    CLASS OF 2020 UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATES EAGLETON INSTITUTE OF POLITICS Rutgers University – New Brunswick Wood Lawn, Douglass Campus New Brunswick, NJ eagleton.rutgers.edu EAGLETON UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATES PROGRAM The Eagleton Undergraduate Associates Program was established in 1974. During the one and one‐half year certificate program, Associates learn about real‐world politics and government from experienced practitioners. Rutgers students, from all schools and campus locations, are welcome to apply in the fall of their junior year and the selected students begin the following spring. The program is a cooperative educational endeavor between the Eagleton Institute of Politics and the Department of Political Science in the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers—New Brunswick. The Undergraduate Associates’ journey at Eagleton begins with the "Practice of Politics" course, where the students examine politics as a choice. Each week, they analyze different political decisions such as the Constitutional Convention, jury verdicts, voting outcomes, budgets, public education systems, legislative actions, campaign strategies, presidential programs, and American policy. Over the summer or fall, Associates complete internships in a variety of offices focused on American politics, government and public policy. Placement locations range from congressional offices and federal agencies in Washington D.C. to state, county and local government positions in New Jersey and New York, along with some of the top political consulting and government affairs firms in the state, among others. The accompanying "Internship Seminar" course in the fall examines the art of leadership in the context of a variety of careers in government and politics. The final course, "Processes of Politics," is taken during the spring semester of senior year and is designed to help students deepen and apply their understanding of politics and governance by focusing on the mechanics of select processes and issues.

We did play ?chicken? with the thunderstorms. After some fairly vigorous behind-the-scenes debate between members of the Board, I decided that we would take the chance that we might all need to run inside at some point. Sunday (the rain date) would have been a better day, weather-wise, but the problem was that our speaker Jason Kendall was not able to reschedule. And Jason was excellent! We will surely try to have him visit LVAAS again in the future. Hopefully we will find definitive proof that E.T.?s exist sometime soon, so then we can have Mr. Kendall back to eat a little terrestrial crow. He does not believe that it is going to happen. But despite that somewhat-of-a-downer message, his talk was full of energy as well as fascinating science, and he had no problem keeping everyone?s attention when the thunderstorm finally came through, towards the end of his talk. I know a number of people decided not to come when we elected to stay with Saturday, and a few people even assumed that the rain date was in effect when it wasn?t. This is unfortunate and I?m really sorry for the members who were inconvenienced.

    The JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES VOLUME LIII JUNE 1991 NUMBER 1 LEADERSHIP ON THE BANKS: RUTGERS' PRESIDENTS, 1766-1991 By Thomas J. Frusciano Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, was born out of dissension within the Dutch Reformed Church of America as Queens College in 1766. It struggled for existence throughout much of its infancy, surviving the torments of war and recession during its youth. The college transformed its shape and character several times during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1945, Rutgers reached maturity when it was named the State University of New Jersey. The present configuration of Rutgers as a large public research institution is the result of political, social, and economic conditions that have changed the university over time. The modern Rutgers is also the product of immense dedication bestowed upon it by individuals who as students, alumni, faculty, and administrators have strived to achieve greatness. As the university inaugurates Dr. Francis L. Lawrence as its eighteenth president on March 3, 1991, The Journal takes this special occasion to look back over 225 years of history and accomplishments of those "Leaders on the Banks" who have charted the course that Rutgers has traveled-the past presidents of Rutgers. Chronology of the Presidents of Rutgers 1786--1790 Jacob Rusten Hardenbergh 1791-•1795 William Linn 1795--1810 Ira Condict 1810--1825 John Henry Livingston 1825--1840 Philip Milledoler 1840--1850 Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck 1850--1862 Theodore Frelinghuysen 1862--1882 William H.

  • The Legacy of Paul Robeson
    The Legacy of Paul Robeson One hundred years ago, in 1919, Paul Robeson graduated from Rutgers College, New Brunswick at the top of his class. Academically, he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Rutgers Cap and Skull Honor Society, and he was named valedictorian of his class. He received an unprecedented twelve major athletic letters in multiple sports, and later played for the NFL’s Milwaukee Badgers while attending law school at Columbia. Robeson was the 3rd African American in history to graduate from Rutgers, and through his ongoing work he became one of the greatest Americans of the 20th century. He was an exceptional athlete, lawyer, actor, singer, cultural scholar, author, and political activist, advocating for the civil rights of people around the world. Enduring unjust strife and inequality and using it for positive social change and justice was a true testament to his integrity, character and spirit. In the mid-1920s, after a short legal career, he returned to his love of public speaking in American theater, and through the 1930s, he was a widely acclaimed actor and singer. His “Othello” was the longest-running Shakespeare play in Broadway history, running for nearly three hundred performances. With songs such as his trademark “Ol’ Man River,” he became one of the most popular concert singers of his time. While his fame grew in the United States, he became equally well-loved internationally. He spoke fifteen languages, and performed benefits throughout the world for causes of social justice. More than any other performer of his time, he believed that the famous have a responsibility to fight for justice and peace.

    11 Who Really Rule the World ?? – Freemasons / Rothschilds ! And Seecreet Sociieetitiees iin Unniiverrssiititiees iin USA Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organised, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. – – Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States (1856-1924) So you see, my dear Coningsby, that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes. – – Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister (1804-1881) The advent of the industrial revolution, the invention of a banking system based on usury, and scientific and technological advancements during the past three centuries have had three major consequences. These have made the incredible concentration of wealth in a few hands possible, have led to the construction of increasingly deadly weapons culminating in weapons of mass destruction, and have made it possible to mould the minds of vast populations by application of scientific techniques through the media and control of the educational system. The wealthiest families on planet earth call the shots in every major upheaval that they cause. Their sphere of activity extends over the entire globe, and even beyond, their ambition and greed for wealth and power knows no bounds, and for them, most of mankind is garbage – – ――human garbage.‖ It is also their target to depopulate the globe and maintain a much lower population compared to what we have now.
