RBS Engagement and Leadership (REAL) Program

What is the REAL program? What is it's purpose?

real logo

REAL is a data analytics & student engagement platform. The purpose of the platform is to help you measure and track the activities you participate in outside of the classroom. Employers, scholarship committees, and institutes of higher education look for well-rounded students when selecting candidates, and REAL allows you to document on one platform and articulate in an interview your extra and co-curricular engagement.

REAL enables RBS to structure and measure student success outside of the classroom while integrating co-curricular activities into a holistic student experience and helps our students become more qualified, and well-rounded hires upon graduation. Students can quantify and articulate extracurricular engagement in interviews and utilize their scorecard as a transcript of their competency development during the recruitment process and stand apart from similarly qualified applicants.  

The activities are designed to develop important professional competencies and provide networking opportunities to help you become more competitive hires in the job market.

The platform also provides a single space for tracking and searching events throughout the entire business school from clubs and organizations to career fairs and employer information sessions.

However, these are not the only benefits of the program. Through gamification and the competitive components of the platform, you can earn points to win badges and prizes each month.

Understanding the Professional Competencies

Rutgers Business School has focused on 6 key areas of competency development as determined by employer, alumni, and student feedback: Business Acumen; Career and Professional Development; Global, Cultural, and Social Engagement; Leadership Development; and RBS Pride.

How do I earn points?

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

 

ACTIVITY LEVEL 1 2 3 4 5
POINTS PER COMPETENCY 10 20 50 75 150

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.

Types of Activities

Tasks

Tasks range from simple things such as following RBS 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 RBS departments. All RBS clubs can submit their events into REAL for approval, however, an event must already be approved and posted in REAL to be eligible for points.

Retro-active submission of events is not allowed, and those points will be forfeited. If you think an event by your club should be on REAL and is not, check with the club’s E-board.

Surveys

Complete important surveys from RBS to earn points (eg. Employment Outcome Survey, RBS Experience Survey, etc.)

Prizes & Awards

Prizes are earned by students who make it to the top of the leaderboard on the REAL application. You can keep track of your progress through the mobile app or desktop version of the platform.

Monthly Prizes

Monthly leaders will receive prizes such as:

  • Gift cards 
  • Various RBS swag
  • Everyday classroom essentials
  • And much more!

End of Semester Prizes (Business Forum Class Only)

The top point earners in each section of Business Forum for the semester will be invited to a luncheon with the RBS Deans and receive a certificate recognizing your achievement as well as an exclusive RBS hoodie.
