[edit] The Institute for Global Citizenship
In 2006, the college established a new administrative body, the Institute for Global Citizenship, representing a trend towards better incorporating civic engagement and internationalism into the scholarly activities of the college or, according to some, Macalester's increasing focus on prestige and ability to churn out an elite class of 'world leaders.'

In late March of 2006, a team of evaluators from the HLC visited Macalester to determine its worthiness for re-accreditation. A Self-Study Committee was established to report on the progress Macalester demonstrated in the last 10 years. This report was presented to the Macalester Community during the Fall Semester, 2005.
