As new Baruch students every freshman attended c0nvocation day on August 27, 2013. Though we heard many different speeches that morning, the most important was the speech on making Baruch a greener place. There was emphasis on placing trash into the right receptacles so that Baruch could recycle. As a community, Baruch cares about the future of this planet so they made it their duty to make sure everyone knew about the program. They also introduced programs where students could get involved in other environmental friendly ideas.
