Student Well-being

Macaulay recognizes that the emotional well-being of young people is necessary for their peak performance, both as students and as leaders. For many young adults, college represents a uniquely challenging period in which questions of identity, relationships, past experiences, future goals come to the fore. Navigating these concerns while balancing the demands of Macaulay’s rigorous program can be psychologically taxing, and in turn may pose a hindrance to students’ success.

In 2016, Macaulay Honors College received a grant from the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust to build an innovative model of comprehensive mental health delivery for our students. With it we provide direct, professional mental health counseling services to support students in achieving their potential as scholars and change agents.

These services and programming, coupled with Macaulay’s personalized approach to students, build a solid foundation upon which our students can effect meaningful global, social, and individual change.  Mental health and wellness services are beneficial for a wide range of concerns facing students, from an interest in self-exploration to severe mental illness.

Student Support Team

The Student Support Team’s mission is to ensure the safety, wellbeing, and personal growth of all members of the Macaulay community.

Mental Health and Wellness Center

Macaulay Mental Health and Wellness Center offers the following free and confidential services.

Title IX Awareness

Macaulay Honors College seeks to create and maintain a safe environment in which all members of our campus community—students, faculty, and staff—can learn and work free from fear of sexual assault and other forms of violence.

Orientation Leader & First Year Peer Mentor

A Macaulay Peer Mentor leads their group through the first day of Orientation. Beyond that, their role continues to guide students through their first academic year, organizing meet-ups and continuing to foster community within their cluster.
