I am glad I attended the Obama and Sotomayor discussion. Even though I had to sit on the floor because it was so crowded, it was worth it. The professors who spoke seemed very smart and I thought they were all interesting. They did a good job of answering questions as well. I got to see Prof. Fernandez speak outside of the classroom, and I was proud of her! I love Obama, so I really enjoyed lsitening to what the professors had to say about him and race in general. Because Baruch is such a diverse school, race is an important topic to discuss. I especially liked the personal stories that were told by the professors, because a lot of people can relate to them and benefit from discussing these issues. A lot of people left early because the question and answer session was taking too long, but I stayed until the end and was able to meet the professors. Hopefully I will be able to take some of their classes next year.
