OLES CAN. OLES WILL.
The renowned St. Olaf Christmas Festival had to be reimagined this year. The result is a virtual concert and music program designed to bring healing and hope to viewers around the world.
On Sunday, December 6, St. Olaf will present All Earth is Hopeful.
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.
