variety of ways. First of all, Rutgers is a highly regarded University not only in the state of New
Jersey but in the country. U.S. News ranks it among the top twenty–five public schools in America.

Rutgers University student base is nearly fifty–thousand, therefore there is a ton of opportunity to
meet all different types of students and faculty. I would like to get to know other students, their
upbringing, attempt to understand them and try to look at the world through their eyes. I am an
open minded individual from a lower class Hispanic family living in an extremely populated
town. I would like to get to know and understand different types of people as well as their culture

2. Research At Rutgers University
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

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
