A strong partnership leads to a thriving community
We’re committed to being good partners of and advocates for our neighbors. As part of that commitment, we make sure that everyone—from local residents to students, faculty and staff—has access to Rutgers’ community offerings.
Featured community programs and events
Rutgers Day
Each year in Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden, we invite our neighbors to learn about everything our University offers, and celebrate our partnership with the state of New Jersey and beyond.
The Science Bus
This 40-foot-long blue bus visits middle schools around the state, giving students a chance to solve real-life problems and explore career opportunities in STEM.
Young Women in Bio
As one of the first to host a YWIB event in New Jersey, we invited 250+ high school girls from 18 schools throughout the state to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School to learn more about career options for women in biomedical sciences.
BioLinks
A partnership between Rutgers and science teachers at local public schools, this program gives graduate students and postdoctoral fellows the chance to volunteer their time with K-12 students throughout the region.
