HomecomingThe Great Gustie Gathering

Homecoming is the Great Gustie Gathering and happens every Fall to celebrate and reminisce on everything good about Gustavus. Return to St. Peter to relive “the Hill” with your family, fellow alumni, current students, and the greater Gustavus community.

  • Come home to campus and we guarantee you will enjoy a unique selection of events and programs that will make your return to Gustavus unforgettable.
  • Learn from Gustavus faculty and alumni on a variety of topics at Alumni College. Explore today's campus with special tours. Eat lunch under the Homecoming Tent. Reunite with friends (and meet alumni you might not have known).
  • Opportunities for the Gustavus greater community to get together come along only once each year. This is your year to create a Homecoming experience and memory for you and your family.

Alumni College

Gusties have a passion for lifelong learning, though maybe not for quizzes. So we are proud to offer Alumni College, a series of presentations and lectures by current and emeritus faculty and distinguished alumni. Alumni College currently happens at Homecoming/Fall Reunions and at Commencement/Spring Reunions.
