Holiday time is a time of celebration and bonhomie, and one of the first groups to kick off the revelry was Executives On Campus (EOC), which welcomed over 170 mentors and mentees to its year-end cocktail party on Dec. 8, held in the Baruch Performing Arts Center (BPAC).

Among the mentors in attendance was Yoav M. Cohen (’83, MBA ’86). “I joined Baruch’s mentoring program a few months ago,” said Cohen, who has already been assigned a yearlong mentee and has also mentored a few other students at a morning advisement session. “It is very rewarding to work with bright, young students. I hope that my advice and encouragement will make a difference in their future career and help them focus and choose what’s right for them.” The Baruch double alumnus is the managing partner at NYC Advisors, LLC, and is one of 250 alumni and friends of the College active in EOC.
