Gustavus prepares students to act on the great challenges of our time. Over the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges of unprecedented scope.

Just as our faculty and sta gave an extra e ort to keep courses running and ensure the safety of our campus community, so have Gustie students stepped forward to help people a ected by the pandemic. Vince Nguyen ’22 In his nursing internship at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, VINCE NGUYEN worked with patients in the mental health unit. He saw how the death of a family member from COVID-19 or loss of a job could plunge people into depression or substance abuse. The experience only confi rmed Vince’s decision to become a mental health nurse. “It’s vocationally satisfying,” he said, “knowing that I am able to help people individually.” Like people who dedicate themselves to helping others, gifts to the Gustavus Fund don’t get the spotlight. But they are essential. Together with the gifts of other members of the Gustavus community, your contribution provides the foundation for the College’s missiondriven work. The Gustavus Fund sets the stage for our students to develop their talents for roles of leadership and service. Please give to the Gustavus Fund today. Without your gifts, Gustavus would not be able to prepare talented young people like Vince Nguyen, who are already meeting the challenges of our time.
