Dining at a Beijing restaurant savoring

Peking duck or Jiaozi dumplings will

not only boost your endorphins but

also your resume and job prospects.

Many U.S. employers expect jobseekers

to have training in multiple languages

and cultures. That expectation puts

graduates with study abroad

experience ahead

of the employment

curve. Baruch’s savvy

students know this.

Our Study Abroad Office,

which is located in the Weissman

Center for International Business, con-

tinues to attract a vast number of students

with diverse backgrounds and interests.

Each year more than 300 Baruchians

take advantage of the program and travel

to different parts of the world—from

Argentina to Senegal, Beijing to Zurich,

Chulalongkorn University in Thailand to

Oxford University in England—for a

once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Baruch’s athletic teams—

nicknamed the Bearcats—won

six CUNY Athletic Conference

(CUNYAC) championships (men’s

volleyball, women’s basketball,

women’s cross country, men’s

and women’s swimming, and

softball) and finished in second

place in three other sports (baseball, women’s tennis, and women’s

volleyball) to help round off a successful 2009–10 athletics year.

The softball team won its first championship in school

history. Melissa Pena (W.C. Bryant HS) was named

the CUNYAC MVP of the championship tourna-

ment, while freshman Nicole Flint

(Brentwood HS) was named

the CUNYAC Rookie of

the Year.

The men’s volleyball

team won its fourth CUNYAC championship in the

past five years. Juniors Eryk Kowalski (Zabno,

Poland) and Pablo Oliveira (Uberlandia, Brazil)

earned the highest individual distinction in intercollegiate

athletics by each being named All-Americans. The volleyball

team also finished the season ranked #7 nationally in the final

NCAA Division III poll.

The women’s basketball team record-

ed its sixth straight season of winning 21

games or more behind the efforts of league

MVP Monique Salmon (Harry S. Truman

HS) and league all-star Megan Bouwens

(Lakeland HS, Michigan).

Off the field (or in this case, out of the

water), men’s swimmer Justin Wong

(Stuyvesant HS) (above left) was named

the 2010 CUNYAC Male Scholar-Athlete of

the Year. Justin earned a 3.74 GPA and captained the team to its

first CUNYAC championship ever.

“In my estimation,

Baruch has the potential to be one of the best

President Mitchel Wallerstein.

Baruch is on an unstoppable race to the top

of nationwide college ratings, most of which

are determined from a pool of over 3,000

four-year institutions.
