Oles Can. Oles Will.
Isaiah Scharen ’20 is embracing the liberal arts by exploring the things he’s most passionate about: studio art, physics, and study abroad.
"Everywhere they intersect I find really interesting, whether it be architecture or kinetic sculpture or industrial design."
At St. Olaf, we don’t turn out typical college grads. We turn out Oles. Oles are the people companies want. Oles are the people the planet needs.

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.
