Admission Possible
Macalester College recently initiated a youth campus
visit redesign project with several offices at Macalester and Admission
Possible.
Through this enhanced relationship, we promote the enrollment of
promising Minnesota first-generation collegestudents, many of whom are students of
color, into Minnesota colleges and universities.

the Ground, Around
the Globe
