About Us
Macalester’s Career Exploration offers programs, services and appointments in our office in Kagin Commons, in the Olin-Rice Hub, and across campus. Our advisors provide tailored career exploration and preparation for students of all majors – and for those exploring them all. Specialized divisional advisors can assist students in fine arts and humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, or social sciences. Meet our advisors and staff.
