You are hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media?
The Walk-in hours for the undergraduate and orientation department is limited while there are a lot of students who are in need to see an advisor. During the registration period, students spend hours and hours in the waiting room. The orientation department has the option to talk with an advisor online too; however, it is only for 15 min, and you have to be lucky to find a blank spot to make an online appointment. I would like to create a group on Facebook where you can see the advisors available after office hours and also during the weekends. Because no all the students might use Facebook, I could add a section on the Baruch website that offers the same idea. The option to chat with your advisers after office hours and with no limited time.

Wow, that is an amazing idea. I see the struggles of students with plenty of questions regarding their academic future and they have to waste hours waiting to see someone for ten minutes. Great idea that could be easily implemented.
