Welcome Back Week

It was a very hectic and exciting time at Rutgers Business School last week with hundreds of enthusiastic students, faculty, and staff eturning to campus for in-person courses, socializing with classmates and colleagues (safely and according to University guidelines, of course), and finally eturning to some sense of normalcy after almost two years of intense COVID restrictions.

It was a pleasure to assist RBS students who were unfamiliar with 100 Rock and 1 WP with directions to classrooms, lounges, and hidden departments (few RBS newcomers notice the signs to the MSIS/F&E corridor behind the 5th Floor Bridge in NB or the 2nd floor ounge at Newark). For many freshmen and sophomores who have been learning virtually for so long, January 24th marked their very first time inside an RBS building. ay!

Dean Lei and the RBS Leadership Team welcomed the RBS Family with a week long celebration full of delicious grab-n-go food options and lots of free RBS swag. Students and staff alie appreciated the breakfast kits complete with fruit, yogurt, bagels, muffins, and ju e. The boxed lunches were also a big hit with poor Matt Peyrek almost being trampled by the stampede of hungry students. Approximately 3,000 reusable RBS water bottles were distributed as

part of Dean Lei’s Green Initiative, hundreds of lanyards to easily display IDs (as required by RU policy), post-it notepads, and countless RBS car magnets.

We are back and we are thankful!

RBS-NB Club Fair

Students representing over 15 clubs at RBS-NB tabled at Monday’s spring involvement fair. The fair, held on the 5th floor lounge f 100 Rock, was an opportunity for students passing through between classes to meet clubs and other interest groups offered to them. Student leaders had a chance to recruit and promote their clubs to the student body and provide another chance for students to socialize upon their return to campus. RBS-NB is the proud home to over 30 student organizations serving our growing undergraduate body and representing groups from accounting and finane to entrepreneurship and consulting as well as new interests such as blockchain and fashion.
