It's the way we teach and what we teach. That would be: how to think, to keep an open mind, and to follow your heart. John Biewen ’83, basketball player, wanted to become a doctor. After several classes with a favorite professor, he decided to major in philosophy. Where did he wind up? Program director at Minnesota Public Radio. It makes perfect sense, yes it does. At Gustavus, we challenge your thought process, no matter what your major. And, that will get you to your good place, a place that makes you happy. At Gustavus, it doesn't matter where you start out, it is where you end up. Gustavus. Get to a good place and Make Your Life Count.
