Macaulay Honors College
Victoria Porcell, CSI Macaulay student,
Psychology major/ Sociology minor
My experience at the Macaulay Honors College has been extremely fulfilling. Because of the intimate atmosphere, my accomplishments have not gone unnoticed, and that encourages me to do even better and strive to be my best. If it were not for the Macaulay Honors College, my college experience would have not been as wonderful or exciting.
The Macaulay Honors College offers many opportunities to its students. As the Past President of the Psychology Club at CSI and a psych major interested in working with children, I had the opportunity to intern with Staten Island Mental Health Inc. at their Summer Therapeutic Program. This internship gave me the chance to see behaviors and disorders in action within the population of my interest. If it weren't for my affiliation with the Macaulay Honors College, I do not think I would have had enough encouragement to pursue it. In addition, I will be studying abroad in London for free due to the generous study grant funding held for each student.
The best part of all my experiences at the Macaulay Honors College are the results I have seen in myself. After just two years I feel that I am a more well-rounded individual, one who is geared toward success.
