As Rutgers 250, the yearlong celebration of Rutgers 250th Anniversary, gets under way, we recognize several individuals who have contributed to and continue to work toward making this a remarkable year. Learn more about the Rutgers 250 Office, our Coordinating Liaisons, Planning Committee, and Work Groups and Chairs.
Rutgers 250 Office
The Rutgers 250 Office serves as the primary coordinating unit for Rutgers 250th Anniversary commemorative activities. Working in conjunction with the Rutgers 250 Planning Committee, chaired by Jorge Schement, vice president for institutional diversity, and under the direction of Kim Manning, vice president for university communications and marketing, the office collaborates with departments and units across the university and other constituents to ensure that the celebration of this significant historical milestone is understood, supported, and enhanced by the Rutgers' community and beyond.
