The MAX Center Mission Statement

The Macalester Academic Excellence (MAX) Center aims to support Macalester students in their efforts towards academic success and educational independence and to foster a community of intellectually-engaged, life-long learners. The MAX Center team offers personalized tutoring across the curriculum and across skill levels, provides support for those with disabilities, and works with professors to strengthen student learning.

In collaboration with the Department of Multicultural Life, we also coordinate the Emerging Scholars Program, an intentional learning community for multi-racial students and students of color. Ultimately, we hope to respond to the multiplicity of strengths and needs of students by creating an empowering, non-evaluative learning environment.

Services

The MAX Center focuses on a) the disciplines of math, science, and writing; b) the skills required for good time-management and study habits; c) building a culturally diverse learning community; and d) academic accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Individual and group assistance is available at no charge in mathematics, biology, chemistry, writing, study skills, and time management, among other areas.

We also help students with capstone papers, honors projects, personal statements and applications for scholarships, study abroad, graduate school, and professional school, and we help students prepare for graduate school examinations.
