Service has always been a part of Gustavus’s mission. It is common for students to participate in service projects or classes. But how many students are willing to put their life on the line for this core value?

Service to others occurs throughout the year at Gustavus, and at Christmastime several service traditions help make the holiday season a little brighter for others.

As a part of the First Term Seminar “Are We Consumers or Are We Citizens,” 14 Gustavus students traveled to Winona, Minn., Saturday, Oct. 27 to lend a helping hand with flood clean-up efforts.

Throughout the year students and student organizations coordinate and participate in service projects and during October some unique traditions occur.

Gustavus’ Chicano/Latino Youth Leadership Institute (ChYLI) program is recognized for furthering human rights in the St. Peter community. It will receive the St. Peter 2006 Human Rights Award from the city’s Human Rights Commission.
