Purpose

The Mansergh-Stuessy Fund for College Innovation is a 1-year "seed" grant to encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking at select liberal arts colleges in Minnesota. This fund was established in August 2011 to honor the 50th wedding anniversary of Gerald and Nancy Stuessy Mansergh.

The Fund was organized to develop and pilot new activities that enhance college campus programs, including academic, student life, faculty/staff, and alumni initiatives.

The Fund is intended to benefit colleges that are institutional members of the Minnesota Private College Council from which Mansergh-Stuessy descendents have received a baccalaureate degree:  Gustavus Adolphus College, Hamline University, and Macalester College, to date.
