our process
Ideation
R&D graduation
Project
graduation
If there is a cause that you're passionate about, join our Research & Development Team where you can research and explore the issue
If the R&D initiative is able to create a sustainable plan and strategy and gets approved by the Rutgers Enactus Executive Board, the initiative will graduate into a project
Once the project is self-sustaining and has a sustainable source of income, the project graduates from Rutgers Enactus and operates on its own.
R&D phase
Once an idea becomes a R&D initiative, you will join a team with other members to conduct research and formulate a sustainable plan for a project.
Project
Projects have full teams with project leaders. During this phase the project implements their plan by creating a sustainable nonprofit organization or business that serves its target audience.
