Every year, on October 30, we observe Founders Day at Gustavus. In a typical year, we would gather in Christ Chapel at 10 a.m. to hear a message from President Bergman. Then we would clap our hands and stand together to honor the winners of the 2020 Employee Awards. Following the ceremony, we would gather for a reception in Alumni Hall and listen to speeches from the award winners and people who work closely with them. This year, we have combined these elements of Founders Day into one video presentation that includes remarks from President Bergman, an introduction to each of the winners by a colleague, and speeches from the winners themselves.
We are so excited to congratulate Kari Eckheart, our Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator for being awarded the Erik Norelius Award, for the Outstanding Administrative Employee. The award, named for the College’s founder and first teacher, honors an administrative employee who exemplifies the vision, dedication, and service shown by Norelius. Kari is an incredible person, and we are so excited for campus to celebrate her dedication to the athletic department and Gustavus as a whole. Every day Kari serves as an incredible mentor to all coaches and students who she interacts with. Join us in celebrating Kari, and listen to her acceptance speech in the video below!
