    “‘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.

  • NJPIRG 2019 Chair Report
    1 Rutgers—New Brunswick NJPIRG Student Chapters Fall 2019 Referendum Report Eleanor Meli, Chair Oversight Committee [email protected] 2 Members of the Oversight Committee The 2019 NJPIRG Referendum Oversight Committee was comprised of a representative from the Douglass Governing Council (DGC), Engineering Governing Council (EGC), Mason Gross Student Governing Association (MGSGA), Pharmacy Governing Council (PGC), Rutgers Business Governing Association (RBGA), and the Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA). This is per Rutgers Policy 10.3.3. Section VI. B. which states, “the student government of each voting unit where a referendum will be held shall appoint one representative to an Oversight Committee”. Though I reached out to the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and the SEBS Governing Council (SGC), neither governing council appointed a representative to our committee. Meetings of the Oversight Committee October 4th 2019 The budget for the referendum was approved, but the original ballot language “Do you support the continued existence of the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group Student Chapters (NJPIRG) for the next three years, funded through an $11.20 per semester waivable fee ($5.50 per semester for part-time students)?” was revised and submitted to Dr. Mena for reapproval. The Oversight Committee’s rationale was that the language was misleading as the referendum was not about whether students “support the continued existence” of the petitioning organization, rather it was about whether the waivable fee would be applied to the term bill. Dr. Mena rejected our proposed language, “ Do you support the continued existence of an $11.20 per semester waivable fee on the term bill ($5.50 per semester for part time students) to fund NJPIRG Student Chapters for the next 3 years?” as too confusing and unclear as to where the money was going.

    RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES 37 THE LIBRARIAN AS SOCIAL ARCHITECT: Creating a Community for Learning and Research at the Dana Library at Rutgers-Newark BY LYNNS. MULLINS Ms. Mullins is Director of the John Cotton Dana Library Academic library facilities planning in the current climate of rapid technological change and severe economic constraint is a difficult process that generally begins with and builds on a needs assessment and prioritization of concerns. The process requires spatial thinking about adjacencies and proximities and administrative and functional efficien- cies, and is based on a series of projections and estimations of growth and change in resources and information services. The difficulty of these considerations notwithstanding, the most critical aspect of the planning challenge is, however, an underlying conceptual one—the understand- ing and anticipation of the programmatic and related user needs of the campus and the broader community and the way that the library is able to respond to these needs and shape its programs accordingly. In effect, the library uses the medium of architecture to express the nature of its relationships with its constituencies. When viewed from this perspec- tive, the challenge presents the opportunity to create an environment for learning and research that reflects the library's values and beliefs and that gives a clearer focus to its educational role. The challenge is energizing and enabling, and librarians who are engaged in the process have the opportunity to become, in a sense, social architects who can translate their vision of what they believe the library is or can be into a new social reality.
