A year-long partnership between Augustana College and the city of Clinton is ending. Tuesday afternoon, they'll celebrate the success of the first Sustainable Working Landscapes Initiative.
During the past year, more than 300 students, in 20 different classes, worked on a variety of projects for the city. City Administrator Jessica Kinser says one of the projects involved students in accounting.
But since budgeting for the new fiscal year is over, these recommendations will be considered when the 2017-2018 budget is put together.
Kinser says some other Augustana students surveyed Clinton employees - they learned about 90 per cent are satisfied with their jobs, and many would like the city to offer a wellness program.
Next fall, students from the college will participate in a similar partnership with Scott County.
The celebration will be held at Eagle Point Lodge in Clinton from 4 to 5:30 pm.
