Advice

As Baruch College's new media consultant, I would utilize social media websites to inform students of upcoming events and gatherings. Using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media sites, students can post when club events, start a conversation, and post important dates. This would help promote school activities and get students to be more proactive during their leisure time in school. I would also create a Facebook page for each course in order for students to stay informed of exams, quizzes and homework. This will hopefully allow students to stay connected with other students and ask about difficult course topics, questions on the upcoming exam or just a comment on that day's lecture. Professors can utilize blogs by requiring that students post their assignments on their blogs for all to read. This method would get students to create work that tends to be better than work that is just submitted to the professor to read. These uses of social media at Baruch College will help Baruchians feel more united.
