Our Mission:
The mission of RSEi is to drive Innovation through creative student-run endeavors, building Leadership, Fellowship, and Mentorship
Our Vision:
- RSEi envisions a supportive environment for all students to pursue career-advancing activities outside of their core coursework while building life-long friendships and networks by:
- Providing Rensselaer students with experiences and knowledge so they can explore their potential
- Preparing Rensselaer students to be future leaders through innovation, collaboration, and networking
- Connecting the students and alumni of Rensselaer to build life-long relationships at Rensselaer and throughout their careers
Our Core Principals:
- RSEi is a new type of organization at Rensselaer created to fill the gap between academics, student clubs, and traditional social fraternities and sororities. We’re founded on the following core principles:
- Professional Development – We provide direct mentorship for students with RSEi and RPI alumni as well as interactions with faculty, investors, and corporations who are part of the student projects.
- Collaboration – We bring together students, alumni, and faculty to create an environment that enables students to pursue their passions and succeed personally as well as professionally.
- Networking – We facilitate member connections between students, alumni, and faculty, within the RPI, Troy, and RSEi communities through networking events, formals, socials, and lectures. Membership in RSEi allows students to create life-long relationships with other students, alumni and faculty and becomes an important part of their personal and professional network.
- Innovation – We showcase innovation through the work and accomplishments of RSEi members and their interdisciplinary projects.
- Underlying these core principles is RSEi’s commitment to community service. RSEi’s unique, 150+ year relationship with Rensselaer provides an important platform to give back to the Rensselaer and Troy communities through various community service projects.
