STUDENT RESOURCES OPEN HOUSES
The Academic Success Center offers student-centered, accessible, and inclusive services to unlock the potential of every Ole.
The Institute for Freedom & Community encourages free inquiry and meaningful debate of important political and social issues. By exploring diverse ideas about politics, markets, and society, the institute aims to challenge presuppositions, question easy answers, and foster constructive dialogue among those with differing values and contending points of view.
The Lutheran Center creates spaces to encounter Lutheran identity and tradition, navigate across lines of religious difference, and explore our individual and collective vocations in ways that open us to the needs of others. Their strategic engagement with communities of faith beyond campus puts these same principles into practice in their support, accompaniment, and resourcing of both professional and lay leaders.
The Piper Center for Vocation and Career helps students explore careers, gain experience outside of the classroom, and pursue meaningful post-graduate work, service, and education
The Smith Center offers local to global engagement opportunities that extend St. Olaf’s liberal arts learning to communities locally and around the world.
The Office of Student Activities mission is to empower students to discover and define their passions, themselves, and their communities. OSA seeks to promote an active and engaged campus environment and striving to know each Ole by name and story.
The Taylor Center is a place to critically define progress and discuss change. They create intentional spaces to increase understanding, awareness, and action among the different Ole communities by leading with the voices of students and centering their experiences.
Tostrud Center and Campus Recreation’s mission is to serve students and the greater St. Olaf College community by offering recreational programs and services aimed to foster personal development and lifelong well-being within a welcoming environment.
The St. Olaf Wellness Center seeks to create an individual and community culture that empowers students to make balanced lifestyle decisions through education and resource support.
