The impact of RURCBOG on Camden and New Jersey

ESI completed a series of reports for The Rowan University / Rutgers-Camden Board of Governors (RURCBOG) that reveal the transformative effects the board will have on the economies of both the City of Camden and the State of New Jersey. 

Following up on the findings of the first report that demonstrated the importance of eds and meds as an economic engine, the second and third reports look more specifically at the economic impacts these investments have and demonstrate the promise of RURCBOG to positively transform the local and state economies while serving as a good neighbor in the process.

Going digital is not a choice any longer, but a matter of survival. The research shows that investment providers which go fully digital will see major gains while those who fail to embrace digital technology will fall out of the race altogether, risking to lose $79m for every billion dollars of revenue.
