A Historic 250th Anniversary Commencement
Marking Rutgers’ 250th Anniversary, President Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, delivered the commencement address on Sunday, May 15, 2016, before more than 50,000 guests, graduates, faculty, and staff. Saying of Rutgers, “America converges here,” President Obama described Rutgers as “one of the finest research institutions in America.” He challenged graduates of “this intellectual melting pot” to work globally to solve problems and be civically engaged—“to have faith in democracy” and “shape our nation’s destiny.” Congratulations to the newest Rutgers graduates and welcome to the Rutgers Alumni family.
