Summer Send-Off '25

Summer Send-Off Events

Welcome the Class of 2030 to Macalester
in a City near You! 


Summer Send-Off events are a wonderful opportunity for Macalester’s newest students, along with parents and families, to come together and meet others from their area who will be a part of their incoming class.

For alumni, current students and their families, we hope you will join us at Summer Send-Offs to celebrate and send off the incoming Class of 2030 to Macalester!

Hosted by current Macalester parents, students and alumni, these casual social events provide opportunities to meet, chat, and connect with Macalester’s newest students, local alumni, current students, and their families.

Whether you are new to the Macalester community, have been a member for a long time, or fall somewhere in the middle, we hope you will join us for this fun summer tradition!  You are welcome to register for any gathering that is convenient for you.
