    Rutgers University Step-by-Step Guide New Organization Recognition for Undergraduate Student Organizations Starting a New Organization at Rutgers University – New Brunswick Student organizations provide an outlet to connect and develop with others, create and express ideas, and inspire and impact the community. This resource packet provides valuable tips for establishing a new organization on campus. It also provides policies and guidelines that must be adhered to in order to be recognized and registered by Rutgers University. Questions? Contact the Department of Student Centers & Involvement at [email protected]. We encourage you to attend a one-on-one informational workshop with our peer advisors to expedite your recognition process. Email the department your availability to schedule your workshop. PART 1: Create a Profile Step 1: Draft a Statement of Purpose for your organization’s Constitution First, develop a Statement of Purpose that will serve as the underlying foundation for your group. Consider the following: What do we hope to accomplish? How will we serve Rutgers University and its students? How are we distinctly different from other organizations? What do we value, hope for, believe in, and support? Are we part of a larger organization or cause? In your statement of purpose, you must also describe 2-3 events or programs that the organization intends to host. Step 2: Develop the Constitution The Constitution provides the operating framework of the group. We recommend that you use the “Sample Constitution” as a guide (See guide below). The following articles must be included in your organization’s constitution: * Name and acronym/short phrase of your organization * Statement of purpose * Active membership/ voting privileges * Title and role description for all officers * Officer election, selection, and removal method Must be an entirely democratic process (i.e.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

    RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY NEW BRUNSWICK AN INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT F. OCHS FOR THE RUTGERS ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVES OF WORLD WAR II INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY G. KURT PIEHLER WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA NOVEMBER 24, 1997 TRANSCRIPT BY JOHN NEIMAN Kurt Piehler: This begins an interview with Mr. Robert F. Ochs on November 24th, 1997 with Kurt Piehler at Wilmington, North Carolina. And I guess I’d like to begin by asking you about your parents, but also growing up. Because, in many ways, not only did you spend a lot of time in your career at Rutgers, and in the New Brunswick area, but you are … a native of the New Brunswick/Highland Park/Milltown area. And maybe we should start off with a little bit about your father, because he was born in Milltown. How did your family come to the Milltown/New Brunswick area? Robert Ochs: Well, both of my grandparents came from Germany. My mother’s family was named Ziegert and they settled in South River, New Jersey and my dad’s family, of course, was Ochs, and they actually lived in New Brunswick first. My grandfather Ochs was a shoemaker in New Brunswick, and my father’s brother started a dairy farm in Milltown, and that’s how the Milltown connection came into effect. And my mom and dad got married, and I was born in New Brunswick. In fact, on George Street, up around Remson Avenue. At about the age of six months moved to Highland Park, so that was my home ... all my life, until I came down to North Carolina.
