Baruch College Advising Alliance

December 2018 Meeting

Colleagues,

This is a friendly reminder that our last meeting of the semester is next week, Tuesday, December 18th, 11am in the Starr Conference Room (NVC 2-190).


Also, our agenda will be as follows:

  • Introductions and Announcements
  • AA Updates!
  • Potluck!
  • Debrief of fall 2018 and planning for spring 2019
  • Have fun!

Finally, we have some exciting updates about the AA:

  • Our Website is growing! Please check it out (and notice we’ve added the site to our banner below. Spread the word!).
  • Speaking of the Website, please join your co-chairs in welcoming two members who have graciously agreed to head our new Website Communications Committee—Marny Smith from MSPIA and Sandra Kupprat from Starr! They will be assisting us in the upkeep and general maintenance of the site.
  • And now that we’re evolving, you’ll notice this email is coming from a newly created email: AdvisingAlliance@baruch.cuny.edu. Please use this email to communicate with us and to request announcements to go out on the list, which you’ll notice is an official “members listserv” now.

Ok, that’s it for updates. See you all on Tuesday!


On behalf of the Advising Alliance Co-Chairs,

 Peter P. Dachille
