Message from the President Class

of 2023

Dear Class of 2023 Graduate,

Congratulations on your graduation! Your tenure as a student has shaped our community and your success as an alumnus will shape our legacy!

As you embark on the next chapter of your life, take stock of all you have overcome and achieved, and continue to Be Bold, Be Kind and Be Good Teammates.

Be Bold and step outside of your comfort zone. Nobel Laureate Andre Gide reminds us that we “cannot discover new oceans unless” we have “the courage to lose sight of the shore.” Go out and discover new oceans, and be sure to introduce their wonders to others.

Your experiences at Ramapo have provided you with the necessary tools to be bold and ethical leaders, to problem-solve, and to collaborate. Share those talents with others but when doing so, always Be Kind, be humble, and acknowledge that our learning as contributing members of society is a constant.

I have learned that Roadrunners labor together well, with kindness in their hearts, whether it be on the field, in the classroom, or in the very popular group study rooms at our Learning Commons. Continue to lead with empathy and Be Good Teammates by not just listening to perspectives different than your own but by seeking them out and amplifying them when necessary.

On behalf of your faculty and staff, please know that it brings us tremendous joy when you return to us to share your successes and your challenges. Do stay in touch. We look forward to continuing to be a part of your journey.

Sincerely,

Cindy R. Jebb, Ph.D. President

values—academic excellence, professionalism, learning by doing, diversity, integrity, social responsibility, global awareness and continuous improvement—are manifest in our teaching, research, and service to the College and community.

De Ed Petkus

The Anisfield School of Business provides comprehensive learning experiences in the business disciplines and in the human skills necessary for a rewarding life and career. Our students approach their business studies from both a macro and micro perspective; they develop both rational and emotional intelligence; they develop both analytical and creative skills; and they learn to balance profitability with sustainability. In addition to a strong foundation in the business disciplines, the Anisfield School of Business provides a strong liberal arts and interdisciplinary foundation to broaden the student’s perspective and intellectual abilities.

In the spring of 2006, the original Ramapo College School of Administration and Business was renamed the Anisfield School of Business in recognition of the generous gifts of the Anisfield family. Since 2010, the Anisfield School of Business has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB accreditation ensures that we are fulfilling our mission: to provide students with a strong educational foundation for a lifetime of learning and for career achievement as responsible contributors and leaders, within a supportive learning environment where engaged faculty bridge theory and practice. AACSB accreditation also ensures that our core

The School offers seven undergraduate majors: B.S. in Accounting, B.S. in Marketing, B.S. in Finance, B.S. in Management, B.A. in Economics, B.S. in Information Technology Management, and B.A. in International Business. The school offers minors in Accounting, Economics, Information Technology Management, International Business, Sports Management, Human Resource Management, Business Analytics, and Entrepreneurship. At the graduate level, the Anisfield School of Business offers a “4+1” B.S. to M.S. in Accounting and a “4+1” Flex MBA Program for undergraduate business majors, in which students complete both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in just five years.

Academic advisement, career guidance, and professional development are integrated throughout a student’s years at Ramapo College. The ASB Cahill Career Development Center assists students in finding internships and co-ops during their undergraduate experience, and relevant full-time employment—the first step in building fulfilling careers—upon graduation. The Career Center also administers our Career Pathways Program (required for graduation), which provides students with skills/ interests assessment, resume preparation, and interviewing skill development.

Outside of the classroom, our students are heavily involved in major-specific clubs, as well as Alpha Kappa Psi (co-ed business fraternity), ENACTUS (social entrepreneurship organization), the Roadrunner Financial Group Student Investment Club, the Entrepreneurship Club, the Fashion Marketing Club, and three professionally-oriented honor societies: Beta Gamma Sigma, Omicron Delta Epsilon, and Beta Alpha Psi.

guest directors and designers, or to inspire our students as artists in residence. Because of our small class sizes, these top-notch faculty are able to mentor students closely and help them realize their artistic and professional potential and goals.

De a n Ken Goldstein

For over 40 years, The School of Contemporary Arts has been an interdisciplinary arts program committed to providing students with an outstanding education in the visual, performing, and communication arts with a strong emphasis on the Ramapo College pillars: interdisciplinary curriculum, international education, intercultural understanding and experiential learning opportunities. The School, which is inherently interdisciplinary in its structure and its goals, recognizes the interconnectedness of the arts in contemporary society, and encourages students to develop and communicate ideas in multiple media. Excellent instruction in the visual, communication, theatrical, and musical arts takes place in small studio, lab, seminar, and discussion settings, as well as through activities outside the classroom environment. Practical experience, public presentation, and reflection are integrated into the educational process in many ways, such as through required Internships, theater production, musical performance and recording, visual arts production and exhibition, and the production and viewing of video, film, and design.

The School’s faculty are dedicated teachers, nationally known for their artistic and professional achievements and scholarly work. In addition to the full-time faculty, the school attracts many working artists and media professionals to teach as adjunct faculty, serve as

The School of Contemporary Arts offers five majors: Communication Arts (with concentrations in Digital Filmmaking, Global Communication and Media, Journalism, Visual Communication Design, and Writing), Music (with concentrations in: Music Industry, Music Performance, Music Production, and Music Studies), Theater (with concentrations in: Acting, Directing/Stage Management, Design/ Technical Theater, and Theater Studies), Visual Arts (with concentrations in: Art History, Drawing and Painting, Sculpture, Electronic Art and Animation, and Photography), and Contemporary Arts Contract Major (an interdisciplinary major that enables students to develop individualized programs that correspond to their special interests and career goals).

The School is housed in the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts, featuring theater, music, and visual arts spaces, and in C and H buildings, which provide a television studio and the Les Paul recording studio, digital imaging and writing labs, an editing lab, a field production classroom, and private editing suites. Additionally, the School occupies a free-standing sculpture studio complex. Students benefit from the professional performing arts programming on campus which includes music, dance, and theater performances in the Sharp Theater, and from the visual arts exhibitions in the college Art Galleries, which focus on contemporary art in changing exhibitions, and which feature one of the foremost collections of works from the Americas and the Caribbean in the permanent collection. Additionally, students participate across campus in extracurricular activities including those connected to specific CA Programs.

The curriculum across CA emphasizes an understanding of the traditions of the past while exploring new means of storytelling, expression, media, and communication. Students are encouraged to move freely across the disciplines of the school to more fully experience the creative process and to build upon knowledge gained in areas outside their majors. And, of course, students take full advantage of the campus’s proximity to New York City with its unlimited opportunities in the arts and media.

RCNJ: Fieldwork in Human & Social Services

Summer 2022

EXPERIENCE:

I am grateful for the experience of studying abroad in the Basque Country in Spain. Aside from being a great learning opportunity for my field of interest in mental health, I had a lot of fun with the other Ramapo students on the trip.

I also loved traveling to for classes, whether we healthcare facilities for the Human Services course or cafes and food markets for the Culture and Gastronomy course.

Visiting Buckingham Palace the day after Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Thousands of people had the same idea.

EXPERIENCE:

I was lucky enough to study abroad for the Fall 2022 semester in London, England. I learned loads about history from visiting historical sites such as the Tower of London and attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

I had the opportunity to visit Scotland, Germany, and the Netherlands during my time abroad. This experience helped me appreciate life to a greater extent. I will always cherish the valuable skills and knowledge obtained from living in Europe for five months.

Spent Christmas in Germany meeting the locals and touring the Christmas Markets.
