I think of the most important core values Baruch students have is education. Baruch is one of the top CUNY schools in the city and we are all here to learn and gain knowledge needed to move forward in our careers. If education was not of importance and on the to do list for a Baruch student then that student would not be here. Before Baruch we all envisioned a better future with a great career and financial wealth. As in the article Building Your Company’s Vision, it was stated that the envisioned future is what we aspire to become, to achieve, to create. (pg 66) We all have a vision but we know in order to achieve our vision in the future we must use the education given at Baruch in the present to do just that.
I think commitment and success are two more core values Baruch students have to achieve their goals. Baruch students are competitive and that’s because we all strive for success. Many of us want to become somebodies whether it be a CEO, engineer, doctor, lawyer etc. We all want to succeed and in order to achieve that success we have must have commitment. Baruch students are very commitmented and determined, staying up all night writing research papers or making the library our second home as we study for finals. Baruch students are very much focused on achieving our envisioned future. The article mentioned that to create an effective envisioned future it requires a certain level of unreasonable confidence and commitment (pg75) and I believe Baruch students display both and are well on their way.
I also believe dedication and teamwork are also important to a Baruch student. Team work comes into play when professors give us group project after group project after group project Working in groups are not the easiest thing to do but here at Baruch we know that these team projects are created to help us gain experience when dealing with a team which is something we will probably be doing in the future.
Going to Baruch and graduating is a BHAG for us, we have a goal and we are trying extremely hard to make it to that finish line and proudly say we have completed this goal.
I agree with you that education is the most important core value. Like you say, we won’t gather at Baruch if there is not for education. Education paves our way to success.
Teamwork is really tough. Inside of a team, we have many different dynamic. In order to display our dynamic fully, we have to balance our strength. We must to cooperate. More important, we learn from each other, we help each other.
