STUDENT CENTER

Suha Chaudhury, Macaulay @ Baruch ’23, knew that she wanted to help people and give back to her community, but wasn’t sure how to do it. Finding Swipe Out Hunger and becoming a Student Navigator has been the perfect opportunity to do just that. Suha is Baruch’s Honors Student Council president and looks forward to using everything she’s learned to apply to Law school!

Suha’s advice: “Get active in the CUNY community! Whether this be through clubs or outside organizations, being active is the best way to develop your interpersonal skills and create new networks.”
