What is the M Club? The M Club is a volunteer Macalester alumni organization that exists to provide support for the inter-collegiate athletic program at Macalester College. The M Club's membership includes all alumni who have earned a varsity letter in a sport, varsity coaches, and those who were denied the opportunity to participate in a varsity sport due to the absence of Title IX. The M Club is designed to provide support for current student athletes and foster loyalty among its alumni. Its activities include:
*Hosting receptions and social events to engage alumni with the athletic department *Conducting programs to award and recognize both current and alumni athletes *Teaching the athletic community about giving to the Annual Fund to further the goals of the athletic programs at Macalester
