Baruch College has been already using new media to improve itself. Baruch has its accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to share news and update any information for students to know. Also, each class has a group on Facebook where classmates help each other regarding homework or registration. Baruch's Advisement office also uses an electronic system for appointments. Not to mention, several clubs have their own pages on social media sites where events and opportunities are shared.
However, despite being so much digital Baruch struggles in several ways. For example, even though Baruch shares events and news on their pages, but it fails to spread to the whole student body. To avoid this, Baruch can host giveaways where the person with the most number of shares would receive a gift. Similarly, although clubs are using social media sites, they still print out fliers to post it on the bulletin boards. To me, this is simply a waste of paper. Since clubs are already using media pages, they should try to utilize it to the very best and cut the wastage of paper. They should be introduced to a new rule such as: A club would only get a limited amount of paper to use. Hence, all communication regarding events and meetings should be online. Additionally, the advisement office uses online appointments but it is always full before registration opens each semester. To avoid this traffic, advisement should use video conferencing to provide their service to students. This way, students will get their necessary advice remotely and the traffic of students waiting on the line would decrease drastically.
