BUSINESS LEADER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (BLDP) Students, it’s not too early to begin thinking about and planning to apply for the Spring 2008 BLDP seminar entitled “Spirituality and Business” to be taught by Dr. Robert Schindler. More detailed information about this interesting seminar will be forthcoming, but generally its focus will be on the intersection of spirituality and business. The BLDP seminar for the spring semester will meet on Friday mornings from 9:00 – 11:40 a.m. There will be a number of business leaders from the community who will come to the class as guest speakers to talk on the subject. Admission to the three-credit seminar is by application only, and the three credits count as a general business elective. The application deadline for the spring seminar will be late October. Future SBC newsletters and other announcements and postings around campus will provide more detailed information about it. Space in the seminar is limited to 15 students. General information about the BLDP and the application process is available at http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/BLDP .

COURSE PLANNING AND SCHEDULE UPDATES
