Fun Macaulay events... and work

Today I met with my team mates on my CHC poster team at the lovely Macaulay building to work on our project (since it has to be printed tomorrow). We're looking at green housing in the Bronx, specifically how to turn this:

into nice sustainable affordable homes. Anyhow, we met at the Mac center unaware that today was Snapshot day for the class of 2013 - the building was teeming with Freshmen! Our group was relegated to an albeit very comfy corner behind the screening room, where we commandeered the floor. It's always nice to get to use the Mac center because - even when crowded, which is almost never is - it's a very nice space. And being there today made me think about other fun and sometimes rather tedious things Macaulay has done for us/made us do.

Snapshot day involved us taking pictures, the going to see them and our classmates' at the Mac center and making videos from the pictures (a bit odd but whatever). Then this spring our CHC class all took a field trip to Ellis Island:

with tiny Professor Friendlander in the middle. She was a very adventurous professor.

Art Night last winter - a general art exhibition of Macaulay students' work, put together by our fellow students, was also lots of fun. This year, all the Hunter CHC sections went on a field trip to Black Rock Forest, a nature preserve which Hunter actually owns a share of. It was cold but the view off the mountain was great, and it was overall really enjoyable.

And then there's the poster presentations we have to do... my team presents next Sunday. That's one of those not-so-fun Macaulay things. Wish us luck!
