Newman Vertical Campus Floor Restoration

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

As the campus community prepares for the upcoming semester break, I wanted to provide a timely update on the ongoing terrazzo flooring replacement project taking place in the Newman Vertical Campus (NVC).

This project, which is managed by the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY), has progressed into an open circulation area of the NVC. To minimize the impact of construction in this high-traffic area, DASNY intends to complete most of the work by the end of December while building use is lower.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging: Central Tenets of the Baruch Experience

Dear Baruch Students, Faculty, and Staff,

My heart is heavy as I reach out to our community to reinforce central tenets of the Baruch experience: diversity, inclusion, and belonging. In recent days, two incidents of antisemitism have been reported that are under investigation. These incidents occurred both on our campus and in virtual environments; they are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. All Baruch students, faculty, and staff are entitled to learn, work, and thrive in an environment where they can be open about their identities

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy

Dear Baruch Community,

It is my honor to connect us all in celebrating the landmark life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday will be observed nationally on Monday. Dr. King’s name is synonymous with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, but today as much as then, his convictions, strength, and dreams provide wisdom and hope for the tumultuous time we are in as a nation.

My December Blog: “Find Your Own Reason for the Journey”

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

I spent a good portion of last month holding a series of small, in-person meetings with more than 60 College senior staff. These free-flowing conversations covered a variety of topics—from pressing resource issues and challenges from the past year, to hopes and dreams for the future. These meetings gave me the opportunity to have direct communication with our staff and allowed me to listen and understand their concerns and aspirations. While I appreciate the efficiency of Zoom meetings, I realized from these
