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.
Hey Lauren! I came late to this meeting, so I missed most of it, but I am coming to the next one and hope to see you there too!
