“Every year, Rutgers PBL’s Dining with the Distinguished is recognized as a top event at RBS and a signature networking event for the Rutgers community and we are proud to offer students the opportunity to meet and dine with recruiters and industry professionals in a formal dinner setting,” said chapter President Matthew Peyrek.
