BARUCH COLLEGE–Baruch now has its name on the subway map. The 6 train’s 23 St. station, used by thousands of Baruch students each day with its near convenience to campus, was just renamed to “23 Street–Baruch College Station.” The new signage was unveiled at a ribbon cutting ceremony with Baruch President S. David Wu, CUNY Chancellor Felix V. Matos Rodriguez,
Metropolitan Transit Authority CEO and Chair Janno Lieber, local leaders and Baruch student leaders on Oct. 17. Signage bearing the new name is now visible at multiple 6 train entrances along 23rd Street and Park Avenue.
“We’re always open to renaming stations where there’s a significant destination, like Baruch College, right by the subway,” Lieber said in a press release. “The school is a cornerstone of not only the CUNY system but the community, and we’re proud to recognize its contributions with new signage.”
The station has become the seventh in the city to be named after a CUNY college. This group consists of the stations: Franklin Av–Medgar Evers College, President Av–Medgar Evers College, 68 St–Hunter College, 137 St–City College, Flatbush Av–Brooklyn College and Bedford Park Blvd–Lehman College.
