BARUCH COLLEGE— Baruch College is implementing a major email change in the middle of the academic year just weeks before the end of the semester, which is not a smart decision.
Stephen Giannotti, the vice president for information services and chief information officer at Baruch, sent out a campus-wide email on Feb. 11 informing students about upcoming changes to their current email accounts.
The email specified that over the 2026 spring break, all Baruch student email accounts would transition to CUNY email accounts, with students not needing to take action during the transitional period.
While the announcement briefly mentioned potential benefits, the timing and communication surrounding this decision are very poor.
