Welcome New Students!
You are invited to join our engaged community of learners through our common reading program, Mac Reads. Reading and sharing ideas with others is central to the college learning experience. Through the MacReads program we introduce you to this process and some of our shared values: critical engagement with ideas, dialogue with members of the Macalester community, internationalism, multiculturalism, and reflection on what it means to be an active, responsible global citizen.
What should I expect?
A copy of the book, along with information about how it will be used, will be mailed in mid-June to the current address you have given to Admissions. During the summer you’ll have an opportunity to share your reactions to the novel and to gain additional information about the book at our Mac Reads website.
