RU-tv Stories What's one interesting fact about yourself? I’m into fashion and cool hairstyles. What is your role at RU-tv? What does it entail? I make advertisements for companies/Rutgers events and I LOVE IT. I also helped create the sale department of RU-tv Marketing. We’re currently working on getting companies to advertise with our network. Why did you choose to come to RU-tv? (Is it related to your major?) I chose to come to RU-tv because they needed workers and they asked us at CIS (Campus Information Services). I liked the description of it so I chose to come work in Marketing! It is also related to my major. I’d like to incorporate economics and management into RU-tv to make it more business-oriented so that future people who work here can get good experience for the professional world. Why did you choose to come to Rutgers? I actually wasn’t going to go to college after my senior year of high school. I applied really late to college with little hope of getting in. I actually got into all the colleges I applied to, but Rutgers offered me a lot so I couldn’t turn down coming here. It’s an awesome place, too. What do you hope to do after you graduate? I hope to be top management in a company relating to fashion. Max Thompson is a sophomore at Rutgers majoring in Management and Economics How will your work at RU-tv help you in the future? RU-tv will help me prepare for my future because management requires you to be able to work with strategy and talk to/work with people. What is your favorite part about working at RU-tv? There are so many uncertainties when it comes to working with RU-tv. We're literally reconstructing the whole thing this year. RU-tv is never a closed book. What I mean by this is that a lot of companies are set in their ways and there's no room for innovation, ideas and whatnot. The reason I chose to major in management is because I absolutely love strategy, innovation, and change. If my voice is not heard, I get pretty depressed with my job. So, my favorite part about working at RU-tv is that my voice is heard and that I have the opportunity to make a change.
