Many of the Baruch Media are pretty good, though it could be better. It did help many students fostering their community and know what is going on in school. For example, Blackboard did help us with our communication. Though it is a useful tool for learning, it is pretty outdated. It could be better if there are interacting chat rooms where online people can share their information. The forwarding messages are saved in there for their next visits. It should show who is online and who is not. Since many students use twitters, blogs, Facebook and etc, it could be better if it is linked to blackboard right away through linking system. Even professors might have a better way of knowing when and who posted just by going on blackboard.
Baruch networking can also try to improve the problems by having its own forum where students can discuss about their problems or school related issues. It could be helpful. Lectures, notes, projects, group work, presentation, and other issues can be discussed there. Communication might even improve. Although there are risks to take, it is worth a try.
Communication is key in solving most of the issues we face at Baruch, and I do agree with you that Baruch students need to have a forum where they can voice their concerns and be heard by Baruch academic committee. I hear students complain about issues they face and how they relay these problems to the committee but yet nothing is done. You make a valid point here.
