On October 8, 2009, I attended a personal enrichment workshop on managing relationships in room 1-107 at the Vertical Campus from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. This workshop is held with the purpose to assist college freshmen to transit to their college lives easier within a shorter period of time. During the workshop, the presenter talked about handling different relationships with family, friends and partners. One of the main issues transiting from high school to college is the lack of time in college compared to having a lot of free time in high school. Therefore, one important task to master is time management. The speaker also informed us about the importance of building strong relationships with upperclassmen and professors that are related to our future career goal. Since we will need these relationships later on in life when we are seeking for jobs, knowing someone that works in the same field increases the chance of us getting a job. We will also need our professors for recommendations when we want to pursue our graduate degrees. I also found out for the first time that LinkedIn is a website that can help me network and build strong and close relationships with professionals of my interested career field. Overall, I find this workshop very informative and helpful for my future four years in Baruch and I think all freshmen should attend this workshop to find out more about building strong relationships with others.
