As we mark the 150th anniversary of St. Olaf College and celebrate the generations of teachers and learners who have laid a strong foundation for a transformative liberal arts education grounded in our Lutheran tradition, we move confidently into the future. Our “True North” is developing individuals of action and substance who will shape the world — in other words, solution seekers.
