I found TSO just by passing through the halls where all the clubs meet. I had no idea what club I was going to end up talking with, but it was TSO (transfer student organization). Basically what they do is help transfer students as well as freshmen meet other people who may have similar interests as well as similar majors. One of the guys actually said it is very common for people to meet others in the club that are further along in their major and they are able to get advice for their next steps. They also help anyone in the club venture out to other clubs that they may be interested in, which I think is super helpful if you are new and possibly shy. The people I met in the club are super nice and they made us feel welcomed. It’s funny how this club helps others connect with each other because I actually met someone there that I knew in elementary school and haven’t spoken to since then. Overall, I think this club is really helpful to network and create relationships with people that may or may not have similar interests or majors, especially for those who are new such as freshmen and transfer students.

Today I found out about the Transfer Student Organization (TSO). They dedicate themselves to helping out freshmen and transfer students who need some guidance when beginning college.

It’s not easy for freshmen and transfer students to become familiar with Baruch College right away and so this is where TSO comes in and helps. They help students who need assistance with their resume, interview skills, and answer any troubling questions in general. They have a mentorship program where they have mentors help students who need assistance. They host fun events like Rooftop parties, pumpkin picking, picnics, hikes, and much more! They’re a very diverse club and when I hung out with them, I sensed a good feeling of community between them.They all seemed glad to be a part of TSO.

I am definitely interested in this club and look forward to attending their general interest meeting. It will be a good place to begin networking and meet new people.

Welcome to Blogs@Baruch!

This is where we will be posting our blogs for the semester. You are required to do three blogs, each a minimum of 150 words. The blogs are based off of different “workshops” that you will attend. One club oriented, professional oriented, and academic oriented. You will have to take a selfie of yourself to prove you were at the event as well. If you go with a group (#LC4Squad) then you can get someone to take a group picture and it will count for everyone in the picture.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
