Alumni worldwide are connecting on 10-11-12

Macalester's 3rd annual evening of worldwide alumni events is scheduled for October 11, 2012. We're calling it MAC in the City (Macalester Alumni Connect in the City). It is an opportunity for alumni, whether new to a region or lifelong residents, to meet each other, reflect upon their shared experiences cultivated by their education at Macalester, and share insights about the resources of their city.
