Madalyn McCall of Highland Illinois graduates from Maryville College

Madalyn McCall of Highland, Illinois, was one of more than 200 seniors who took part in the Maryville College Commencement ceremony, held on Saturday, May 9. The institution is located in Maryville, Tennessee, 20 minutes south of Knoxville.

McCall graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and now joins the ranks of thousands of MC alumni around the world who have gone on to “do good on the largest possible scale.”

That enduring call to action — woven into the fabric of the College since its founding in 1819 by the Rev. Isaac Anderson — remains central to both the Maryville College mission and the liberal arts education each student receives. For generations, Scots have carried that spirit into careers and communities spanning industry, business, ministry, education, the arts and public service, and the Class of 2026 is poised to do the same.
