Tuesday, March 7, 2006 (Around 2 years ago)

Gustavus faculty members got a preview of next year’s first-year class during the College’s scholarship day. Over two weekends, nearly 300 high school seniors were on campus to interview for the top academic scholarships the school offers — Presidential Scholarships, Jussi Björling Music Scholarship, Evelyn C. Anderson Theatre/Dance Scholarship, and the Gustavus Art Scholarship. Each candidate was interviewed by two members of the faculty and/or administrators as a way to get to know the students and for the students to get a better picture of the College.

Gustavus Adolphus College is a private liberal arts college in St. Peter, Minn., that prepares 2,500 undergraduates for lives of leadership, service, and lifelong learning. The oldest Lutheran college in Minnesota, Gustavus was founded in 1862 by Swedish immigrants and named for Swedish King Gustav II Adolf. At Gustavus, students receive personal attention in small-sized classes and engage in collaborative research with their professors. Fully accredited and known for its strong science, writing, music, athletics, study-abroad, and service-learning programs, Gustavus hosts a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and is internationally recognized for its annual Nobel Conference®.
