Spring 2010 BLDP Seminar – Employee Health and Wellbeing

 

Title:                             Employee Health and Wellbeing

 

About the Seminar:        The seminar will focus both on the case for why businesses are keenly interested in the physical and mental health of their employees and the ways businesses try to maintain and improve employee health. Through class activities and visits by executives, students will also learn about ways to maintain personal physical and mental health and how that can enhance their future career pursuits.4

 

Professor:                    Dr. Chester Spell, Associate Professor of Human Resources Management.

Dr. Spell has researched and written on various human resources topics such as adoption of employee substance abuse programs, the benefits organizations provide to employees to help balance work and family demands, and employee perceptions of the fairness of their benefits packages. Besides the considerable knowledge of Dr. Spell, there will be numerous guest speakers who will also offer their experience and expertise to seminar participants on the subject matter. The seminar provides a tremendous networking opportunity for participating students.4

 

Qualifications:               Any SBC student of sophomore standing or higher is eligible to apply for the seminar, and the 3 credits earned from the seminar are accepted as a business elective for most majors/concentrations. A student can take the seminar without completing any of the other requirements for the BLDP.

 

Time:                            Friday mornings from 9 to 11:40 a.m.

 

Deadline to Apply:        Currently Accepting Applications

 

Sign Up:                       http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/BLDP

Seminar space is limited to only 15 students. Each application needs to be supported by two references, and the two reference letters must also be received by the October 26, 2009 deadline.

November signals the Thanksgiving holiday break but also is a good month for seeking a Spring or Summer Internship.  Internships are the best way for college students to test out career choices and get experience in career interest fields.  They are not just highly recommended but have become a requirement by employers when recruiting students for full-time positions.  The Career Center can help you find the right internship related to your SBC major.  Already had one…even better to have two.  

Schedule a meeting with a CC Professional for help in getting an internship.  Call 856-225-6046 or stop by the office, lower level of the campus center
