Advice to Baruch College

     Communication is one of the five main aspects of new media. In any community, communication is essential. This concept can be applied to improve Baruch College in many ways. For example, students need to be able to communicate with their classmates, professors, advisors, and administrators. With so many people in the Baruch College community, it can be difficult for individuals to stay in communication with the right people, especially when they have to deal with advisors and administrators. Administrators in Baruch College often have to help many students with different issues and it becomes very difficult for them to tend to everyone. Many students have small problems that have quick and simple solutions, but the people who can help them have so many other students to help that it can be overwhelming. Also, sometimes students go to the wrong person for help because it is not clear what their problem really is. Another issue is that sometimes students are not available at times that certain offices are open or when certain people are in their office. Trying to resolve simple problems becomes a hassle. To fix this problem, Baruch should have a specific online help center where students can post their questions, and school administrators and even other students with the same problem can direct them to the correct department so that they can more quickly resolve their issues. If everyone in Baruch can collaborate together to solve problems, then solutions would be found more efficiently and effectively.
