Info about the All-MHC Model City Council Sessions

  • Your final Macaulay common event will take place on Saturday 5/14/15 and Sunday 5/15/15 at the Macaulay Honors College (35 W 67th St, New York, NY 10023).  There will be one morning (10am-12:00pm) and one afternoon (1pm-3:00pm) session on each day.  You should have already signed up for a session and submitted your titles and abstracts.
  • Your participation is mandatory!  But more than that the event designed to be an experience which will allow you to present and enhance all that you have learned through the semester.
  • Your presentations should be 8- 10 minutes long (and no more!), and there will be 5 minutes for questions and discussion.  You should use your white papers as a basis for your presentation, but should not feel limited by the structure or content of your white papers.  Please do your best to share speaking roles among group members.
  • You should have some sort of of visual aid for your presentation (i.e. power point, prezi, etc.) All the rooms will have projectors, computers, and WiFi access.  You should be fine just bringing a flash drive of your presentation, but it is best to be prepared for any situation- as if you were presenting to an actual city council or at a professional conference.  It’s a good idea for each group to have a laptop, flash drive, and cloud accessible copy of your presentation, so all potential failures are accounted for.
  • Aaron is available by email (ackendall@gmail.com) to answer questions and work with you on presentations and projects.  If you have any other questions, please contact Maggie Dickinson, Senior Instructional Technology Fellow, at maggie.dickinson@gmail.com.
