Thank you for joining us for Mac Fest 2025! From the Bowman Hall dedication to the M Club Cookout to the Academic Summer Showcase and much more, it was a wonderful weekend to celebrate the academic year, connect with the Mac community, and enjoy time on campus (and welcome this year’s special guest, Hartnett the mini Highland Coo).
