\u201cI\u2019m in my third year as a volunteer director on the Alumni Board. It has given me the opportunity to witness firsthand how Macalester\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014Richard Cambridge \u201970<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, Reunion attendees represented eighteen countries\u2014and there are lots of ways to get involved in planning, wherever you live.

It\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014Max Wang \u201915<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mac In Your City<\/a> (Sept. 25\u201327) 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne 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\u2014with curiosity, empathy, and a real commitment to making things better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014Carola Stead de Fallon \u201994<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more and get started: alumnioffice@macalester.edu<\/a> or macalester.edu\/alumni\/alumniboard<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Macalester is intentionally building a global alumni community that connects you with a network of shared values, no matter where you are in the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1271,"featured_media":27987,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[389,269],"class_list":["post-27791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","tag-alumni-board","tag-reunion","mediatype-articles"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"fields":{"article_type":[8],"flickr_photoset_id":"","youtube_id":"","square_thumbnail":false,"press_photos":false,"story_title":"","story_caption":"","rotations":false,"maps":false,"marker_title":"","marker_text":"","geographic_location":false,"feature_embed":"","custom_link_url":"","news_icon_name":"","image_options":false,"main_feature_story":"","custom_image":false,"custom_feature_title":"","custom_feature_caption":"","custom_markup":"","custom_markup_link":"","custom_markup_title":"","custom_markup_caption":"","byline":"","post_thumbnail_style":"default","press_downloads":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27791"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31745,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27791\/revisions\/31745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Serve on your Reunion committee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
