This will be a space for you to post the blogs assigned in class, as well as write creatively about anything you may encounter throughout your first semester at Baruch.

A few reminders for you all:
– We will be meeting every week on Monday. FRO classes will run from 2:55PM – 4:10PM. It is imperative that you arrive on time, as class will begin promptly at 2:55PM.
– I ask that you kindly come to class earlier if you have any questions or concerns. I have class immediately after FRO, which means I will not be able to stay after class to answer your questions. I will be available in the classroom 15 minutes prior to start of class.

That’s all I have for you guys. Please feel free to blog!
