What Current Board Members Say about the Alumni Board
“Working on the Alumni Board keeps me connected to a community committed to Macalester’s values.”
“Great foundational board experience for folks who wish to be part of a nonprofit board.”
“Learning leadership and communication skills. General board experience helps take the mystery out of being on a board, and hopefully could be a stepping stone for someone who is interested in volunteering through boards in other areas.”
“I love meeting new Macalester alumni that graduated before and after me. I realize that our experiences were very similar, and we have similar baselines because of our shared connection to Macalester. I would not have had the opportunity to get to know so many alumni outside the years that I was at Macalester if it wasn’t for the Alumni Board. Being part of this community of alumni is what I have valued most.”
