Community Engagement Center
Welcome Class of 2027!
We look forward to meeting you this fall, including during Mac’s new student orientation, This Matters at Mac! Are you passionate about a particular area of social justice work, such as environmental justice, human rights, or youth and tutoring? Do you know you want to be involved in the larger Twin Cities community, but aren’t sure where to start? We’re here to help! Our student Community Engagement Organizers facilitate opportunities to engage for all students around various themes. Stop by the third floor of Markim Hall to learn more, and be sure to follow us on social media for updates and to learn more!
