Leadership Skills and Teamwork

Working as a team and developing leadership skills are critical competencies for your academic success at Rutgers and your future. Activities in this competency will help you identify and engage with team projects as well as chart your path to leadership opportunities. These activities can be the foundation for developing a co-curricular transcript that demonstrates your leadership skills to be shared with future employers and professional schools.

You can earn points by attending an event or completing a task. The number of points you can earn per event or task varies. The higher the level and number of competencies, the more it is worth.

For example, a Level 3 event with one competency is worth 50 points and a Level 2 event with three competencies is worth 60 points.

Tasks

Tasks range from simple things such as following SEBS on social media or joining a club to more complex tasks, including becoming an executive of a club or starting your own club.

Events

Activities include attending events sponsored by clubs and other SEBS departments. All SEBS clubs can submit their events into the grow@SEBS program for approval, however, an event must already be approved and posted in the Grow Points app to be eligible for points.

Retroactive submission of events is not allowed, and those points will be forfeited. If you think an event by your club should be on Grow Points and is not, check with the club's E-board.

Surveys

Complete important surveys from SEBS to earn points (e.g., Employment Outcome Survey, SEBS Experience Survey, etc.)

Faculty, staff, and students can submit activities for their club or their department to be included on the Grow Points platform.

Activity Submission Form

Prizes are earned by students who complete 100 points and beyond on the Grow Points app. You can keep track of where you are in the running through the mobile app or desktop version of the platform.

Prizes may include tickets to events; gift cards to Starbucks, RU Cinema, Dunkin, Qdoba, etc.; or SEBS swag like t-shirts, notepads, mugs, hats, etc. These prizes are available at the SEBS Office of Academic Programs in Martin Hall upon completion of point totals.

Leaderboard shout-outs will also be posted monthly to the digital boards at SEBS.

End of Semester Prizes

The top point earners in the Grow Points app for the semester will be invited to a luncheon with the SEBS Deans and receive a certificate recognizing your achievement as well as an exclusive SEBS hoodie.
