BizEd 2009: Student Information

APPLYING FOR THE BIZED PROGRAM
Three high school junior students are nominated by the participating schools in early spring for the summer BizEd program. Final student selections are made by Rutgers School of Business and we strive to accommodate the maximum number of schools within the constraint of the program. Students should contact their guidance counselors as early as January to be considered for the BizEd summer program. For additional information contact Mary Ann D’Orazio at dorazio@camden.rutgers.edu

DATES and TIMES
BizEd will be held Monday through Friday, July 13-17, and again Monday through Friday, July 20 to 24. Each day will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and will end at 4 p.m. with the exception of Friday, July 24; during that evening, you and your family are invited to attend a commencement event at Rutgers-Camden.

WHERE TO GO
On day one, you will report to room 334 on the third floor of the Business and Science Building, located on Third Street between Cooper Street and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge on the Rutgers-Camden campus. Your itinerary for the rest of the week will be provided at that introductory session.

DIRECTIONS
Rutgers University’s Camden campus is extremely convenient to such major highways as 676, 38, 130 and 70. We’re also one block away from the PATCO Hi-Speed Line’s City Hall station in Camden, which is a popular method of transportation for our college students. Directions to the campus are available online at www.rutgers.edu/kiosk/directions/CMDirections.html.

PARKING
Free parking will be reserved for students who choose to drive themselves to Rutgers-Camden during BizEd. You need to notify us in advance if you are driving a car; to do so, contact Mary Ann D’Orazio at (856) 225-6217 or dorazio@camden.rutgers.edu  and let her know if you plan to drive; we only need to plan for those students who will occupy a parking space.

ATTENDANCE
There’s a lot to experience during these two weeks, and BizEd students are expected to attend every session. Since our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive overview of business education and practice, any student who misses two or more days will not be able to receive certification of course completion.

MEALS
Complimentary lunch and two snack breaks will be provided as part of your BizEd enrollment. Lunch options and beverages will be provided. Students with specific dietary restrictions should notify Mary Ann D’Orazio at (856) 225-6217 or dorazio@camden.rutgers.edu.

ATTIRE
Students are asked to follow a corporate casual dress code during BizEd sessions

GRADUATION
As mentioned earlier, the Rutgers University School of Business at Camden will host a special commencement ceremony on Friday, July 24, 2009. Your family is invited to join in the celebration. Invitations with directions will be mailed to your home address.
