Your path to college will be memorable in many ways.

Reaching out with words
In this time when a handshake, an embrace, or even a shared physical space is restricted, I’m grateful to hear from both new and old friends, family, and the Macalester community. We can still share this experience with grace and compassion. For students having to make choices amid unforeseen change, I share these thoughts, and extend my sincere welcome.
