Statement of Camden Student Member of the Senate Executive Committee Nominee Patrick Tiedeken (School of Business - Camden): "I would like to be the Executive Committee Member for Rutgers University representing the Camden campus. I feel I have the necessary experience and leadership skills to fill the roll exceptionally. As a 2nd year member of Student Government, I listen to the concerns of students and bring those concerns to the governing board. I am also knowledgeable on internal university operations. Lastly, I have extensive experience working on teams through student organizations, greek life, and professional internships. A team player with leadership skills is key to making change happen in the University Senate, and I feel I exemplify those skills."
