NABA General interest meeting

NABA or the national association for black accountants is an organization at Baruch that held its general interest meeting last week. On convocation day, I was approached by a few members of NABA and I was given the same pitch that many of the other clubs and groups had been using all day.  But for some reason, the pitch given to me by the NABA members stuck with me throughout the day unlike many of the others I had heard that day and made me want to learn more about the group and what it does. It was because of my peaked interest in NABA and my need to fulfill my FRO enrichment workshop requirement that I decided to attend NABA’S general interest meeting. When I first walked into the room in which the meeting was to be held I was slightly surprised to see the number of other people who were also curious about what NABA at Baruch is about. A few minutes after I walked in the members of the NABA at Baruch introduced themselves and began a slideshow showcasing what it is like to be a member of NABA at Baruch. They showed off their different on and off campus events and their events out of NYC in places like NOLA and Virginia. Throughout the presentation, they made it clear that they not only care about their own successes but also the success of others as their motto is “Lifting as we as we climb!” Overall the experience was a good and I look for to attending any more events put on by NABA a Baruch.
