Celebrating Fall 2021 Baruch College’s campus is once again buzzing with activity! While many returning students reunited with friends, other students stepped onto campus for the first time. Baruch faculty and staff volunteered their time for Days of Welcome on the Clivner=Field Plaza for students. They were joined by CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez, Baruch President S. David Wu, USG President Alison Lee, and members of the undergraduate student government to engage with Baruch students and celebrate our community.
