Motivate.

A Gustavus student is an engaged student. Gusties like to be involved—in class discussions, in social justice, in their faith, in campus activities, and in the community. Our dedicated faculty want you to thrive. They want to help you think about ideas from more than one angle, form opinions, and then defend them. The world needs more good thinkers. Our professors believe in rigor and in a diverse and motivated classroom.
