Athletics Student Advisory Board

The mission of the student advisory board for athletics is to help the Department of Athletics and Recreation live out its core values of Community, Develop and Compete and in doing so, support the overall mission of Macalester College. The board will be tasked with providing guidance to the athletics director and the administration on issues of importance and will promote an understanding of intercollegiate athletics and recreation among others within the campus community. 

Although the board will not set or execute policy, they will serve in a role that will empower them to influence policy development for the department. The board will also serve in helping to build a stronger connection between varsity athletics, recreation, all students, and academic life.  

The student advisory board will meet with the Director of Athletics and other department staff bi-weekly to discuss current events in athletics, intramurals, club sports, recreation, and physical education.

Current Chair: Donnie Brooks (Director of Athletics)
