Blog: Advice
From the time I entered Baruch as a freshman in Fall 2013, to now being a senior in Spring 2017, Baruch has incorporated a lot of new media to improve communication. Their facebook, instagram, and twitter pages are a lot more active. However, they still leave much to be desired. There are many advertisements for winter and summer classes, but there is not much information about individual departments. For example, the natural sciences department. The website seems very outdated, and there is no contact information for anyone. You would have to go onto Baruch's main site, and search the directory. The more important departments, such as the financial aid office or the academic advisement center have seen major improvements, and I think the other departments need improvements as well. Many students do not have time to go to these offices, and the departments should be able to be reached through other means.

I certainly see that the website is very outdated and needs revamping. I think we need it to be more mobile friendly and get rid of the constant password changes. I know it is particular of me but I hate Baruch's font, as well. Hopefully we could bring Baruch to the 21st century!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, I agree with you, Baruch has updated their social media pages quite well, but it still lacks detail. Baruch should update their method of communication with the financial aid office. As a student, it is very hard to get in contact with them. Their phone system is automated so you aren't able to speak to a representative and e-mails aren't answered.So if a student has a question, they will always have to go to the office physically which is inconvenient sometimes due to a student's schedule or even if the semester ends and the student is on vacation. Baruch College can improve their call system and perhaps add a video call option so that students can easily access a representative at any time and place.
