Reunion 2024

Two alumni smile and hug each other in a group of other alumni

Reunion 2024 took place at Macalester from June 6-9. Read more and view photos from the weekend here.

This June, Macalester welcomed alumni and friends back to campus for Reunion 2024. This year’s schedule included four days of events, on the Great Lawn, and around campus with tours, lectures, special exhibits, class-specific programs, dance parties, dinners, and a special emphasis on celebrating Macalester’s sesquicentennial. One alum summed it up perfectly: “This weekend reminded me how we are all part of Macalester whether it has been five, thirty, or fifty years. We live each day in the moment but I see the glory of time here.”
