Integrity

We believe that staff members must uphold the highest standards and principles. Ethics and integrity are characterized by trust and respect for each other, collaborative decision-making, appropriate use of university resources, service to students, and the utilization of best practices within the field of student affairs and higher education.

When Reverend Katrina Jenkins was hired as the assistant dean of faith and spirituality in Off-Campus Life and Community Initiatives (OCLCI) in the Dean of Students Office, she immediately brought a new focus to interfaith organizing across the Rutgers—New Brunswick community. Soon after her hiring, Jenkins also began promoting something less familiar to students, staff, and faculty: labyrinth activities and workshops.

Graduate students at Rutgers University—New Brunswick are a key part of our university campus: they contribute to cutting-edge research, teach and grade important university classes, and may even serve as full-time staff members at Rutgers, too. Balancing academic and parenting responsibilities is not easy. That's where the Graduate Student Affinity Group Supporting Parents and Caregivers at Rutgers (SPCR) fits in.

Paul Robeson, an athlete, actor, singer and civil rights activist who is one of Rutgers’ most notable alumni, would have celebrated his 125th birthday on April 9. To mark the occasion, various university organizations and alumni groups are holding several events in or around Rutgers University–New Brunswick throughout April to honor the 20th century Renaissance man’s legacy. 

 

On an unseasonably warm December morning, more than 2,000 runners participated in the Rutgers Big Chill 5K to benefit Winter Wishes, an annual holiday-themed event that provides clothing and toys to children ages 3-5 in New Brunswick preschool programs, and the Rutgers Student Food Pantry, which provides food to Rutgers students experiencing food insecurities.

A joint program between the Embrace Kids Foundation and RUDM, RU4Kids connects student organizations with patient families in hopes that college students can help provide comfort, friendly faces, and fun during trying times. Cameras were rolling as Joey and Rutgers UNICEF took in the sights and sounds of the 2019 edition of RUDM. For more information about RUDM and Embrace Kids, visit marathon.rutgers.edu.
