Ascend Baruch has a vast professional network that allows us to host many corporate events. This allows our members to learn about the business world while building their professional network.
The Marketing Committee devises marketing strategies to increase Ascend's presence on campus. Members will design flyers, manage Ascend's social media platforms, design exclusive merchandise, and learn how to use marketing tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and Canva.
The Technology Committee maintains Ascend's website and launches features to better convey the range of opportunities available at Ascend. Members will build foundational knowledge in coding and programming and learn how to use industry standard tools such as Github and Slack.
The Fundraising Committee hosts the fundraisers that make other Ascend Events possible. Members will brainstorm creative ideas for fundraisers, create fundraising materials, and connect with students to inform them about what it means to be a part of the Ascend community.
The Professional Committee plans professional development events including resume/cover letter workshops, networking sessions, and professional panels. Members will have the chance to attend exclusive office visits and learn about different professional opportunities.
The Legacy Leadership Program (LLP) is an intensive 10-week career development and mentorship program, where mentees go through a series of high-level workshops and training to become young professionals. LLP provides the necessary tools to enhance leadership and gain insight into the business world including resume-writing, networking, public speaking, case study management, stock pitch and start-up presentation. Through one-to-one mentorship, mentees have the opportunity to build a bond with their mentors and improve professional communication skills.
According to the 2019 Stackoverflow Developers survey, Python is the most demanded language in the workforce for the third year in a row. In this 8-week series of python workshops, you'll grasp the fundamentals of programming concepts by working closely with other committee members to tackle weekly coding challenges. Throughout the course, you’ll use industry-leading tools like Visual Studio to code, Git and Github to collaborate, and Slack to communicate. But more importantly, you'll acquire essential programming skills that will give you a competitive edge in any industry.
We believe that social interaction is just as important as professional involvement. Not only do we have weekly club events, but we also offer large scale social outings.
