Oles Can. Oles Will.
Our education isn’t confined to the classroom — just ask students in our Media and the Environment course, who spent a semester creating videos for nonprofits.
"When you work beyond the classroom, you start to get ideas for how you want to live your life after college." — Rebecca DeBoer '19
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.
