Building For Habitat

 
 

Friday, November 17, 2006 (Around 2 years ago)

This week, students with the Gustavus chapter of Habitat for Humanity built a storage shed to go along with the next “Habitat House” built in St. Peter. The students received help from several faculty members and college employees during the week.

Gustavus Adolphus College is a private liberal arts college in St. Peter, Minn., that prepares 2,600 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®.
