For my third blog post, I decided to go to the Starr Career Development Center to have a counselor look over my resume. Before entering the Starr Career Development Center, I took a look at the endless job opportunities displayed on the bulletin boards for students to look at which pushed me to find an internship. I then entered the center and signed in with the front desk. I sat for a few minutes until I was called in. First I was called in, and then I was seated with the counselor. She handed me a booklet which consisted of useful information on how to write resumes and cover letters which I was able to keep. Then, she looked over my resume that I printed out in advance and handed to her. The counselor wrote on my resume as she kindly gave me some feedback and suggestions on how to improve my resume and what revisions need to be made. She also provided some examples on how to reword sentences on my resume to make it sound more professional which was helpful. The counselor was also very patient and allowed me to ask questions about my resume. After my appointment was over, I felt more confident about my career in the future because not only do I have the Starr Career Development Center to support and help me find internships, but I now know what needs to be revised in my resume and how to write a cover letter as well.

Hi everyone!
After hearing about the SACC Tutoring Center, I decided to attend a workshop because I needed help with math problems that I did not understand for my math test. Before the workshop, I signed up online through the SACC website a few days in advance. I chose which tutor I wanted, what time and day, which math course I am currently enrolled in, and what questions I had to ask them. On the day of my appointment, I entered the SACC Tutoring Center room, (which is located on the second floor) and the desk lady asked for my Baruch ID in order to check my name into the system. After that, I entered the tutoring room which had a few tables with name tags on it. The tutor was sitting at the table with a white board next to her and I sat at the table. Then I asked her some questions I had trouble with. She was very kind and helpful because she answered all of my questions. Also, she used the white board and wrote out the problems so that I can visually see what how she solved them. Coming out of this worksop, I felt confident because I was able to understand the problems that I did not understand before. I am glad that I attended this workshop because it can help me do well on my math test and future math tests.
Student Life
Hi everyone! My name is Lauren, and I am a Freshman. I was curious to learn what Student Life had to offer here at Baruch, so a friend had introduced me to the club, Women in Business, also known as WIB. I was interested to attend WIB’s general interest meeting because I plan to major within a field of business, however, I am not sure what my concentration is yet.
When I first entered the club meeting, there were a lot of people seated and they provided pizza, cookies, and drinks for students. Soon after, the President and Vice Presidents of the club introduced themselves and explained what the club is about. As they were explaining the club’s responsibilities, it seemed organized and professional since there were many committees such as marketing, event planning, journalism, etc. This way, there were many positions for students and it allowed them to choose what committee they prefered to participate in. The club members also met and worked with professionals outside of Baruch which made the club such a huge success.
After that, we had a fun ice breaker in order to get to know about one another. We formed a circle and had to pass a little box around as they played the music. Once the music stopped, we had to say our names and why we were interested in the club.
I was pleased to attend this meeting because everyone was welcoming and friendly. It also made me feel more comfortable at Baruch since I became more familiar with new faces. Not only did I expand my horizons as a student and expose myself to activities beyond the classroom, but I had the opportunity to ask questions and socialize with other students. I definitely enjoyed my time at the Women in Business general interest meeting.
