Get Ready Gusties Newsletter 6 (July 11)

Hill Highlights from Gustavus

Fall will be here before we know it! With roommate assignments posted (more info below), now is a great time to connect with who you’ll be sharing a space with for eight months. 

To be all ready for orientation, there are still a few items to be done. If you can’t find what you need or have questions, check the Get Ready Gusties web page, or visit our email archive to see what you may have missed. 

Go Gusties!

TO DO

TO KNOW

HOW TO GUSTIE
  • PACKING LIST: Instead of fumbling to carry shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles to the bathroom, try a shower caddy to transport your shower essentials.
  • GUSTIE LINGO: Ring Road: noun, the road that wraps all the way around campus. Watch out for the speed bumps!
  • UNSPOKEN RULE: To keep track of your keys and ID, lots of students use a lanyard — but you’ll rarely see Gusties wearing the lanyard around their necks. 
  • CAF CREATION: Beyond grabbing a delicious and nutritious salad, the salad bar is the ultimate customization station. Whether you’re looking to add sour cream and cheese to your baked potato or you want to amp up your wrap with some Caesar dressing and cucumbers, make your way over to the back corner of the caf. 
  • ACRONYM DEFINED: The Diversity Leadership Council, a student run group of representatives, is often referred to as DLC.

AROUND RING ROAD

  • LOCAL GEM: New to Saint Peter, Paddlefish Brewing Co. is a Gustie-owned brewery serving up kombucha, mocktails, and beer (for the “of age” audience). Stop by on a Wednesday with friends for trivia!
  • SECRET SPOT: Located on the northwest corner of campus, you’ll find the Drenttel Golf Facility, featuring three heated hitting bays, a putting green, and a golf simulator.
  • INSTAGRAM: Gusties go everywhere! This month, three students are in Ecuador studying glaciers. See what they’re up to!
