To the Macaulay Honors Class of 2026:
Think back to late August 2022. We entered college at a global turning point—a world finally reopening, yet facing the quiet challenges of a "new normal." From our first Orientation at John Jay to the shared discovery of BioBlitz and Macaulay Night at the Brooklyn Museum, we didn't just attend college; we rebuilt a community.
Our journey was defined by resilience. Now, as we prepare to graduate, it’s time to ensure that the students following in our footsteps have the same—or better—opportunities than we did. We were supported by the alumni who came before us; let’s continue that legacy.
The 2026 Senior Class Gift
The Senior Class Gift is your first step toward becoming a proud alum. It is a collective effort to promote a spirit of philanthropy and ensure a bright future for the next generation of Macaulay scholars.
The Goal: A suggested donation of $20.26 (to honor our graduation year) or any amount you choose.
The Impact: Our gift supports student clubs, and essential activities—programs that rely entirely on private philanthropy.
Why Give?
You’ll always carry the memories of the professors who challenged you and the lifelong friends you made here. By giving back, you aren’t just making a donation; you are paying it forward to the students who will soon stand where we once did in 2022.
