Excellence from Diversity
As one of the nation’s most diverse universities, Rutgers draws strength from our beloved community's rich variety of perspective and experience. We pride ourselves on our inclusive academic culture of innovation and discovery. With a presence in all 21 counties, Rutgers is not only The State University of New Jersey, we are a leading national public research university and—through the historic merger that created Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences—the state's top academic health care provider.
The Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs serves the university’s academic community by forging important and transdisciplinary connections between faculty and students. The office helps scholars gain access to resources and align research and pedagogy for even greater impact. This approach enables academics, research, and innovation at Rutgers to function as a cohesive whole. We foster learning, discovery, innovation, service, and health care at the highest levels. We are committed to providing faculty with access and tools to succeed, and we support faculty development through an array of advancement programs, university fellowships, and professorships.
