Welcome!
Welcome to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. You have joined a group of more than 2,600 faculty members whose work is making significant contributions to New Jersey and the world and has helped distinguish Rutgers as one of the nation’s leading public research universities.
Rutgers faculty generate cutting-edge research that resonates around the globe, whether working to develop alternative fuel sources to cut the nation’s dependency on foreign oil or developing novel treatments for the AIDS virus. As they create new knowledge through research, Rutgers faculty are equally committed to the educational opportunities that only a research university can offer to its students. Your colleagues have built a supportive and challenging learning environment for a highly talented and diverse Rutgers student body, helping these women and men become tomorrow’s leaders and actively engaged citizens. In these areas and many others, the vital role that Rutgers and its faculty play in the life of New Jersey is increasingly apparent.
There are many programs and opportunities available to you as a member of the faculty, and I urge you to learn all you can about them. We want you to have a rewarding experience and forge strong connections with our students, staff, and your fellow faculty members. Once again, welcome to Rutgers!
Sincerely yours,
Richard L. McCormick
