Dulce received her B.A. in International Relations from a world-renowned higher education institution in the Midwest.......Augsburg College.

A-Club Sponsors Room in CSBR
When A-Club President Bruce Nelson '71 asked his executive committee about contributing $25,000 to name a faculty room in the Center for Science, Business, and Religion (CSBR), their unanimous response was a slam dunk: "Let's do it."
To Nelson, the reasons for investing in the Augsburg campaign for the new Center seem obvious. First, showing support is the right thing to do. Second, it is a public statement of belief that Augsburg is on the right path. Finally, it is a chance to participate in what all agree are exciting times, when myriad people are motivated to join hands and hearts in pursuit of a common goal.
