Welcome to the all-digital winter issue of St. Olaf Magazine! Our goal is to augment the rich storytelling about our community that you’ve always found in the print issues of the magazine with the videos, audio, and interactive elements that only a digital experience can provide. In this issue, test your knowledge of St. Olaf by taking our sesquicentennial quiz — and once you’ve aced that, see how well you can place when events happened on the Hill by taking our timeline quiz. We also have audio reflections from Oles past and present about their experiences at St. Olaf, a video Q&A with this year’s Alumni Award winners, a tribute to the legacy of Bill Green ’77, and more!
Introducing Our New Strategic Plan
As we move confidently into the next 150 years, our “True North” is developing individuals of action and substance who will shape the world — in other words, Solution Seekers. Learn more about the strategic plan that will guide our work.
