We are made up of many artistic levels and talents. Our purpose is to inform the community about art events, guest speakers, old and modern techniques, and local and national artists. It is a place to share ideas, stories, and projects. The Art History Club provides students with opportunities to get together with others and appreciate many different types of art and cultural activities. Students travel to museums, galleries, ethnohistorical sites, and cultural ceremonial centers to gain a greater perspective of the arts.
Students also gather for movies and dinners both on and off campus.
Group members participate in other cultural activities such as working with Hispanic populations or fund-raising for the AIDS project. Membership is open to all students with an interest and appreciation of art and cultures. Iota Rho is the Gustavus chapter of the National Biological Honor Society, Beta Beta Beta. Tri-Beta promotes exposure to current biology research and provides opportunities for group interactions among biology students. To be an official member, one must have a GPA of 3.0 or above in at least three biology courses.
