Additional Involvement Opportunities

The Rutgers University - Camden Office of Student Involvement offers a wide variety of opportunities to develop, explore, challenge and test your leadership potential. These extracurricular experiences give our students a competitive edge in the internship, graduate school, and career application processes.

A scholarly article titled Student Involvement: A Developmental Theory for Higher Education by Dr. Alexander Astin, published in the Journal of College Student Development, indicated that students who choose to get involved in extracurricular activities are less likely to drop out, are more involved academically, and experience a higher level of student learning and personal development than those who do not.

A Job Outlook Survey conducted by the National Association of College Employers (NACE), identified the top five personal qualities/skills employers seek in hiring college graduates: verbal and written communications skills; strong work ethic; teamwork skills; initiative; and interpersonal skills.

Organizational opportunities with the Office of Student Involvement that aid in the development of these skills or competencies include:

• Student Organization Officers/ Members (Over 50 Unique Organizations on Campus)
• Rutgers University - Camden Student Governing Association
• Employment Opportunities
• Volunteer Roles on Planning Committees
• Leadership Development Workshops

The Office of Student Involvement strives to create organizational opportunities that fit any interest, schedule, or skill set.
