a.teigman – Freshman Seminar Fall 17 EMA

Andrew Teigman Carrer Blog Post

On November 16th, 2017 I attended the Start up Fair by the Baruch Hillel in the MPR. There was kosher food as well as a panel of multiple entrepreneurs who were keen in the business world. There was ten companies most of them were from Israel and had experience in the tech and Venture Capitalist markets there. The Specific company Sportsguru was my favorite. I had a meaningful conversation with the founder after. I spoke to him about potential flaws in his business model and their target market. He was very serious and was curious about my feedback. He made me really explain my points and why he agreed/disagreed with them. This was a great opportunity for me to learn a lot as a new student. The leaders gave me different things to think about when approaching hard ship. Opposition is sometimes the key success.In order to really be successful hard work and a determination must be included. Life is compared to an EKG graph there are both up and downs. If one is constant no growth or decline you flatline. The business world outside in New York City is one that is extremely competitive. We being students of Baruch College and hopefully ambassadors of its values need to value ethics and hard work. The idea of upward mobility is no more relevant in any other college in the world. We need to use our resources and our education to transform the business sector and the political climate as whole.These were some of the strong lessons iI learned from the incredible speakers at the event.They gave me a sense of hope and excitement for the future and what it entails. I would like to thank Justin and Erin and FRO as a whole to make me broaden my horizons and learn some important great values.

SAAC Session Andrew Teigman

Last Monday October 2nd I was very stressed about my math test. I decided to go over to the SAAC Tutoring session to see if they can help me in preparing for my exam. The only problem was that my exam was the next day, so I did not have such high hopes. When I got there the man behind the counter was so nice and arranged for me to have a tutoring session starting in 10 minutes. The Tutor was very helpful, she knew her skills for sure and gave me some advice on test taking.She did have a very strong accent which was a little hard to understand but overall it is very helpful to make an appointment there. I think for the next exam I might want to make a couple appointments a week or two in advance so it can really benefit me not just to cram it all in. Also, I am hopefully going to do a little more research to see who is the best tutor for my specific class to ensure the time i spend there is used the best. The actual SAAC office was extremely organized and efficient I recommend everyone checks it out ASAP if they need help in any class. I would like to thank my FRO teachers to urge me to do something I probably would not have done on my own. I realized at Baruch there is so much to offer you just have to seek out and really delve into the society here. Like how lucky are the students that we can be tutored in most classes by really smart people for free. There is also class reviews and one-on-one sessions its whatever you prefer. Appointments are easy and can be made and cancelled right online. Everyone should give it a shot, trust me.

Right after class I went over to the Baruch Hillel on the 3rd floor. The second I walked all the students and faculty members asked me my name and were so nice. They explained to me the different kosher food they sell and have. They also have many classes on religious studies with pizza or food. That is good to know because there is not so much access to kosher food while studying in Baruch College. They also informed me of the midday services they have. This was crucial because sometimes I need to pray in the middle of the day and no i know where to go. Also they have this 7 dollar kosher sandwich deal. Since kosher food is so expensive which is perfect when i’m in a rush just run over and grab some food. The actual environment of the hillel was a great chill. There were people eating hanging out working learning. It was really nice to have such a diverse group of jews all just trying to enjoy their time in college. Also, it is right next to the ping pong and pool room so i saw some pretty intense games of that which was cool. Also, the coaches and chairs are super comfy great place to work in the future. I want to thank FRO for having me really give the Hillel a shot and see what it is about.
