Commited to Student Success
Introduced in 2022, academic support counselors (ASCs) have expanded MPH academic advising capacity, with ASCs meeting 20+ students per week across the fall and spring semesters.
In 2023, 166 students presented their final Practicum Capstone presentations, representing a culmination of their work as an MPH student. Additionally, 179 students registered for APE in 2023. This represents over 25,000 hours of community engaged experiential learning.
Since January 2023, the Office for Career Services has held over 125 individual career advising appointments, guiding Rutgers School of Public Health students on career development topics including public health career exploration, resume writing, mock interviewing, salary negotiation, and more. The school's new career services management platform, 12twenty, has streamlined our career advising process to help us reach even greater numbers of students in 2024.
Th Office for Career Services hosted 50 events, workshops, and programs this calendar year, connecting hundreds of students to professional contacts, opportunities, and interests. The Office of Career Services' signature program, Alumni April, welcomed more than 50 alumni panelists and over 300 prospective and current student attendees across 11 unique events.
We have combined the Office for Public Health Practice and the Office for Student Support Services into one office where all Rutgers School of Public Health students can get assistance on their curricular requirements, career advising and community engagement.
