Hubs
A central resource hub for faculty across the consortium who are teaching Macaulay courses.
The Food Atlas of New York is a joint project of multiple sections of CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College Seminar 2, People of New York. We use the history and culture of food in New York to understand the diversity, complexity, and impact of the many peoples who make New York City their home. Through stories of iconic foods and ingredients, histories of the evolution of food options in different neighborhoods, and entries on food-related businesses and their owners, the Food Atlas illuminates the historical and sociological stories behind New York’s food landscape.
This is a central resource and gallery for our annual STEAM Festival, attended by first year and sophomore students every December.
All about the Seminar 2 and 4 Common event, held annually in May. 2026 dates: May 2-6.
The Macaulay Story Lab supports students in becoming powerful and effective communicators. We offer a wide range of opportunities for students to develop storytelling skills, craft their personal stories, and share them in various forums to better reach wider audiences and help them increase their own visibility.
