It has come to our attention that students at Baruch College and other CUNY campuses have received a message with the subject “Important Message from College Finance Department.” The message offers a “covid-19 financial aid grant.” The message is not from the College; it is a scam designed to get students to divulge their personal information. If you have received this message, please delete it. If you responded to the message and provided your personal information, please contact helpdesk@baruch.cuny.edu for assistance with changing your passwords and taking further action, if necessary. More information about Fraud and Scam Prevention can be found on the Baruch website.

The Office of Student Life is hosting a Competition for a new student-led Media Organization.

This organization will provide students with the opportunity to explore media outlets, such as print, digital/online, broadcast, social media, multimedia and streaming services, to create content and develop their skillset.
