The facility that Baruch offers really help students find places to volunteer, experiences to grow as people, and an ability to help change the world with even little steps. Community service project helped me seek guidance in what my project was through the very issues we learned in class- How to bring about most amount of utility in the world. It is through Baruch’s wonderful faculty, faculty who care about you and don’t just do “research”, that I ‘ve beeen able to think about community service in a different way. It is good to know how to write. It is good to know how to speak and persuade. It is good to know the ethicsbehind every decision you make. But it is even better to know how to make an acutal difference in what you do by taking action and just not worrying about the theory behind one’s logic. In terms of support centers, I used STARR Career development to help me look into internships and also look into how to present my self in a more well manmnered profession starting with the wonderful piece of paper called a resume.I also used other wonderful resources to help promote and burgeon my community center project by really thinking about what I can do just through the student clubs. When you take the escalators, up to where the express elevators are- you can see the vibrance of what Baruch really is- a melting pot within a melting pot, a city within a city, that’s filled with movements to aware people of earthquakes in the Philipenes, or AIDS awareness and malnutritiion in Africa.
I haven’t really joined a “Club”, but I’ve experimented. Alot. From the Model UN, to other assorted club activities I’ve been testing like A.J. Jacobs of what clubs there are and what there is that Baruch has to offer. Even though we haven’t particapted in the actual community service yet, I’m sure the experience that will be learned from the community service will be great. If not, another exmained light on the world that I live- The world I’ve never seen, in a strong Jewish community.
Salut.
