A SEGMENT FROM THE SHORT FILM OUR REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT

Flora Darpino, a graduate of Rutgers Law School in Camden, serves as the Judge Advocate General for the U.S. Army—the first woman to lead the JAG Corps, which was founded by George Washington in 1775. Also appearing in the video is Rutgers University–Camden alumnus Bryan Adams, an Army veteran who is an advocate for veterans’ issues.

This is a segment from Our Revolutionary Spirit, a short film produced for Rutgers’ 250th anniversary. The film tells the stories of Rutgers trailblazers, blending archival photos and footage with narrators, scenes, and stories from the Rutgers of today.
