Macward Bound Leaders 2012

Why I am a MB leader:
Because I am really excited to be able to work with the incoming freshman class: getting a chance to know them, make friends with them in this specific setting and share advice and help them transition in this formative period of their lives.
Advice to a first-year student:
When you begin at Mac, it's almost better to not know what you want to do. That way, you don't narrow yourself down too much and get a taste of all the awesome classes that this place has to offer.
Favorite thing about Mac:
I love how easy it is to meet new, awesome people. Sure, after a while you will have your little friend group, but by participating in a new org or joining a new club sport you will very quickly get to know new people and definitely make a ton of lasting friendships.
Involvements with Mac/twin cities:
I am a member of Macalester First Aid, Macelester College Emergency Medical Services, Macalester Men's Rugby, and the Macalester College Cross Country Ski Club.
