Q. What is your favorite food?
A. Oh…so many things! Right now: fresh tomatoes and basil and burrata! Most cheese. Really good sourdough bread.
Q. What is your favorite summertime activity?
A. Cooking and eating! I love cooking, but I don’t enjoy the daily grind of putting dinner on the table. But I love cooking on vacation and on weekend days where there is more time, and I can go to the farmers market and get delicious tomatoes and basil and peaches and whatever else looks good. I will happily spend all day pottering around the kitchen and love eating outside with a big group of family and friends.
Q. What book are you reading now?
A. I have two going at the moment: ‘How to Be: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks’ by Adam Nicolson. It’s about the origins of Western thought (which sounds very serious). I studied classics and love all things ancient (and modern) Greece, and this book is beautifully written and thought provoking. For something lighter, I’m reading ‘Sandwich’ by Catherine Newman, an author I absolutely love (she is hilarious). It’s about summer and being part of the sandwich generation.
Q. What is your favorite season?
A. Summer, of course! Despite being from rainy London, I love heat and the sun, and am just happier in the summer.

BJ Palencia-Tobar Senior Program Coordinator Facilities and Planning

A. A nice warm bowl of Tonkotsu ramen.
Q. What are some of your hobbies?
A. I like to do many things, but build LEGO’s and gaming with my friendss and family are some of my top choices.
Q. What’s the most unique part about working at RBS?
A. The most unique part about working with RBS is the recognition that is provided to the staff. Being recognized for your hard work and dedication is something that isn’t always provided, and it made me appreciate my position. Knowing i’ll be acknowledged makes me want to work hard everyday for RBS.
Q. What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t doing this?
A. If I never stopped drawing when I was younger, I would probably try becoming a cartoonist.

A. Don’t worry, Keep Pushing.
Q. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
A. If I won the lottery I would buy my mom the house. She would love that.
Tech News
Guidance on the use of AI at Rutgers
By now, you have likely heard about or used artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and other technology with AI capabilities. As AI technology advances, it is being integrated into search engines, writing tools, graphic design software, and more. While uses for AI continue to expand and offer new and exciting opportunities, universities are grappling with challenges on the appropriate use of AI in academics and research.
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, guidance on the use of AI at Rutgers is critically important. While the explosive growth of AI technology is new, the current policies and practices available at the University Policy Library can help to guide us in its use. I have also asked my team to form an AI working group, with broad representation from across Rutgers, to provide further guidance on the use of AI.
To support the university as the AI working group begins its important work, I am excited to share this new online resource for AI at Rutgers and provide the following initial guidance on the use of AI at the university.
Information Security and Data Privacy
Confidential information, Protected Health Information (PHI), and any other proprietary Rutgers information is not appropriate for use in publicly available AI applications and systems. These tools may not have adequate controls to prevent such information from being exposed to unauthorized parties, among other concerns. For additional guidance, please consult the Information Classification Policy 70.1.2 and other Information Technology policies.
Academic Integrity
AI provides both remarkable opportunities and numerous challenges for teaching and learning. Instructors are urged to discuss the use of generative AI technologies with their students and make clear any expectations about its use. As noted in Rutgers Academic Integrity Policy 10.2.13, the principles of academic integrity require that students make sure that all submitted coursework be “the student’s own and created without the aid of impermissible technologies, materials, or collaborations.”
Purchasing AI Technology
If you are considering the purchase of an AI application for use at Rutgers, you must follow the same processes and risk assessments as for other software purchases.
AI Tools for the Rutgers Community
A number of technology services and tools provided by Rutgers, such as LinkedIn Learning and Zoom, have integrated AI features that have been vetted through the appropriate processes and risk assessments. Additional AI capabilities are regularly being added to other offerings. For the latest information, please visit our new hub for AI resources at Rutgers.
While the Office of Information Technology works with our partners across Rutgers and other universities to develop comprehensive guidance, this information represents the foundation for the use of AI at Rutgers. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to cio@rutgers.edu.
HR Updates
HR/P Transformation Changes to Ensure Project Success
From running test transactions during three rounds of systems integration testing and reconciling payroll rosters, to refining the business process review process, the HR/P Transformation project team is taking action to ensure that the university’s HR and payroll systems successfully transition to Oracle Human Capital Management by the January 2, 2025 launch date.
The SITs, which began in April and run to October, are focused on ensuring the university’s HR and Payroll systems—which are transitioning from PeopleSoft to Oracle HCM (Human Capital Management)—work correctly together, and that changes to one system component do not negatively affect any others. To that end, during the SIT sessions, one of which has been completed, the project team will be running test transactions. These include simulating transferring an employee to a new position, creating new positions, entering time and absences, and reviewing benefits enrollments. They’ll make sure any of these changes don’t cause problems. During parallel testing, which will run from August to November, the project team will test a full payroll roster and reconcile it to the same roster in PeopleSoft, to the penny.
In October, we’ll begin user acceptance testing (UAT) sessions. UAT is carried out entirely by end users and focuses on requirements for readiness and functionality—especially those components that affect large numbers of employees. UAT also serves as an extra layer of troubleshooting for issues that may have been missed in earlier testing.
The HR/P team also has been completing system and process workflows before beginning the project’s future-state business process review, or BPR. The news here is that, going forward, the team is changing its approach.
Instead of reviewing all processes with one stakeholder group before moving to the next, the project team is adopting a rolling strategy that will involve reviewing each topic with each stakeholder group before moving to the next topic. This way, the project team will be able to collect and address all feedback on a particular element in a comprehensive manner.
The rolling strategy also will allow for timely review of each process as it’s approved and completed, and it will inform the development of tailored training for the Rutgers community. Ultimately, the goal of the HR/P Transformation project team’s efforts is to reduce—or eliminate, to the extent that’s possible—obstacles and technical issues that could occur with HR and payroll matters when the new system goes live.
As always, the project team will continue communicating with you, every step of the way, through Cornerstone News, the project website, and targeted emails to stakeholder groups within the university. You may also hear from one or more of the 220-plus members of the universitywide Change Agent Network, which is an extension of the project and communications teams.

Finance Data, Analytics, and Reporting Team Presents: Data Cookbook
The Finance Data, Analytics, and Reporting team, in partnership with OIT, has adopted the Data Cookbook for UFA definitions and report documentation. Data Cookbook is a cloud-based tool that serves as the University Finance and Administration’s central repository for data definitions, terminology for reports, and dashboards. The tool allows information to be found quickly and easily, reducing ambiguity and confusion relating to definitions, reports, and dashboard usage.
Data Cookbook is an enterprise-wide solution used by numerous departments in Rutgers, e.g., Registrar, OIT, and Enrollment Management. However, users can identify the Definitions and Specifications for Rutgers Finance by filtering on Functional Areas and Tags. The FDAR team is in the process of defining the Project Cost Dataset.
Detailed instructions are available on the FIS website.
The FDAR Data Sources defined in the Cookbook are:
• Oracle Cloud General Ledger Data
• Salary Encumbrance
• SAR Transactions
• Employee Charging Instructions (TAB DS FIN ECI V)
• SWRJ Data
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Reporting Helpdesk at reporting@finance.rutgers. edu
The COA project team has created a job aid to help units run the new RU GL 192 Cumulative Multi-Year Balance Tracking report from the Financial Reporting Center icon in the Oracle Financial Management system. Now, staff across Rutgers can access step-by-step guidance on how to report on Activity values across multiple periods/years.
2024 Staff Retreat
RBS continued the tradition of celebrating staff accomplishments at our new off-site location, 1 Corporate Place South. The day started with fun games, a tricky-tray to win great prizes and was followed by the awards ceremony. The morning session ended with an opportunity to create your own bouquet of flowers at the flower bar. After the morning events we all made our way to the bowling alley for lunch and bowling. This year the bowling was off the hook! So many of our colleagues entered the bowling competion and kept the onlookers completely invested in the excitement. Team S.E.A.L and team OTIS right out of the gates were on fire, but not far behind was team MQF. The ultimate winners were team OTIS, but only by a few points. It was an nail biting ending for sure!

B-Star Orientation
On Sunday, July 7th, 44 students from historically underrepresented backgrounds began their journey at RBS— Newark and New Brunswick, and attended the 2024 RBS B-STAR program orientation. Phase I, a 6-week residential bridge experience began on Monday, July 8th, with students enrolling in business courses where they will earn academic credits upon successful completion in mid-August. During Phase I of the program, the students reside on campus and are immersed in various program enrichment activities that help facilitate a smooth transition from high school into the higher education environment. Activities include daily workshops from current undergraduate students, faculty, staff, and corporate and community partners. Additionally, each week students attend Corporate Site Visits at the offices of program partners where they can network, receive mentorship, and engage in personal and professional development experiences. It should be noted that while 44 students attended this program orientation, the total number of new B-STAR students enrolled this year is expected to be 60+.
Phase II of the program begins at the start of the fall semester and continues throughout each student’s academic journey. The program provides intensive support via mentorship, program enrichment experiences, scholarship opportunities, and other resources to help ensure academic and professional success. Additionally, during Phase II of the program, students engage in multi-touchpoint experiences with corporate partners who provide mentorship and scholarship opportunities, and internship and full-time employment opportunities. Since 2018, the RBS fulltime employment outcomes for our B-STAR students have been over 90% every year.
Dean Lei would like to recognize and thank Assistant Dean Charles A. Brown and the RBS Office of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (RBS IDEA Office) team, including Miyokee Saint-Florant, Amanda Pagan, and Tamisha Hopkins, for their outstanding work on organizing and implementing the launch of the 2024 RBS B-STAR program, and for their great work throughout the academic year.

Our Scarlet Knights Shine on the Olympic Stage
I am so proud, as I hope you are too by watching our former RU graduates compete in the international athletic arena!! Five of our former standout athletes are representing their countries at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This impressive contingent showcases the athletic excellence and ability to produce world-class competitors, outside of football.
Leading the charge is Sebastian Rivera, a wrestling phenom who has earned the immense honor of being the flag bearer for Puerto Rico in the opening ceremony. Rivera’s journey from the Rutgers wrestling mat to carrying the hopes and dreams of a nation is a testament to his exceptional talent and character.
Joining Rivera in the Olympic spotlight are:
Kahleah Copper and Casey Murphy: These dynamic duo will be representing Team USA in basketball and soccer, respectively. Their contributions to Rutgers’ athletic programs have been instrumental in building a strong foundation for future generations of Scarlet Knights.
Arella Guirantes: A member of the Puerto Rican national basketball team, Guirantes brings her skills and determination to the international stage.
Rudy Winkler: The hammer throw specialist will once again represent the United States, aiming to build upon his previous Olympic experiences.
Beyond the athletes, Rutgers is also represented on the coaching staff. Denise Reddy, a former All-American soccer player for the Scarlet Knights, is a key member of the U.S. Women’s National Team coaching staff. Her expertise and experience are invaluable assets to the team as they strive for gold.
The entire Rutgers community is super excited to route for these exceptional individuals as they compete on the world’s biggest stage!! Their achievements serve as an inspiration to aspiring athletes everywhere and solidify Rutgers’ reputation as a powerhouse in collegiate athletics.
