Dear Members of the Baruch Community,
Freshmen and transfers: Welcome to Baruch College! Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors: Welcome back!
On behalf of your Undergraduate Student Government, we are excited to welcome you onto our campus and hope that you are
excited to experience everything this college has to offer.
Whether you’re a freshman straight out of high school, an incoming transfer student, or a current student, the goal of this magazine is
to help you discover everything about Baruch. Working as a team, we’ve put together a collection of information we think you need
to know ranging from GPA requirements to how to craft your résumé to explaining CUNYfirst and other web apps to what each of our
120+ clubs stand for.
While everything in this magazine is relevant to everyone, maintaining a balance between your social, professional, and academic
lives is most important.
I came to Baruch as a freshman when I was eighteen and after attending Freshman Convocation in Mason Hall, I had no idea what to
think. “How hard do I have to try to get a good grade?” “What is a good grade?” “Can I uphold my B+ average in college?”
The thought that never crossed my mind was “how do I get involved?” Actually, I was determined not to get involved. I wanted my
focus to be on my academics so I could land an internship by the start of my sophomore year. (It was an aggressive goal.)
But by the end of my freshman year, I didn’t have an internship. I did well in both my first and second semesters, but that’s about all I
did. I didn’t have the drive to succeed in anything but that. My social life—what social life?— was next to nothing at school and it came
from my lack of desire to take advantage of things like Club Hours on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. and club events. I had to get involved.
About halfway through my third semester, that changed. I chose to get start attending Undergraduate Student Government meetings
on Tuesday nights at 5:30 p.m.—otherwise known as “USG.” This must have been the best single decision I’ve made as an undergrad.
It made me realize everything, from the fact that our entire student body represents over 170 nationalities across campus to the idea
that there’s a club for almost everyone’s interests.
If I could give any advice to anyone reading this magazine, it would be to use it to learn about what this school has in store for you.
Show it to other students in your classes and go out to lunch at some of the places listed from pages 40-41. Get involved! Make
friends. And be social.
Welcome to the Baruch Community.
If you have any questions about anything written in this magazine, please email me or stop by our office on the 3rd Floor of the Vertical
Campus right next to the local elevators.
All the best,
LETTER FROM
THE PRESIDENT

The Writing Center’s professional consultants work with students one-on-one during a 50-minute
session by appointment, online appointment, or a walk-in basis. The purpose of these sessions is to
identify strengths and weaknesses within one’s writing and offer strategies that will ultimately strengthen
a student’s abilities as a writer. Group workshops are also offered to help students practice strategies
and skills in particular areas they wish to study. The consultants are experienced and are highly trained
in working with a variety of students, such as multilingual writers and international students.

Baruch has many tools to ensure that students can be proactive and independent in navigating their way through
their undergraduate career. However, it is important to leave the computer and seek a one-on-one consultation
with an academic advisor at the Center for Academic Advisement.
The center is available for general consultations, but students should try to make a visit, in order to declare a
major or minor and for total class-resignations. Students should pay a special visit during their junior year to fill
out an Academic Worksheet with an advisor, which outlines the courses they must complete in order to meet
degree requirements. It also provides a complete breakdown of every credit needed for graduation, including
electives and scheduling classes.
Academic Appeals is the process that Baruch College students go through for issues such as obtaining academic
waivers and requests for a “W” grade. Every academic appeal is reviewed by a committee of faculty, students,
and administrators. When filing an academic appeal, take care to complete the proper paperwork (found in the
Center of Academic Advisement) and supporting documentation.

relating to ordering transcripts, obtaining
an ePermit, your enrollment, applying for
graduation, your schedule, changing your
address, or accessing CUNY Portal, they’re
the office you will be interested in visiting.

Baruch Website
CUNYfirst
The face of Baruch’s online presence is shaped by our homepage:
baruch.cuny.edu. It is managed by our Departments of
Communications, Marketing, Public Affairs , the Office of Student
Life (OSL) and the Baruch Computing and Technology Center (BCTC).
The website was launched in 2011 and is constantly revamped to
provide students with accurate and timely information. Students
should visit the website often for easy access to major academic
tools such as Blackboard, eSims and DegreeWorks.
CUNYfirst is a CUNY-wide tool for utilizing the many resources and
services available to all students across its many campuses. It helps
to standardize basic processes across the university system. Every
Baruch student needs to have a CUNYfirst account to manage their
academic careers. CUNYfirst provides students with the ability to view
grades, register & search for classes, check course requirements,
see financial information along with paying tuition and fees. For
help using CUNYfirst, visit the Baruch CUNYfirst website or the
CUNY-wide website, both listed below

DegreeWorks allows Baruch students to view their progress towards
their degree. It lists your courses taken, courses you are currently
taking, skills tests, transfer credits and more. You can access it by
logging into the CUNY portal and selecting Student Advisement
Degree Audit under “Applications/Resources.” Use DegreeWorks
in conjunction with the Center of Academic Advisement, which can
help you understand your audit.
Blackboard
Blackboard is your go-to resource for classwork during the semester.
Many professors use Blackboard, but to varying extents. Classes
can be viewed under the “My Courses” tab. Here, professors
may post the syllabus, course assignments, helpful links, class
handouts, study guides, grades, and a wealth of other important
information. Beyond classwork, Blackboard can help you organize
your activity on campus, and keep you up to date on recent news

STUDY ABROAD
Engage the World! Study Abroad!
The Study Abroad Office at Baruch helps students make an international experience a part of their academic
degree program. They advise students about opportunities and orient them to overcome financial, curricular or personal obstacles.
Baruch College students are eligible to attend study abroad programs ranging from January Intersession and Summer Sessions to
a semester or even academic year abroad. Students should think about studying abroad now, and start by attending the bi-annual
Study Abroad Fair, which takes place in mid-September and mid-February. These fairs offer a wonderful opportunity for program
providers and past participants to speak to Baruch students about the study abroad programs available to them. Exchange students
from our partner universities who are studying at Baruch will also staff tables to give Baruch students first-hand information about
campus life abroad. Understanding the kinds of academic and cultural experiences our students have abroad will help prospective
students integrate study abroad into their overall college career.
I. STUDY ABROAD OPTIONS
Baruch College students may study abroad on an exchange program, a study abroad program offered by third-party providers or by
directly enrolling in a foreign university.
Direct Enrollment
Students may enroll directly as a visiting
student in a foreign institution of higher
education that does not have an exchange
agreement with Baruch College.
Baruch Exchanges
Baruch currently enjoys a wide range of
semester-long exchange agreements with
universities or business schools abroad.
Exchange programs are available in many
countries: from Austria to Turkey, with new
agreements in the works with partners in
Brazil and Japan.
Study Abroad Programs
Baruch students may choose from over
100 different programs and locations in 35
different countries. Students don’t have to
know a second language to study abroad
(though it helps). Most Study Abroad
Programs offer facilitated enrollment in
a foreign university, or provide courses
taught in English in non-Anglophone
countries. They may be sponsored by
either another CUNY or SUNY international
office, or a third party study abroad
provider that may provide varying amounts
of student support services.
Any Baruch student wishing to study abroad must submit and have approved an Application
to Study Abroad.This application determines the student’s general eligibility and suitability
for studying abroad.
Baruch students must submit and have approved any application required by the host
university or sponsoring Study Abroad Program provider.
All Baruch College students who study abroad earn credit towards their degree; many
also earn credit towards their major subject as well.
All courses taken by Baruch College students at a foreign educational institution must be
approved for Baruch College credit by the appropriate department.
II. APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR STUDY ABROAD
III. FINANCING STUDY ABROAD
Financial Aid
All Baruch College students who study
abroad on approved programs may use
their Pell grants to help pay for their overseas
study. Students who receive TAP awards
may also apply these awards towards their
study abroad if the program meets the
requirements of the TAP administration.
The Baruch College Financial Aid Office
also assists students in obtaining loans to
help finance their study abroad.
Scholarships
Baruch College students are strongly encouraged
to apply for national scholarships such as the
Gilman and Boren. As CUNY students, Baruch
study abroad applicants meeting the eligibility
criteria are also encouraged to apply for the
Scholarships for International Resume-Building
Opportunities for CUNY Students (SIROCS) grants.
Baruch College students alone are eligible to
apply for a C.V. Starr Study Abroad Fellowship, a
scholarship made available to qualified students
by a generous grant of the C.V. Starr Foundation.
The Weissman Center for International Business strives
to prepare Baruch students for the global market with
programs designed to reinforce business values while
exposing them to economic matters from a global
standpoint. Some of the services this center offers are
international internships, a study abroad program, the
Global Student Certificate program, scholarships, and
access to the International Business Alumni Association.

a discipline they might wish to study in addition to their major. Minors range from Psychol-
ogy and Communication Studies to Visual Arts Administration and Law & Policy. The Tier III
minor enables students to study something that interests them outside of their major. No
matter which school a student belongs to, their minor enables them to diversify their aca-
demic career in the interest of themselves and future employers.

AD HOC MAJORS
Students who do not wish to pursue a conven-

a custom major designed for them, known as
the “Ad-Hoc Major.” With the help of an advisor,
students can put together a
combination of courses from
two or more departments,
constructing a unique and
cohesive liberal arts focus.
The Weissman School of Arts
and Sciences is also the only
school at Baruch which allows

Tell how you heard of the opening or organization.
2nd
Paragraph: Indicate your career or job objective and why you are particularly suited for this
company or the type of work. Highlight your particularly relevant achievements and qualifications by
giving specific examples. Elaborate on key points from your resume without repeating your resume
word-for-word. Be sure to point out facts such as related work experience, coursework or training.
Communicate to the employer that you understand the position and have the qualities the employer
seeks.
3rd
Paragraph: Politely request an interview. Your closing should reiterate your interest in the position
and give specific information about how you can be reached. Thank the employer for his/her time and
consideration. Repeat your phone and email contact information.
Sincerely,
Your Name Typed
Don’t forget to sign your name before faxing or mailing the
letter and keep a copy for your records.-- If you are sending
a cover letter by email, copy and paste the letter into the
body of the email message.You do not have to electronically
sign your letter.
A “Thank You” Goes a Long Way
Writing a thank you letter after an interview is a necessity that you should
not compromise. In fact, many employers think less of candidates who
fail to follow-up promptly. Plan to send out your thank you letter within
24 hours after your interview. A thank you email should only be an option
if too much time has passed.
In your thank you letter, thank the interviewer for their time and consideration.
Do not forget to express your enthusiasm for the company and position
that you interviewed for. In the body, address any unresolved points
during the interview that will allow you to make a positive impression. Be
sure to highlight your expertise and accomplishments. Most importantly,
personalize your writing so you can set yourself apart from all of the other
candidates. Finally, thank the interviewer again for their interest in you as
a candidate and emphasize that you are excited to hear back from them.
Cover Letter Basics
It is important that you send a well-written cover letter along with your resume
when applying for a position, especially for positions that require cover letters,
or for positions that require strong writing skills. A cover letter is a one-page
statement of your objective which should highlight your skills and interest in a
particular field/position. It should communicate to the prospective employer how
you are a good match for the company and the desired position. Take the time to
craft a good letter, and proofread it very carefully before sending it. If your cover
letter has errors, your whole application may be thrown out! Also, save copies
of all correspondence for your records.
Preparing for an Interview
1. Before the interview you should research the company or organization, review
your resume, practice answering potential interview questions and prepare a
list of questions for the employer.
2. “Tell me about yourself,” does not mean the employer wants to know your life
story. Talk about experiences that make you qualified for the job.
3. Arrive to your interview at least ten minutes in advance so you are not flustered the
moment your interview has begun.
4. Business formal is a must—no exceptions.
5. Make sure to give a firm handshake before and after the interview.
6. Use power verbs during your interview and make sure to highlight your qualities.
7. Do not fidget during the interview.
8. Take notes about the interview after the interview is over.
Questions to Ask
Employers:
1. What qualities are
you looking for in
new hires?
2. What kind of
assignments might
I receive?
3. Will I have the
opportunity to
work on special
projects?
4. What specific
projects will I be
working on first?

Price does not matter, as long as
everything fits well. Plenty of people
in Baruch look good on a budget.

in that world seamlessly, just like her clothes

bottom. H&M, $30

professionals. Uniqlo, $15
“I AM YOUR LEADER,
IN A DRESS”

options than men when it comes to professional
clothes. Now some say black is the new black, and with
this dress, it’s hard to disagree.

hottest album of 2014, she also commands attention.

“He is ready for
any corporate
environment.”
He says:
“Just because I’m
handsome doesn’t
mean I didn’t finish
all the accounts in
my portfolio by
5pm yesterday.”
“Clean and Polished”
This model’s outfit is a common go-to
for professional male attire. The clothes
are ironed, the shoes are shined, and
the red tie is classic. Red draws people’s
attention. Shades of red on the color
spectrum are focused behind the retinas
in your eyes. Therefore, red appears to
move towards your eyes while you’re
looking at it.

make sure to wax or thread. Personal
grooming is everything.
[Jacket] Essential Black Suit Jacket.

Business
Casual
Business Casual depends on the
company culture. Make sure you
research a company before you go for
an interview, in order to know what to
wear. The store and brand does not
matter as long as your outfit fits. Make
sure you try on clothes before buying
them. Blazers are sold as high as $200,
whereas others can be as low as $75-
it’s up to you to find them. Regardless
of price, Blazers are great investments
for men AND women. Stores such as
Calvin Klein, Zara, and Levi’s have sales
in the fall. Black Friday/Cyber Monday
is a great weekend to find deals and
low prices. For sales throughout the
year, stay on top of your favorite stores’
websites and pay attention to sale signs
when you pass by shopping districts.
“Conservative Casual”
In some industries, business casual is
meant to be calm and well-reserved.
Button down shirt, slim fitting slacks/
khakis, and leather or suede shoes.
This model takes a traditional/classic
approach to Business Casual with solid
colors. His light blue shirt makes him
seem calming and laid-back. Simplicity
is key. None of these items overpower
each other. He plays it safe.
• Make sure all colors are solid.
• Appropriate industries includes
Accounting, Computer Science,
and any conservative office space.
• [Shirt] Light blue shirt equals
peace and tranquility. Uniqlo, $20
• [Pants] Grey Beige pants. Dockers,
$50
• [Belt] Leather Belt from Gap, $30
• [Shoes] Light Brown Suede Shoes
help keep this look relaxed.
Clark’s, $95
• [Watch] An optional accessory,
but it helps to add a unique touch
and subtle professionalism. Seiko
5, $60
“Color Coordinate!”
• In the age of start ups, Business
Casual gets redefined. It’s now 2014-
there is more freedom now.
• Make sure your colors match, just like
this model. He accentuates his button
down and light gray pants with the
a dark blue blazer, belt, and suede
shoes. Dark and bold colors from his
jacket and shoes complete his light
top and bottom.

effort in being presentable and classy,
and so should you.”
• Suitable for marketing and advertising
jobs, and modern startups.

Interview Etiquette
Gentlemen
1
Start with the
wide end of tie
on your right and
extended a foot below
the narrow end.
2
Cross the wide
end over the
narrow end and
turn it back underneath.
3
Bring it up and
turn it down
through the loop. 4
Pass the wide end
around the front
from left to right. 5
Then bring it up
through the loop.
6
Bring it through
the knot in front.
Then, carefully
tigten and draw it up to
your collar.
How to Tie a Tie
Add a watch and/or cuff links to
elevate your look.
Make sure you are cleanly shaved
and well groomed.
Match your belt with your shoes.
Avoid heavy cologne: you don’t want your
scent to be overpowering, but you do want
to smell good. Keep it light, fellas!
If you have piercings, play it safe and take
them off.
Avoid poor quality fabrics.
Remember: a bad fit is like a bad date:
expensive, boring, hard on the eyes, and
leaves you unsatisfied!
Ladies
Do’s & Don’t
DO
Wear natural, light
makeup: you want to
be conservative not
only with your color choice, but also with
the amount you choose to use. If you’re
wearing foundation, choose a color that
matches your skin tone exactly.
DO
Keep your hair out of
your face: while you
may think it looks nicer
open, many women play with their hair
when they are nervous, which can be
incredibly distracting. So if you have
bangs, clip them back and make sure
your face is clear of hair.
DO
Wear a smile. Be
confident and wear
your smile! Interviewers
want to see that you believe in yourself
because it gives them a reason to
believe in you!
DON’TWear too much mascara. It’s best to
avoid: too much mascara, heavy
eyeliner, bright colors (whether it be on your eyes, lips, or
nails), and anything with glitter.
DON’TWear a heavy perfume: you do not
want the scent to be too overpowering
for the interviewer. It would be best to test out the scent
before the interview. Ask a family member or friend if they
think it’s too strong or if it’s just enough.
Ladies, the main rule for makeup for an interview is less is
more! Too much and you might end up looking like you’re
ready to go partying, and you definitely don’t want that.

ADVENTUREWEEKEND
GO BEYOND
Each semester a new thrilling experience is
offered over a weekend to Baruch students.
Hiking, mountain climbing, survival camping,
and canoeing are just some of the possibili-
ties. The trips are challenging, but you will receive all the support
you need from trained staff. If you are interested in stepping
outside your comfort zone, Adventure Weekend is for you!
SERVICE LEARNING TRIP
This experience combines community service and
learning about relevant social issues into one dynamic
trip. Small groups of Baruch students led by Student
Life staff travel to cities like Washington DC, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and upstate New York. Students have
helped build houses, serve meals to the homeless,
cleanupflooddisasterzonesandprovideeducationalprograms.Addi-
tionally,theyhavelearnedaboutrelevantsocialjusticeissueslikerace,

LEADERSHIPWEEKEND
The Annual Student Leadership
Weekend is an event in the fall
semester that is open to all under-
graduate students involved in some form of leadership. Students
will participate in high energy experimential activities that will
help develop leadership skills, build confidence, character, and
expand their network. Each year a new theme is chosen based
on nationwide best practices and what is relevant to Baruch
students. Sign up early as the weekend is limited to 100 partici-
pants and fills up quickly.
T.E.A.M. BARUCH
T.E.A.M. Baruch is a student leadership development program.
This training program challenges students to learn more about
themselves through exercises that focus on team dynamics.
Successful completion of the program will provide students with
enhanced self-awareness, communication, interpersonal, conflict
resolution and mediation skills. Students are
then encouraged to apply for leadership posi-
tions around the school like: Freshmen Semi-
nar Peer Mentors, Orientation Leaders, Peers
Advocating Wellness Services (PAWS), Peers for
Careers and Peer Academic Advisors.
“The purpose of life is to actively live it. At Baruch,
you feel like everything revolves around studying
and staying up at the library. Adventure weekend
gives you the opportunity to step away from all of
that and to embrace the great outdoors.”
- Bryan Salazar, ALPFA
“Leadership Weekend is something that gives every
student the opportunity to discover their abilities as
a leader in ways they could have never imagined.”
- Connor Levens, USG President
GALLUP Strengths
Finder
Student Life works to enrich every Baruch student’s college experience in addition
to working to help them grow as leaders. Most programs administered through The
Office of Student Life will require the participants to take the GALLUP Strengths
Finder test, which will calculate the participant’s Top 5 strengths ranging from rela-
tor, intellectual, execution, and influencing attributes. This understanding of one’s
strengths will help them to discover the most fulfilling and rewarding roles for them.
Additionally, comprehension of one’s strengths will make maximizing one’s personal
and professional potential simpler and clearer.
