Health & Wellness
Students at Macalester interact with health and wellness through many different pathways. Maybe you're following a pre-med track and are interested in spending time in clinics and hospitals, learning how doctors and nurses do their jobs. Maybe you’re interested in public health and advocacy and want to be involved in health education or connecting people to the resources they need. Maybe you plan to study psychology or neuroscience, and want to work with children or adults with developmental disabilities. Connect to get a sense of the broad range of health-related work happening in the Twin Cities, and to help you start thinking about ways you might want to get involved.
