Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWA

Mock Wedding

Clubs at Baruch got together to throw this mock wedding to share with Baruch  the joyful, rich and rambunctious occasion that is South Asian wedding. It was a wonderful cultural insight as weddings are, even throughout vastly different cultures, a thing of gathering and celebration regardless.  With singing and dancing performances with a mixture of tradiotn and modernity, it was extremely enjoyable learning experience. 10/10 would definitely crash a fun South Asian wedding.

Major & Minor Fair

I talked to as many professors as I could ranging from professors that taught law to English to actuarial science. I’m really glad I was there. Each person that I talked to was able to offer me a unique insight as I asked them the purpose of their work and what good I would be able to do if I did study and work in that field. I felt the importance and the impact of each and every single subject and I genuinely felt that the professors learned just as much from me as I learned from them. The English professor struck out to me as we discussed the meaning of life and the reason why I stopped reading and the Science professor who was intrigued by my question of unbiased science and its achievement. Looking forward to meeting them again as years progress.

Club Fair

There was a Club Fair on Thursday 9/28 at the gym which I attended.  Almost all, if not all, the clubs that exist in Baruch were there, and the variety of clubs ranged from archery to raising funds to help girls learn in impoverished nations. I’m certain that I ended up signing up for at least 10 as there were many great clubs that piqued my interest but, as meeting the time commitment for all of them would be logistically impossible, I’m sure I will figure out which clubs will be of priority as time passes. The one that I’m most happy to have signed up for would be Baruch Muslim Student Association as I’ve always wanted to learn more about Islam to educate myself and be an advocate against Islamophobia..
