Ancient Footprints, Groundbreaking Research

Andrew Du

At Rutgers, learning means more than sitting in a lecture hall. Consider recent Rutgers graduate Andrew Du, who spent two summers as an undergraduate helping dust off 1.5 million-year-old footprints. The rare findings, from Rutgers’ Koobi Fora Field School in Kenya, indicated that the earliest humans walked the way we do and garnered worldwide media coverage earlier this year. “It’s been surreal,” he says of the experience.

Du also conducted his own research into early man’s use of stone tools and presented his work at conferences in Chicago and Cambridge, England. National Geographic filmed some of his research experiments. “Anthropology just clicked with me,” Andrew says, grateful for a Rutgers education that gave him “the chance to be involved in some of the most exciting projects in evolutionary anthropology.” Learn more.

First-year undergraduate seminars with leading scholars. International executive M.B.A. programs in Beijing and Shanghai. Groundbreaking research that improves the way we live. Academic excellence, in areas as diverse as philosophy and public policy, built on a core foundation in the arts and sciences. At Rutgers, academics are about personal achievement, cutting-edge discovery, and community involvement, with students and lifelong learners selecting from a diverse array of possibilities at campuses in New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden.

You have so many choices and options at Rutgers. Even sophomores can take on research projects. Where else do you have that kind of opportunity?
