Hello Macaulay Class of 2029! My name is Jaicee and I am running to represent Queens College in the Macaulay Scholars Council.

I’m sure we can all agree these past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions. I was pretty anxious on that first day of orientation, but after meeting brilliant students and staff and learning about the endless opportunities Macaulay offers, I left feeling inspired and motivated to contribute to this community.

Being part of the Macaulay cohort at Queens College is something I’m deeply grateful for, and I hope to give back by representing our campus on the Macaulay Scholar’s Council. While I’m naturally more introverted, I believe that it can be a valuable perspective in leadership, allowing me to fulfill the role with humility and thoughtfulness. I aim to create a welcoming space where every student feels comfortable sharing their ideas and confident that their concerns matter.

Last year, I participated in Townsend Harris High School’s Humanities Symposium at Queens College, where my group won the Best Research Award. Collaborating with a team, presenting in front of a packed auditorium, and succeeding together taught me lessons that I believe are important in a representative.

As representative I would like to advocate for events that uphold principals of both Macaulay and Queens College; embracing our diversity, curiosity, education, and servitude. In the end, the representative’s main job will be to represent you and your voice to make Macaulay the program and experience you want it to be. As representative I will make sure to be as receptive as I can be, making sure you can reach me through email (@jaicee.cofresi@macaulay.cuny.edu), Instagram (@jaicee.co), in person, or through Google Forms.
