Steve Forbes explains leadership lessons to business school nikhilesh de news editor
Ever yone fails, but not ever yone can learn from mistakes and go on to succeed. That was just one of the lessons Forbes Magazine Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes presented Sunday at

simple assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and Webb, a 22-year-old male from Newark, was charged with simple assault, according to an email sent to the Rutgers community. Mohammed Namazi, School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said he was walking to the Livingston Recreation Center just 40 minutes after the altercation occurred. “I was actually walking towards the rec center to play basketball, and we were told to walk along the caution tape,” he said. “Everything else was normal, we just couldn’t enter the parking lot.” Namazi, who lives in Quad II on Livingston campus, said his residence hall was not under lockdown at any point, but that there were eight police cars in the lot. The lot was reopened at 11:50 p.m. Police are asking witnesses or anyone with more information to contact them at (848) 932-8025 as they continue to investigate this incident.
