Welcome, Class of 2020 Students are back on the Hill
Gustavus Adolphus College welcomed the class of 2020 on Friday, Sept. 2 — a clear, temperate, sunny day— with move-in help from the football team, photo opportunities and an ice cream social hosted by the Alumni Association, and wonderful programming from Student Life, the Office of the Chaplains, the Gustie Greeters and President Bergman.
The new first-year class boasts an average high school grade point average of 3.61 and an average ACT score of 27. Twenty percent graduated high school with a 4.0 or higher. There are fourth-generation Gusties among them, and there are those who are the first in their families to attend college.
The new students hail from 35 states and 13 countries. For the next four years, all will call Gustavus home. From here forward they will be Gusties for a lifetime.
