Friends of Sandi Francis (education) are offering opportunities to provide financial and emotional support in the wake of her husband's cancer diagnosis and recent death. The following options are available and proceeds will be matched by the St. Peter Thrivent Chapter.

• Purchase a family-size, one-topping Papa Murphy's Take 'N Bake Pizza (cheese, pepperoni, or sausage topping) for $15: pre-sales will be taken through Friday, April 7 for pick up from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 11 outside the Evelyn Young Dining Room.

Individuals who are not contacted by someone in their building should feel free to contact Barb Rodning (x7617 or brodning@gustavus.edu) by Friday, April 7.

Maintenance Requests... All maintenance requests must be submitted to the physical plant office via physicalplant@gustavus.edu, phone x7504, fax x6007, or campus mail at least one working day in advance for projects requiring carpentry, plumbing, electrical, grounds, or moving crews. To ensure more timely and efficient responses, all work requests must be logged and tracked in the maintenance management database system. Contacting individual workers or calling the shops directly causes the system to be inefficient and ineffective. Emergencies should be reported to the physical plant (x7504) between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and to Safety and Security (x8888) all other times. Students should continue to submit work requests for residence halls through the appropriate CF and/or area coordinator. Contact Bob Petrich (rpetrich@gustavus.edu or x7574) with questions.

PRESIDENT'S CORNER:

Throughout this year I've described the many planning processes underway at the College. In addition to many on-campus colleagues, the Board of Trustees has been a major part of these discussions. Our work to date is available on the following website: gustavus.edu/president/progress/. I encourage you to review this site periodically and let the authors or me know if you have any thoughts or comments about the content. We're hoping that the website provides easy access to ongoing work for anyone who is interested.

One of the important aspects of this planning work has been an articulation of what we're calling our 'defining traditions' -- our liberal arts focus and our relationship to the Lutheran Church. In this regard, I formally invite you to participate in informal and relaxing discussion particularly on these two parts of the planning process. We're thinking that these conversations might take the form of dinner or luncheon discussions with colleagues who have interest and want to contribute to the process.

I ask you to indicate your interest in attending such a luncheon/dinner, and/or your interest in hosting one of them. (Hosts will be reimbursed for costs associated with such an event.) Please e-mail Pat Leagjeld at pleagjel@gustavus.edu with your interest by Thursday, April 13, so we can plan and coordinate these gatherings.

Please take some time to read these documents on the website in order to provide thoughtful reflection. Certainly there will be other opportunities to contribute to this conversation, but I hope you can participate.

Thanks,

Jim

Women Refugee Exhibit Opens Saturday... "Photographs and Stories of Refugee Women: Perseverance, Dignity, Strength, Hope, and Peace" will be on display April 8-June 29 in Linner Lounge. Jane Kramer, an English as a Second Language instructor in a nursing assistant training program for new Americans in St. Paul, met the five women featured in the display as they trained in the program. This exhibit illustrates the difficulties of being a refugee and adapting to American culture. Fleeing political and religious persecution and war in their homelands, these women face new obstacles each day in their integration into American culture. After hearing the stories of these women and admiring their strength, Kramer wanted to share their lives with others through photographs and the women's own words. She spent a year compiling photographs and interviews for this exhibit. "I am hopeful that you will see these women not as immigration statistics, but instead as mothers, sisters, classmates, co-workers, neighbors and fellow citizens who are contributing to the fabric of American society," says Kramer.

Kramer dedicates this exhibit to the memory of her father, the Rev. Ronald Koch ('61). He served on the Gustavus Board of Trustees for 10 years and coordinated Pastor-to-Pastor, a pastoral support program co-sponsored by Gustavus and the Southwestern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA.
