SPEAK!
A Series of Conscious Conversations

The mission of SPEAK! is to engage the Macalester community in a series of intimate, on-going conversations with dynamic, influential speakers reflecting on currently relevant transnational issues. SPEAK! is designed to be a student-friendly space that allows audience members to participate, engage, and access knowledge. What makes SPEAK! a different type of lecture series is that guests will speak with students rather than to students.
