INITIATIVES
Rutgers Enactus currently has 3 Research & Development initiatives. The R&D process revolves around researching social issues, analyzing community needs, brainstorming solutions, and more. Rutgers Enactus members are able to create their own initiatives based on issues and causes they're interested in.
Environmental sustainability project (ESP)
This initiative is committed to creating a more sustainable and less wasteful campus culture. Their goal is to take action towards the reduction of carbon emissions and other pollutants in the Rutgers and New Brunswick communities. Through research and outreach, they are developing their educational Instagram account that will help create a more environmentally friendly university, community, and world.

Ignite
This initiative aims to help people experiencing homelessness or unemployment. Their goal is to help the underprivileged population develop business skills that will eventually help them secure a job. They plan on achieving this by gathering volunteers, offering bi-weekly workshops and speaker sessions, and creating a strong community between Rutgers and the people of New Brunswick.

UPSTART
Upstart's goal is to help students feel more prepared and excited about higher education, ensuring they don’t feel left behind. They focus on an integrative teaching model that gives iterative feedback to students and encourages a holistic admissions mindset. They are working with professors and instructors to create a model curriculum for students that spans multiple months and maximizes impact.
