Say hello to our new co-chair!

Hi colleagues,

We’d like to introduce the new co-chair of the Advising Alliance, Emilee Ali! Emelie is currently a Program Coordinator at the Honors Program.

Emelie Ali (pronounced EM – uh – l ee) is a graduate from Manhattanville College with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Creative Writing. During her time as an undergraduate, Emelie was the student representative of Manhattanville’s Castle Scholar’s Honors Program.  It was her duty to attend to students’ questions and plan academic events. She believes her experience working with an academic administration, as well as working with students, gives her the knowledge and understanding to support students’ needs. Her goal as program coordinator is to ensure students have access to the tools they need to succeed within the honors program while having fun.  Emelie believes finding the time to enjoy oneself is an integral part of the college experience. On her free time, Emelie attempts to write poetry, binge watch TV shows, and take long naps with her small dog.

Please join us in welcoming Emeile to the Advising Alliance Executive Committee!

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,

Welcome to the Baruch College Advising Alliance website!

The Advising Alliance is a collaborative group of higher education professionals at Baruch College comprised of representatives from departments that provide direct service to our students. It is a mutual network of support for staff who work to help our students succeed academically, personally and professionally.

We would like this site to be an active space for us to start and continue conversations that arise out of our monthly meetings, as well as a space to document and archive the institutional history of the Advising Alliance.
