That\u2019s a wrap on Mac Fest 2026! Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating some of our Mac traditions and special events this year. In addition to our usual fun, we unveiled the newest addition to the Macalester family: Coo, <\/em>brought to life by figurative sculptor Andy Scott O.B.E. and gifted to the college by The Justin and Jansel Kelly Family Foundation in honor of Macalester faculty. We hope to see you next year.<\/p>\n\n\n
