Strategic Planning Champions

Key to the success of our efforts to produce the Strategic Plan were our volunteer Strategic Planning Champions, a dynamic group of 23 members from across our community. Each of our Champions brought passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to preparing Macalester students to go out into the world and make needed change happen.

The role of the Strategic Planning Champion was to engage all of the college’s constituents–including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents–in thinking about the future of the college. The Champions served as liaisons between their constituents and the college’s senior leadership. They were responsible for reading and learning, gathering input and feedback, organizing findings, identifying themes emerging from the process, meeting with Macalester’s senior leaders, and communicating updates back to their constituents.
