Student Life

We believe in a rich Macaulay experience, inside and outside of the classroom. For Macaulay students, who spend most of their days on their home campus, student activities bolster the community and create lifelong bonds academically, socially and professionally.

Macaulay student-led activities include:

students government
gaming clubs
arts and social events
business, entrepeneurship and professional interests

Student Activities

Macaulay activities bring students together and strengthen our community. For students wishing to create their own Macaulay experience, we make it happen with resources and guidance that support student organizations.
