FALL 2020 800 WEST COLLEGE AVENUE SAINT. PETER, MINNESOTA 56082
Act Next How We
Things will look different this fall as the College welcomes students back for on-campus living and learning, but we know this: the power of the Gustavus community remains the same. Harnessing that collective spirit, President Bergman introduced a new acronym that will guide students, faculty, and staff—“Gusties ROAR!” The letters stand for “Respect Others, Act Responsibly.” The College’s plans for safe on-campus operations were developed this summer by 12 COVID-19 action teams focusing on areas ranging
from dining service to residential life to academic spaces to personal protective equipment and more. Among other changes, we will have socially distant classrooms, plexiglass safety barriers, daily self-assessments for COVID-19 symptoms, and on-campus testing and contact tracing. Pages of detailed plans will guide our learning and living, but it boils down to students, faculty, and staff doing the right thing to protect fellow members of the Gustavus community. We all know that Gusties shine. This fall, we will ROAR!
