International Student Resources
• Are there support services available at Macalester for international students?
Yes. One of the main funcitons of the International Center (IC) is to assist international students with their individual needs. International students are also assigned a Student Mentor for the first year to help them adjust to their new environment. If you wish, you can also participate in the Macalester Host Family Program which links international students with an American family.
• What other support is available?
Many of the offices at Macalester are designed to help students. The Community Service Office coordinates volunteer opportunities, the Career Development Center helps students create resumes and find jobs, the Internship Office offers internship opportunities, and the Max Center has student tutors who can help with homework and papers. Every student has a faculty advisor, a professor who guides you in choosing courses and other areas of academic life.
