Advice

Because Baruch College is a commuter school there isn't as much community feeling as in other schools. I would recommend that Baruch use social media to create a community so that people can feel connected even if they are going home at the end of the day.

I would also suggest that Baruch create a dynamic site in which students can anonymously rate professors (like ratemyprofessor). This would help the school know which professors are popular and what issues students are having. It would lend to more transparency within the school.

    I think that having a separate rate my professor site just for Baruch students would be cool! An app would also be nice to have too. This could help many students and help with transparency.

Social Networking

Social networks can be an amazing thing for society. It allows for everyone to have a voice and for people to connect with friends who may live at great distance. That being said, there is an ugly side to social networks. There is a vast amount of bullying that goes on between young people on the web. People hiding behind their computers feel safe to say things that they would never say in person. The NYT article, "Antisocial Networking" points out that young people are verbally communicating less and less and are more likely to text a friend than call them. As amazing as texting is, for a quick word, things can often get lost or misconstrued when written. In addition, there are some safety and privacy concerns that arise with social networking. In the cybersecurity and usability fields there is something known as the privacy paradox, that is that people express concerns about privacy but don't necessarily take steps to protect their privacy. Moreover there is a huge tra...
