My August Blog: “Reimagining Higher Education—and Baruch—in a New Normal”

 

Dear Baruch Community, 

 

As we begin the new semester and an unprecedented new academic year, I am sharing with you my second blog post, entitled “Reimagining Higher Education—and Baruch—in a New Normal <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=80G_ZLndiUagQWKXeA0ldA&ref_id=e5b5vePIyUibvgfc5i30fQ> .” 

 

While we are not alone in the current struggle to adapt to an ever-changing environment, we at Baruch have an opportunity to be at the forefront of reimagining higher education in this country.

 

Among the questions I pose for you to consider and respond to:

*         Why do we need to reimagine higher education? Can we use this moment to conceive learning differently? 

*         How do we create a holistic approach toward admitting, educating, and serving students that facilitates positive outcomes and transformation?

*         How can we more effectively address student needs in an off-campus, virtual learning environment? 

*         How will innovation and community partnership come together to shape Baruch’s future? 

 

I invite you to read the post in its entirety here <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=80G_ZLndiUagQWKXeA0ldA&ref_id=e5b5vePIyUibvgfc5i30fQ>  and subscribe, comment, like, and sign up for notifications. In that spirit, I also encourage you to engage with the Task Force for the Future <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=5Bjoi3yb5U-SAsAynr3ziQ&ref_id=e5b5vePIyUibvgfc5i30fQ>  by contributing your best ideas. 

 

All of these dialogues and conversations will help us emerge as a community even stronger, and more resilient, than ever.

 

Sincerely,

 

S. David Wu

President, Baruch College
