Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Resource Hub

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is more than a statement of what we value. It is who we are. We thrive as a community when we respect and honor our differences.

We value the unique experiences and perspectives of students and staff. A place where everyone belongs.

We have curated a list of resources to help you expand your knowledge, get engaged with the community, and support you as a member of our community.

UNDERSTANDING AND ADVOCACY

CUNY RESOURCES
  • CUNY Disability Services – a central page for resources, including the following:

CAMPUS DISABILITY SERVICES

We encourage every student to sign up with their campus Office of Disability Services to receive any needed accommodations. For reasons of privacy, faculty and staff are not required to ask you if you need accommodations, so it’s up to each student to seek services.

Welcome, immigrants, to CUNY, Macaulay, and NYC! Regardless of documentation status or country of origin, you are an essential part of our communities.

  • The Macaulay Immigrant Support Network (MISN) is more than just a club, it is a student-led initiative that aims to create a welcoming community for all Macaulay/CUNY students regardless of their status in this country. https://www.instagram.com/macaulayisn/
UNDERSTANDING AND ADVOCACY
  • CUNY Dominican Studies Institute (CUNY DSI) – CUNY DSI was founded in 1992 and housed at The City College of New York. CUNY DSI is the nation’s first university-based research institute devoted to the study of people of Dominican descent in the United States and other parts of the world.
  • CUNY Haitian Studies Institute – This is an academic unit aimed to encourage and support studies on Haiti and Haitians living abroad.

 

Are you the first in your family to go to college? CUNY provides a host of services to assist first-generation college students on their landmark journeys.

MACAULAY FIRST GENERATION INITIATIVE

We want to hear from all members of the Macaulay community who were the first in their family to attend college.

Share your story here.

FIRST GENERATION RESOURCES AND UNDERSTANDING
  • TRIO – A set of federally funded college opportunity programs that address academic challenges through individualized interventions that include counseling, tutoring, study skills workshops, advisement, career selection and assistance with transfers to four-year colleges, with a focus on first-generation students.
  • America Needs You – America Needs You fights for economic mobility for ambitious, first-generation college students. We do this by providing transformative mentorship and intensive career development.
  • Macaulay Crew – Assigned at Macaulay Orientation along with an upperclassman that serves as a Peer Mentor, your Macaulay Crew is there to be a source of fun, support, and opportunity to network outside of your campus.
  • Center for First-Generation Student Success – This page will help you to figure out your generational status and provide tips that will assist you as you apply to and attend college.
  • College Access: Research and Action (CARA) runs programs and produces research and policy work on the challenges and needs of first-generation college students, and trains peer leaders in programs such as ASAP and College Discovery to support their needs. CARA’s work confronts the gap in post-secondary guidance faced by first-generation college students in New York City.

 

We are committed to advancing gender equality on campus and have gathered a list of programs, services, and resources to promote awareness and activism around women’s and gender equity issues.

 

Macaulay and CUNY embrace and celebrate the religious diversity of our students.

 

We understand that multiple forms of inequality often compound themselves, creating additional obstacles for our community of students. We believe that all students deserve to feel safe and secure while pursuing their education.
