Together A Faculty and Staff Guide to Rutgers - University Relations

Your Guide to Rutgers
On July 1, 2013, we enter an exciting new era for
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I am
pleased to welcome the many talented faculty and
staff from the University of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey to our vibrant community. Together, we
will carry out the most significant transformation of
higher education in our state in the past 50 years and
make Rutgers one of the top comprehensive research
universities in the nation.
The task of integrating our people, services, and systems has been highly
complex and will continue for some time to come, but one thing is clear:
we are now united as one Rutgers, with one accord. This guide is intended to
familiarize faculty and staff—those already here and those joining us—with
Rutgers’ newly expanded core components and key resources.
Established in 1766 as one of the nine colonial colleges, Rutgers has grown
into a world-class institution with 33 schools and colleges, 65,000 students,
and more than 20,000 faculty and staff. Through the centuries, Rutgers’
commitment to education, research, and service has provided the constant
as it became the state’s land-grant university and later the state university
and New Jersey’s only public member of the Association of American
Universities. We now begin a transformation that will propel us and our
state to even greater heights.
I look forward to our work together.
Sincerely,
Bob Barchi
