Hi Macaulay students! My name is Celine Glennon, and I am a rising senior at Hunter College.

MY EXPERIENCE:

For the past three years, I have served as a Student Lounge Volunteer (SLV), helping to maintain the Reading Room and organizing weekly social events (from arts & crafts to board game nights) that bring students together. I also served as the Student Life Intern for one semester, where I oversaw 60+ SLV events and played a key role in building community amongst 30+ SLVs. Additionally, I’ve been a Macaulay Peer Mentor for two years and had the honor of serving as President this past academic year, welcoming in the newest members of our Macaulay community. These roles have strengthened my leadership skills and deepened my passion for working with others.

WHY I’M RUNNING FOR SCHOLAR’S COUNCIL:

I care deeply about the Macaulay community; It has given me so much and has truly shaped my college experience. I would describe myself as an open, genuine, and compassionate leader. I am committed to making sure that students feel heard, unconditionally supported, and connected to one another.

Hi Hunter 2026! I’m Selina Zheng, your current representative and I would love to continue serving you. After 3 years on council, I can confidently describe which accomplishments I’ve contributed to in order to make your experience at Macaulay better.

As your representative and vice president of student life, I:
Worked with other Hunter representatives to plan more accessible cohort events in the lounge instead of central campus
Helped plan events including the New Student Mixer, Halloween Party and Holiday Party, etc, through organizing budgets, decorations, activities, club co-sponsors, corporate sponsors, food, advertising, etc.
Fulfilled other responsibilities such as updating my cohort on events and important information from Macaulay Central as well as advocating for students in meetings with scholars council and with administration

I hope to be re-elected so I can continue to bring the Hunter 2026 cohort and larger Macaulay community together.

Hey everyone! My name is George, and I am a sophomore at Hunter College.

For the past 2 years, I have served as my cohort’s representative on MSC, advocating for student needs both in monthly council meetings and on campus through various communication channels. Most recently, I had the honor of serving as the VP of Finance this past year, where I chaired committee meetings to decide how best to fairly and equitably allocate club funds to make the amazing student activities you all hold come to life.

From planning events like the Macaulay Olympics to facilitating an open and kind discussion forum with our Instagram group, I remain committed to fostering a community built on collaboration and not on competition – a core value of mine that I am confident will allow all of us to be the best we can.

I am proud and deeply appreciative of all the new friends I have made these past few years. Representative or not, I look forward to maintaining these relationships as not only your peer but as your friend through and through. Inclusion has always been crucial in my mission to foster a community both in Macaulay and at Hunter, a value I will always uphold as your representative. While I can inundate you with the age-old phrase “your voice matters,” I do not want or need to tell you that – each and every one of you has given me a platform to advocate on your behalf and will always be amazing individuals in my heart. I am confident that my experiences and qualities will speak more to my candidacy than these words, and if I still haven’t gotten the chance to meet you, hi!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to have your vote once again for the upcoming 2025-’26 academic year. It has been a pleasure representing an exceptional group of students who accomplish great things each day, inspiring me to do the same for them.

VOTE for GEORGE from Wednesday, May 7th to Tuesday, May 13th, and let’s do this together!

Hey Macaulay 🦁🧡! I’m Jirel Gonzalez, your local 4.0 research driven enthusiast, biology major, an OG vanilla froyo enthusiast (with sprinkles of course), and I’m looking to be to your next MHC sophomore rep! 🫡

I’m sure you’re wondering what I can bring to the table 🥸. Well, I was a secretary for a program a year ago, where I would manage over 100 student’s email announcements meticulously, sending weekly recaps with opportunities I found to fit their interests and goals. I also have a better sense than ever of what being part of the Macaulay community is like, getting the opportunity to make connections with so many of you these past two semesters ☺️!

My main goal is to advocate for you guys in a way that I know how; attending budget meetings and curating events for your interests! I plan on making Macaulay at Hunter a place you can relax during Finals week with food and comfort, or even spend sleepless nights with accompanied by a movie and a stuffed friend! 🧸🤎. We’re already doing and sharing so many amazing things, and I plan on continuing them with the same enthusiasm!

With Jirel we will do so well 💪💪🧡

Hey, class of 2028! I’m Julianna Spoto and I’m running to represent you as
Macaulay Hunter rep! I am hoping to make your time at Macaulay the most rewarding it
can be for you, whether it’s by having more social events or pre-professional
opportunities. I am majoring in Political Science and Psychology and minoring in Legal
Studies on the pre-law track; am an active member of Macaulay Theater Club,
Macaulay Pre-Law Club, and am on the executive board for Macaulay Marauders. At
Hunter, I am a part of Mock Trial Society and even competed in an American Mock Trial
Association (AMTA) regional tournament, representing Hunter as the first CUNY to
compete in an AMTA competition. While this past year at Macaulay Hunter has given
me so many opportunities and allowed me to further develop skills like public speaking
and time management, I also have experience from high school where I held numerous
positions on student government including student body president. Feel free to ask me
any questions via Instagram or you can probably find me around the Macaulay Hunter
lounge! @Vote.spoto28
