1. Establishing a Successful Programming Board in Baruch College as part of USG.
Currently I am a senator in the undergraduate student government and one of the things our government did was start a programming board like most other colleges have, but Baruch does not. This was the stepping stone to what I hope to be something much bigger and grandeur. There were recently elections for next years USG and I managed to win a seat and with that seat I hope to take charge of the programming board. One of the things I want the programming to do is bring in an A-list artist to perform at Baruch because our school doesn't have a good track record of bringing in these artists for exposure. We almost managed to do that this year but it didn't work out because of funds. However with the student activity free increase, there will be a lot more money for concerts of this sort to happen. I hope to have set some kind of precedent with this programming board.
2. Travel the the countries on my "To Visit List"
This may be generic and probably on many peoples lists, but it is something I really want to do. My first goal to accomplish this is studying abroad in Australia next winter or working abroad in Turkey next winter. Either of these will be a stepping stone to keep on crossing names of countries of my list. My lists goes from famous well known tourists places such as France and Spain to lesser known destinations like Nepal. I guess a top three for me would consist of Egypt, New Zealand and Greece(as of right now). It would help if I made decent money in the future to accomplish all this traveling of course.
3. Getting a job at a top-marketing firm.
Again, pretty generic but I suppose college is to help you get to these places. As an international marketing major I'm still sort of all over the place of exactly what I want to do, so I guess the first step would be to sit down and really think about what aspect of marketing I want to focus on. Advertising is where I'm leaning now, but I have to continue to research different firms, network and build my resume so I when I apply, I'll be as ready as I can be.

I'm a marketing major myself, and I have also felt confused sometimes as to what field within that I'd like to go into. But I think the key to finding that out is to try as many different internships as possible. Because even though school obviously is very important, it's in the work place you will figure out where you want to go, and how to get there. I like the fact that you're aiming high! Not only do you want a good job within your field but at a top-marketing firm. I think it's important to aim for the top. And by keeping your grades up and going for the most interesting internships, I'm sure you will get there:)
I'm one of the people with a "To Visit List". I can't afford to travel at the moment either, but I'm intending to max my credit cards after I pass the CPA to fund my trips as a reward to myself. I figure that being in debt would motivate me to search harder for a job once I return. I don't think that's the greatest advice, but I think we should all the see world before we devote our lives to our jobs. >=]
Traveling is a great goal. I have many friends who have graduated college and have taken atleast a month off of work to travel a few countries. They all rave about their great experiences, I hope you will too. I'm sure you'll find plenty of opportunities in the international marketing field that you will be able to succeed in.

I love your list of visiting places. I also want to study abroad, but I'm not sure where tho. And I really like your idea of bringing some top artists to have concerts at Baruch. In my two years here I don't even know if we even had a concert here. Good luck with your ventures.
I also have a "To Visit List", hehe. Why New Zealand though? I never really had an incentive to want to go to New Zealand until I found out that's where they filmed Lord of the Rings. :D
England was on my list and I've been there so I should cross it out, but it is one of those places that I never want to cross off my list. London was amazing! You should add London to your list.
