LSC Programs
BIPOC Coalition
The BIPOC Student Coalition is a cohort of student representatives from Macalester’s Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian/Pacific Islander cultural student organizations. Established in the summer of 2021, the goal of the BIPOC Student Coalition is to recognize and celebrate the history and impact of cultural student organizations at Macalester College and to ensure the longevity of those organizations.
Critical Dialogue Series
The LSC’s Critical Dialogue Series aims to help the Macalester community build the skills needed to engage with complicated topics and form a deeper understanding of foundational critical dialogue principles.
First Generation Programs
The LSC hosts bi-weekly gatherings that focus on supporting first generation college students at Macalester. Events often include workshops on topics like wellness, financial literacy, study skills, and navigating Macalester and are followed by opportunities for group dialogue and reflection.
Identity Collectives
The Identity Collectives provide a student-centered space to build community and engage in intra-group dialogue. Collectives are offered to recognize the multiple and intersecting identities we all carry and the importance of a supportive community as we explore our intersecting identities. Trained students facilitate each collective group. Intergenerational engagement with faculty and/or staff who share salient identities is encouraged.
Qmmunity Connections
Qmmunity Connections is a monthly event that serves as a space to educate, connect, and discuss important LGBTQIA2S+ experiences and histories by bringing in community members and resources to build community support. Stay tuned for future event details!
