You will recognize “The Bernard L. Schwartz Communication Institute’s mission is to infuse oral, written and computer-mediated communication into the curriculum at Baruch College.” from the Center’s home page. BLSCI is at least one of perhaps several centers at Baruch that focuses on excellence in communication.
BLSCI, it seems to me, is a center for members of the Institute, and Baruch faculty and students. The Institute’s BAC (Business Advisory Council) and the Annual Symposium attracts limited involvement from the business community, but certainly the claim cannot be made that BLSCI is a center for the business community.
My sense is that BLSCI and the business community are missing out on a relationship of potentially significant mutual value. This is, of course, a hypothesis. One might argue that the somewhat low level of business involvement disproves the hypothesis.
I’m not so easily persuaded.
I’ve been noodling on this notion for some time and want to raise it as a discussion topic.
