Macaulay Honors College
Support Student Success
November 27, 2023
Since the pandemic, Macaulay is serving more low-income students than ever before. Nationally these are the students most at risk of not completing their degree.
At Macaulay we level the graduation gap by providing the personalized support, services, and special opportunities to ensure all of our students, regardless of their income, can and will graduate on time.
We need your support to continue this record of success.
This giving season, join us in providing the support students need to succeed with a gift of any amount.
I spent my second summer interning at a law firm (Duane Morris). That experience was invaluable to me because it is how I knew I wanted to pursue law as a career. I want to help people and fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. I want to get people rights who are denied them.” –Ahmed Farooq '19 (Baruch)
“This portion of my scholarship taught me a lot about the different fields and responsibilities required to create an exhibition, and greatly helped me with learning to effectively communicate with a team...” –Angela Goh '23 (Brooklyn)
Being required to speak in Mandarin for the entirety of the program was a major highlight and challenged my language abilities in a multitude of ways. Talking to my roommates about anything and everything in Mandarin and having a professor nearby who could help when we didn’t know a word or an appropriate metaphor was monumental in improving my language skills. –Jack Graziano '23 (Hunter)
"The opportunities fund really made a difference in my career, since working at Freedom Agenda was pivotal in helping me get my current job at the Vera Institute of Justice, where I work on criminal justice reform in NY state! I hope other students have the same opportunity!" –Chantal Polinsky '22 (Hunter)
“I am extremely thankful for my experience interning in Dr. Visconti’s medical practice because it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the emotions, excitement, and challenges physicians experience day to day.” –Alexandra “Ally” Kern '23 (Hunter)
"I was able to fully immerse myself in an experience that sharpened my understanding of my professional goals. As a Queens native, living in rubber steel-toed boots and overalls for a month turned out to be the most fulfilling undertaking of my life. My internship showed me not only the joys of finding where I feel at home, but also that I am called to find a career in a non-profit animal welfare setting." –Emily Scarpati '23 (Queens)
