Macaulay Honors College

“I am thrilled to be in my third year as a Macaulay student. The Honors College has provided a setting in which I have flourished both academically and personally; I feel proud to be a part of this CUNY tradition.”
--Emilie Wasserman, Hunter '09

Honors Advisors

In their advising roles, Honors Advisors work with University Scholars in countless ways and serve as their main point of contact between Macaulay and the individual colleges. They approve each University Scholar's course roster each semester, advise University Scholars on a choice of major, internships, study abroad, community service, and on graduate and professional school applications. Indeed, Honors Directors counsel and mentor University Scholars on the full range of issues relating to academic work and student life.
