Scholars will present their research via a public poster session at the Minnesota State Capitol building. Members of the public, policymakers, faculty and staff, students and others are invited to attend. Each year, Macalester selects two students represent the college and showcase their scholarly work. Generally, the application opens in November and presenters are selected before winter break.<\/p>\n\t\t\t    \t\t\t    \t\t\t        <div class=\"base-lockup__cta\">\n\t\t\t            <a class=\"base-cta-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mnprivatecolleges.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-01\/scholars-abstracts-2026.pdf\" target=\"_self\">2026 Scholars Booklet<\/a>\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n\t\t\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Research Work Summer Showcase In what is becoming an annual Fall tradition at Mac Fest, students gather to share their summer work with the Macalester community.
