Student Success

Rutgers Business School student Ahzem Baldwin-Henry wanted to help fellow Newarkers stay in their neighborhoods despite redevelopment. An internship as an analyst with Bank of America was one step toward his goal. 

Rutgers Law School students in Newark were among those who played a crucial role in a $20.8 million settlement for women who recently served time at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, where a systemic culture of abuse has been well documented.

Rutgers-Newark will host the North American Women and Gender Minorities Championship Tournament from December 2 through December 4. Thirty-five teams nationwide, including the Rutgers-Newark team, one of the top 20 debate teams in America, will compete in the tournament, designed to provide a platform for those who often face bias in the debate world.

In RU-N's Center for PreCollege Programs, students explore potential careers and get ready for academic success after high school.

For the first time since 2019, Rutgers-Newark held an in-person convocation, welcoming 1,845 undergraduate students who were urged by Chancellor Nancy Cantor to be “dreamers and doers.’’ 

On her own since immigrating at age18, business major Vanesa Freire found resources and stability at RU-N.
