Building and Caring for Community Seminar

The intent of Building and Caring for Community is to provide Macalester faculty and staff a supportive and creative space to 1) develop the full potential of your Indigenous-focused scholarship and teaching, and; 2) nurture your and the college’s relationships with broader Indigenous communities in and outside of Macalester. Building and Caring for Community will create an inclusive and sustainable community while working towards our professional development and our institutional goals.
