Advice

As an employee of Baruch college on the verge of improving new media, I would create multiple apps accessible to all students of our college. For example, students often want to be notified of networking opportunities and job fairs. If possible, I would create an app specifically for Starr which would allow mobile friendly, simple access to students when downloaded. This saves a lot of time from finding a computer to log on to, or trying to find your way around the website on a phone which isn't mobile friendly. Another possible benefit to this app could be saving your resume and using a "one touch" application; a function where you can send your application in simply one touch.

Another app I would create would be a sort of Facebook, dedicated to only Baruch Students. Not only would this allow easier communication, it would be an opportunity to network.Not all students are comfortable asking their peers for a number or email, but in this platform, they would definitely be comfortable knowing that the app functions for this purpose. Users (students) would be able to chat, and post entries all relating to Baruch. There could possibly be groups formed, based on classes, where students can easily upload and share notes, and ask each other questions. As the need for information is in demand based on the topic, more apps could be created to allow easy access.
