Welcome back! 

We're happy to have all of you part of our student leadership group this year! About every two weeks, we'll be sending important updates just for Club Leaders; keep on the look out. You can see any you've missed here. Just a reminder, if you have general questions about Club Macaulay, Student Activities policies or clubs in general you can reach everyone on the Student Development team at student.clubs@mhc.cuny.edu

We're also excited to see you all on Thursday at Community Resources Day (11pm-2pm at John Jay)! Just a reminder, the virtual fair will be open from 8/19 to 8/30 - be sure to contact any interested students after that date that may be on your contacts. You can also list your general interest meetings in the fair happening during that time, too.

Club Council Meeting

The first mandatory Club Council meeting of the year will be a joint meeting with the Scholars Council, this upcoming Tuesday, 8/27/24 from 3pm-5pm in the Lecture Hall at Macaulaly (35 W 67th Street).

Each club is required to send at least 1 representative. We have a lot of important announcements, a special guest, information about the Macaulay Building, and what to expect for the upcoming year! If you have any questions, concerns, or topics to discuss please share with the VP of Campus Affairs, Shivani.Ramsaran@macaulay.cuny.edu.

Who is a leader? (Spoilers:It's you)

Being a good leader takes work and effort, but it is attainable for everyone. You are already a leader. Thank you for taking on these roles and responsibilities!

As leaders in our community, you may not often know or realize your impact, but take a look at how you are a leader, here in now, in and outside your roles, and find out about everyday leadership here:
