Every Baruchian – past, present, and future – passes through the doors of “17 Lex”. The campus building, on the corner of 23rd Street is the site where the Free Academy, the first free public institution of higher education in the nation, once stood.
Founded in 2007, with an annual donation of $1,000 or more, 17 Lex Society members are leaders in creating the opportunities necessary to build on our, and your, tradition of changing lives for the better. Society members are invited to an annual reception with Baruch College President and listed on the Honor Roll. In addition, members are invited to signature Baruch events, VIP alumni events, and get the opportunity to network with prestigious Baruch alumni and friends.
