OLES CAN. OLES WILL.
An increasing number of St. Olaf graduates are landing careers at top creative agencies thanks to the skills that a liberal arts education provides.
These Oles are leading work at agencies ranging from Carmichael Lynch and Preston Kelly to Uproer and Ovative.
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.

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.
