Privacy & Confidentiality

Privacy... Trying to maintain your privacy is a difficult thing. Now a days, people have access to just about anything they want. There are all different types of computer hackers and credit card scammers out there that can hack into just about any system they want. You need to be extremely cautious when entering your social security number or credit card information on different websites. The scary thing about the internet is that you can think you deleted something but somewhere out there in the internet your information still exists. The more advanced technology and new media become the easier it is for these professional hackers to get other peoples information from.

Advice to Baruch College

My advice to Baruch College to improve it would be to create a social web page where people can go to. Brooklyn College has a Facebook page called Brooklyn College in the Know, I do not know if it was created by the college or a student but it is very useful. Students can go to it and feel comfortable sharing different issues and events. Students also go on it to get advice on different professors and courses. Students feel that they have a place to go when they are looking for advice from someone who is in the same situation as they are. I feel that all colleges should have this or something similar. It is more relaxed and easily accessible than say a student union meeting or something of that nature. I feel that students should be able to turn to their peers for advice rather than having to go to someone in charge who can not freely express themselves as a fellow student would.
