This subseries contains ephemera produced by or related to Augustana College and its departments. Materials primarily include programs, pamphlets, flyers, campus-wide mailings, calendars and departmental flyers and brochures.

Of note in this subseries are materials related to protests attended by Augustana community members, including three folders of material created by students and faculty who attended the Women's March on Washington, D.C., as well as local rallies held contemporaneously in the Quad Cities in January 2017.
