About the Event:

We invited First Year and transfer students to join us on Zoom for their Primer Cafecito at Baruch — a brief and informal introduction to the key programs, offices, and Latinx student organizations at Baruch dedicated to advancing student’s academic and future professional success!  This event followed the tradition familiar to most Latinx households –  el cafecito de la tarde. The most enriching and engaging conversations happen over an afternoon coffee, and this is what Primer Cafecito aimed to do.

Time and Date:

Tuesday September 14th, 2021
