Rutgers Today is an online news center that provides a daily stream of news and events taking place on Rutgers’ three campuses to audiences both inside and outside of the university. The website showcases the best that Rutgers has to offer – groundbreaking research, public service, scholarship, exhibitions, performances, and stories about outstanding Rutgers students, faculty, and staff.
Videos and photo galleries exist side-by-side with breaking news and features of general interest. The website also provides links to external media coverage about Rutgers, the state of New Jersey, and the broader arena of higher education.
Please share your existing content and story ideas about interesting people – students, faculty, staff, and alumni – new programs or courses, books and faculty research, student initiatives, upcoming events, and other developments at Rutgers. Find out more about what we're looking for on our Submit News page or contact us directly. We’d look forward to hearing from you.
