Making ‘Dough’ Rise for the 5th Annual Business Symposium

On December 3rd, RBS held their 5th Annual Business Community Engagement Symposium virtually. Small/ Mid-Sized Business Challenge, Making ‘Dough’ Rise in the New Economy, included keynote speakers from PSEG, Bank of America, NJEDA, and world renowned chef, restaurateur and founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), José Andrés. The panelists covered many approaches on “making dough rise in the new economy” by touching on states’ resources, pivoting around the crisis of COVID-19, e-commerce, tips on business bank loans and SBA’s and much more.

RBS Sends Final Exam Care Packages to Our Students

In an effort to support RBS students as this most unusual semester comes to a close, RBS leadership and staff worked diligently with vendors and donors to deliver over 7,000 RBS Final Exam Boxes to remote learners in New Jersey and throughout the country. We hope these few favorite snacks, a couple of RBS-branded practical items, and well wishes from Dean Lei brightened the day for our students who have overcome so many challenges these past several months.

Thank you to all those who made this holiday care package possible, including our generous donors: Ricola, KIND, Combos and StuffedPuffs.

RBS Donates Over 3,000 Snacks

Back in our May-June issue, we shared that RBS was able to make a generous donation to the Rutgers food pantries in Newark and New Brunswick, thanks to the large supply of snacks previously ordered for Dean Lei’s popular Snack Initiative. Thanks to generous donors (Ricola, KIND, Combos and StuffedPuffs) who donated snacks to the Newark and New Brunswick Food Pantries, RBS has donated over 3,000 snacks this year.
