Professor Greg Kaster's love for learning and deep appreciation for the people around him left an indelible mark on Gustavus Adolphus College, creating a lasting legacy beyond the classroom. This past summer, on June 22, 2024, Greg unexpectedly passed away. In this episode, Carley, who worked closely with Greg on his podcast, interviewed professors who knew him well. She spoke with his colleagues in the History Department, Professors Kate Aguilar, Kate Keller, Glenn Kranking, Maddalena Marinari, and David Tobaru Obermiller as well as a few colleagues from across campus: Jennifer Ackil (Psychological Sciences), Jill Locke (Political Science), and Eric Vrooman (English). They all reflected on his passion for fostering a rich intellectual community. Greg's legacy was not just in his work but in how he engaged with, inspired, and learned from those around him. Whether collaborating on projects, mentoring students, or discussing history, he nurtured a spirit of curiosity and respect that made everyone feel valued. His dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and his genuine care for others will forever be remembered as a hallmark of his time at Gustavus.…
