Campus Forum on Sexual Misconduct...Student Senate, the Diversity Center, the President’s Council on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Dean of Students office, and President Bergman are hosting a campus forum on sexual misconduct on Monday, March 7 at 5:30 p.m. in Christ Chapel. The campus forum will consist of opening remarks, a question-and-answer period, small group discussion and large group sharing. To help facilitate the question-and-answer portion of the meeting, you are invited you to submit your questions via this webpage. You must be logged into your Gustavus account to access the form, though all responses will be anonymous. Responses will be sorted and summarized by a committee of students and administrators for efficient response during the event. If possible, please try to submit your questions prior to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 6. Students are also welcome to ask questions in person at the forum.

Pet Policy...The College pet policy will take effect on June 1, 2016. An campus-wide email with the policy was sent on Wed., March 2. Please review the document and contact the Department of Human Resources with any questions. 

Commencement Student Speaker Nominations...Faculty, administrators, and staff are encouraged to submit names of senior students who may have interest and ability to serve as the student speaker at Commencement. Candidates should uphold the College’s value of academic excellence, should be engaged in a meaningful way in the Gustavus community, should have the ability to reflect upon their experience, articulate a message that resonates with the audience, and bring dignity to the College. Names should be submitted to Alex Johnson, chair of the selection committee.

2016 MAYDAY! Peace Conference...Mark your calendar for the 2016 MAYDAY! Peace Conference on Wed., April 27. Titled “Divestment & Reinvestment: Making Money Count,” the conference will consider whether or not divestment is an effective tool for building peace. Speakers with a wide range of perspectives will examine past divestment initiatives and current strategies, investigate the impact of power structures, and explore the complexity and commitments surrounding the ongoing debate on the morality and mechanics of divestment. The event is free and open to the public and will be streamed live online. More information is available online.

Swimming lessons are back...Gustavus Swimming and Diving is excited to offer spring swimming lessons for children ages four-years old and up. Follow the link for registration and information.  Lessons begin April 4 and run through May 4.

Learn to Live Mental Health Program...Gustavus is excited to announce the launch of a new resource for our students called Learn to Live.  We believe this premium online mental health service will enhance our well-being offering by providing our students an alternative that has proven to be as successful as in-person behavioral health counseling. We are happy to pass along the following introductory note from our new partner:

Hello from Learn to Live!  We are excited to partner with Gustavus to bring top notch mental health programs to your students.

Learn to Live is an online option for students who struggle with stress, depression or social anxiety to receive help in the privacy of their own residence, at any time. Students can enroll for free in any of Learn to Live’s three interactive programs – Social Anxiety, Depression, or Stress, Anxiety & Worry – or take Learn to Live’s quick assessment to find out if stress, anxiety or discouragement could be impacting other areas of their life. Students can visit learntolive.com/partners and enter code “GUSTAVUS” for access.

The Dean of Students office will be sending an email later this week to all students on our behalf, announcing the availability of our programs. You will likely encounter us through our awareness and engagement initiatives as we reach out to your students on campus as well.

As faculty and staff, you may be aware of the significant impact of a student’s mental health on classroom performance. Untreated conditions like stress, depression and anxiety may contribute to decreased motivation and attendance, and increased short and long-term disability. You are often the first to see these issues arise in a student’s life and are well-positioned to encourage their use of available resources.

As a third party service, we want to assure you that our member information is completely confidential and student information will not be shared with Gustavus administration, faculty or staff. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@learntolive.com. You may also contact Gustavus’ program representative – Jessica Braun RN, CNP, Health Service, at 507-933-7630, or jbraun3@gustavus.edu.

It's that time of year again... Endowed Scholarship Thank-You Time! Please encourage students to complete their scholarship thank yous. If you could make an announcement in your classes, to your student employees, or to the student group you advise to encourage students to express their appreciation to those folks who continue to provide opportunities for Gusties. It is a quick and easy process, and is all online. Email links will be in their email inbox and the Thank-You Portal will be open until March 25, 2016. Questions can be directed to Maggie Hedlund Forster '09 or by calling 507-933-6513.

Campus Happenings 

Tickets still available...This year’s Building Bridges Conference will be held on Sat., March 5 and will focus on two major aspects of the War on Drugs: the effects of the United States Government's massive spending on drug-fighting efforts, and the role of United States Drug Policy in the creation of international and domestic violence. Through this conference, we hope to educate our community about the average US citizen’s proximity to instances of violence that may seem far removed from their daily lives, but nonetheless contribute to loss of life, liberty, and human dignity. Tickets can be requested at gustavustickets.com
