Preparing students for engaged citizenship and effective civic leadership is a critical part of Macalester's mission. Many Macalester faculty and staff are actively involved in public scholarship, civic learning and public work. Our students are passionate about issues and want to be positive change agents in the world. The "esprit de corps" of the campus is engagement -- of ideas and action towards a more just and responsible world. This is evidenced in part by the fact that 80% of our students participate in some form of community-based work before they graduate. We work in partnership with community organizations to provide learning experiences that will also enrich the community. This web site or our staff can provide you with information on the numerous ways to connect with the dynamic urban environment of the Twin Cities and beyond.
“In your lives now and into the future, you will always  have opportunities to contribute to fundamental change to improve the human condition. It is a battle that must be joined at all levels, and relentlessly pursued. ...it must be a determination to do whatever one is able in the here-and-now, in our immediate lives, in our immediate circle.”
Tonderai Chikuhwa ’96, Senior Program Officer, United Nations Office for Children and Armed Conflict
