In celebration of Giving Day 2023, on February 23rd we are celebrating the many ways that we Show Our Love for Maclay and are thrilled to introduce this year’s Maclay Sweethearts. These wonderful, heartfelt, and longstanding connections are part of what makes Maclay’s campus and our time together on it so special. We have many members of our community who come to work each day with their own Maclay “Sweethearts” and hope you will enjoy hearing their stories about their favorite memories together on campus. #showyourloveformaclay

Jessica & Janine:
What do you love most about Maclay?
We love the sense of family and community. At Maclay, it's not unusual to see different family structures working together on campus whether that's siblings, couples, or in-laws (like us) -- and we love the feeling of being part of one extended family.
What is your favorite part about having your sweetheart on campus with you?
It's simply fun to see each other every day. Most days that's a quick catch up at morning carline and sometimes it's meetings, office drop-ins, and quick chats in the hallway. Our husbands work together too, which adds even more shared experience and community to our Tallahassee family.
What is your favorite memory with your sweetheart at Maclay?
Summertime is a revitalizing time for both of us. It's quieter on campus and we get to interact a lot through admissions events and planning for the new students.
Do you have a favorite event/tradition/holiday that you enjoy celebrating at Maclay with your sweetheart?
The auction is always a great time together, and we both love the laughs and fun of participating in the annual Holiday Video!
