say Thanks

Each day, Baruch donors make so much possible for our students, from scholarships and programs to faculty support and research opportunities. Your generosity touches every part of the Baruch experience and opens doors that change lives.

This spring, the Baruch community came together for Paws & Give Thanks Day to celebrate YOU, our generous supporters. More than 450 students shared their gratitude by writing thank-you notes and taking photos. Throughout the day, volunteers spoke with students about the impact of philanthropy and the many ways donors shape their journeys.

As part of this year's celebration, students shared heartfelt messages of gratitude. Below are just a few of their words of thanks.

Thank you so much for your generous support and continued investment in Baruch students like me. Without your contributions, many of us would not have the opportunity to pursue higher education. Because of your support, I'm able to continue my graduate studies and complete my coursework with less financial stress. Your generosity is making a real difference in my academic journey, and I'm truly grateful.

Your support, whether through scholarships, program funding, or campus resources, opens doors for students like me to learn, grow, and pursue our goals with confidence. Because of you, opportunities that might have felt out of reach become possible so thank you!

As a woman from a conservative family background, pursuing my master's degree in New York City and completing my internship at the United Nations once felt like an impossible dream. Yet, this is only the beginning of my journey and the goals I have set for myself.The path has not been easy. During my undergraduate studies, I worked hard and saved money to make this opportunity possible, especially since my family strongly believed that a woman should not move to another country on her own. Despite these challenges, I remained determined.I truly believe that when you work hard and stay committed to your dreams, God places the right people in your life to support you. Our donors have been those people in my journey. Thank you for supporting my education and helping me move closer to success.

Thank you for investing in Baruch students. Your generous contributions do not go unnoticed. Without them we wouldn't have the various scholarships, programs, and opportunities. Some of which impact me today. I believe that giving back to the schools and people who have helped build you up is very important. Someday when I graduate and become successful I can do the same. Thank you! With Gratitude, Kelleya Gee
