Jeff Conrod

B.A.: Macalester College

Jeff is the Department Coordinator for the Psychology Department at Macalester College. A Macalester alumnus, he transferred to the College in 1990 and graduated in 1992 with a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science. Jeff has been part of the Macalester community for more than three decades—as a student, alumnus, volunteer, and staff member. He served on the Macalester Alumni Board of Directors from 1993 to 1999, first as a student representative and later as an alumni representative. As a student, alumnus, volunteer, and employee, Jeff has enjoyed being part of the Macalester community for more than 35 years and helping make it an even better place for current and future students.

Jeff joined Macalester’s Information Technology Services (ITS) department in 2006 before moving to the Psychology Department in 2023. He enjoys finding ways to make the department welcoming and sustainable. Whether he’s organizing student events, supporting faculty and students, or solving the occasional technology challenge, Jeff enjoys helping people and creating a strong sense of community within the department.

Outside of work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife, Sarah Wovcha (’89), and their three children. Their youngest is taking a gap year before enrolling at Carleton College, their middle child is a junior at Carleton, and their oldest lives and works in Chicago. Jeff is a Minnesota Timberwolves fan and is often tackling a project at his 1915 St. Paul home, where he enjoys finding environmentally sustainable solutions.
