Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I chose Macalester because of the opportunities to explore the liberal arts in a community of students from many backgrounds and nationalities. I was also intrigued to attend Mac because of its great location. The St. Paul and Minneapolis area offer many opportunities that I believe will be useful in my intended areas of study.

It has encouraged me to continually stretch my limits as a student, an athlete, and a person. The rigorous environment of Macalester offers a myriad of realms to explore. However, some of the most important lessons I ever experienced while at Mac have come while overcoming the challenges of being a busy student-athlete.

The ability to juggle the rigors of a tough athletic schedule and challenging academic schedule will prepare me to take on a busy work and life routine after I graduate. Furthermore, having the experience working extensively in teams both on the field and in the classroom will prepare me for group-oriented work in the future.
