The Macaulay Scholars Council is an important and influential voice of the Macaulay student body at CUNY, helping to foster the essential dual identity every Macaulay student bears. The group is made up of representatives from each class year and campus of Macaulay, but all are welcome to participate and contribute. The Council’s mission is to promote an informed and involved Macaulay student body, building cross-campus community through sponsorship of various activities and providing counsel to the Macaulay administration.
Representatives of the Scholars Council will determine a new club’s eligibility based on their charter. The Scholars Council will also determine the allocation of funding a club will receive for the academic year. Elections for the Scholars Council are held in April (with first-year positions being elected the following fall). The executive board of the Scholars Council will be voted on at the first meeting of the year, by the newly elected representatives.
