In October 2004 the faculty of Rutgers, School of Business-Camden approved a new program, the Business Leader Development Program (BLDP).
The BLDP provides an opportunity for students to participate in and
be rewarded and recognized for their leadership initiative. The BLDP is
not a formulaic program in which a fixed set of activities must be
completed but, rather, offers each student an opportunity to participate
in a range of activities, tailoring the program to his/her own
interests. Completion of the BLDP requires an accumulation of verified
leadership involvement at the time of graduation. One required component
of the BLDP is to enroll in at least one BLDP seminar course. The BLDP
seminar is by application only and counts as a general business elective
fro most majors/concentrations. The seminar is offered each semester,
and its topics are intended to appeal to students with diverse
backgrounds, i.e., students do not need in-depth background in any
particular discipline. Proposed seminar topics for upcoming semesters
are:
BLDP Director: Professor Sridevi Shivarajan
