Signs of Life Returning to RBS

by Nancy Kiley, Acting Program Coordinator, Dean’s Office - Facilities

Having been one of only a few RBS staff members at 100 Rock two days a week throughout telecommuting, it warms my heart to start to see promising signs of life returning to the Livingston campus. A summer course is being taught in-person in the large David M. Cohen Lecture Hall, PhD students are meeting with faculty once in a while, graduates posed for celebratory photos with family and friends in and around RBS, more staff members are working onsite a few days a week, and there is occasionally even a little bit of noise in the hallways. Footsteps squeaking on the polished floors never sounded so good, and the elevator “ding” excites me almost as much as the ice cream trucks of my childhood. Oh, how I can’t wait for normal, daily operations to return to Rutgers Business School, the Rutgers community at large, and to our own personal lives. It has certainly been a challenging year-and- a-half that none of us ever wants to repeat.
