This past Thursday I attended the Start-Up Tech Fair hosted by Hillel at Baruch College. There I networked with the industry’s leading power players in the tech field. The experience was like no other. One particular company I spoke with aimed to revolutionize advertisements. This company, ChatDynamo are experts at growing chatbot audiences. Chatbots are automated messages generated by a computer to stimulate conversation between itself and the human consumer. I enjoyed speaking with the CEO of ChatDynamo the most out of each company representative at the Start-Up Tech Fair. I also had the opportunity to meet other students involved within the Hillel community that I didn’t know prior to the fair. I made a strong decision in deciding to attend the fair which surely paid off. I aim to now build upon the connections I created and attempt to gain an internship out of one of the companies I envision myself within. I also aspire to keep strong the friendly relationships I created with the Hillel students I met. The advantage of attending Baruch College is that the school provides many opportunities to meet with business professionals. By having a hard working office of Student Life that works behind the scenes to allow clubs such as Hillel, the college is able to permit networking events weekly. Earlier in the semester I struggled to envision my future as a student of Baruch College. Gradually I’ve become more comfortable and have began to see all the opportunities the College provides. After Thursday’s event, I am proud to say that I am a Baruch College student looking to prepare for his future. Thank you Karl and Jean for your continued support from day one. As my mentors you shaped me not only as a student but as a member of the Baruch College community.
