On Friday the 15th, Skylar, Cynthia, and I all decided to go to the Career Fair at Baruch. It started at 12:00 and ended at 4:00, and we all had to wear professional business attire in order to get in. We waited on the line from the basement into the lobby in order to go to the fair, and then we were overwhelmed by how crowded it was inside. There were a plethora of dressed-up students and inside the fair we gathered some information from various business, such as Barnes and Noble and TD Bank. I decided to approach those two corporations because I’m interested in marketing and I would like to work for large corporations such as these. It was a good idea to go now to the career fair now as a freshman so we could get an idea for what to expect when we’re actually looking for internships as sophomores.
As a Jewish student here at Baruch having something that helps me connect to my Jewish identity is truly helpful. At 3:50 the Hillel in our vertical campus holds afternoon prayers, an essential part of my day. Right after freshman seminar, I like to go over there sometimes with my dear friend Andrew Teigman, and we interact with the local Jewish People and those who are interested in finding out more about Israel the Jewish state and their Jewish identity. Daily Prayers are an essential part of my day and I love experiencing this daily event especially at the Hillel where I am surrounded by not only the diversity of Baruch but by the diversity of the Jewish population here at Baruch. I have a profound enjoyment of religious and cultural experiences and love meeting new people. The Hillel at Baruch has provided me with the perfect environment for just that.
