I so relish hearing from ourbeloved alumni.Life for today’s Green Knight surely is different from that ofdear Ignatius Francis Van Dyke, my very first student back in1898. Oh, the campus conveniences St. Norbert students nowenjoy!These days our students purchase their books – and much,much more – at the bookstore in Todd Wehr Hall. They canbrowse unusual gifts at Discoveries International, also locatedconveniently in Todd Wehr. Our business students who run thelatter stock products imported from developing nations, and itgives me great pleasure to state that they then reinvest theproceeds in charitable causes in those same countries. Students also have the advantage of being able to purchasefoodstuffs and other necessities at Phil’s, in the CampusCenter.The World Wide Web has brought with it many wonders, to besure. Students and alumni alike – and abbots, indeed – nowAs the founder of St.Norbert College, andhaving a prime seat in thecenter of campusthroughout the years, I,Abbot Bernard Pennings,hold the answers to manyof your burning questionsabout the college.Submit Your QuestionAsk the AbbotAlumniEvents & ReunionsBehind the ArchBenefits and ServicesGet InvolvedGive to SNCAlumni AwardsKnight LightsAlumni-OwnedBusinesses NetworkAlumni BoardStudent AlumniAmbassadorsStaffALUMNI  PARENTS  LOCAL COMMUNITY  STUDENTS  FACULTY & STAFF  A-Z INDEXAcademics  Admission  Campus Life  Living Norbertine  Athletics  About  also shop from the comfort of their homes at distant emporiathat include the college’s online store. While students almost never need leave campus to shop, thosewho choose to do so now have an easier time traveling to areastores. In accordance with a recent agreement with Green BayMetro, students, faculty and staff can ride city buses on all 13regional routes without charge, simply by showing their St.Norbert College identity card. What a fine example ofcommunio in motion!Tom, in our day life was perhaps simpler and, at the sametime, all necessities were readily procured from neighborhoodand Main Street establishments. I have sometimes, wondered,though, how students fared in the ensuing decades that broughtnew-fangled malls and large establishments within less easyreach of campus. I do invite other members of our esteemedalumni to write to me with their memories.Responses to “Ask the Abbot” questions are penned by St.Norbert College staff in the name of Abbot Bernard Pennings,O.Praem., who founded St. Norbert College in 1898.St. Norbert College100 Grant Street De Pere, WI 54115 920-337-3181 Map & Directions Contact UsCareersLibraryNewsEventsBox OfficeUndergraduateGraduateSchneider School ofBusiness & Economics© 2021 St. Norbert College  |   Nondiscrimination Policy  |   Land Acknowledgement  |   Privacy Statement  |  Site Accessibility  |  Title IX
