RIPPAC’s Response to the Coronavirus

Dear RIPPAC Associates and the Rowan student community,

We here at RIPPAC hope that this finds you healthy and doing everything you can to remain that way.  Please remember to always to err on the side of caution and limit your chances of exposure and of exposing others.

In this eventful time in our history, we want to assure you that you may continue to rely on RIPPAC for assistance in meeting your long-term goals.  We are hard at work changing our plans and procedures to adhere to local and state guidelines on social distancing.

You are our priority. That has not changed.

It is our goal to continue to assist Rowan students with résumés, internship placements, scholarship money for unpaid internships, and networking events.  

As we adapt to the current situation, we will rely heavily on technology to deliver this assistance as best we can.

We ask for your patience as we tackle these new challenges.  If you have a specific question that hasn’t been addressed you may contact us at

Stay safe, stay healthy, and remember that, as always, we’re in this together.  That is the very essence of “citizenship.”
