Returning to Campus

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

Welcome back from Spring Break. I hope you enjoyed the warm weather and had the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. The close of the academic year is fast approaching—with only two weeks remaining until the end of classes.

As we near the end of the semester and look forward to celebrating the Class of 2024 at Barclays Center on May 28, I encourage our community to uphold Baruch’s longstanding commitment of care and respect.

These are complex and emotional times. Providing a safe learning, teaching, and work environment where there can be a respectful and civil exchange of ideas is Baruch College’s top priority.

We are closely monitoring on-campus activity to ensure classroom learning is uninterrupted and that the safety and well-being of Baruch’s students, faculty, and staff are protected.
