Events

Gustie Days are select Saturday visits that let you step right into life at Gustavus. Get to know campus through a guided group tour, hear real stories from students on a panel, learn the basics in an info session, and enjoy a meal in our dining hall. Plus, take home a fun piece of Gustie swag.

Gustavus Adolphus College was founded in 1862 during the same months as the Dakota-U.S. War, which resulted in the removal of Dakota people from their homeland. A student-faculty research team have been reexamining the college's settler history and its relationship with Dakota people.

Breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts, this play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Join the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra as they present their fall concert.

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.
