On October 8th, I went to the first floor room 1-107 at 12:30 – 2:00PM to learn how to manage relationships. We discussed how to keep and manage relationships and I also made new acquaintances because we had to talk to other people in the room. At first I was quite shy because I had to break out of my comfort zone to talk to people I’ve never met before and learn more about them. The experience was great and besides learning how to keep personal relationships, we discussed professional relationships and where to make connections so that we can build out networks. I would definitely recommend this workshop to other people because it gives us information which are vital especially in the business field.

Last week I attended the Managing Relationships workshop. It was located in a very large room and there were many people. We learned about the different relationships one must maintain during college such as between family members, and friends. We also learned that it is very important to develop relationships in our college years, because those are the connections we will need to excel in the business world. We were asked to go around the room and introduce ourselves to five new people. This was a really entertaining exercise and I learned that one should be more eager to meet new people during college. I also learned from this workshop that I should get more involved in the college atmosphere such as being part of a club or a team. I look forward to meeting new people and making more friends during my college experience.

On October 8, 2009 I went to a personal enrichment workshop called “Managing Relationships.” The workshop took place from 12:45 to 2:00 p.m. in room 1-107 of the Vertical Campus. When I first got there it was crowded and filled with students. When the speaker got everyone’s attention, we discussed relationships with our family, friends, etc. At first a lot of students including myself found it boring, because most of the things that we talked about we had already known. However I still think it was a good and effective workshop because even though we talked about things we already knew, it was good to remind ourselves how to manage our time so we can manage our relationships. We also discussed that it is important to network and be socially active. As business students its good for us to make these connections since it will benefit us in our careers. After this workshop I realized that joining a club would be a good way to meet new people as well as network.

On Thursday, October 8th, I attended the managing relationship workshop from 12:45pm-2:00pm in the Multipurpose Room (1-107). In terms of students, the room was filled with fellow Baruch students who were either interested in the workshop or there for their workshop requirement needs. This workshop gave me a few pointers on how to adjust to the college life that everyone fears. As for the purpose of these workshops, this particular workshop took me out of my “comfort zone”. Having to approach random people isn’t that easy for me because I am a shy person. I hope to have conquered my fear of socializing with random people and anyone who also as a similar fear, I totally recommend this workshop.

The Club Fair was held in the gymnasium in the NVC and it held an astounding amount of clubs. I was amazed to find how diverse Baruch clubs were. I was uncomfortable in asking certain clubs about what they did but I was glad to ask some at the end of the fair. It was a good experience and I saw some clubs that did interest me. Some clubs gave me information I had not know before and made me interested in their club. There was a great number of people that attended this fair, and the sheer size was overwhelming. Clubs also had ways to attract others more than others. Some clubs offered food for signing up, others went around and demonstrated their talents. All the clubs were fun and it was a great experience.
