Mac in Your City

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

Remember all those discussions you had at Mac, all the new ideas, and passions you discovered? Enjoy that same energy again at Mac In Your City events all over the world. Meet new alumni and reconnect with those you know in your area. You will find there is a little bit of Mac wherever you are!

This year Mac In Your City events will be online and in person, spreading over an entire week. This will provide the unique opportunity to connect even more alumni together all around the globe.

Events have been organized around the world by alumni hosts, creating opportunities for us to come together again and engage in community and conversation. Show your Mac pride by wearing blue and orange, or use one of our Macalester Zoom backgrounds for online events.

Take photos or screenshots and share online using the hashtag #heymac.
