Sykaljery’s Picks for Financial Crisis Movies
Hey all, I’m going to start a brief blog-mini-series for movies on the financial crisis. Despite the media fatigue that many of us feel about the financial crisis that’s been occurring in slow motion for the last two years, I believe it is of incredible importance that we continue to learn as much as possible … Continue reading
New Staff
Hi all, my name is Jeremy Sykes, a graduate student in Accounting at the Zicklin School, and I’ve joined the GradBaruchian Staff. I’m hoping to post on a variety of subjects, as well as to edit some of the posts of our more junior staff writers. My subjects of interest are accounting and economics, as … Continue reading
After Hours at Zicklin — Sesion IV
A small group gathered to enjoy a beautiful summer evening at Cavatappo. The conversation drifted from power (what is it, who has it and how to cultivate it) to a subject defining many developed countries, especially China — small families. The topic started from a recent spot on WNYC’s Leonard Lopate Show called (L)Only Child. … Continue reading
When a handshake is not a handshake
At the conclusion of a recent exam exiting students shook the professor’s hand, but only some. Those without handshakes were women. Men left and gave their appreciation and a hearty professional handshake to the professor. Women who extended their hands were left only with an air of awkwardness and no handshake. The professor kept strict … Continue reading
The rad scientist
The April 25th issue of Crains NY featured an article “The Rad Scientist” about the Matthew Goldstein, the head honcho of the CUNY system if you didn’t know. Recent times have seen him push to elevate the profile of the CUNY system. Namely to pursue cutting edge research. More research is great, but I see Baruch … Continue reading
To furlough or not furlough
Today faculty received notices that the NY legislature enacted and the government signed a furlough of state workers. That includes our professors at Baruch. Soon enough the unions (including PSC to which same professors belong) filed for a restraining order. Judge Kahn in district court issued the order this afternoon according to the New York … Continue reading
Productivity
One vivid memory from my otherwise unmemorable high school career was carrying the school’s bleachers from the west field across the school parking lot to the east field. No not by myself, but all the boys in gym class. The thirty of us, under the direction of our gym teacher, picked up the seemingly immoveable … Continue reading
After Hours at Zicklin — Session III
Choose one word to describe the business person you think you are. Integrity, Innovative, Communicative, Decisive, Creative, Collaborative et al attended the third session of AHZ. That was the just beginning. You weren’t off the hook with just one word. Back ups and explanations were required — a segue to that 30-second pitch. With spring … Continue reading
From the ashes . . .
The recent (and I might add historic) vote by Baruch Grad students to increase the supplemental fee (aka the party tax) by ten dollars has passed. Congrats to Mosharaf Shamin, Andres Garcia and the GSA team on their hard work to make it happen. The new tax, er, fee will go from $29 to $39. … Continue reading
The Graduate Voice Lives
Tuesday, March 2nd saw a few dedicated souls gather to see if something could be done to revive the Graduate Voice. Baruch last saw an update to the blog back in May. There is no reason that Baruch should not have an online presence where fellow students can see the goings on of other students. … Continue reading
