Earlier this week, I made an appointment through Baruch’s Starr Search website for a counseling session. My counselor was Ms. Ricki Weitzen. She was very welcoming and accommodating to me as a new student to Baruch College. She asked me about my interests and really listened to what I said asking follow-up questions to help me flesh out my answers so I can could see them more clearly.

She opened up my mind as to my previous stance on getting more involved at Baruch. At the present time, I am dead set on getting into Team Baruch however, I am now considering joining the music club on campus as well as some others. She noted that I have creative interests although I do not view myself as a creative person. I spoke to her about my ability to work well with other even though it is not my particular preference and about possibly pursuing a degree in Human Resources.

She made sure to mention the host of fairs that happen at Baruch College. It was truly eye opening. One point of new information that I learned was that Baruch College can set up intimate one company presentations geared specifically toward interested students. That was something great to learn.

I am very pleased with my first experience with Baruch’s Starr Center. My counselor and the staff were extremely helpful. I hope to make use of them in the future.
