Mark Conference Captains Applications:
Are you someone who has the ambition to make your mark in some capacity? At Rutgers, in your circles, in your profession? Becoming a Mark Conference Captain is a great way to start while making an impact on fellow students and the Rutgers community. A team
of students will be given the responsibility to plan and implement the 2026 Mark Conference. The Mark Conference is a campus experience that strives to break the norms of traditional leadership development by contracting TEDx styled speakers to inspire the
crowd, empowering students to share their stories through Ignite talks, and surprising the participants with out-of-the-box elements, like a balloon pit, surprise dance party, and African Drum Circle! As a Mark Captain, you will oversee a major aspect of the
conference (such as marketing, logistics, social media, Ignite prep, experience, etc.) while also having the opportunity to develop and advise a team of student volunteers that you will lead.
As a Mark Conference Captain, you will have the opportunity to make your mark on the 2026 Conference by deciding which speakers tell their story, designing an innovative conference curriculum and experience, and implementing creative marketing strategies.
The positions are 10- month positions – from May 2025 through the transition of the new Captains in April 2026. Captains are not required to be present over the summer but will be expected to be in communication over the summer months. If you are interested
in this unique leadership opportunity, we encourage you to apply today to be a Mark Conference Captain.
Application is due: March 21, 2025
Interviews will take place: April 8 and 9, 2025
