    “‘No Cap’: Imperative Improvements in Rutgers University - New Brunswick Counseling and Psychiatric Services” By Emily Grzesiowski The Undergraduate Research Writing Conference • 2020 • Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Emily Grzesiowski 198 Hamilton Street New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 November 21, 2019 Melody Lasky, MD, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Health and Wellness Rutgers University Counseling and Psychiatric Services 17 Senior Street New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Re: Rutgers Mental Health Services Improvement Dear Dr. Lasky, Once again, I would like to thank you for attending my presentation at Scott Hall last month. The neglect that Rutgers students face due to the lack of care from Rutgers Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) has reached an overwhelming level. As a public health major but also as a part of the Rutgers community myself, I truly appreciate your concern for the wellbeing of the undergraduate population, especially in regards to your role as the Vice Chancellor for Health and Wellness. As discussed in the presentation, much of the psychiatric dilemmas that the average college student face today are great, but the challenges universities face to help them can be even greater. At Rutgers, I have found that many of the methods that the Counseling and Psychiatric Services executes can have serious deficiencies. For many students, CAPS does not provide mental aid, and rather lacks necessary accessibility and quality of care. Many students find it extremely difficult to find an adequate date for an appointment, and when they finally get to a service center, they are treated with virtually the same regimen as their peers, with no differentiation between each patient.

INTRODUCTION 1. The New Jersey Constitution, art. 2, § 1, ¶ 3, guarantees the right to vote to every U.S. citizen over the age of 18 who has been a resident of the State and a county for 30 days, has not been adjudicated to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting, and has not been disfranchised as a result of conviction of a crime. 2. During each election cycle, New Jersey’s 21-day advance- registration requirement, embodied in N.J.S.A. 19:31-6, severely burdens the right to vote of thousands of New Jersey residents. The advance-registration requirement prevents otherwise eligible citizens from casting a ballot and having their ballot count. 3. The advance-registration requirement burdens some groups of New Jersey residents more than others.

Ingresa a NEWSVOICES.ORG para aprender más sobre nuestro proyecto y regístrate para mantenerte actualizado. El paisaje de las noticias locales en New Brunswick En New Brunswick, las noticias locales han cambiado de manera considerable para bien y para mal. En la actualidad hay menos cobertura local disponible de parte de los periódicos regionales, sin embargo nuevos medios están surgiendo para llenar algunos de esos vacíos. Durante las más recientes décadas, los residentes de New Brunswick han confiado en múltiples fuentes para mantenerse informados. Primordialmente “The Star Ledger” (perteneciente a NJ Advance Publications) y el “Home News Tribune” (perteneciente a Gannett). En el año 2008, “The Star Ledger” perdió a más de la mitad del personal de su sala de prensa y “Gannett” redujo más de doscientos puestos de trabajo en sus ocho periódicos a través de New Jersey; desde entonces los dos periódicos han enfrentado varias series de cesación de sus empleados, compra de renuncias y licencias sin sueldo.

I am privileged to welcome festival performers, vendors, and patrons to the 30th anniversary extravaganza. The festival’s rich history of folk music, original crafts, and fun family activities will continue this year and for many years to come. To help commemorate our 30th anniversary, all musicians performing this year are returning from previous festivals. The 2004 New Jersey Folk Festival will be a day full of reunions. The festivities will be kicked off by Frank Watson and his Scottish bagpipes. New Jersey’s own, Tony Trischka will be playing banjo on our Skylands stage, with longtime band, Skyline. Among the notable reunions will be the return of the Festival’s first music coordina- tor, Kathy DeAngelo, along with her band, The Lentil Soup Boys, whose members Peter Anick and Alan Pagliere performed at the first New Jersey Folk Festival in 1975. Along with great music, we have a wide variety of food, amazing crafts and for the little folks, a children’s area complete with pony rides and crazy crafts. A key focus this year is on the unique cultural diversity the New Jersey has to offer. Special events taking place in our heritage area include, a huge flag commemorating the World Trade Center disaster, basket weaving, duck decoy carving and festival favorites, the Briar Rose Farm wool spin- ners. Whether this is your first festival or your thirtieth, I hope that you enjoy the day and all it has to offer! Sincerely, Morgan Grass 2004 New Jersey Folk Festival Manager About Our Logo For many years, the New Jersey Folk Festival has used various representations of the Jersey Devil as its offical logo.
