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.

The next step for me is to find research that discusses the link between twitter and the degradation of language, as well as res...
