Student entrepreneurs have a place to get together, share ideas and networks, build companies and form a community, with the Rutgers Entrepreneurial Society, a student run organization. Ian Bullard, vice president of the organization and a Rutgers Business School junior, said the club was established to provide the missing link between the entrepreneurs at Rutgers, to provide a cohesive link that will benefit the whole community. Bullard and Adam Rubinstein, president of the organization and a Rutgers Business School junior, attended a meeting for the organization their freshman year, but it was inactive then, Bullard said. “We met each other at the general meeting and when we heard no replies from the then board for our applications to become board members, we decided to form our own society for entrepreneurs,” Bullard said. This group was not affiliated with the Rutgers Entrepreneurial Society at the time, Bullard said.

As stated by the center, there are six interrelated categories of risk: cyber security, legal, operational, financial, "reputational" and societal.
Rutgers is not home to the Triwizard Tournament, and the fictional Weird Sisters band was absent for a night of magical rock n' roll. Despite this, Rutgers' Yule Ball was no less magical than the Yule Ball described in J.K. Rowling's "The Goblet of Fire" — but if anything, it was considerably more muggle-minded. Muggles, or non-wizarding students, convened in the College Avenue Student Center's Multipurpose Room Sunday night for an evening of magic, music, desserts, activities and a chance to celebrate the end of the semester garbed in dresses and dress shirts. The Yule Ball, inspired directly by the Yule Ball in Rowling's fourth novel in the globally-acclaimed fantasy series, is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, an inter-school competition that challenges four highly-skilled student witches and wizards to best their way in a series of obstacles.
