The Rutgers Association of Planning and Policy Students (RAPPS),
consisting of elected representatives from each of the school's
graduate programs, has several important functions, all related to
improving the quality of student life. It surveys the student body and
advises the dean on matters of student concern; it supports and
promotes the scholarly and professional activities of students; and it
sponsors social events. It also appoints the school's representative to
the University Senate, as well as to other various schoolwide
committees.
