Located on the St. Paul campus it provides students, faculty, staff, and surrounding communities with opportunities to learn about traditional Asmat culture, contemporary challenges for Asmat artists, and ongoing opportunities Asmat artists have for presenting their work. The University of St. Thomas Campus Collection comprises over 1,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, stained glass, and textiles. Many of these works are on display in public areas of the libraries, offices, classrooms, dormitories, seminary buildings, and the student center; and in various outdoor settings. Several areas, such as the Sculpture Garden of the O'Shaughnessy-Owens Science complex, the Gainey Center in Owatonna, and the Bernardi Campus in Rome, have noteworthy ensembles. Many works of art are used directly for teaching purposes in the Art History classroom, as well as specialized settings such as the Luann Dummer Center for Women. Others play a direct role in worship and meditation.

Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used   As gifts and grants are received, individual funds are established in our general ledger system to process the grant revenue and expense. A financial manager is assigned to review and oversee the activity of the fund. In addition, other administrative departments also provide services to process, report, and review the grant information.In the case of private grants, the University follows a formalized grant application process to verify that the University understands the grant obligation and purpose before the application is sent to the grantor organization.Many private and government grants are received for student financial aid. Our Enrollment Services department follows a detailed policy and procedures manual that describes how each scholarship is awarded, including selection criteria. These procedures follow guidelines set by the University's senior leadership.Student financial aid is processed under individual grant funds within our accounting system (as described above), and the student financial aid in also processed under each individual student account. This approach to record financial aid by fund and by student account, provides a detailed record of how the funds are spent according to donor and governmental requirements. The Financial Aid office monitors student account activity to verify the student's enrollment and use of the funds according to the grant requirements.Grants are provided to established organizations that are educational and/or charitable and the University is in contact with those organizations to ensure the grant funds are expended appropriately.

An interested person recuses him or herself from the decision-making process, including removing him or herself from any discussions or meetings regarding the potential arrangement.
