On Feb. 22 to 24, Macalester will host the inaugural “Macalester Connect+ Leadership Conference.” Inspired in part by the United World College’s 50th anniversary, a board of five students and a larger organizing team banded together in March 2012 to start planning a conference of their own. The two-day conference will feature workshops and guest speakers oriented around the theme of leadership.

The conference originally grew out of a conversation about how best to honor the connection between Macalester and the United World Colleges (UWC).
