Beginning Fall 2013, Rutgers Business School’s
Undergraduate Program in New Brunswick offers a minor in Business
Administration. The 18-credit minor consists of 6 three-credit introductory courses
covering each of RBS’s disciplinary areas. This combination provides a
substantial and comprehensive overview of the major aspects of business
administration.
To enroll in the minor, students must be in good academic
standing and have successfully completed Statistics
1 (01:960:211) or Introductory
Statistics for Business (01:960:285).
The required courses to complete the minor are:
1)
Financial
Accounting (33:010:272)

Subject: Opportunity For Your Students,
Dear M. Skouboe,
You may already be familiar with Teach For America ( a lot of RU seniors end up joining Teach for America after graduation) but just in case you haven't heard of us, Teach For America is a post-graduate job opportunity open to recent college graduates from all academic backgrounds and majors. Through the program, one teaches for two years in a low income community to provide the students within those communities the inspiring and empowering education they deserve.
While last year we saw more Rutgers students than ever accepted into Teach For America, we're always trying to raise awareness and offer Rutgers students more opportunities. I was hoping you might be able to spread the word, perhaps with a major related listserv email? I am including a copy of a possible listserv in case you are interested.
If you have any questions or concerns that you'd like addressed before making any formal commitment I'm more than happy to answer them. IF you do decide to send out the email, I'd really appreciate it if you BCC'd me on the email so that I can have a record of it for my manager.
Thanks so much for your time!
All the Best,
Rohini Bhaumik

Looking forward to our summer and fall terms, we are accepting applications now and want to find the next environmental leaders from your campus and community. We are looking for students who want to:
- Learn the practical skills of environmental activism, effective communication, leadership, and strategic campaigning in a supportive environment
- Travel to witness environmental destruction first hand and put new knowledge to use
- Get necessary experience that can give them a foot in the door to a career in environmental or social change
Will you forward this email to your department or program list or to individual students who are a good fit for the Greenpeace Semester? You can also tell us about great students we should contact at usa-semester@greenpeace.org.

More on NJPIRG
Students have stood on the front lines of important social movements, from civil rights to gay rights to antiwar efforts. U.S. PIRG
campus organizers tap student idealism and energy, and help student volunteers and activists turn their concerns into effective action.
Campus organizers work on three to six campaigns in a semester, such as working to pass clean energy legislation, increasing youth
voter turnout on campus, fighting hunger and homelessness in the local community, and other important public interest campaigns.
The role of a campus organizer is two-fold: to achieve concrete social change and to develop the next generation of leaders. Through
this approach, campus organizers build the kind of power it takes to solve our country’s current problems while ensuring that their
legacy continues well into the future.
Responsibilities include:
Recruiting and training volunteers on grassroots tactics, media outreach and more
Teaching an internship class on activism skills
Building relationships with faculty and administrators
Holding events with decision-makers
Generating the grassroots support it takes to win campaigns
Fundraising and building the organization by canvassing for portions of the year, in addition to running a citizen outreach
office in the summer months
Qualifications:
Strong work ethic
Outstanding verbal and written communication
Proven leadership skills
Strong commitment to getting results
Passion for making positive social change
We value experience with campus groups or student government and academic achievement
Training & Experience
Campus organizers participate in regional and national trainings throughout the year as well as trainings on-campus.
Training includes fieldwork with experienced U.S. PIRG staff and a classroom training of lectures, briefings, discussions
and role-plays. Throughout the year you gain valuable skills and hands-on experience.
Salary & Benefits
In an entry level position, you will earn $23,750-$24,000 over the course of your first year with U.S. PIRG. In addition,
full-time staff can opt in to our state health care coverage, are eligible for paid sick days and vacation days, can apply

NJPIRG
As a graduating senior, you are no doubt trying to decide what you
will do next year, or even for the next 5 years. Consider a job with NJPIRG. www.uspirg.org/jobs
I
graduated from Rutgers New Brunswick in 2010 with a degree in American Studies
and a passion for creating positive change. PIRG has provided me with an
unparalleled opportunity to make a difference in my community as well as
intensive leadership training and experience. Just this semester at NJPIRG I
have helped to recruit and train over 150 students on how to effectively
organize campaigns and develop as leaders themselves. Together, we helped over
4,300 New Brunswick students register to vote. This year we look forward to
many great accomplishments on social, environmental and political fronts.
If you’re like me, you look around and see too many problems in our
country to sit back and do nothing. With U.S. PIRG, you can actually get paid
to take on and solve the problems our country faces; from advocating for
policies that will protect consumers from big bank and credit card rip-offs, to
educating citizens and students about energy efficiency, and increasing
participation in democracy.
NJPIRG is part of a federation of state-based public
interest advocacy groups. And working together we have a much greater opportunity to make a
difference. We have a 40-year track record of organizing on these issues, and,
we’re hiring graduating seniors to jump right in and make a critical impact as
a campus organizer or in our fellowship program.
We will be holding an information session on Wednesday, February 27th
at 7:00pm in the BCC-120C. First round interviews will take place on Thursday,
February 28th in the BCC- career services office. I encourage you to find out more and apply!
