ADVICE TO BARUCH COLLEGE

As a New Media adviser to Baruch College, I would suggest for Baruch to develop a social network site where students can communicate with each other and learn from each others experiences. I would suggest that students can access it from their homes or jobs or the kiosk booths located on campus. For students who work during the day and attend night classes having quick access to information is very important, because of they’re busy schedules. A social network site might also help night students feel more connected to the school, because the majority of activities and clubs are held in the day.
Also, through the use of text messages (SMS), students can be kept informed on class cancellations, building repairs that are taking place or if the student advisement has free openings to evaluate students. Getting students connected to a network of information prepares them for their future careers where information will always be forthcoming to them.
