Advice

Attending and graduating from college is a respected accomplishment. Nothing about going to school is easy, so it would definitely be nice if campuses made things easier on their students. I personally am an active user of Blackboard and I have been fortunate enough to have my professors update Blackboard consistently. However, I do wish that Blackboard had a app. School email is linked to the site and you do get notifications when content is added, but it is never anything useful. It would be great to get helpful notifications when homework is posted, syllabi’s are changed, future readings or assignments are added, etc. 

Baruch specifically, has a great campus and I am proud student but it does have room for improvement. There is so much going on at Baruch that it is impossible to keep up! There are so many clubs, tons of events, and loads of activities but there is really no productive way of keeping up with everything. Baruch can definitely benefit from having an app; An app where a school event calendar is available, a listings of clubs and any important notifications (like entrances being closed requiring an extra 4 minutes to get to class!). Yes we do get tons of emails and fliers from the school but it can be overwhelming and just too much sometimes. We already have Twitter and Instagram so why not an app?
