During the summer, I interned for Rutgers University in their Grant and Contracting department. Going into this internship I didn’t know what to expect. I knew Rutgers was a very large University located in new Jersey which has multiple campuses located in New Brunswick, Camden and Newark. Rutgers is a state university of New Jersey and they recently joined the Big Ten for sporting affiliations. Their mascot is the Scarlet Knight. Since I live in New Jersey, I thought I knew a good amount about Rutgers, I was wrong. This internship has taught me so many different things about Rutgers, grants and contracting and the accounting process.
Rutgers is in the Big Ten for sports. What I didn’t know, is that they are also in the Big Ten for

These packets were very important during my time at Rutgers Grants and Contracting.
At Rutgers, I worked for Daniela, the accountant manager. Her manager is Roberta, she overlooks two accountant managers which are Daniela and the other works at the Rutgers Newark campus. Daniela overlooks multiple accountants. One accountant was Laurie. I did most of my work for Laurie and Daniela. Daniela also deals with FFATA for the subcontracts. FFATA is Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act which is a reporting tool for contractors and organizations receiving grants. Daniela gave me the subcontracts that Rutgers gives out to other organizations to collaborate on research together. I would enter these documents into Microsoft Access. This was my first time dealing with Microsoft Access so I learned a lot about the database. I had to receive exclusive access to enter the database as well as enter a password every time I opened the page. I would enter all the information needed from the subcontract and then put the subcontract into a folder and make a label for it. I then put these folders into a file cabinet. I also organized the filing cabinets and moved over 30,000 files to make space for new ones and to make the office more organized. I spent most of my time at this internship filing for employees or moving the folders to make space.
I believe I met most of my learning objectives. I learned an extensive amount about Rutgers University. I
the correct resources or were they just adequate, was I clear on the learning objective, did I talk too
In the summer of 2017, I had visited Wilkes-Barre, Arcadia University, Temple University. Wilkes-Barre and Temple had the urban atmosphere that I craved for college. Living in York, where there is farm down the street from my house, I needed to experience fast pace, never sleeping aspect of the city. With this in mind, it disappointed me how much neither Temple nor Wilkes awed me. I could see myself going there, but I could also see myself not. Another impediment was that it is only one hour away from my parents.
Now that I have completed my first half of the semester in Montclair State University, I feel like I have accomplished a lot within these past few weeks. My goals for this semester was to start off academically strong, make new friends, trying new things, find a major, and getting out of my comfort zone. So far, I have accomplished more than half of my goals. I am doing well in my classes, exploring new places, and I met the greatest group of people I can be friends with.
I have grown as a reader, thinker and writer thanks to this course. These are the things that I have worked on and improved over the past couple of months and I feel that my work shows this. In no way do I mean to sound over confident, I know I still have plenty to learn. However, I am extremely surprised and proud of myself. I will admit I had thoughts of previously giving up, I allowed myself to focus too much on the negative. Now, however, I feel differently. I have learned through this course how to write, how to express myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly, I learned to
Well, this has been another busy week. I had the interview with Techquality Health 2.0 diversity in health technology mentorship program about what they could do to help me with my project. It turns out they are more interested in helping with research in healthcare technology that the scholar is developing, more on a PhD level. Anyway, I completed my eight-week course with Future Learn over two weeks because I had most of the work already done. I would not say it was a waste of time. It helped me to rethink my project from the beginning, and I learned things I had not known about the research process such as keeping a journal of my research process and making sure my project is achievable and the potential it has to contribute
I am currently enrolled in a second semester of this program, so I am planning to finish it successfully.
In the office keep files in a neat cabinet that is easily accessible. And label the files for important things to be kept
The knee joint is one of the most commonly injured joint in day to day life and in many popular sports. A comprehensive modality is needed to diagnose all the pathologic conditions of the injured knee including that of the ligaments, fibrocartilages & articular cartilages. The information obtained from conventional skiagrams, ultrasound or computed tomography of the knee is limited. Since its introduction to musculoskeletal imaging in the early 1980s, MRI has revolutionized diagnostic imaging of the knee[1,2].
Great post this week, I also enjoyed the Smith Hill forum because it allowed us to identify the emergency management problems that Smith Hill was facing. Overall, I enjoyed this course because I feel that even though this course was only eight weeks, I feel that I was able to learn a whole lot. My favorite part was the final assignment because I was able to put into practice everything that I learned throughout this course. Good luck in your academic
However, as the course went on, I grew to value it more and more. I enjoyed writing the book review in Week Two, and the interview in Week Three, although not something I plan on doing often in the future, was an interesting experience. My original thought that the grant and residency applications would be boring was proven to be entirely wrong, and writing the book proposal allowed me to fully flesh out an idea that had been bouncing around in my head for months. As my
Also, I did want to take a moment and to share with you my disappointment on my score Exam 7, Chapter 15 & 16 and on no one's fault, but my own. I do apologize for not being on my best game due to my mom had a heart attack and being that she lives with me, which was seven months ago she moved in, and with no help nor support from my siblings. I truly found myself mentally and emotionally exhausted. My goal with this course as well as my other classes, was to maintain on Dean's list with the hopes of an
During the Fall 2015 Semester at Old Dominion University, I was offered an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue an internship that specializes in fundraising and corporate sales for Florida Gulf Coast University Athletic Department. During the first week of my internship at FGCU, I was assigned by my internship coordinator to create several initial goals that were exceedingly met due to supportive co-workers and family members. In addition to meeting my initial goals, I had also experienced several significant learning experiences along with other highlights that have affected my professional growth and development, but also suffered major disappointments due to lack of resources that FGCU had provided for me as an intern. Despite the
Within this section I am going to evaluate the good experiences I have had within this semester along with the not so good experiences, I believe by pointing out my bad experiences/ weaknesses within this topic I will be able to develop my knowledge further in the future. Below are a few of my different experiences.
More puzzle pieces came together for me. I saw my strengths and felt them too! I even reached out to my superintendent to express future interest in becoming a principal at York Suburban upon completion of the course-work. I
I have learned numerous things throughout the entire course of the semester, including, how to find and composite better research through the use of many resources found at the campus library and the internet, and how to cite my research work correctly using MLA format. The last thing I learned from the class is revising my paper until I feel everything is on track and sounds good.
