Section LC11

This workshop was more of a question and answer session. we went around the room to all different tables representing parts of the school such as the registrars office, sports and financial aid. although this was not really helpfull it did show that the faculty and school really do care about the students and take initiative in making sure the students are well informed. i learned about the various sports teams, financial aid and even was introduced to the writing center wich was something that could become very helpfull. overall it was nothing amazing but it could have been usefull to people who are clueless to where everything is.

Myself and Jonathan had went to the to arts section of Baruch college to watch a short screening of the playwright A Dolls House. at first i had expected to sleep through it but surprisingly i was awake through out the event and remained attentive. i had never seen my self enjoying a play before but after this experience i would actually consider it. the actors were very good and even though it was in old English it was very easy to understand. the most important thing i took out of this was the experience of going to a play even thought it was only 20 minutes long. the actors were very entertaining and one of them actually cried which surprised me. it helped me appreciate the job of actors and helped me find the beauty of another form of art that i was never exposed to.

I attended a work shop on the fourth of November on the proper interviewing techniques and public manner necessary and expected at a job interview. I was took back by this work shop because of the amount of things that I did not know about. I had always thought myself to be a good interviewer until i attended this work shop. the workshop opened up the small details that make the biggest differences such as eye contact and a hand shake. She even stressed the importance of internships and preparing ones resume as early as possible. Basically this workshop was very helpful and helped me get a clearer view on the track and the methods to become a successful student and employee.

This was the very first seminar workshop that was held at Baruch this year, I believe.  However, I really didn’t get much information from this event at all.  When I got there, room was packed and full of students trying to get their signatures.  It was pretty hard to move anywhere for quite a while.  I don’t think they gave out much information, I believed that it seemed like an event for freshmen to get to know each other and talk.  After dropping off a card that entered us into a ‘raffle’, we then got our signatures after standing in a huge crowd of people.

The toy/food drive was not very productive.   Jonathan and I were supposed to collect food and toys to anybody that donated them in the time frame that we sat on the main floor, which was about thirty minutes.  However, not a single person passed by to drop off something.  They only came up to us by accident.  However, during this time, we were able to observe the people passing by, and noticed that Baruch was a more diverse school than we originally thought it to be.  Overall, it wasn’t a very productive experience, but it was still nice to try out something like this.

This was an academic enrichment workshop held early in the semester. It was the first one I went to, held in the Academic Advisement Center. There was a large number of people there, so it wasn’t quite possible to ask any personal questions relating to school. There wasn’t really anything learned from this workshop, due to large amount of freshmen crowding in one place. The workshop itself was short, where as afterwards everyone crowded all around the fifth floor to get their signatures.
