 Join the GAC student orgs as they paint their way to victory in an 80s-themed window painting contest! Prizes will be awarded for first, second, third, and Gustie's Choice. CAB provides paint; you provide the ideas!

Come join Delta Phi Omega and Epsilon Pi Alpha to learn about Greek life at Gustavus, eat some yummy s’mores, and play a friendly game of sand volleyball!

Come chat with Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore, one of our featured Nobel Conference speakers, to hear more about her path from first-generation college student to becoming a certified "genius" as a winner of the distinguished Macarther Fellowship, otherwise known as the Genius Grant. Dr. Schulte Moore's innovative work in biology, ecology, and agricultural policy set a new standard for translating science into real community change. She is looking forward to talking with students about environmental science, putting your education to work for the greater good, and sharing her own path to success as a first-gen. All students welcome!

The 62nd Nobel Conference will cover the Mississippi River. On official maps, the Mississippi River is merely the water that lies between two banks; however, both cutting-edge science and ancient ways of knowing define the river as being much more expansive than that simple blue line on a page. Today, historians and social scientists are shedding new light on the myriad of ways the Mississippi shapes human communities and power structures. 

This conference invites us to challenge conventional definitions by considering the dynamic intersections of geological forces, biological communities, human cultures and ecological systems. Leading experts from multiple disciplines will explore how the watershed has evolved, how the introduction of new fish and plant species has altered the river’s ecology, and how climate change, agricultural runoff, river engineering projects, and other human uses pose challenges to the future health of the river and those who depend on it. Indigenous perspectives will help us honor the river’s complex ecological, social, and spiritual contexts.

Come to Chipotle at 1600 Warren Street in Mankato, on October 7 from 5–9 p.m. to help fight cancer. Just show a picture of the ACS Chipotle poster at the register or use the online order code, and 25 percent of the proceeds will be donated towards funding cancer research and patient support.

Get to know yourself better through guided meditation! Meditation offers a simple yet powerful way to calm your mind, reduce anxiety, and improve focus. Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve practiced for years, tried it in the past, or are a beginner. Join us in the Bonnier Multifaith Center in Anderson Hall. Chairs and cushions are available. All members of the campus community (and beyond!) are invited to experience the transformative power of mindfulness.
