Sigma Alpha Delta invites you to attend Sigma Alpha Delta's (Sigma) annual Career Dinner. The Sigma Career Dinner is an opportunity for undergraduate students to ask important career questions, as well as hear the professional perspectives and lessons from business leaders.

If you are interested in accounting, financial services, actuarial science, political science, globalization, real estate or the natural sciences, this is the perfect opportunity to evaluate different career options. Make the most of this opportunity and be prepared to ask your questions during our 15-20 minute question and answer period with the professionals.

Join Sigma on Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room (1-107). Dinner will be served from 7:00 - 7:30 p.m., formal attire and reservations are required. Please RSVP to careerdinner@sigmabaruch.org, as seating is limited.

Some of the speakers will include Peter Tyndale, Director of Finance and on the Council of Foreign Relations, he has worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers (Jamaica) and Ernst & Young (USA). Among his academic successes, Tyndale, received his BBA from Baruch College.

Gil Bar-Nahum, director of Investment Bank Global Healthcare Group, will also be joining the dinner. Dr. Bar-Nahum assesses the potential value of up and coming privately owned Biotechnology or Pharmaceutical businesses and advises and executes Mergers and Acquisitions, initial public offerings and other financing.

Other speakers include Eugene Chan, Senior Tax Manager of Real Estate Group and David Turetzky, VP of District Sales Manager Global Wealth Management for Morgan Stanley.

When you decide to get more involved in school activities and want to take advantage of an invitation to an honor society, what do you expect going in to their first general meeting? Maybe you will expect to find out their requirements. Maybe you will expect to meet the officers who run the society. Maybe they will tell you about the events and programs that you can or must take part in. Most likely you will think, "All of this is great, but I do not feel very included and I do not think that I can really make a difference here." After one meeting, you will realize the huge impact you're making on society as well as yourself.

Sigma always welcomes you to stop by their room in the club area on the third floor, room 3-249 and say hello to their many officers.

Sigma Alpha Delta has an incredible history of innovation. Many of the programs of Baruch and organizations that students use today have originated in Sigma. Some of the innovative programs of our history are today known as VITA, The Book Exchange and SACC just to name a few.

Sigma is one of Baruch's oldest and only nationally funded societies that is dedicated solemnly to serving the Baruch students and the community. Ever since it was created in 1932, it was known as a place for personal development, breaking barriers and success.

Sigma is known for is prestige and services provided to its members. Its members come from very diverse backgrounds and are known in the society for a very broad scope of talents. Some of these talents include an ability to lead and organize events, successfully advertise and a plentiful knowledge of computers and their systems.

Some of the names of honorary members that are easily recognizable are Supreme Court Justice, Felix Frankfurter, NY mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, legendary Dean of Baruch, Dr. Emmanuel Saxe, discoverer of the Salk vaccine against polio, Dr. Jonas Edward Salk and of course Bernard Baruch himself.
