Gustavus Caf
The Gustavus student body and community has access to a wonderful cafeteria on campus. This cafeteria, called the Market Place, always strives to offer many different food choices for its customers. This wide variety of food that is offered is a special thing at Gustavus because many students eat at the Market Place three times […]
Gustie Spring
Birds chirping, green grass, shorts, and increased outdoor activity usually signal that spring has yet again returned to St. Peter. Because of the warmer weather, Gustavus students desperately try to spend as much time outside as possible. On any on-campus grassy area, there is likely to be several students relaxing under the sun. I love […]
Cap and Gown
On April 2nd all seniors had the opportunity to pick up their cap and gowns for the May 2009 graduation. However, actually picking up the cap and gown was only part of the process. Information tables were set out that informed seniors about tips after graduation, senior class gifts, senior week events (a week of […]
On Campus Living
Four busy, often tired, college students living in one apartment can result in messy rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. When schoolwork, sports, and other social activities are so important to the lives of many Gusties, cleanliness at a college home can easily be ignored. In my apartment, everything else seems wildly more interesting and necessary than […]
On Campus Visit to Gustavus
Perhaps ones final choice on where to attend college is most influenced by a college visit. That was certainly the case for me. I felt immediately at home at Gustavus. I remember walking around campus and being especially impressed by the layout of buildings and the Jackson Campus Center. Setting up an individual appointment with […]
Spring Break 09
Spring Break has nearly arrived, and I am excited for the week break from school. Classes at Gustavus are hard work, and it will be nice to relax for a while. Many college students use the time off from school to travel some place warm and exotic. That sounds wonderful, but it is not in […]
Developmental Biology
This semester I am enrolled in a 300 level biology course titled Developmental Biology. So far, it has been a blast. The lecture portion of the course meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:30 to 12:20. My favorite topic we learned about was how mature C. elegans, a simple worm, always have 959 cells in […]
Hollingsworth Field
Gustavus recently finished construction on a brand new football facility on campus. The complex, named Hollingsworth Field, is an impressive stadium for fans and athletes alike. The new football field has been well received by nearly all Gustie students. Aesthetically, it is very pleasing and it is functional too. What I have been surprised by […]
21+ Dive Night
Each Friday night during the academic year, there is a late night and informal campus wide dance held at Gustavus. These Friday night dances occur in The Dive, which is a large lounge area full of comfy couches, televisions, and a dance floor. Every so often, there is a 21+ Dive night that occurs for […]
Feminist Philosophy
One of my favorite academic decisions that I have made involved choosing philosophy as a minor at Gustavus. I have had the opportunity to take a wide variety of philosophy courses, and I have enjoyed each of them. The philosophy department is home to some of the most challenging, interesting, and talented professors at GAC. […]
