MAP Chat is a speaker series featuring Rutgers MSW Management and Policy (MAP) alumni who hold leadership, management, and policy positions. Targeted to an audience of MSW students, staff, and faculty, the series features topics on nonprofit leadership, community practice, and career development. It aims to generate knowledge in the MAP arena, and build connections to our extensive network of alumni leaders.
The aim of MAP Connect is to support professional development in the area of human services management and leadership, strengthen the networks of MAP students/alumni, and to facilitate working relationships that inspire professional growth.

Alumnus offer insights from their employment experiences, and can also provide constructive feedback, encouragement, and support about career options.
