Join acclaimed writing Danny Senna on December 1 at 5:45 PM in the Newman Conference Center, Room 750 (Library building).  Senza’s most recent book is Where Did You Sleep Last Night? — a compelling memoir that traces her mixed roots: her blue-blood, white mother’s family (the Howes of Boston) and her black activist father’s family, the Sennas. In the book, she reconstructs a long-buried family mystery that illuminates her own childhood, her enigmatic father, the power and failure of her parents’ union and, finally, the forces of history. See you there!

Macaulay Honor College hosts first ever Arts/Science Day.

Sublimation, Freud says, creates both art and science. And yet how do these two seemingly binary opposites interplay? Can science inspire art? Can art influence science? We invite artists and scientists at Macaulay to explore and discuss these topics with our four lecturers, all of whom weave science and art in their daily lives.

Students not only passionate about work in arts and sciences, but also excited about the dynamic tango between art and science, are welcome to join us for a what will certainly be an electrifying and thought-provoking day! Lunch will be served.

Dear Students,

The Starr Career Development Center seeks to provide the highest quality service for Baruch College students. We are continually reviewing our workshop offerings and trying to assess their effectiveness. In an effort to evaluate the seminars, we will be conducting a series of focus groups with our students. We would love your feedback about how to improve our workshops!

Would you be willing to meet for approximately 60-90 minutes with 10-12 of your classmates and a representative from the Starr Career Development Center to discuss your experience in our workshops? We are interested in your honest impression of the workshops – what works and what does not work. Please be assured that nothing you say will be revealed. Even your participation in the focus group will remain confidential. If you have never attended a workshop, we would still value your opinion on how best to market them to the Baruch student population and what topics we should consider adding to our existing schedule.

As a token of our gratitude, your participation will make you eligible for a raffle drawing to win one of several $25 gift cards to be used at the bookstore. Please reply to  Lisa.OConnor at baruch.cuny.edu and state the dates and times that work best for you. Since we anticipate focus group slots filling up quickly, please indicate your first and second choices, and we will attempt to schedule you at one of your preferred times. Thank you for your consideration.

Focus Group Dates:

Monday, November 30, 2009 2:00-4:00pm
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 12:30-2:00pm
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:30-2:00pm

Management theorists have said time and again that intelligence without proper communication skills is not a winning combination for employees. Good communication skills will help you land a job and then keep that job.You can’t beat the facts–no matter how smart you are: If you can’t communicate, you’re going to have trouble.

The Macaulay Business Club and Macaulay Literati Club present to you two professionals who will guide you through specific communication situations and advise on how to smoothly navigate through them.

The event will take place on Wednesday November 18th from 6:30 to 8:30pm at the Macaulay Honors College building located on 35 West 67th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. If interested, please RSVP at http://www.macaulay.cuny.edu/rsvp/?q=node/252

Food will be served.

Michael Sandel is one of Harvard’s most revered professors. He has just published a new book, Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do? (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2009). The book and Sandel’s lectures are the focus of a new PBS TV series; hence a series of public interviews (Today Show, Charlie Rose, etc.), a major piece in the New York Times (on September 25), and a national speaking tour that includes Baruch.

Sandel will speak on Thursday, November 19, at 7 pm in Mason Hall.

Sandel’s presentation, which is co-sponsored by the Provost’s Office and by The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity, is free and open to the public. Please come and please RSVP…
