OLES CAN. OLES WILL.
St. Olaf’s fall production of the musical “Mamma Mia!” brought students together to celebrate the power of the arts following a summer of separation.
“Theater is about seeing. It’s about being seen, it’s about community.” - Mary Maker ’23

As we return to campus, all Oles have an important part to play in keeping our entire community healthy and safe. As individuals we may not feel at risk, but we each need to act to protect those around us. As Oles, we care deeply about our community. We can do this together.

Discover St. Olaf
Oles don’t all look alike or think alike, but what they do share is an enthusiasm. An optimism. A work ethic driven by the knowledge that anything is possible, the answer to every problem is yes, that what’s broken needs fixing, what’s working can be improved. Oles think harder, dive deeper.
