No fences Oor physical barriers separate us from the city streets; instead we are a campus without borders, an integral part of the city and its citizens’ lives. This absence of barriers helps to make our campus more than the place where our students learn and study, or where our faculty and staff come to work every day; it is our neighborhood and our hometown. As good neighbors for more than a century, we actively contribute to the scholarship, culture, and economy of the city. Our engagement with the community is as much a part of us as our excellence in scholarship, in education, in opportunity for students, and in diversity. In fact, we are nationally recognized by Washington National Magazine for our community commitment. The ways in which we engage with our community are as diverse as our campus: Numerous faculty and student collaborations with city schools, city agencies, and community organizations, on projects ranging from tutoring and mentoring pro- grams to projects to green the city; partnerships with our business programs to revitalize the city’s economy and make the city a more vibrant place in which to study, live and work; free services such as legal clinics and tax preparation advice; enrichment and summer programs for young people, and pre-college preparation programs for middle- and high-school students. Many of our schools and research centers are actively examining a variety of social and cultural issues impacting the city and seeking solutions, as well as sharing what they learn with citizens and civic leaders. Many Rutgers courses extend beyond the classroom into the community, which benefits the city while offering our students valuable opportunities to do hands- on research and immerse themselves in unique learning experiences. These are only a small sampling of the ways that Rutgers-Newark engages with the community; many more are to be found as you read through these pages.
