What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
Having an independent history course where I got to discuss ideas one on one with a full professor. SWAP was also very important to me.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
I really loved dorm life. I have great memories of times spent with roommates and dorm-mates.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
I continue to see many Mac classmates today and find them as delightful today as they were 50 years ago. It also blows my mind how accomplished they are now.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
When ever I find myself approaching a knee jerk reaction to an issue or event I force myself to think back to Mac. We learned to think through issues and look at all sides before making up our minds and stating our opinion. I think I do that.Barbouche, Terry Walker
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
My trip to Paris during Interim 1967. It was the beginning of a love of France which continues to today. I majored in French and spent a year in France after graduation. I so value the education we received. The French literature, Dr Hill’s philosophy classes, a foray into calculus,…all the tools to a wonderful life.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
My Dad died suddenly in December 1966. I was studying for finals when I received the call. Everyone at Mac was so supportive. I went home and then on to Paris for Interim. Finals were pushed out to February. Don’t know how I would have managed without the support of the Mac community.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
Simply my Macalester education has allowed me to live the life I’ve wanted to live.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
Pc controller key mapper. I’ve tried to emulate the Macalester environment- striving, understated, moving things forward, empathetic.Beccone, Jean Butcher
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
As a transfer student, I was looking for more in a college than my original choice offered. Macalester provided what I was looking for: professors that challenged us to think critically and exposed us to new ideas, an active and engaged student body, lifelong friendships, and exposure to new experiences. Without a doubt, my two trips to France in 1967 were most influential. Both of these experiences opened my eyes to a world I never imagined growing up in a small town in southern Minnesota.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
Recently I found a picture that had been taken of several women ironing outside Bigelow Hall. It happened to be part of a fundraiser for an orphanage in Vietnam. An article in the May 14, 1967 issue of the Mac Weekly announced this event as: “Tuesday-Thursday: Bigelow Hall’s Women’s Association of Slaves will be available to do ironing, mending, and similar tasks for the fellows.” (!!) The announcement alone says volumes about where we were as a society in 1967.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
“Why aren’t you working here?” asked Mac’s then-president John B. Davis when I met him at a reception during our 10th class reunion and told him I was a librarian. His question proved to be prescient when I was offered a job as a reference librarian 10 years later as the new library, now the DeWitt Wallace Library, opened. Over 20 years working in the library offered me a chance to stay connected with the college and to work with new generations of extraordinary Macalester students.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
I would like to think they have shown up in my various roles as wife, parent, grandparent, educator, and volunteer in various community organizations.Beccone, Lew
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
While it’s hard to pick just one, certainly the travel & work experience during the summer of 1967 on SWAP was a major growth episode for me. It helped to focus and coalesce many years of education and experience into a useful framework for understanding and engaging the world. Also significant was the chance to interact with caring faculty, talented classmates, and to do honors work in my major. Finally, helping to grow the soccer program into a varsity sport provided its own set of rewards.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
In our senior year, my roommate Ward Benshoof & I earned our meals by serving as Sunday cooks in Wally Hall (the old dining hall). We prepared lunch and dinner and, most of the time stayed true to the SAGA recipes provided. Occasionally we dabbled in improvements. We did bring tears to the eyes of our SAGA manager the time we added some kick to the fairly bland chili recipe provided. Seriously, tears to his eyes. The well-received tasty results were just more kicky than he expected.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
My family, work, social, and volunteer life have all greatly benefited from the questioning and lifelong learning skills I encountered and, with the help of top notch faculty and classmates, began to hone in my years at Mac.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
I guess most obviously in the learning and questioning framework I’ve used ever since – at work, with family & friends, as a volunteer in a variety of organizations. Perhaps telling here is the fact that both of our sons chose to challenge themselves at small liberal arts colleges in pursuit of similar educational experiences.Campbell, Mary Spaeth
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
I really can’t credit one experience at Mac. SWAP, Ambassadors for Friendship, interning in Washington, D.C., the Canadian-American Conference, Drama Choros, and studying under Prof. Hildegard Binder Johnson were all lasting and formative experiences.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
My father died during the first month of my Freshman year. The Dean of Women helped me pack and drove me to the airport for my flight home. Upon my return, my Bigelow Hall dorm mates had decorated my room and had little gifts for me. The College arranged for an interim scholarship until our family finances were determined. In short, the Macalester “family” embraced me and let me know this was not just my college, this was my new home away from home.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
Mac was nurturing and intellectually provoking. People were kind and inclusive. There was a global perspective. Since Mac, I have tried to be a life-long learner, give back in time and personal resources to causes and individuals, and to look beyond the comfort zone of my home.Coyer, Shahnaz Yusefzadeh
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
The faculty, the students and staff and all the people who created trusting relationships and the environment we lived in and studied. Dorm life was wonderful with the friendship of people like Mary R Westra, Jodie Erickson and Carol Schifelbein Erickson who looked after me in those first
months. But, mostly it had to be the International Center, Harry Morgan, Jim Toscano and all the people there who gave a chance to cook food, gather
and share and talk.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
Almost every event that first year at Mac was significant and memorable for me. Perhaps some of the speakers at Convocation and Chapel were more impressive in the social and political context and left a bigger impact. I was moved by the challenging speeches of William Sloane Coffin Jr. and Eugene McCarthy on social responsibility and questioning power. Then also was the summer trip with Ambassadors for Friendship; visiting Arkansas in racial tension, Texas and the little tangle with the traffic cop, or camping with the grizzly bears in Yellowstone. I do remember so well a remark at a picnic in Little Rock, when I heard a woman tell me how they accept the blacks but they would never want to be addressed by their first name from a black person; stunned is how I felt.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
Certainly being active in social and community activities. I have enjoyed organizing girls soccer in Minneapolis where I coached and helped incorporated an extensive city league. Teaching was fun but organizing for a professional labor union at the University was really the best challenge. My time at the Minneapolis Neighborhood Organization was also important and productive with the community. The Neighborhood Revitalization Program offered funds to neighborhoods to invest in local programs for various programs. I have also been active in city politics working with the Mayor and city council members.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
Activism and doing the right thing. We moved to Pontiac, MI in ’73 when all the big GM folks vacated the neighborhoods in fear of busing. I really believe that our time in the city during racial tensions and changes in the urban evolution has greatly influenced mine and my children’s awareness and activism with the constant challenge of racial issues in the country. Mac somehow always created the challenge to stand up for something, take and stance and try to make a difference. I see it in so many of the graduates who have come after us.Early, Evelyn A.
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
Activism and internationalism. SPAN was critical. My November 1967 journal is typical: “Today we picketed Mondale for avoiding a strong stand on Vietnam. Later, we heard a speech on Soviet hegemony which Yugoslavian journalist Branco (from MAC’s World Press Institute) critiqued. Standing in Viet Nam peace vigils lets me watch others flying across campus preparing for their ‘world life.’ What part of our future lives will social concerns claim? If you don’t live your concerns, they vanish.”
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
My Wally Hall triple catapulted me from a preacher’s kid, teetotaller, Girl Scout life into one of guerilla theater, Petula Clark, 3 a.m. existential exegesis, and Estee Lauder. My roomie Jean wowed me with thespian skills and MAC Phase Three literary magazine “commentaries on lived lives.” She later taught and conducted research on atypical child development at Michigan and the U of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ. Today Jean and I still revisit topics of yore, plus ones of which we never dreamed.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
Dr. White, puffing on his pipe, mesmerized us with philosophy and inspired me to write on the epistemology of a love-based knowledge. Mary, Min, Renee and I designed a philosophy of social science course with Dr. Weiss, attuning me forever to methodology. Dr. Armajani’s support of my SPAN Israel research and graduate school in Beirut, plus TAing for Dr. McCurdy’s interim student subcultures course applying ethnographic techniques to Macalester, launched my Middle East anthropology career.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
Macalester didn’t exactly instill new values, but it did provide an environment in which values my family had planted could grow. I was grateful for MAC’s focus on off-campus issues since I was nerdy and might have kept my nose in a book. Friends marched in Selma my freshman year, but I was too green politically to consider it. Myriad candlelight vigils later, I joined MACites marching in downtown St. Paul in April 1968 after Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Foor, Barbara Caryl Smith
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
Hanai clothing: how to work with clothing manufacturers. Going to Switzerland with SWAP.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
The bottom floor of Turck was all freshman the year I came and we GFTers formed a strong bound. I remember our reenactment of The Unsinkable Molly Brown and several pranks that rooms pulled on each other. One time my window was completely covered in a man-made snow hill.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
Just the mention of Mac has opened doors for me-both socially and in my career.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
The ethics of hard work and effort of excelling at whatever you do but also the ability to form friendships and have fun.Harper, Mary Gebhard
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
My experience on SWAP in Switzerland with a farm family truly built for me life experiences. I was alone with a family who spoke little English so had to use my own resources to get through each day. Traveling for a month through Europe with Mac friends was a highlight of my college years. We learned how to be more independent. I am sure my parents thought Mac was following me around,.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
My internship for Congressman Karth from St. Paul in Washington DC was very memorable. Cathy Campbell, Mary Spaeth, Marlene Johnson and I stayed at Cathy Campbell’s house in DC while her parents were in the Bahamas. We even threw a party for Dr. Baird and all the interns while there. We were able to work all morning, roam the halls underground and then play tourist during the afternoons. We were able to attend the State of the Union with President Johnson and sightsee extensively in DC.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
At Mac we were encouraged to think for ourselves and gain self-confidence in who we were. I choose a teaching career in Special Education as I knew I wanted to help those in need. I was also able to leave my family and friends in MN and travel west for an adventure in the Bay Area where I met my husband and raised my family. I still return each year to MN because of my strong roots and connections to my fellow students. Mac helped instill that in me.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
There was a strong encouragement at Mac to be involved with state, national and worldviews. It was a politically raw time in the world and it seemed natural to become involved. Protests were common whether against Vietnam or for civil rights. I try today to stay in touch with what is happening locally and internationally and to express an opinion. I was in the Women’s March in 2017. Were my views formed at Mac? Probably. It was such a formative time in our lives. How lucky we were!!Hauser, Lesley Hendrickson
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
I loved the Mac social life, the new friends, the bridge games in the lounge, the meetings with that special someone in the stacks. But the most influential experiences were the thought-provoking, challenging and meaningful courses taught by engaging professors. My life-long habits of mind were shaped by classes like Man’s Search for Meaning, Modern Isms, State and Local Government, Human Geography. These classroom experiences were enhanced by the opportunity to travel abroad and volunteer.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
As a geography major, I had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Hildegard Binder-Johnson, a legend in her own lifetime. I worked as one of her TAs but one of my tasks was a bit unusual – I bought yards and yards of jungle print material and sewed curtains for her office in Carnegie. I believe they remained in place of many years.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
After leaving Mac, my husband and I ended up moving to live in Panama (initially because Gary was drafted and sent to teach golf on military courses in the former Canal Zone) We lived and raised our family there for 20 years. Because of our experience at Mac, we were able to embrace the experience of living abroad. We both worked as educators and communicated the power of learning to our own children and the students were served.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
I left Macalester committed to service and as a life-long learner. My roles as mother, raising a family living abroad for 20 years, and educator, helping to shape students of the next generation, have all been shaped by my Mac experience. I have no doubt that these values will continue to inform my life as I pursue the next chapter of my life.Olson, Lynn
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
So many! I will eliminate snow days at the DH and mention the Washington, DC Interim term. I fell in love with DC then and have lived here most my life since

There was a strong encouragement at Mac to be involved with state, national and worldviews. It was a politically raw time in the world and it seemed natural to become involved. Protests were common whether against Vietnam or for civil rights. I try today to stay in touch with what is happening locally and internationally and to express an opinion. I was in the Women’s March in 2017. Were my views formed at Mac? Probably. It was such a formative time in our lives. How lucky we were!!Hauser, Lesley Hendrickson
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
I loved the Mac social life, the new friends, the bridge games in the lounge, the meetings with that special someone in the stacks. But the most influential experiences were the thought-provoking, challenging and meaningful courses taught by engaging professors. My life-long habits of mind were shaped by classes like Man’s Search for Meaning, Modern Isms, State and Local Government, Human Geography. These classroom experiences were enhanced by the opportunity to travel abroad and volunteer.
Share a story or moment from your time at Mac:
As a geography major, I had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Hildegard Binder-Johnson, a legend in her own lifetime. I worked as one of her TAs but one of my tasks was a bit unusual – I bought yards and yards of jungle print material and sewed curtains for her office in Carnegie. I believe they remained in place of many years.
How has your Macalester experience been reflected in your life?
After leaving Mac, my husband and I ended up moving to live in Panama (initially because Gary was drafted and sent to teach golf on military courses in the former Canal Zone) We lived and raised our family there for 20 years. Because of our experience at Mac, we were able to embrace the experience of living abroad. We both worked as educators and communicated the power of learning to our own children and the students were served.
How have the values instilled in you at Macalester show up throughout your life?
I left Macalester committed to service and as a life-long learner. My roles as mother, raising a family living abroad for 20 years, and educator, helping to shape students of the next generation, have all been shaped by my Mac experience. I have no doubt that these values will continue to inform my life as I pursue the next chapter of my life.Olson, Lynn
What was the most influential experience you had at Mac?
So many! I will eliminate snow days at the DH and mention the Washington, DC Interim term. I fell in love with DC then and have lived here most my life since
