Why did you choose to attend Macalester?

I chose to attend Macalester because my tour guide during my first visit was an honors student and a varsity athlete, and it was Mac that had encouraged him to do both. I wanted to be on a campus that gave its students the opportunity to excel in all areas of life.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?

At Macalester I have learned how to become more self-sufficient and independent, but I have also come to understand the importance of being part of a family of people.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?

My years as a student-athlete have taught me the importance of time management.  Student-athletes at Mac are some of the most organized and driven people I have ever met, and that is largely due to the extra effort needed to give your best in both the classroom and in competition.
