Gustavus Honors Day

Every year, Gustavus host's Honors Weekend on campus, where they recognize the academic achievement of our students! This year, while we couldn't be together to celebrate, we wanted to express how incredibly proud we are of both Maggie Leininger and Abby Mullenbach! 

Magnuson Award - Established in 1991 in recognition of the Honorable Paul Magnuson ’59, chief judge of the U.S. Federal District Court in St. Paul and former trustee of the College, to recognize the significant contributions that individual students and student groups make to campus life. Each year, outstanding students and student organizations are nominated by fellow students, faculty, administrators, or staff for recognition and a selection committee assembled by the dean of students reviews nominations and determines honorees in three categories: individual student leaders, campus organizations, and student-initiated events.

Guild of St. Ansgar - Is named for the first Christian missionary to the Scandinavians (and in honor of St. Ansgar’s Academy, the name by which the College was known in the first decade following its founding), is an honorary society for seniors at the College. It was established in the spring of 1952 in response to a desire to recognize the overall achievements—scholarship, leadership, and participation in extracurricular activities— of graduating seniors.



President's Honor List - The President’s Honor List comprises those students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 or better (on a 4.0 scale) through January of the academic year.
