Join the Gustavus community in Christ Chapel for Morning Praise worship and a blessing of employees. Hosted by the Chaplain's Office. 

Employees and students are encouraged to thank the faculty, staff, and donors who support them throughout their Gustavus experience. Stop by a Thanking Pop-Up Station to write a note of appreciation to the people who make a difference in your Gustavus experience. Hosted by Advancement. 

Join colleagues for lunch and a conversation about the connection between gratitude and wellbeing. There is nothing quite like the pressure of looming family get-togethers to make a person a little crabby about gratitude. Especially if it seems there are expectations around what you are supposed to be grateful for during this time of the year. Come and join Laura Aase in conversation around what it means to practice daily gratitude, especially when you’re not feeling it. Hosted by the Chaplain's Office.

The Hillstrom Museum is currently showing an exhibition titled "Sentimental Sediment: The Social Ecologies of Waterways." Two artists in the show, Jake Keeler and Mike Thienes, will visit  the museum and give an artist talk on November 19. The Hillstrom is displaying two of their short films and an installation of Jake's art along the back wall.  

Two artist talk sessions will occur: one from 12:30–1:30 p.m. (open to all) and another from 2–3 p.m. (intended for students). They will take place in the classroom in the museum (lower floor of Jackson Campus Center, near Health Services). 

The artists will share how they came into art and filmmaking, the influences of counter-culture on their work, and their shared interest in fishing and fly tying. Light refreshments and fun postcards will be provided.

Take a break and connect with colleagues during Gratitude Week! Stop by for a hot chocolate bar and popcorn. Hosted by Executive Leadership Team (XLT) and President’s Leadership Team (PLT).

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.

Join us for Thursday Chapel Break with a message from Rev. David Lick ’09, followed by chili offering.
