Volunteer Strategic Planning Champion Application
The role of the Strategic Planning Champion is to engage all of the college’s constituents – including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents – in thinking about the future of the college. The Champions will serve as liaisons between their constituents and the college’s senior leadership. This is a very important volunteer role and will take a deep commitment, requiring an average of two hours per week from November 2021 through April 2022. If any of the selected Champions are students who receive need-based financial aid, funds will be available to support participation as a work-study option.
Selection of students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni as Champions will be based on the following criteria:
- Deep passion for higher education and strong desire to see Mac realize more of its substantial potential
- Optimistic, curious, and eager to hear others’ perspectives
- View change as an opportunity for growth and improvement
- Believe that growth requires a willingness to challenge the status quo
- Able to engage with the Macalester community in reading, learning, thinking, and sharing ideas with courtesy and respect
- Available to participate in a day-long orientation for the volunteer Champions on Saturday, December 4
The deadline for submitting an application was October 25. Selections will be announced by November 12.
Thank you for your interest in being a Strategic Planning Champion!
