Advice

As the new hire for Baruch College, the use of new media can reach out to numerous students and provide a great platform for the college to provide useful and fun information for students and professors. I would like to create a plan from the top-down as stated below:



President & USG:

Use social media such as Twitter to keep students part of the loop. On top of signing up with all the social media networks, it is important to market social media accounts to students. This should be done through posters posted on the 2nd floor and club room area. Students that I go to school with feel that although there are social media networks that USG runs, it is important that people are following the social networks and are able to get online. Relevant content to students that would be interested is required on a daily basis or weekly to list out ideas.

Teachers and staff:

There should be a site for professors to express frustrations anonymously without judgment which should be available in all departments. Furthermore, there should be a feedback loop in place for students of certain majors to get answers. There are students who want to know more about their major and provide feedback loops for certain staff to go through questions and get answers. If students want to meet with department heads or staff within the department there should be a use of apps. There has to be an app that departments can use to reach out to students to promote their major and make it easy to schedule meetings that work according to their schedule.

Students:

Outside of random surveys on Baruch's email, it is important to provide students a chance to showcase their time in Baruch. We have one tv in the 2nd floor of the NVC that showcases clubs, but there need to be more TVs that provide access to these photos and get students a chance to share their time in Baruch.
