On Dec. 2 and 6, respectively, the New York Times ran stories that, in part, delved into the subjects' quintessential Baruch backgrounds:

Merchan ('90), who immigrated from Colombia at age 6 and began working odd jobs at age 9 to help support his family and, ultimately, put himself through Baruch and law school.


Community Highlights

  *   For the third consecutive year, Baruch College's Master of Financial Engineering program is ranked #1<https://newscenter.baruch.cuny.edu/news/baruchs-mfe-program-once-again-ranked-nations-best-by-quantnet/> in the nation by QuantNet.

Set to instrumental music, the reel features familiar Baruch places and scenes-students socializing on the Clivner=Field Plaza, walking along Lexington Avenue, and relaxing in Madison Square Park. New York City is truly our campus!

Capturing positive comments and 510 likes, this glimpse into life at Baruch was a hit with followers.
