Me and a few friends went to the Mishkin Gallery for the Arts at Baruch workshop. I was shocked to see such a small gallery. It was rather quick tour and the photographs were very unique. I saw photographs from Tom Baril, Joel Meyerowitz, Eliot Porter and Jill Mathis. Each focused on different things. For example some focused on landscapes and nature while others were abstract light and blends mixed in. I had to attend it again with the english teacher the next day and it was good to see the photographs again.

I went to the career fair on September 25 so see what companies were at Baruch and ask them a few questions. There certainly was a lot of companies but they were all looking for juniors and seniors. There was only one company that offered interviews to all the students at Baruch but they didn’t offer pay so no one was on their line. The representatives from each company was very cordial and answered all of my questions regarding their company and their respective fields. They told me that if I was interested in their company I should come back every career fair to talk to them and that they will remember you. Showing interest means a lot to me therefore when you are a junior or senior your chances of being accepted is much higher. Workshop was just as I expected where there was a lot of companies but mostly everyone was on the same lines. Since Baruch is a business school everyone was on the GE Capital, Credit Suisse , Wells Fargo , TD bank, FDIC and the IRS. It was a decent experience not that special but I thought it was a good start for me as a freshman to see what the school was able to offer me.

I went to the club fair to see what clubs there were at Baruch. I saw the apple club, Wall Street Club, Finance And economics Society, Golden Key, Sigma Alpha Delta and the Archery Club. I joined the ones that I mentioned and I hope it will turn out pretty fun. I participated in this event because I am a freshman and I need to see what this school is able to offer me at a college level. It turned out as I expected. I didn’t expect that much and I didn’t expect anything less. There was a few clubs that sounded interesting and I signed up. I believe every freshman should go to a Club fair to see what you can do outside of school work. Life is not always about school and I stand by that. There wasn’t much that surprised me other than the delicious cupcakes I got from joining a club. What I could take away from this experience?  I feel that this was more of a networking event and meeting people it certainly helped me connect to the school a lot more.
