Luisa Eggert

  • Program and Grad Year: PMAc, Class of 2020
  • Company: Works as an accountant

What kind of work do you do?
I am in accounting at Verizon. I work on everything from reconciling receipts to preparing reports for internal and external audits to budget forecasting and cost analyses.

Why did you decide to go to Rutgers School of Business – Camden?
Rutgers is a reputable school in New Jersey with a great business program. The PMAc program will benefit me in the long run and help me be seen as a professional at a higher level and reputation in the field.

What has surprised you the most about going to business school?
It has been a great experience. I’m grateful to have wonderful professors. In particular, Professor Ivo Jansen (Associate Prof. of Accounting) has been great. When he and all the professors teach us, they mentor us too.

Are you applying what you’re learning in class to your work?
What I’m learning is helping me to see the financial and business world at a broader level. For example, I had been working in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry for 20 years, and then I joined the telecomm industry. I’m able to utilize my knowledge and experience from business school in this new industry. When I work with reconciliations – there are 140 that I’m responsible for – I am now able to bring a higher level of knowledge and understanding to the work I’m doing in the tax area.

How are you balancing your work and school responsibilities?
It requires a lot of sacrifice and effort. I have to be disciplined and manage my time by doing my work early in the mornings before my kids get up. I get up at 4:30 on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and I study two to three hours at night.

How do you stay committed to such a schedule?
It’s not forever. I told my kids to just bear with me. My husband is supportive. We have two girls – ages 17 and 15 – so they’re not little.

What do your teenage daughters think of their mother being in college?
I think I’m setting an example for my girls. Actions speak louder than words. I hope I am an inspiration. Actually, it’s my kids who inspire me the most.

After notified of a match, students are responsible for providing personal information to the matched executive (e.g., current resume and cover letter with information on career ambitions). The information on this application is for internal use only, for us to match you as well as possible with and executive from among our alumni database.

BLDP Application

The Spring 2023 Application is now open! 

Priority will be given to applications received by November 18. Applications are accepted until all seats are filled. Space is limited, so apply early!

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.

Requirements

Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:

  1. Completed application form (at the bottom of this page),
  2. For students with GPA 3.0 – 3.49, two (2) letters of recommendation (one academic; one other)

Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria:  (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).

Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.

Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.

Application for Admission to BLDP Seminar

Applications for the BLDP Seminar will be ongoing until class is filled.
