New Website & Publication From Rutgers-Newark School of Public Affairs and Management

NJ (1/19/2010)

http://publicservice.newark.rutgers.edu/

The Rutgers-Newark School of Public Affairs and Administration has recently launched two new online resources for students and professionals who are interested in public service:

The Alliance for Public Service website contains up-to-date information on public service news, events, organizations, research, publications, and more. The website also contains career information such as professional development and internship opportunities. It is located at: http://publicservice.newark.rutgers.edu

Civic Engagement Magazine seeks to deepen the discourse about, and underscore our shared commitment to, public service. Civic Engagement features the exemplars of public service—people and projects—as well as publications, other resources for “doing” public service, and personal reflections. It is available on the Alliance website at: http://publicservice.newark.rutgers.edu/index.php/home/civic-engagement.html

I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC."

-Amanda Coffin, University of Maine at Farmington, Campus Compact student leader
