Premier Partner: Rastelli Foods Group

Providing Professional Development and Skills Training

The Division of Business Studies proudly announces its Premier Partnership with Rastelli Foods Group. This partnership offers our students unique opportunities to participate in project-based learning using real-world examples and cases from Rastelli Foods. Additionally, students can pursue internships and job opportunities within the company, gaining experience and confidence in their field of study.

The Premier Partnership also provides access to professional development and skill training events including keynotes and workshops led by Rastelli's industry experts. A highlight of this collaboration is the annual Entrepreneurship Conference, which, in 2023, was held in partnership with the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce and keynoted by Mr. Ray Rastelli, co-founder of Rastelli Foods Group.

Central to this partnership is the forthcoming Rastelli Entrepreneurship Center, currently under construction and set to open by Spring 2025. This space will serve as a dynamic hub for all business students, offering resources such as a co-working space, meeting room, and a packaging demonstration area to support student-led startups and entrepreneurial initiatives. The center will also host workshops, seminars, and networking events to foster innovation and collaboration among students, faculty, and industry professionals.

The Rastelli Entrepreneurship Center is more than just a physical space; it symbolizes the commitment of both the Division of Business Studies and Rastelli Foods Group to nurturing the next generation of business leaders. We are excited about the transformative impact the Center will have on our students' academic and professional journeys.
