Suicide touches us all regardless of ability, age, gender identity, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, and more. This 2-hour experiential training aims to increase knowledge about statistics, risk and protective factors, warning signs, and campus resources concerning college student suicide. It will enable participants to demonstrate kindness and empathy towards others, helping them to respond caringly and effectively to those experiencing a wide range of emotional crises.

Rutgers University Alternative Break (RUAB) trips offer all Rutgers students the opportunity to serve communities around the United States and abroad to combat a variety of prevailing social issues, such as homelessness, systemic oppression, environmental sustainability, disability rights, immigration reform, LGBTQIA+ equality, animal welfare, and more. These service learning trips take place over the course of a week during the University’s academic break periods, and allow students to learn more about the communities we serve and explore the culture of their local areas. Each trip is designed and coordinated by Alternative Break Site Leaders, undergraduate students who are trained and prepared to provide a holistic and meaningful experience for their participants.

Building knowledge, skills, and networks for political, government, and community engagement

The Eagleton Undergraduate Associates Program is an interdisciplinary certificate program for all Rutgers juniors interested in American politics and government. Associates spend parts of their last three semesters linking the study of politics to its real-world application, building knowledge, skills, and networks for political, government, and community engagement. Eagleton Undergraduate Associates earn nine credits through a series of three unique courses (one each semester). 

They participate in program sessions, and an experiential trip to the State House, in addition to completing a public service internship in American Politics, government, policy, or advocacy. They learn about political power and decision-making while honing their leadership and professional skills.

The Emergency Services Training unit provides Fire Safety and Fire Extinguisher training upon request.

Rutgers Global-International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is committed to providing superior services and enriching experiences for our international community. We are here to support the journeys of our international students and scholars, from arrival to graduation/completion and beyond. Our core services include immigration advising and compliance, application processing, academic and career support, and a range of programming, advocacy, and outreach.

Rutgers Global-International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) conducts a comprehensive orientation for all new international first-year and transfer students every fall and spring semester. This mandatory orientation welcomes, prepares, and engages new students and their families in their transition to Rutgers University–New Brunswick. At orientation, students become familiar with their new surroundings and are told about available opportunities and resources on and off campus. New students also meet other new and returning students, learning from their experiences and making new friends. The primary goal of ISO is to ensure that every student walks away from their orientation program with the resources, tools, and answers to make sure their first semester is a successful one.

The Rutgers Parents and Family office also provides New Parent and Family Orientation programs and provides resources for families.
