Core values are those values we hold which form the foundation on which we perform work and conduct ourselves. From my three years at Baruch, I have learned that this is a college filled with diverse and different people who have their own set of beliefs and values, but if you dig deeper, you can see they aren’t much different than ourselves. I see a lot of students with wisdom, professionalism, pursuit of a goal, leadership, creativity and teamwork.  From these values they and I hold, I have made friendships and worked with very smart students which made me wanna strive to work harder. I have noticed how independent, social and open minded Baruch students are, which differs greatly from a college I went to my freshman year. What stands out is Baruch students willingness for hard-work and willingness to help and serve other students when help is in need. These are all traits that create a strong and wholesome environment, where diversity and holding basic values can create harmony and accomplishments.

In the article “Building Your Company’s Vision”, it explains that “core values are essential and enduring tenets of an organization.” It also points out that core values are naturally in us and doesn’t require us to validate it in order to prove to the world that we contain it.  Collins adds that there is “no universally right set of core values that applies to a company or organization…the key is not what core values an organization has, but that it has any core values at all.” This is all based on a person’s attempt to stay true to themselves and not change for anyone. If this is applied, you will get a better sense of who you are and what values are truly important to you. For students at Baruch, I can say we all share at least one of those important values, which in all creates such a great college environment and socially creates valuable friendships.
