Join CAB and OLAS to play Loteria! Grand prizes include two fully paid packages for six people to Kato Escape, an escape room in Mankato. 

Join us for the inaugural session of the Cornerstones of Belonging series, which will introduce a framework for understanding and advancing community and belonging on campus.

The initial Lunch & Learn session will focus primarily on the Unwritten Curriculum—the implicit norms, expectations, practices, and assumed knowledge that influence how students understand and navigate the campus environment. We will explore how these often-unspoken elements of campus life can shape students’ experiences, sense of connection, and capacity to fully participate in the academic community.

The session will also introduce the 8 Cornerstones of Belonging that will serve as the framework for the Cornerstones of Belonging and guide future conversations and learning experiences. During this and future sessions, participants will explore how intentional practices can foster a more inclusive and connected campus community.

Join us for morning praise with Gustavus Choir and Christ Chapel Ringers at Tuesday Chapel Break.

Since 2023, the Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies has organized a lecture on the theme of the year's Nobel Conference in the week following the conference. Dr. Georgia Irby of William and Mary College, an expert on rivers in Greco-Roman antiquity, delivers this year's lecture, "Ancient Rivers: Anthropomorphized, Rationalized, Politicized."

Please join us for the opening reception and artist talk of Sobia Ahmad's "As One They Quake" on Wednesday, October 14, from 5–7 p.m. The new exhibition will be on display in the Schaefer Gallery from September 10 to November 13. Composed of celluloid-based film and photographic works, Ahmad's pieces have emerged from her ongoing engagement with Pando, an ancient aspen forest in south-central Utah. 

Emotional Resonance in Oscar Navarro’s “Things of Destiny”

Oscar Navarro (1981, Spain) “Things of Destiny" 

Mr. Navarro composed this trio in 2009, dedicated to his girlfriend Noelia Belijar, now his beloved wife. Preston Deck ’29 (violin), Sharon Mautner-Rodgers (cello), and Yumiko Oshima-Ryan (piano) present this work to illustrate a narrative of a love story.

Navarro states: “This work is divided into four parts in which two main contrasting themes are presented, both rhythmically and melodically. Throughout the entirety of this piece, each instrument becomes a protagonist, being for each of them an ambitious and attractive challenge in which the enjoyment of music is the cornerstone of feeling the magic of 'Things of Destiny.'"

During the colloquium, we look forward to exploring these musical insights further, culminating in our performance of the piano trio.
