  • Shari Jacobson, Market Place Supervisor, Dining Service

From the President's Desk

A Note from President Ohle...The College's core value of community has never been expressed more effectively than it has over the last ten days.  A simple thank you for what so many did to help with the kickoff of our Sesquicentennial, the dedication of Beck Hall, the announcement of Campaign Gustavus, the celebration of Homecoming, and the 47th Nobel Conference is not adequate. I wish I could thank each of you personally, but I hope you know how much the Board of Trustees, the administration, and I thank you for your part in helping thousands of people know Gustavus in a special way.

We have received comments from our many alumni and friends acknowledging the warmth and sincerity of the entire Gustavus community.  People who commented noted the friendliness and thoughtfulness of everyone they met.  From Dining Service staff to the Physical Plant crew, the Alumni and Advancement staffs to the workers for the Nobel Conference, the faculty who met with alumni and others as they walked through the academic buildings to the staff at the Information Desk, everyone contributed to the success of the many activities over the past week.

We had a magnificent worship service on Sunday to end Homecoming Weekend.  The alumni choir, combined with the Gustavus Choirs, and the musicians at the Nobel Conference and Concert touched our visitors in very special ways.  Even the weather was better than we could have asked for.

Thank you again to the entire Gustavus community.
