Now, a little about each campus�
Busch campus is considered the engineering campus. Busch is the one most closely related to Rutgers College. Many students who are Rutgers college students live on Busch, and vice versa. Additionally, Busch campus is the center for most Rutgers sports activities. From my experience, the Busch student center is the second most active student center next to Rutgers College. However, there do not seem to be a large number of Jewish students on Busch. Jewish life can be created on Busch, but it should start off small. I would encourage tabling to help identify the Jewish students before planning large-scale events. To reserve tables and rooms in the Busch Student Center, and Rutgers Student Center, contact:

Cook College is the agricultural and environmental school. Cook campus has been the largest challenge of all. This year we struggled to create any kind of Jewish life on that campus. The student center remains empty for the most part and there doesn�t seem to be any one place where a large number of Cook students congregate. However, there are Jewish students on Cook, it is just harder to connect with them. To make table or room reservations in the Cook Student Center, contact:

Douglass campus is the nation�s largest women�s college. There are approximately 3,000 undergraduate women on campus. The programs that we plan on Douglass are targeted towards Jewish women. The trick to publicity on Douglass is to get flyers up in the dorms. These need to be handed into their Residence Life two weeks in advance to be distributed to the RAs. Also, tabling is a successful means of publicity on Douglass campus. For all table and room reservations at the Douglass Student Center contact:

Livingston College is known as the liberal arts and multicultural campus at Rutgers. Livingston College has about 4,000 undergraduate students. While our Livingston programs have been successful, there is still so much room for growth. Publicity on Livingston campus is our biggest challenge. The student center is not the busiest place, but tables will be approached between classes. Otherwise, the student center remains fairly empty.

At the start of the year, it would be helpful to go to each campus and get a feel for its students and campus because each campus does have a unique personality.
