A month ago I attended the TEAM Baruch Orientation/Info Day. During this time I learned about all the position opportunities that TEAM Baruch offers. I was especially interested in the TEAM Baruch peer mentor position in which your mentor new freshmen. I find this job to be an especially special one because through this you can really aid the high school to college transition that all the freshman go through, one that can be especially hard. Going to this event made me eager to attain a peer mentor position in the future so that I can make sure that other students have a good transition, learn about their resources here at Baruch, and feel very welcome. I think that this would be a good position for me one day because I enjoy working with other people and making others feel comfortable in situations. TEAM Baruch emphasized the importance of working together as a community within the school, something I find very important at a commuter school like Baruch. I think because Baruch is a commuter school, it makes the transition for new students especially difficult. I think it’s great that TEAM Baruch offers jobs for students to make the Baruch experience better for them and other students. I learned that TEAM Baruch offers jobs in the career counselling department, and that there are even tutoring jobs available for Baruch students as well. I even bumped into one of the Baruch Career counselors that was at the meeting who also happens to be one of my neighbors, which was a funny coincidence. Overall, my experience learning about TEAM Baruch and the positions available was very enlightening. I hope that in the future I can join TEAM Baruch and become part of the community that makes Baruch a better place in all aspects of student life.
