In the past week, I’ve attended many general interest club meetings, including Lexicon’s. Lexicon is the school’s yearbook committee. It’s the only student run organization that makes and sells its own product: the yearbook. Lexicon, within itself, has many committees. These committees include: photography, graphic design, finance, management, and marketing. Meeting the heads of the team made me think that it was indeed something that I would like to be a part of. They were very welcoming and seemed genuinely excited about the work that they do.

At the meeting, they did a run over of each committee, explaining the responsibilities and targets. I was most intrigued by what the graphics and photography department had to say. The photography department is responsible for any pictures that would go in the yearbook while the graphics department makes the physical yearbook.

I also had the opportunity to meet with each of the e board members along with some of their senior members. Attached is a photo of me with sadia, who was last year’s chair of Graphics for the yearbook. After engaging in conversation with her, she told me that being in the graphics committee doesn’t require you to have any skills beforehand but rather the heads of the department teaches you any and all the skills necessary. This was great to hear as I am actually super interested in learning graphics but I just didn’t know where to start from. The current head of department, nudrat, also said that they will be hosting a few “graphics 101” sessions, which I’m really looking forward to. This club allows me to grow so much in areas that I am interested in and that can help me in my future. I’m currently undecided in my major but having graphics skills and marketing skills will never hurt me.

Also apparently one benefit of joining Lexicon, is being able to attend almost all the big events and getting to know the general baruch population. This is so exciting, as a freshman, this will allow me to expand my horizons and get to know more people and to see if I’m Interested in other events.

Lexicon’s first cosponsored event is this week on Tuesday. The event is going to be hosted by the Muslim Student Association. Sadia is also co president of the club so she was able to give me the inside scoop and invite me. This school year is starting off great! Can’t wait to go to all the events the clubs can offer me. #freefood!
