Events & Outreach

You want to publicize your events and initiatives and share your knowledge with the Rutgers community and the public. Members of the public want to tap into Rutgers’ expertise and its many programs and vast facilities. Events and outreach go two ways—and go hand in hand. Whether you are hosting a top-drawer speaker, launching a new research center, offering a new major, or starting a new program for local children, these resources can help you maximize your events and outreach efforts.
