\"Alumni<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are students for four years; you are alumni for the rest of your lives.\u201d –  President Suzanne Rivera <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College knows the pride that you feel in your Macalester experience. We value the Macalester community and all you do for our world. And we understand the need to stay connected with each other, and with the College. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alumni Council\u2019s purpose is to create, amplify, and celebrate alumni engagement. Alumni Council members help develop engagement opportunities and energize community building and connections.  The Macalester Alumni Board is a working board that is organized into Working Groups around specific issues that help advance the mission of the college. These groups set annual goals and plans that members work on throughout the year. The Alumni Council does not set policy or have fiduciary responsibilities; rather, the Alumni Council\u2019s role is to help connect alumni to the Macalester community, and to meaningful volunteer and engagement opportunities with the College. Alumni Council members’ active participation in the work throughout the year is critical to its success.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alumni Board\u2019s work is meaningful. Board members are energized by the impact they have on the College, continue to be inspired by the Macalester mission, and deepen their own connections through their work in community building.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
