Baruch and New Media

One of the ways Baruch College can improve the university experience for its students is increasing the community atmosphere and community engagement within the university. Because Baruch College is tainted with the reputation of being a commuter school, many students become disengaged with the community of the school. Therefore to remedy this, the school can launch initiatives with new media mediums such as social media to increase awareness of social events and other aspects of college social life. They can also create initiatives for classroom settings that allow faculty and students to engage in subject matters more in depth and increase the overall academic aspects of the university setting. The Internet has invited Baruch College and the rest of universities to live online, providing a more intimate relationship with its student body and can continue to cater to students in a way that increases the benefits of the student body.
