The Gustavus Rhythm in April

There is much excitement with the arrival of spring at Gustavus.  The students are very busy with research projects, athletic competitions, concerts, recitals, lectures, and job searches.  The time from spring break to the end of the semester creates a wide range of emotion.  The end of the semester brings looming pressures.  Seniors realize the reality of graduation, which may bring relief, sadness, joy, and panic.  There can also be disenchantment with normal services such as food service and residential life.
