A Community’s Resilience Marked
Stay Social
To commemorate the somber one-year anniversary of the unprecedented campus shutdown in response to Covid-19, Baruch College joined other CUNY campuses in flying flags at half-staff as a sign of respect and mourning and to emphasize Baruch’s and CUNY’s ongoing resilience.
Pictured here, from Baruch’s Instagram account <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=XSS6PsfSW0qDFrz7vbaD3A&ref_id=C59W7IOGE06tL3jfL5-77w> , is the flag outside the historic Field Building at 17 Lexington Avenue on Thursday, March 11, the commemoration date. The Baruch community responded to this poignant gesture and message of hope with strong engagement across all of the College’s channels.
