I went to the Managing Impressions workshop so I could fulfill my Student Life workshop requirement because I had missed previous events and was told I could repeat a workshop in a different area.
Anyway, the goals of the workshop were to show us how everyday when we meet people we are making impressions and how we can give people a positive impression about ourselves. This workshop did not take me out of my comfort zone because there was minimal interaction between the students, even though we had to talk to someone we didn’t know. No one, however, got up to do that and we just talked with people we knew.
This workshop met my expectations because it was very informative and the person talking to us was very friendly. I would recommend this workshop to another student because the information they gave us was very useful.
From this workshop I learned that most of the students attending this workshop did not want to come to Baruch because it was not their first choice but had no other option to do so because they were either rejected from their first choice of school or their parents didn’t want them going elsewhere. It surprised me to see that only a handful of students, including myself, really wanted to go to Baruch.
You guys should have talked to someone new! Yeah, a lot of people in CUNY colleges says it isn’t their first choice.
