Advice

There are numerous ways new media can be used to improve Baruch College. One major problem with Baruch is that because it's a commuter school, there is a lack of school culture and community. Despite it's progress in using new media, I still think there is a huge gap between student organizations/students who are active on campus and regular students. One thing the college can do is create a more unified platform where students can talk about campus life in an organized and appropriate way. This can help those looking for help or looking to reach out to other on campus can do so quickly and efficiently. Another thing the college can do is create a private YouTube account where professors can post lectures for students unable to attend the class or to give future students an idea of which professors they like or don't like based on their teaching style. Finally, professors should create class wiki pages where students can compile their notes for the class and more efficiently prepare for quizes/exams.

  1. I agree with your comment about creating a platform for clubs and organizations. As a previous executive board member of an organization on campus, I found it hard to effectively communicate my organization's events or get in contact with other organizations online. The club and organization website was not fully functional and contained outdated information. It also was not well known. I think by developing a modern platform for sharing updates, Baruch can help nurture its student life.
