September 10, 2020 – yMac Gathering – hosted by the yMac committee on Remo, and featuring special guest President Suzanne Rivera. An evening of networking and conversation based on topics of interest submitted by young alumni, including Organizing for the Election, Reading for Fun, Mental Health and Self Care, and Friendships During Quarantine.

Serving on the yMac committee is a great way to build and strengthen skills in outreach, community building and organizing, event planning and management, social media and communications, and general leadership skills. Committee members form meaningful connections with alumni across all class years with whom they may not otherwise meet, and gain high-level access to staff at the college.

The committee is now accepting applications for new members, who will be selected in May 2021. Apply online here to be considered: engage.macalester.edu/register/yMacApp
