If I was hired by Baruch College to improve the student experience in school, I would implement the idea of a student mentor internship. Basically, Baruch requires professors to work with the students to teach them what kind of real-life job they can do with the material they are learning from class. Obviously, to be fair, the professors who partake this task should be paid for the time they give to the student. Sometimes us students take many courses without the idea of how it can be used in real life. Professors are an expert in the subject they are teaching if a student loves a subject they should also understand how this will benefit them outside of class.  This way it will reduce the risk of the idea a student wasted their four years in college for a degree which they have no idea how it will impact them in the future.
