Macalester’s Alumni Board creates, amplifies, and celebrates alumni engagement. Members help develop engagement opportunities and energize community building and connections—everything from Reunion to Career Clubs to Mac in Your City. This year, one of the Alumni Board’s areas of focus is amplifying pathways for international engagement. Wherever you are in the world, there are ways to connect with the Mac network—here are just a few examples.

Apply to be on the Alumni Board

Every year, the Alumni Board includes members who live outside the United States. Applications for terms beginning in 2026 open in December.

“I’m in my third year as a volunteer director on the Alumni Board. It has given me the opportunity to witness firsthand how Macalester’s leadership and its alumni community continue to design and implement policies and programs that keep alive the Macalester ethos and moral compass that inspired a vanguard EEO program and anti-Vietnam war protests almost six decades ago.”

—Richard Cambridge ’70

Serve on your Reunion committee

This year, Reunion attendees represented eighteen countries—and there are lots of ways to get involved in planning, wherever you live. Want to join next year’s committees for milestone class years ending in -1 or -6? Learn more: macalester.edu/reunion

Check out the International Connections program

The Alumni Board’s International Connections initiative helps current students create connections with alumni during study away—an example of the Mac network in action.

“This spring, I met with alumni living in China working in different fields from ESG to education to investment, sharing the same Mac values. It’s soothing to know that Mac remains a bastion for true liberal arts education during these troubled times. My advice to alumni living abroad is to check your emails! From Mac Wire to Mac in Your City, there are tons of opportunities to stay connected.”

—Max Wang ’15

Build a Mac community wherever you are

Mac In Your City (Sept. 25–27) features alumni gatherings around the world. Any time of year, you can try hosting your own gathering, and we can help with logistics and communication. You can also connect with the WhatsApp alumni group in your city, or even start your own.

“One of the most powerful things about Mac is how intentional it is about building a global community. And today, more than ever, that matters. What Mac did, and continues to do, is bring people from all walks of life together in one space. Today we may be far apart geographically, but we share a common experience and outlook that started at Macalester. That shared foundation shows up in how we engage with the world—with curiosity, empathy, and a real commitment to making things better.”

—Carola Stead de Fallon ’94
