Phase I of Augustana’s strategic plan — Viking Bold: The Journey to 2030 — identified the goal of establishing a School of Education and School of Music. The first step towards building these schools involved identifying inspiring and creative leaders to help develop schools that move Augustana forward while doubling down on the university’s mission and core values.

Peter Folliard serves as Dean of Augustana University’s School of Music and Director of Innovation, where he blends artistry and technology to build meaningful outcomes for students, teams, and leaders.
