Safety Procedures

The recent events at Northern Illinois University shook all of us as we were once again confronted with deadly violence at an educational institution. It reminds us of the need to be prepared as no one is immune.

The college has guidelines and protocols for responding to emergencies. Policies and emergency procedures can be found on the Safety and Security web page. Please contact Jim Hoppe, Dean of Students, or Terry Gorman, Safety and Security, with questions. More Information »

At Macalester we consider parents and families of our students to be vital partners in the educational process.

Present and future Mac parents can find useful resources on the web page. If your son or daughter is considering Mac for undergraduate studies, you can learn more about the College by browsing admissions information and the academic department pages. Parents of current students can read the online Parents' Handbook, learn about family weekend activities, and easily link to the events calendar or the resource department pages.

It is important to Mac to keep student's families informed of what is going on on-campus. One avenue the College does this is through our parent newsletter, Parent Link. For the first time, we are offering this newsletter online. Please click here to see the latest edition.
