Did You Know?
On March 29, 1998, a mile-wide tornado devastated the Gustavus campus. Students were on break at the time and no one was hurt, but the tornado caused $50 million in damage, broke 80% of the windows on campus, and destroyed 90% of the trees. Despite the damage, the college was re-opened just 23 days after the devastating event.
