Baruch's mission to change

Baruch is looking toward doing some image remodeling as the Faculty Senate approved a new mission statement on Thursday.

The statement, which was introduced by Faculty Senate Chair Terry Martell, will replace the one currently used and was worked on by various members of the senate.

The older statement focused on the general realities of Baruch, pointing out that it will put emphasis on both graduate and undergraduate studies.

The new statement explores the purpose and intent of the college, saying that it "remains dedicated to being a catalyst for the social, cultural, and financial mobility of a diverse student body, reflective of its historical mission."

It goes on to summarize the goals of each of Baruch's schools and puts its comment in writing. All students will be afforded a rigorous education in bachelor, masters and doctorate programs.

"The idea of career advancement, the idea of changing is in part, what we do," said Martell, describing the new mission statement.
