Historical Note

The Lealtad-Suzuki Center is named after Catharine Deaver Lealtad (Class of 1915), the first African American graduate of Macalester College and a talented doctor; and Esther Torii Suzuki (Class of 1946), a survivor of the Japanese internment camps during WWII and a six-year member of the Macalester College Alumni Board. Located on the first floor of Kagin Commons, the Lealtad-Suzuki Center was formerly known as the Department of Multicultural Life.

Coordinates and synchronizes intentional multicultural programming and services throughout campus.

Provides multicultural education through mediums such as personal consultation, literature, video, audio, and artwork.
