This mobile classroom introduces faculty members to the city of New Brunswick. The program begins with an evening orientation followed by a one-day tour featuring the city’s history, development, government, and pressing economic and social concerns.
A follow-up program will take place in January, which will give tour participants a chance to learn from Rutgers faculty members who are currently engaged in research and outreach in New Brunswick. These faculty members will discuss opportunities for collaboration and offer guidance and best practices.
