Gustavus Adolphus College invites nominations and applications for a visionary, accomplished, mission-focused servant leader to serve as its next President.
With a proud heritage rooted in its founding by Swedish-Lutheran immigrants and in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America liberal arts tradition, Gustavus Adolphus is a selective, private, residential liberal arts college with 2,000 students from 40 states and 35 countries. The next President will build upon a strong, over 160-year foundation to elevate the College to new heights.
