The McDonnell Academy Scholar Engagement Committee (SEC) was formed in September 2017 with the mission of connecting Scholars. Its 12 members are current Scholars who volunteer in subcommittees which lead initiatives that strengthen the bonds amongst all McDonnell Scholars (alumni and current Scholars), and help current Scholars better connect to the St. Louis region.

Currently, there are 5 subcommittees: Academics/Research, Alumni & Mentorship, Community Engagement, Core Activities, and Social Activities. As the inaugurating committee, this cohort’s goal for Academic Year 2017-18 is to
- develop a working structure including procedures and directories for future committees and
- pilot events that better foster connections in the Academy.
We invite all of you to share your ideas with us and get involved to create a better community. Please feel free to contact any of us with any questions or comments.
