Advice to Brooklyn College

If I were hired by Brooklyn College, there would be a number of things I would have them change.

1. Social Media- I would increase their presence on social media websites by about 9 billion percent. There is literally zero presence on any of the social media websites and if their is one, its unrelatable to the average student, impersonal, and lack any substance. If I were in charge I would constantly be interacting with students and having contests for specific prizes. One of the most important things about college if not THE most important parts is learning how to network and gaining a good connection with your school. At its core, that all social media sites aim to want. I would post on Twitter more than when there is only a snow-day or a program, I would Tweet to students, post different contests like a daily trivia question about the school wins a ten dollar gift card to Starbucks. In short, there are many ways to improve their presence.

2. Modernization of the use of texts within the school- Every time I go to the school I cannot believe the amount of paper they waste on syllabuses, texts, tests, and other handouts. Although I can honestly say I am not an environmentalist, I can say I am someone who believes its time for a modernization. We live in a time where you can send an email and receive it in less than a second, so why not use it? I would tell Brooklyn College to buy each student some tablet and have the teachers send all documents to that tablet. This will not only fare well for the environment but will save the school money in the long run.
