Course News BLDP Spring Seminar
It’s exciting to be able to announce that the Business Leader Development Program (BLDP) seminar for spring 2012 is “Non-Profit Leadership and Management,” taught by our own campus Chancellor, Wendell Pritchett. The seminar is tentatively scheduled to be a Friday afternoon once/week class.
This course will examine the leadership and management of non-profit organizations, the fastest growing (by employment) sector of the economy. The course will assess the challenges and opportunities facing leaders of these organizations from a variety of perspectives including, economic, social, political, and legal perspectives and will gain a greater understanding of the role of these important institutions in our society. The class readings will include history, economics, law, and policy. The class will visit several non-profit organizations and meet and interview leaders of non-profit organizations from several fields. Class requirements will include reflection papers and an engaged participation in class discussions and presentations.
This is a rare opportunity to take an interesting seminar course from an instructor that most students don’t get the privilege of working with directly.
The initial deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on Monday, October 24th. Applicants meeting this deadline will have a response in time for early registration. If there is space left, there will be a second deadline for later applications. However, this seminar is likely to be in high demand, so it’s better not to wait. If you’re interested, go to the web page: www.camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/BLDP for instructions and to fill out the online application form. Be sure to contact your two reference letter writers early enough that there letters will reach the office of the Director before the deadline, as well. Letters may be send hard copy or as email attachments. (And, remember, people who have already taken a BLDP seminar are eligible to take a second one by sending a letter of interest to the Director before that deadline.)
Currently, Gayle Porter is serving as interim Director. Her email address is gporter@rutgers.edu; mailing address is Gayle Porter, Professor of Management, 227 Penn Street, Camden, NJ 08102.
