Gustavus Partners with ASI

The American Swedish Institute, a museum and cultural center with an international reputation on historic Park Avenue in the heart of south Minneapolis, unveiled designs for the Nelson Cultural Center, a building to be constructed adjacent to the iconic Turnblad Mansion. The Center will house, among other things, an outreach office for Gustavus. Gustavus will use its new space for Twin Cities admission, institutional advancement, and educational programming. “This Twin Cities presence will greatly enhance and support the many and diverse activities that engage our Twin Cities area constituents,” said President Jack R. Ohle. “With this partnership, the College and the Institute are excited to build on a long-standing relationship based upon common Swedish heritage and mutual passion for excellence, education, and service.”
