Through spring and fall, we will be exploring, co-creating, and piloting ideas for nurturing our shared community resilience.
Understand Phase (Spring 2024): Two representatives from each of our eight partner campuses will be invited into a leadership cohort of 16 students. With mentoring and support from Design for America, this cohort will receive specialized training in multi-stakeholder problem-solving and will lead this innovative initiative to build a shared understanding of the needs and hopes of the Macaulay student community.
This commitment takes place approximately March 8 – May 10 and requires 2-3 hours/week.
Members of the leadership cohort will receive a stipend of $600 for their service to Macaulay.
Throughout February, Design for America will facilitate workshops open to all Macaulay community members where you learn more about the opportunity and participate in collaborative design activities.
Sign up here to attend a session and learn more about how to apply. (We highly recommend attending a workshop to get a feel for what the project will be like!) No commitment is necessary and you can join the Community Resiliency Lab as a participant even if the leadership role won’t be a fit for your interest or schedule.
Connect with other engaged Macaulay students, voice your concerns and hopes, and get a taste of collaborative problem-solving across multiple perspectives. All are welcome!
