Student Research
Why Do Research?
Question. Create. Connect. These are the three driving forces behind research at Gustavus. Throughout the academic year and summer, Gusties have the chance to collaborate with faculty on research and creative projects. Research and creative inquiry takes place in classrooms, laboratories, studios, theatres, and the community. Gustie researchers carry out field research, such as collecting data on fish populations on the open seas, excavating Roman villas, measuring glacial melt in the Andes, and interviewing local farmers.
