About Us
Welcome to The Braven Nation – where we believe that leadership is not a title, but a mindset forged through diverse life experiences. Every individual carries within them the seeds of leadership, nurtured by unique journeys that shape resilient, wise, and mature individuals. As Jack Welch, the ex-CEO of General Electric, aptly put it, "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." At The Braven Nation, we embody this philosophy, fostering a culture where our members embrace their leadership potential and empower others to do the same. 💪 In partnership with Braven, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honing students' professional and leadership skills, we are the catalysts for the next generation of CEOs, entrepreneurs, and accomplished professionals. Our mission is clear: to cultivate a community of extraordinary students, drawn together by the shared ambition to realize their fullest personal and professional potential. We focus on propelling our members toward career-accelerating post-graduation opportunities, identifying those who have demonstrated leadership prowess at Rutgers - Newark and through the Braven Leadership and Career Accelerator. The Braven Nation isn't just a club; it's a dynamic network designed for students eager to expand their horizons, strengthen their leadership skills, and perpetuate the passion that drives success. While our events facilitate peer-to-peer connections, we go beyond – building bridges into a professional network committed to giving back. By nurturing these connections, we not only provide invaluable resources for current students at Rutgers University – Newark but also create a tighter-knit, well-connected community that elevates our school's prestige. Join us in shaping the leaders of tomorrow and embracing the endless possibilities within The Braven Nation.
