This past academic year\u2014the fifth and final year of our 2020\u20132025 Strategic Plan\u2014proved how powerful that belief can be.<\/p><p>This year\u2019s accomplishments are more than milestones; they mark the successful completion of a five-year vision that not only met but exceeded its ambitions. By centering curiosity, collaboration, and courage, we showed how a public honors college can lead change rather than merely adapt to it.<\/p><p>Together we created a learning environment where ideas flow across disciplines, where wellness stands alongside scholarship, and where our students\u2019 brilliance is matched only by their capacity to shape the world beyond our doors. Partnerships across CUNY campuses, with New York City, and through a dynamic alumni network amplified our impact and set a high bar for what comes next.<\/p><p>Because of these shared achievements, Macaulay is poised to launch its 2025\u20132030 Strategic Plan from a position of extraordinary strength. Ahead lie deeper experiential learning, expanded graduate pathways, and new tools to measure and magnify our impact.<\/p><p>The best of Macaulay is not behind us\u2014it\u2019s unfolding right now, built on the remarkable progress of the 2020\u20132025 plan.<\/p><p>Thank you for bringing your talent, creativity, and heart to this collective effort.<\/p><p>Dara N.

Strategic Plan with purpose and momentum, Macaulay deepened its commitment to developing the whole student\u2014academically, professionally, and personally. The college secured a\u00a0$175,000 grant\u00a0to launch the\u00a0Collaborative Academic Recovery Program (CARP), an integrated peer-coaching and data-driven support model debuting in Fall 2025. Career development flourished with\u00a0279 documented paid internships, expanded alumni mentoring, and partnerships with Cornell Tech, Hospital for Special Surgery, and Google.<\/p><p>Students built cross-campus bonds and civic awareness through the\u00a0first Alternative Spring Break, and wellness programming reached over\u00a01,000 participants\u00a0with more than 60 events and enhanced counseling services. Constructive Dialogue workshops and a new service-tracking system advanced belonging and community engagement. Together, these achievements strengthen well-being, experiential learning, and career readiness, laying durable foundations for student success well beyond this five-year

Faculty completed the first full assessment of all Core Seminars using AAC&amp;U\u2019s VALUE rubrics, while innovative pilots like the Food Atlas of New York and a Google experiential practicum showcased digital, city-focused scholarship. Graduate opportunities grew through new 4+1 agreements with the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and the Newmark School of Journalism, alongside strong outcomes in existing MPH and other accelerated pathways.<\/p><p>The Friedman Transfer Scholars and Gray STEM Scholars programs both exceeded retention and performance benchmarks. Experiential learning flourished in MTA and citywide design challenges and in the Cornell Tech CUNY Honors Connect program, where students tackled AI, robotics, and healthcare projects. Culminating with the Macaulay Health Summit on Research and Innovation, these achievements collectively strengthen curriculum, deepen faculty collaboration, and prepare graduates to make meaningful contributions well beyond the classroom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3701f1e5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3701f1e5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;pyramids&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M761.9,44.1L643.1,27.2L333.8,98L0,3.8V0l1000,0v3.9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4af21fe2\" data-id=\"4af21fe2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19947860 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19947860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Key Achievements<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-727415af elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"727415af\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bdeae25\" data-id=\"4bdeae25\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-253e82d4 elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"253e82d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Core Seminar Assessment:<\/strong> All four Core Seminars assessed using AAC&amp;U VALUE rubrics, with 150+ student artifacts reviewed by faculty committees.<\/li><li><strong>Learning Pilots:<\/strong> Launched Seminar 2 cluster producing the Food Atlas of NYC (130+ entries) and piloted a Google experiential practicum.<\/li><li><strong>Graduate Pathways:<\/strong> Established new 4+1 agreements with the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and the Newmark School of Journalism.<\/li><li><strong>STEM &amp;

The program reduces financial barriers through tuition savings, shortens time-to-degree, and provides direct pipelines into high-demand fields. Outcomes are strong: MPH graduates report median wages of $79K one year post-graduation, rising to nearly $100K within five years, with 95\u201397% employed or continuing education. Looking ahead, Macaulay will expand pathways into data science, finance, translational medicine, and public administration while appointing a Director of Graduate Partnerships to scale advising and coordination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4fe69648 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4fe69648\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f6a76d4\" data-id=\"1f6a76d4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa431f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa431f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PATHWAYS TO EXCELLENCE<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-21371aae elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-top elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"21371aae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7631f334\" data-id=\"7631f334\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f1ef9de elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5f1ef9de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1007\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2024\/12\/mhc_programs_friedman_transparent.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1294\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2024\/12\/mhc_programs_friedman_transparent.png 1007w, https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2024\/12\/mhc_programs_friedman_transparent-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2024\/12\/mhc_programs_friedman_transparent-768x287.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7787315c elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7787315c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Launched with a $2.7M Friedman family gift, this program creates a seamless pathway from CUNY community colleges into Macaulay.

Student life flourished through redesigned Macaulay Olympics, Story Slam, and Weeks of Welcome, alongside peer-led wellness programming that built cross-campus bonds. The Restorative Practice Program trained new mediators, hosted 32 dialogue circles, and convened its first college-wide forum, becoming a model for conflict resolution and trust-building.<\/p><p>Meeting essential needs, the new Mountain Lion Food Pantry now offers free, stigma-free food and supplies, while Macaulay students helped lead New York City\u2019s record-setting City Nature Challenge, blending science and civic engagement. A two-year study produced concrete recommendations to inclusion and belonging across the community. Together, these initiatives not only capped the 2020\u20132025 Strategic Plan but also ensure that Macaulay\u2019s culture of connection and care will thrive well into the

used surveys, focus groups, and pilot programs to deepen understanding of inclusion and belonging for students, faculty, and staff. Student well-being was tracked through the emerging Healthy Minds Survey aimed at improving fall-to-fall retention rates, while new entry and exit surveys reached students at risk of isolation. For employees, Perceived Stress Scale and retreat-based surveys showed significant stress reductions. A two-year student experience study combined surveys and focus groups to surface both affirmations and obstacles, producing actionable recommendations on scheduling, food access, and bias response. These data-driven insights are now guiding strategies to build an even more inclusive and resilient Macaulay community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5156020d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5156020d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16249139\" data-id=\"16249139\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23b8c914 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"23b8c914\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mountain Lion Food Pantry<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-29954cd8 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29954cd8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d84c38\" data-id=\"9d84c38\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b571268 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7b571268\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_animation_tablet&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2025\/09\/MountainLion-Food-Pantry-1-1024x682.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1501\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2025\/09\/MountainLion-Food-Pantry-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2025\/09\/MountainLion-Food-Pantry-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2025\/09\/MountainLion-Food-Pantry-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/community.macaulay.cuny.edu\/report\/files\/2025\/09\/MountainLion-Food-Pantry-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51de85a elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51de85a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Opened in January 2025, the Mountain Lion Food Pantry has become an essential student resource.

By end of spring, the college completed a near-final draft of the 2025\u20132030 Strategic Plan through an inclusive, campus-wide process and relaunched assessment efforts across 14 units. Financial stewardship remained strong, with clean audits, investment gains, and rental revenues exceeding projections. More than $13 million in capital and IT upgrades improved safety, accessibility, and digital capacity, while participation in CUNY\u2019s new ERP design and staff training in AI and digital fluency prepared Macaulay for the future.<\/p><p>Alumni outcomes came into sharper focus, with over half of graduates now matched to national labor data showing earnings $27,000 above peers. Fundraising milestones\u2014from a record-setting $500,000 gala to new grants and board leadership\u2014further expanded resources. Together these achievements capped the 2020\u20132025 Strategic Plan by creating a more resilient, data-informed, and financially robust institution ready to launch its next five-year
