The Center for Academic Advisement hosted an important workshop for freshmen on Thursday, September 17th from 12:30PM- 2:00PM in the Newman Vertical Campus on the 5th Floor. I was among the many freshmen who decided to attend this useful workshop that gave us an opportunity to meet our peers and have our questions answered by our academic advisors. Since this was my first workshop at Baruch College, I was anxious to see what they offered students. In this workshop, I was greeted by a friendly staff that offered refreshments and a folder that contained various documents listing faculty and contact information of the Center for Academic Advisement, majors and minors at Baruch College, core curriculum requirements and a chart that helps convert your grade point average. I gained a lot of knowledge from attending this workshop and it answered numerous questions I had in mind. The members at the Center for Academic Advisement made students feel comfortable and assured that they will offer as much help and support to the students at Baruch. The advisors informed students that there will be future advisement sessions for freshmen. I will recommend it to my classmates and friends at Baruch because this workshop provided us with vital information. This workshop met all my expectations and I look forward to meeting with my advisors again.
