Looking for something to do during Spring Break?...The Community Engagement Center is looking for Gustavus faculty and staff to be trip advisers for upcoming Habitat for Humanity volunteer trips during spring break (April 4-11).

Trip adviser guidelines are posted on the Community Engagement website. There is no cost to participate and all employees are eligible (see guidelines for approvals needed). Applications are available here: Spring Break Trip Adviser Application (and on the CEC website) and must be submitted by November 8, 2019. Community Engagement Center staff and campus Habitat for Humanity board representatives will review applications and select the individuals who meet the selection criteria. Please contact Amy Pehrson (x6011) with questions or more information about this program.

The Registry: Screening and Q & A...At 9 a.m. on Monday, October 28 in Bjorling Recital Hall, there will be a screening of the movie The Registry. Following the screening, there will be a Q & A with filmmaker Steve Ozone, and one of the film's main subjects, Seiki Oshiro. This event is free and open to the public. Synopsis: During World War II, a select group of Japanese-Americans stayed out of internment camps in exchange for serving in the Military Intelligence Service, a unit of the U.S Army that was based at Camp Savage and Fort Snelling in Minnesota. The Registry captures the seldom-told story of this obscure unit's contributions to Allied victory. It also presents a portrait of these men in their later years, as they gain recognition for their historic roles in the war, and reflect on the themes of identity, adversity, and duty. This event is sponsored by the Departments of Geography and Art & Art History and the Japanese Studies Program, with support from the Gustavus Lyceum Lectures Series. Questions? Contact Jesse McClelland, Department of Geography.

Saint Peter Weekly Newsletter...As we continue to find ways to strengthen our partnership with the City of Saint Peter we would like to share this link to their weekly newsletter. Be sure to read it for the latest information about the greater Saint Peter community.

Book by James Lapine, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Henry MacCarthy, Director

November 3 | 2 p.m.
Anderson Theatre

Delving into the dark and whimsical lore of the Brothers Grimm, Stephen Sondheim taps into the shared world of fantasy that aims to connect us all. Sondheim weaves the fairy tales of our youth together into a single narrative on the quest for family, the perils of the past, and the importance of forging a path for ourselves, even in the thick of the woods. An exhilarating musical theatre experience. Limited seating. This production may not be appropriate for young children.
