Majors and Minor Fair

Today, November 9^th, was the Majors and Minors Fair.  I️ know that I️ plan to major in Journalism and minor in Communication, but I️ went to the fair to have more knowledge on what classes I️ would have to take in the future.  Journalism has two categories: Business Journalism and Creative Writing Journalism, which is the one I️ would like to pursue in the future.  I would like to have a job on the radio, which is an elective and therefore doesn’t matter which category I️ wish to major in.  When I️ went to the Journalism table, I️ was greeted by a woman and a man.  The woman asked me what my name was and once I️ told her, her eyes lit up because her name is also Giselle, minus one “l”.  I️ then went and said that I️ had just enrolled in her journalism class for the spring and how excited I️ was.  Professor Gisele Regato then asked me what I️ plan to do in the future and I️ told her that I️ wanted to be on the radio.  This is where I️ really shocked her because Professor Regato has been working on the radio and doing podcasts for almost 15 years.  She told me that this was fate and that i️t is so exciting to be meeting someone that not only shared the same name as her, but wants to pursue the same career.  We obviously took a picture together and said that we cannot wait for next semester.  After an eventful 10-15 minutes at the Journalism table, I️ went to the Communication table.  I️ was greeted by two friendly women who gave all the information I️ need to have Communication as my minor.  I️ also had to give my information so that one of the advisors could email me information of which communication classes to take that corresponds to a Journalism major.  All in all, the Majors and Minors Fair was a great experience that helped me to fully understand on how to plan for the rest of my time here at Baruch.
