campus to the greatest extent possible. SAGA has begun hosting events such as poetry slams and readings and hopes soon to host a yearly gallery walk featuring student art work.
Did you Know?
"Saga" means "a myth or heroic legend" in Scandinavian. The name was chosen to reflect the creative writing which arises from the influence and atmosphere of Augustana with its Scandinavian background.
