Building a Foundation for Success

Rutgers seeks to be known for brilliant faculty, a robust and rewarding student experience, life-changing research and clinical care, and service and expertise that benefit society. These ambitions depend on a firm foundation of excellence in day-to-day operations.

Rutgers made substantial investments to strengthen and overhaul our financial and administrative systems, boost annual fundraising, and enhance our partnership with state and federal leaders. Just as important, we committed ourselves to a culture of service and support, high standards of integrity, and rigorous assessment of our progress.
