On September 7, 2017, I went to the General Interest Meeting for the Finance & Economics Society. This meeting was only about two hours long, but it felt like an hour. In high school, I did not have the option to join any business clubs because I went to a small school. Now, I am glad that Baruch has plenty of opportunities at the tip of my fingers.
I expected the first meeting to be sort of tiring and informational. However, as soon as I walked in, I saw a cheesy pizza pie right before my eyes. At that moment, I knew I did not regret signing up for this club. While I was eating my pizza, I did learn the advantages that this club had to offer. The Finance & Economics Society often invites large corporations and firms to Baruch for networking events for all club members. In addition, this organization has a Mentorship program that meets twice a week. I plan on applying for the program. Currently, all I can do is hope to get an interview. After the explanation about the purpose of FES, we were placed into groups of ten for a team building exercise. To sum it up, I guarantee to come back into room 11-120 every Thursday.
