There is also a great change on our college campus. I wished I could transport each one of you to campus, you would not believe the change that has taken place. All buildings have to been repaired, and a new dining hall has been built and will be dedicated to Evelyn Sponberg Young 33. A new BookMark, post office, health service, printing service, etc. are all in place in the new Campus Center. The old dining area is being renovated and will be ready in February as needed office space for administration, staff and student organizations.
Construction also includes landscaping, parking lots on the north end of the campus.
Gustavus has planted over 1,600 trees. The arboretum building is all repaired and a new building added for student classroom. The grounds are beautiful with new trees and flowers. The tornado did much damage to the arboretum, too. Much good has come out of the damage that was done.
