Student Organizations

There’s more to college than coursework

What you do outside the classroom is just as important as what you do in it. From sketch comedy to knitting to managing a real mutual fund, Macalester’s student organizations are as diverse as our student body. Go ahead, try out the Scrabble club or Mac Rocketry. It’s up to you.
