October 2009 Honors
This month Baruch College was recognized in three distinct areas:
New Survey Spotlights Baruch’s Full-Time MBA Program
The Zicklin School’s MBA program has been ranked #65 in the 2009-2010 edition of Beyond Grey Pinstripes, a biennial survey and alternative ranking of business schools. The BGP spotlights innovative full-time MBA programs that are successfully integrating social, environmental and ethical issues into the school’s curricula and research. Beyond Grey Pinstripes is a program of the Aspen Institute, an organization dedicated to fostering value-based leadership across all sectors of society. Baruch first made the BGP list two years ago, coming in at #82. Relevant data collected in the survey as well as the entire “Global 100” list of business schools is available at www.BeyondGreyPinstripes.org
Chancellor’s Award for Math Department’s Walter Wang
Walter Wang, Lecturer in the Weissman School’s Department of Mathematics, has been honored with the 2009 CUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Mathematics Instruction. The award will be bestowed on October 29th at an Annual Reception for New Faculty, held at the CUNY Graduate Center.
SCIS Professors Tops in Research Papers
The department of Statistics and Computer Information Systems (SCIS) at Baruch College has something new to brag about. It’s just been ranked 24th out of 100 schools internationally for having SCIS professors’ research papers published in the top three journals of the information systems field. The listing, which was done by the University of Maryland, is based on the number of works published from 1999-2008. The DSCIS, which is part of the Zicklin School of Business, placed ahead of Harvard Business School at Harvard University. See the full list
