As a leader in a student organization, you are embarking on an experience that will shape the Macalester community and provide opportunities for meaningful engagement outside of the classroom. Your efforts to connect with fellow students over shared interests, identities, or experiences make up a part of the Macalester student experience and we look forward to supporting you along the way!
Get Involved in Student Organizations
Student organizations reflect the diverse interests of our students and range in focus from academic, recreational, performance, cultural, religious, service, and everything in between! Explore the 100+ student organizations available on campus—no matter your interest, there’s something for you! Browse the student organization directory. Macalester students can also log into our new Presence platform using your Mac credentials to engage with organizations and learn about student-run events!
Involvement Fair
The Second Friday of the Academic Year 100+ Student and Community Service Organizations engage with the campus community to kick start your engagement at Macalester. Come meet folks and get involved.
Mini Fairs
Low-key spaces to explore engagement opportunities by category (e.g., Performance, Political/Social Justice, Service) in an intimate setting. Drop in to learn more about student orgs or campus programs or, if you need guidance, chat with Office of Student Leadership & Engagement staff members about involvement options that might be a good fit for you! Mini-Fairs will be offered throughout the Fall semester.
