Freshman Seminar @ Baruch College
So.. I needed one more workshop, the personal enrichment and there just happened to be none left before the end of the semester, so I oked an extra career planning whih i was not to excited about. So 12:30 comes around and I can’t find the stupid room so I tried the multi purpose room since thats where they usually get moved to anyways and there was a meeting going on in there. I am soooo glad I found that. That was by far the best personal enrichment I have gone to. It was about ending human trafficking and it really pushed me outside my comfort zone. I plan to get involved in this group and even start going to their club meetings on thursday. Great experience!

Center for Academic Advisement
1-2pm November 4,2009
The workshop was about the imporatance of communication not only between our peers but the teacher and possible recruiters. The presenters pointed out that writing is a another part of aommunication which is also very imporatant. I chose this workshop because it sounded informing and I know communication is imporatant in any career. The presenters also told us about different clubs that are avilabe to strngthen our communicationg ability such as toastmasters. Classes that are important to pay attention in are english.. the writing courses and communications. I would recommend this workshop to everyone because communication is an imporatant part of any career.

This was my final workshop. I’m actually going to miss them. Only some of them. Our instructor was Mrs.Conway. She was really nice and professional. She didn’t make the workshop into one of those boring informational workshops. I was interested the entire time. It opened my eye up to the made different programs Baruch offer and internships I can apply for. They gave us a workbook of a sort to help us. I’m actually going to put it to use unlike the others. I didn’t know I was suppose to RSVP before the workshop but thank god not many showed up. Therefore i was able to attend. Everyone seemed engaged in the workshop.

This workshop wasn’t the one I orginally planned on attending but it was the second to last one. The workshop I wanted to go to was suppose to take place last week friday. I actually was in school on friday only to find out the workshop was canceled at last minute. The stress and anxiety reduction wasn’t bad. I felt out of my element most of the time but it has taught me how to manage my stress a little bit. Hopefully it will actually work in the long run.

Today I went to a workshop on career internship which was hosted by one of the STARR members. It was very infomative on internships and gave me an idea on how to start early in college. It also came with this handy handbook on the proper internships, how to set my goal, resume writing, etc. This was by far the most important and most helpful workshop I have been to yet. Sorry I couldnt make it to the last FRO class but that you Choi and Adam for guiding me along the way

On Tuesday, Oct.13.2009, I attended this workshop, in VC 3-215 @ 12:50-2pm. I can say that i did benefit from this workshop. The facilitator brought up the matter concerning facebook. She said that employers, nagivate network sites to get information on their future workers. She mentioned that we need to be careful with what we make public. She had a power point ready on how we are supposed to be dressed, and the importance of being early to a interview. She refered to a time when she was on her way to an interview and it was a rain storm that day. Being about 30 minutes early, she was able to have time to clean her self up. She also gave us info in mock interviews and the workshops we need to attend to receive such services.

On Tuesday, Nov.3.2009, I attended the Stress and Anxiety workshop which was held in the multipurpose room from 1pm to 2pm. I thought the workshop was a waste of my time. It was extremely boring. First the facilitators did an exercise with us using a raisin. We had to feel the raisin in our palms and our mouths. Then they had us bite into the raisin. The showed us ways on how to solve a problem. They also demostrated how to relieve stress, for examble holding your shoulders up and then releasing them. I have tried it after the fact and I was relieved at all. I did not get anything out of the workshop. I could have spent 60 minutes doing something else.
