9 a.m. -5:30 p.m.
I spend my day connecting with alumni and thinking up ways to strengthen
those relationships through communications, large events, small
gatherings and volunteer opportunities. I listen a lot. I make new
friends and meet interesting people every day. I send and receive
a lot of e-mail and regular mail. I write. I recruit volunteers.
I go to alumni funerals and birthday parties. I travel to meet alumni,
and have lunch with them here in Minnesota (8,000 here!). I meet
with faculty about special projects and with students. I staff the
Alumni Board of Directors and the Parents Council and work with
chapter leaders around the country.
I can help you find other alumni, organize an event in your area,
answer questions about reunions, help you find a student intern
or a Macalester grad to hire, point you to interesting events on
campus, introduce you to current faculty, talk to your kids about
Macalester, change your class year affiliation, take you on a tour,
listen to your concerns, send you a bumpersticker, add you to the
e-mail newsletter list, find your sophmore roommate. I cannot change
your grade for that one class or send a transcript.
About Me

humanities, former dancer, 20 years in hospital administration,
happily married, and a parent of many happy and talented children
who are all art majors of some variation. I volunteer, I write and
I participate in the usual baby boomer activities of gardening,
yoga, bicycling, reading, cooking, and worrying about the world.
