Testimonials

Rodrigo Sanchez-Gonzalez
Associate Professor of Chemistry

“I am very happy to be a part of an institution that values my passion for teaching and being an active scholar, and that I get to share this passion with a vibrant community. I know that I made the right choice by coming here.”

Janele Grassle
Associate Director of Alumni Career Services

“In three words — generous, committed, connected. I find Oles to be amazingly generous. As the alumni career coach, I not only support Oles but also request support from Oles — and I am never disappointed. If you are in a new city, state, or country, there is an Ole network to welcome you.”

Sean Lauderbaugh
Assistant Director of
Financial Aid

“To be an Ole is to be at St. Olaf. You don’t have to be an alumni to be an Ole. As long as you are affiliated, you are part of the community and therefore an Ole. It is a symbol of growth and development – a status where you transcend your past. Working at an institution like St. Olaf encourages both professional and personal growth – which is what being an Ole is about.”
