BLOG: Advice

At times Baruch can feel very disconnected being a commuter school and having a vertical campus. New media could be used to connect the student body further and allow more networking between students. Baruch already utilizes social media such as Facebook and Twitter, but one suggestion would be a closed Facebook group for all undergraduate students to be able to talk and network in. Baruch posts a lot of content to their social media, but allowing for more interaction with the students in postings and hearing more of students suggestions and concerns would be another way to better utilize their social media presence. This could go even further to there being contests for free admission to concerts and events being held at Baruch, and other ways to reward the students and help them feel more unified. I would also suggest an initiative to promote Blogs at Baruch more. More and more of our classes at Baruch are utilizing new media such as blogs to tie in with class discussions, which is definitely a good usage of new media.
