I&#8217;m still interested in those issues. I love doing this work at my alma mater because I really believe that Macalester alumni are making the world a better place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite thing about Mac<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My favorite thing about Macalester students is their persistently optimistic critical thinking. Mac students always want things (their college, their government, their academic work) to be better and aren&#8217;t afraid to say so. But it&#8217;s through a lens of making things better for everyone. That was true when I was a student in the 1980s, it was true when I returned to Mac in 2001, and it&#8217;s true today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Love for the Twin Cities<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my favorite things is the Theater of Public Policy. This is a recurring event where a public official is interviewed about serious matters and then improv actors make fun of everything that was said (in a supportive, let&#8217;s poke fun at ourselves kind of way). And, it often occurs in a theater located in a bowling alley.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":1018,"template":"","class_list":["post-361","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/238"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14555,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/361\/revisions\/14555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
