I think one issue that has been circling with Baruch for many years is getting people to hangout around campus. Being that this is a commuter school people tend to just come for class and then go straight home. I would incorporate social media more heavily in the school to share what events are happening around campus, and also live stream the events so even if people are unable to come, they feel more connected with the school.

    I definitely agree that it's pretty difficult to socialize and get to know people at Baruch, especially since you probably won't meet the same people the following semester. Baruch seems to be somewhat active with social media, but there is a lack of events that are more relaxed than professional. Live streaming events would be a great way for people to feel like they are a part of a community even when they aren't physically present.

    Hello Yong Mei,
    I totally agree with the fact that it is hard to socialize at Baruch. Joining clubs would definitely be the approach here in order to meet more people at Baruch and build a network if one is willing to. A livestream is definitely resourceful when someone is unable to participate in the event physically, but still would like to know everything that is happening.

We would verify they work at a company through a picture of an ID or a paystub to make sure there isn't any people lying. The reason for this type of new media would be equaling the playing field against these corporations. I know there might groups on facebook and reddit but those groups might be hard to find and also the people aren't necessarily "verified".

Blog: Privacy

In terms of new media, there's issues of privacy and confidentially. One issue is that we have to trust the platform that we are giving our information to. In terms of what are they going to do with it and are they able to keep it safe.
